Battling air pollution
City air can be high in pollutants - from industrial emissions, to car exhausts. And in public spaces, air can also contain higher levels of bacteria and allergens.

Engineered to breathe
Dyson engineers developed a manikin with a set of mechanical lungs. Programmed to breathe as a human does, it enabled us to accurately test the correct amount of airflow through the Dyson Zone™ air-purifying headphones.
Features
Air purification
Dyson engineering expertise enabled us to develop our first wearable device. With a 2-stage purification system capable of filtering city fumes and pollutants. So, wherever you are, you can breathe purified air.
Contact-free visor
The visor channels a continuous stream of purified air to your nose and mouth, without touching your face. For natural, comfortable breathing with no stuffiness.
High-fidelity audio
We also built Dyson's first premium audio technology – delivering immersive, high-fidelity sound, with advanced active noise cancelling to block out unwanted disturbance.
