Dyson Zone Packs Air Purifying and Noise-Canceling Technology into a Unique Pair of Headphones

When the first images of the Dyson Zone appeared in late March last year, the internet had an absolute field day. Headphones with a detachable mask that served as a personal air purifier? April Fools’ Day had come early! Everyone who saw the photos or read about them had a strong opinion, and it’s understandable why.
