This is the first time we've *ever* seen these headphones go on sale.

SAVE $50: As of Nov. 30, Dyson's OnTrac active noise-canceling headphones are just $449.99 at Amazon, down from $499.99. That's a $50 discount.


With Black Friday behind us, there’s just one shopping day left: Cyber Monday. And Amazon’s already offering some pretty hot deals.

Right now, you can grab the new Dyson OnTrac active noise-canceling headphones for just $449.99 — that’s a $50 discount and a new record-low price, according to our trusty Amazon price-checking tool, CamelCamelCamel. (Best Buy also matches this price.) This is also baby's first discount, as we've never seen these headphones on sale before.

At $449.99, you might be wondering if these headphones are worth it. Well, according to Mashable reviewer Timothy Beck Werth, the audio quality is superb. He was blown away by the immersive sound, calling it a serious competitor for the "best audio experience" he's ever had. "If you want to disappear into a bubble of sound and enjoy your music to the fullest, these headphones deliver a powerful experience," writes Werth.

Not only do these headphones sound good, but they also do a pretty good job of blocking out background noise. “During a test call, a friend was able to tell that I was calling on headphones, but they could barely hear the train passing in the near distance,” writes Werth.

On top of that, thanks to an ingenious Dyson design hack, these headphones have an insane battery life. Listeners can get 55 hours of playtime with ANC engaged. You also get an uber-comfortable fit.

Is there a downside, besides the still-high sale price of $449.99. We can't deny it — these aren't the sexiest headphones you can buy in 2024. The design looks a bit "clunky," as our reviewer said. While they lack the cool vibes of the AirPods Max headphones, we think they deliver superior sound and battery life.
