Did you hear the one about Dyson’s air-purification headphones that flopped harder than a pancake at a breakfast buffet? Yeah, apparently it turns out that consumers care more about style than function—who knew?
Jake Dyson himself admitted in a chat with Wired that people aren’t just looking for something to suck up contaminants; they want their headphones to look good while doing it, too. Go figure!
So, while the tech might have been top-notch for cleaning your airways, it seems the real design flaw was on the outside. Lessons learned, Dyson: Next time, make sure your headphones don’t just filter out dust but also look like something that doesn’t belong in a sci-fi horror movie.
But let’s be real here, is it possible to have both a beautiful product and a useful one? Time will tell if Dyson can pull off a glow-up that skips the cringe-inducing phase.
