Glad we were able to team up on this one 😂 Well done sir!

If Dyson wants a challenge, they should create a silent leaf blower.

Applause for you having the courage to not only wear these in public, but to test them in a Porta-potty.

What I love is that Dyson job was served MKBHD just advertised their vacuum cleaner, blade less fan and hair dryer all in one video multiple times and mentioned how much he likes them.

Props to the person/team in Dyson that was able to present and convince the company board to make this product. The real MVP.

So ready for a Dyson-Escobar collab right now.

If they want to impress me, they should make a Dyson sphere.

Vision Pro with these PLEASE. full immersion 😂😂

If the fans cooled my ears, I'd be enticed.

Dyson should make this into a motorbike helmet, like the fresh air could also be used for the fact that sometimes the visor gets foggy and also you could just straight up have the headphones to communicate better since your ears are in a housing not a confined space of cussioning.

The fact that Dyson is able to bring this product on the market is actually a sign of how well the company is functioning. And yes, 99,9% of people will say that this is a dumb product, but it’s at least 80% of companies that have become so risk averse that they will never succeed in creating breakthrough products.

I have grudging respect for the person who decided to take noise cancelling headphones and attach tiny white noise machines to them

If they put a "Bane" mode in it, I would buy it

I'm sorry but I have never seen someone just destroy a product so thoroughly. Amazing. I subscribed

'no one cared about who i was until i put on the mask'

For a product that seems to have a ton of work and effort put into it, this is the exact definition of “we were so focused on if we can do this and forgot to ask if we should do this”

still can't believe this product is real

I admire this man. He followed through on a product review he already felt may not be ideal and that’s saying it nicely. He truly deserves kudos on doing a review no matter what.

This is the most thorough review I have ever seen in KZfaq that's not boring/drab. Thanks for this video. I was looking to maybe purchase this but had second thoughts. That's when I found your video.

That segment with Mike really goes to show why big companies need consultants in multiple fields

My boy turned a product review into a business lesson😂 well played

Fans directly next to your ears is crazy. This will either drain extra battery through ANC, add shitty noise to transparency mode, or push your volume higher increasing risk of noise induced hearing loss or tinnitus. Well played Dyson, I'm talking about it too.... 👏

Oh my god, I started laughing when u snapped on that mouthpiece.

I used to work in Dyson, and before I left the company I was working on this product. What I can say is, it is the first and very weird collaboration between the UK Dyson Engineering team, Malaysia Dyson Engineering team and China team. We all worked really hard on this product and it really has tonnes of features, but like what this video is suggesting, it creates more problems than it solves

Why would Dyson make this? Because in one video they got MKBHD to endorse their Vacuum, their hair dryer, and their fan. That’s why

These must be the easiest investment purchase you'll ever find. In 20 years: "God do you remember those air filtration headphones that dyson made and they sold like 10,000 of them?" lmao.

more than the product, I really appreciate your high-quality video approach, attention to details, relevancy and final touch. Very nice job!

You stepping out of that bathroom was probably the first time I've laughed out loud at a tech review.

“You merely adopted air filters, I was born in it, molded by it” - Probably Dyson

Love Dr Mike! I am so glad I found your channel!! I like the idea of the data visualization in real time but not for 1K

I wear headphones and a half-face respirator all the time and I've never wished the two were combined. Solutionism at its finest

I am all about you reviewing dumb things! The dumber the item the more professional the review. So much fun.

This is quintessential MKBHD. This is everything the channel stands for. Unbiased review of interesting curios. No matter how good or ridiculous...you will always get the good, bad and the ugly part of the product with extrordinary production value. Take a bow!

When a product has two or more main functions it generally does two or more of them poorly.

Just checking, has Dyson as a company been destroyed?

Dr Mike hit the physics on the head, great explanation of filter efficiency.

I feel a whole series of medical tech being reviewed by Marques and Mike debunking them. I would love that!

I have their Purifier Hot + Cool Formaldehyde. It's less good than a traditional fan, but a traditional fan doesn't purify air at the same time and when it gets a bit colder heats. It's perfect for a smaller room like a bedroom to have it constantly running on night mode. Thanks to the app (and also just smelling) I notice an improvement in air quality. So yeah, especially their purifiers is a jack of all trades, master of none.

How can one like their vacuum cleaners? 1. They last only a few minutes on max power until you have to recharge them. 2. They are heavy. However, this goes hand-in-hand with the short battery usage, so most people won't notice. 3. As mentioned, you can use them only for a short time, so they only make sense for small apartements. 4. They are absolutley weak compared to ANY vacuum cleaner powered with a cable I had. Total disaster. I never used them again.

Calling Dyson a "weird" company as opposed to unconventional, bold, or daring, was hilarious

I feel like Dyson is missing out on how well this would work in a motorcycle helmet.

10:42 think you’ll find the air from the headphones will be under positive pressure in relationship to the air pressure around us all the time; bit like surgery ward, it’s under constant pressure to stop germs and such effecting the person on the table. Or in a contagious disease ward is negatively pressured to stop the diseases escaping / spreading.. 10:42

As a digital marketer, they did a great job actually!! About 8 million people now just from this KZfaq channel and in just 4 months started to know their company and probably will remember their name as well! Genius Top-of-the-Funnel marketing campaign!

Marques is the kind of YT reviewer that actually calls in an actual doctor to check out a product. A+ man xD

From an engineering perspective, it's pretty amazing to create a motorised air-purifier system that fits on your head, even if it is completely unnecessary.

It's such a strange combination to me 😅 people wear headphones in two situations: 1. Gaming/working indoors, where you can put an air purifier for less than 1000,-. 2. Outside while on a walk/jog, or commuting... in the fresh outside air 😅 If it's just a facemask with an air purifier in it, it'd make more sense to me. (If the filtration works both ways of course) that way, you can wear them when you're feeling sick, or when visiting someone who is sick themselves.

Best Video description ever. 🔥. Love your videos

This was 100% an engineering challenge for minimising the vacuum and filters, experimenting with speaker drivers, and afterwards they thought “sod it, let’s give it a go on the store”.

This wasn'tjust a video, this was a mini documentary. Hats off to him for putting in so much work into his vids.

Finally somebody exposing this scam! Great job!

Hey we have the same vacuum cleaner. Flick the switch to maximum suck, and watch the battery literally yell 'NOPE!' 🤣

It always amazes me seeing just how hard it can be to manufacture a product even when you know tons of people will buy it, and yet weird niche stuff gets made all the time like it’s no big deal.

You deserve 100/100 for the effort of testing this one in public places. Hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

The air is not getting any cleaner. This should be looked at almost as a test solution for a future problem

This is an excellent video. Well produced. Subscribed!

Fun fact: James Dyson tried over 5000 different prototypes of a bagless vacuum cleaner before getting a manufacturer on board - and that manufacturer only sold in Japan. Dyson used that money to launch his own business. The rest is history. So, of all inventors, Mr. Dyson seems to be familiar with hit and misses a lot. All that said, I just hope there aren't 5000 prototypes of these headphones LOL

I loved this video! great humor and fun to watch. great work again. also as always great information

I actually love the idea behind the headphones. Like i would buy it tbh, but maybe after some improvements. I just feel that the air purifying part is much better than the normal air. Like the doctor was saying that it will push the cold air inside ur mouth or nose, but isn't the cold air already in if ur breathing normally?

Props to you for actually reviewing it. The fact that you uploaded the video means the mask didn't suffocate you at least 😂😂😂

Lmao, I still can't believe this product is real.

The Dyson Solarcycle Morph Lamp I’ve got on my desk is awesome. You can set it to the zip code it’s in, so it follows the sun’s position in the sky. As the day progresses, the light becomes increasingly brighter and whiter; as the day wanes, the light becomes mellower and more yellow to help with your circadian rhythms. Achieved by regulating the amount of blue light it emits. It also has a proximity sensor so if I get up in the middle of night, it lights my path, then turns off once I’m back in bed. It can turn on at preset times to coincide with your morning routine, helping you wake up, for example. When you’re away on a trip, you can set it to turn itself on and off randomly. It has different light modes: study, precision, relax, wake up. All this for $650. A high end side table lamp with nothing but an on/off switch and none of these features can cost anywhere from $1,800 to $3,800 and up if bought from any of the well established lighting and design companies such as FLOS, Roche Bobois, Artemide, Design Within Reach, etc.

I saw an ad for this product in the streets a couple of weeks ago and my first thought was: It's completely dystopian.

I used to work at Dyson and honestly all of us in the non engineering departments thought it was a joke, yet another random thing the engineers work on that gets canned after years of development and £££££ - but here we are!

The fact that the battery goes from 50 hours to 2 the moment you turn the filter on is craaaazy ☠️

No, I am currently rocking a 12 pro and don’t see the need to upgrade. Now, on the watch keep on going back and forth, have the 7; what are ur thoughts? Is the upgrade worth?

This is actually very similar to an idea I've had for a long time. Not because I'm an engineer or anything, but because I read a lot of comic books. I always thought it would be cool to have some self contained helmet type thing that managed your audio, air, could filter your voice, maybe some visual stuff but that's going overboard, built in camera, etc. Like a smart helmet basically. I could never imagine a version where it wasn't some giant bulky thing that looked ridiculous on your head, I'm glad to know Dyson didn't figure that out either.

I can totally seeing something like this coming out for VR headsets in the future for smelling scents in VR

As a person who sleeps with a CPAP machine, if I were commuting by train for several hours a day, I would want a version of this product that would create a seal, warm the air, and have a moisture reservoir to ensure my nose doesn't dry out. Basically a product that's a portable CPAP machine with noise-cancelling headphones, would be perfect for sleeping on a long-distance train/bus/coach/plane.

Great video as always. As headphones for in the house, on an airplane these are awesome, on the heavy side though. These are the best sounding headphones I’ve heard though.

I agree with you on this device its not for me either but just so your aware for accurate review the gap should be a non-issue bc it is supposed to be positive pressure air flow so no air can get in the cracks since its always pushing air out.

Did not expect to learn about Brownian motion of covid particles and loss leader marketing strategy in a tech video. This was hilariously entertaining and informative. I do like the idea of joystick controls on the ear cup.

They also did a washing machine, well in the UK at least. Instead of one drum rotating, it was split in half which went in opposite directions. In principal, it would wash much better but in practice, components failed constantly and it chewed clothes. Definitely a miss!

The doctor explained pretty well on the filter, and hence it is not filtering smells. But with enough airflow coming out from the visor it may still be blocking pathogens from going in from the gap, just like how a biosafety cabinet works, though I doubt it very much.

I don’t believe I ever felt a need to purify the air I breathe while simultaneously donning a pair of over the ear headphones.

One day I’ll have to tell my kids “i was around when dyson used to sell vacuums only….” 😂

No lie, this would've been the most popular products in the late 90s and early 00s internet cafes. The smoke in there, wow, I'll never forget how the AC/smoke smelled like.

This, a light sabre, and a cape and you have everything you need for a Stormtrooper cosplay outfit.

That actually looks cool. I'm a fan of the headset era. Air and VR

You know a reviewer is a professional when he roasts the product he reviews but is also impressed by many things about it, like the packaging and the app monitoring the audio levels. Non-biased, truly good reviewer. Was so fun to watch!

If I was a Dyson Marketing Employee, I would be crying right now. This is content-cop levels of dissection and destruction 🔥

I need this right now the yellow pollen from pine trees is a complete haze. VOC is not going to be filtered by this product, likely this just helps with PM 2.5 removal so could be helpful if there was a wildfire exceptional event.

funnily i work a second job as a cleaner and dyson are the least reliable and most expensive vacuums on the market, but we keep getting them anyway cus it's a dyson and it isnt our money :) we have 2-3 new ones in storage to replace 1 hoover at all times due to the unreliability. Never seen a cordless dyson last more than 6 months. We arent cleaning huge mess either, just a fckin bank lol.

He's not the tester we deserve, he's the tester we need.

Was not expecting a Doctor Mike colab, but I’m all for it.

Perfect for that nyc subway commute

Bro, the way you explain background of the company first to enable your viewers to get all the context is just SMART & OUTSTANDING. Thanks for putting in this much effort.

Thanks for taking one for the team. When you did the porta-potty test, my respect for you sky rocketed. I do like the joystick idea for music control though.

Lmao! I saw an ad for that on Facebook once and was like what the actual eff 😂

i don't own any dyson products but you bringing up their vacuums and fans i was like hmm i should try those out some day. and then at the end with mike bringing up loss leader i was like "well shit they got me" lol

The fact someone thought this product was a good idea is further proof we live in GTA parody world

my confusion is why didn't they just make a motorcycle helmet which cools the driver with a fan, has decent quality headphones and somewhat filters the breathing air? That way the pricepoint for the materials makes more sense and there's an actual target audience. Also that would help with the weight issue as a helmet will already be heavy. AND it could actually have a seal.

This is like if Ferrari were to make Qtips 🤦‍♂️ stay in your lane Dyson! 😂 Filtration aspect: Dyson would do better in anything HVAC related. Dyson Automotive Filtration; vintage restomod aftermarket HVAC; wall mounted commercial filtration in stores, train stations, etc; marine (boating) HVAC; so on and so fort. Silent Motor aspect: leaf blowers; any electric saw like Festool, make them with a nice futuristic design; coffee makers and other coffee related machines; pressure washers; etc.

this is honestly so cool. I love the amount of design effort put into this concept!

The ultimate collab

From the look of the filter, it's for physical filtration only (e.g. dust). To remove chemical vapors (gas, "porta-potty", etc.), you need different materials (usually activated carbon). Dyson tried to make a PAPR which doesn't need a seal but at least they admit it's not a medical grade. I knew this product was a joke the first ad I saw. Glad you called them out on this one!

cool explanation, doc, N95s did not reduce transmission at the meta level. the data is unambiguous and we've known since the spanish flu that masking does not stop respiratory virus

the positive pressure makes reduces the need for a seal. Not sure by how much, but an N95 mask has not positive pressure. this does. We make laboratory clean room hoods that use the same phenomena. There's no seal but the positive pressure creates a virtual wall for the air.

This actually could be really effective as a loss leader strategy, because now if they released $400-500 headphones with these features minus the respirator, and put their engineering talent towards high quality audio, I’d be interested to check them out, whereas before, I wouldn’t even consider looking at them.

It's crazy to me how the thing that you gushed the most about on this product was the little joystick/nubbin control. Like literally the kind of reliable input controls that we've had for about a century, but everyone's been so obsessed with digital fingerpainting for the past decade and a half that, I don't know, we've forgotten that other control schemes just work better in a lot of applications? I'll be really glad when the novelty has fully worn off of touchscreens and we start getting smarter input fusion solutions for our devices.

3:34 - And don't forget the 'Dyson Blade', as seen in your local mall's washroom, for drying your hands!! 😂
