Our Verdict
Dyson Zone Wireless
Dyson OnTrac Wireless
The Dyson Zone Wireless and Dyson OnTrac Wireless are similar headphones with almost the same headband design unless you want the air filter 'visor' exclusive to the Zone. For most people, the OnTrac are more practical because they're slimmer with a longer battery life. The Zone are rather large and heavy, but have a more protective case.
