Dyson, the company known for its hair dryer and vacuum technology, has released its first stand-alone pair of headphones called OnTrac. This isn't the company's first foray into the audio space, Dyson tried its hand at headphones with the Dyson Zone, which features a detachable air purifier visor that goes over your mouth and a $700 price tag. The new OnTrac headphones are much more approachable with no additional air purifying functions (and $200 cheaper). Mashable's Miller Kern spent a month testing the new noise-canceling headphones to see if their quality stands out as much as their design.
