I think the reason why the Dyson is perceived as quieter is because of its motor's sound frequency. Though the Laifen is quieter in sound test, the human perception that it's quieter is negligible, and the statistically louder Dyson sounds quieter. It's an anomaly that engineers take advantage, sort of like how vacuum cleaners are engineered to be loud on purpose, because users perceive a quieter vacuum as weak, even if the suction power is the same regardless if it's either quiet or loud. What I've noticed with Dyson's Supersonic hair dryer is that its high rpm motor has this high pitch that your ears eventually cancels out, so it's perceived as quieter. Such a cool trick from Dyson. It's very reminiscent to other engineering tricks, like adding weight on, for example, a remote or over-the-ear headphones to give it a premium feel, because customers complained that the products felts cheap when it was lighter.
I got the Laifen SE today! I stopped using hair dryers pretty much after the first time I used one in the late 90s LOL.. the reason being that it was too loud (I'm sensitive to loud noises), bulky, and hot. This is by far the quietest hair dryer I have heard! And it works so well on top of that?! Win win. I've never tried a Dyson because it is so expensive, but with the Laifen I don't think I'll ever have to try it. I am so happy with this product and how well it works.
That’s so dumb - you used a Dyson back in the 90’s and stopped and you’re trying to compare it to the dyson today! Haven’t heard of a dumber thing. Do you realize how tech works? And how far technology has come today? Also, companies have learning curves too! Dyson really upped itself in these recent 5 years! You can’t compare it to what it must have been back then!
Since I need to buy a blow dryer soon this video is a godsend. Stuff like bow dryers or shavers have advanced so much you really need to learn what really is a novel feature and what was new 5-10 years ago. Awesome stuff. 👍
Bought TWO Supersonics. Both overheated, stopped working. Nordstrom's credited albeit were just days after warranty expired. Bought new one at Dyson NYC flagship. Stopped working literally at the two year mark when warranty nearly ran out. Dyson refuses to stand behind its products. They are aware given the thousands of complaints that the hair dryers have a limited lifespan and they malfunction with the same issues (overheating/not turning on). I bought in 2021 a European Dyson in Paris. I know it will be a matter of time it will stop working and I've only used it 20 times at best. Don't buy a hairdryer. It won't last. I was happier with the 75.00 turbo hair dryer that lasted 10 years. A $500 hair dryer should last an eternity and not fail at the two year mark or prior.
@@kimdang1787 Have you tried cleaning the filter? If it’s overheating, it’s a sign that it’s not getting enough airflow. If the overheating didn’t damage anything, it should work as normal after cleaning the filter.
Yeah came here to say the same. Can’t trust someone who has a code for a product and - surprise - says that it’s better then the other one. It could have been every other hair dryer… it would always be the ‚Laifen‘ who is better.
4:38 I like the Laifen hat having that sharp squeal that all the new Dyson stuff has. It doesn’t make it powder but that pitch specifically is real hard on my ears, the vacuum for the same thing
I’m happy with my Dyson! My hair looks great and it takes super quick. I’ve noticed a lot less breakage on my hair too. The price tag is outrageous, but for me it was worth it after blowing out more than $400 worth of hairdryers over the years. I guess only time will tell if it was a good investment or not.
I’m not a Dyson fab ANY more!! Gifted to me, May, 2020, thermostat broke, March, 2021; they sent a new machine and the SAME thing happened, December, 2022. Now, $400 of TRASH!!!! I’m going to try the Laifen and, hopefully, it will last longer!!
Hey Trav, I've recently gotten into your videos, and I gotta say as a chemist myself, I'm constantly surprised with how informed you are on the science side of hair. You seem to know how to read scientific literature well, and you understand the chemical side of hair and hair products too. I was just curious what your education is, and what kind of job do you do for a living?
The cool settings on the Dyson is like 5 degrees F warmer than the current temperature in your room But cools down in like 6 secs to your current temperature
I checked the website and unfortunately only the smooth nozzle is included with the blow dryer, all other accessories are extra. If all accessories were included I would buy this dryer as I use the diffuser more often.
Thank you! I’ve been doing some research finally after lusting over the Dyson for so long. Price point is well, on point. The Lasien is quieter or at the least the pitch is much more pleasant. I too use the lower settings on my lil cheapies from Target. So that also works for me. Anyway, thank you! Sold lol
@travwhitestyle I bought it a few months ago and I love it. It makes my hair feel rough right after but the cool shot takes care of that. I’m excited to see how it changes my hair health over time. Thank you again!
I've never tried the Laifen but I had tried the Dyson. I had spent a lot of time searching for a good alternative which doesn't cost +400€ (at least here), it's too expensive for a simple airdryer no matter how good it is! Were just paying twice for the brand name (same as happens with other big ones). So… I found the Create Ion pro studio air dryer, which is ALMOST the same: same structure, has magnetic accessories, ion technology, no blades (almost identical to dyson), speed and heat control (with cold air too) and… It also has heat control as dyson! I'm not sure if it's available now (I've bought two years ago) but for me, it does the same job as dyson at half the price. It was 130€ I believe. If you ever think on trying a Dyson dupe or switch to a new air dryer, take a look at it. Really, I'm in love with it. Soooo worth the money, my long long hair appreciate it.
Does your Create Ion pro studio air dryer still work without any issues? I´m a man, but looking for a good Hair Dryer too, so i went on the "Create-Store" found your modell (they are still selling it if it is not a scam, and cost to germany only incl. shipping about under 45 Euros... I´m excited and thank you a lot for this tip for only 15% of the price of the Dyson one...
@@doubledeep8165 Yes! It's been around two years since I bought it and it works like a charm. I even bought the soft diffuser (chinese copy for Dyson), needed to glue some magnets but it works. If you can get it, it's a really good option. I also paid high shipping on amazon (because it wasn't prime) but still, cheaper than the Dyson.
This feels intentionally misleading. The site, both Amazon and manufacturer, clearly show only one attachment. It’s even shown like that in this video. Yet, the video states they all come inside one box. There is no way that diffuser fits into the box when you account for the dryer and where the one accessory would fit along with the cord. Hard to make that mistake through filming and editing. There is a significant price difference if you did add those two missing accessories. This looks worse when you consider it’s a sponsored video.
It is a sponsored video. And the first link at the top is a coupon code where he gets a kickback if you buy the Laifen. Total conflict of interest in this "comparison."
CORRECTION: You do not need to hold down the button with the Dyson. There is a separate cool button, at least with the Dyson dryer I received. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Trav, we adore the comparison video! Laifen and Dyson possess distinctive features, and our aim is to offer more choices for individuals with comparable requirements. Our commitment to creating the ultimate hair dryer remains unwavering, and we will persist in our efforts to achieve this objective. 😀
@@travelwithdubsCongratulations for gatekeeping scientific findings. If it was up to you, the majority of us would still be living in caves except for a select elite. Luckily it isn't...
@@travelwithdubs making technology more affordable to the masses is not a bad thing. it's never good for monopolies to exist, especially ones that are super inaccessible to most people
Great review Trav! Do you still have the Dyson and would you by chance be willing to sell it? The Laifen looks great, but if you don't want to keep the Dyson I'd love to take it off your hands!
My Dyson hair dryer stopped working after 2.5 years (yes, I cleaned the filter). I took it into a local Dyson repair shop and they won't fix it because I removed the tag (that was an eyesore) with the serial number on it. So I'm out $600. They said they could sell me another one for a discount....sign. I'll never buy a Dyson again. I expect better service out of a premium brand. It's clearly a Dyson product. Not sure why the serial number is critical. Apple will work on any Apple product without a serial number. Not to mention the frustration of a $600 hair dryer failing shortly after the warranty period.
@@professorpick is this a real concern (the working conditions)? also intellectual property shouldn't mean that someone can't use your designs. As long as they are making a product of the same quality or better it's fine. In history patents have tended to be used to stop progress and increase self gain.
Of course there will be more frizz if there is more heat. You shoulda ran in on low if it was hotter than the other one to do the comparison in terms of frizz.
Between the two which one is more durable and reliable. I own a Dyson vacuum and I must say it's been amazing in both performance and reliability. How long are there warranties?
Can't comment on the warranty, but I've had my Dyson SuperSonic since it released in 2016 and I've never had a single issue with it. It still works as well today as it did brand new. In my opinion, it was money well spent. I have no experience with the Laifen, but based on price alone I'd be skeptical of its longevity compared to the Dyson. But until the Laifen has been out for at least 5(+) years, it's' purely conjecture. Can recommend the Dyson without any hesitation though.
Realllyyy wish this video wasn’t sponsored by the company of one of the products you’re comparing. Also, I feel like I’ve seen a bunch of creators talk about the Laifen, and they’re ALL sponsored. Gives me pause when all the “good” reviews are really just paid ads. I don’t see anyone talking about it that isn’t paid to do so.
For me personally,I can’t bring myself to pay $200.00 + for a Laifen, I can buy a elchim or babybliss made in Italy with a lifetime warranty and still have change left.
Thank you for the Review. Would love to hear how it compares to GHD. Also, just a feedback, you also have viewers from Europe and we use Celsius, so providing Celsius and Metric system in addition would be highly appreciated
I just litterally bought from Amazon an hair dryer for 50 bucks, same design with 1700watts, blows amazing. Why spending 4 to 8 times for the same thing? I don't know 😂
Why don’t you show the back of your hair with the first blow dryer? They’re still wet and not evenly dried. You can notice the hair sticking together in multiple areas. Plus, you’re using the most powerful setting on the first one and not the highest on the Dyson. That leaves you with frizzy hair after using the Dyson. Misleading video. It’s sad when you push a bad product to people who aren’t smart enough to see that you’re paid for this
My husband has long thick hair. His ponytail is as thick as a horse's tail! I'm very jealous haha He only air dries his hair. If he uses a blowdryer, it makes his hair so frizzy and huge. His hair air dries like a professional blow dry... makes no sense. Me on the other hand, I have fine, thin hair and my hair is screwed either way. Blow dry or air dry. 😭
If I order it through your amaozn link will it come with a UK plug bro ??I ordered it thru the website and got uk plug it cost 149 and free shipping than you trav
9:20 Fantastic, tho you can run the cold shot continuously on the dyson! , just circulate thru the heat seatings, go to the highest and as you go to the lowest you’ll see that the leds will turn off and the cold shot will keep going until you press the temperature button again!! (btw i find this review interesting tho i still like dyson more even if the laifen is a valid alternative if u don’t have that kind of budget for a hair care device)
well from a manufacturing point of view neither one of them is worth more than $39.99… And even at that they're making profits for the true manufacturing of the components there's nothing expensive to talk about… A plastic case $.50… A motor maybe one $1.29… A few wires a circuit board and some switches… Both of these companies are making gouging profits… I guess Dyson their theory of "there's a sucker born every second" is contagious. So if you don't mind giving your money away two companies that think you're a sucker go ahead they're going to love you for it
@@lysacid I was only stating their obvious 10,000% price hike is not reasonably fair or ethical… But your comment made you look like a real jerk… Why would you want to make yourself look so ugly?
Blatant copy paste product, surprised Dyson hasn’t hit them with a Cease and desist. I have no respect nor will I ever buy a product that is edging on knock off territory. When every little detail is copied, what did that company actually do? What R&D did they actually put into making it? We fail people for plagiarism, but reward products for being blatant rip offs.
This sounds like a personal problem… obviously if they were granted a patent on design and no one else could make or sell these, they wouldve taken legal action because its taking away from their sales. But… they didnt… also, why do you care?!
You can’t be serious? 😂😂😂 so every blow dryer is a dupe of every blow dryer on the market, by your standards 😂😂 every brush. Shampoo and conditioner? Makes 0 sense!! And by the way “seise and desist,” isn’t even the proper terminology. Products have different patents, they are NOT the same. Glad you have the $$ to afford something that’s basically the same. PS this isn’t the first blow dryer with this type of design 😂😂
DON'T buy the Laifen if you are a hairstylist. Power cord is way too short! Talk about an oversight. It is however very strong, therefore it is useless for people with fine, thin hair
