I thoug it was something to smell different odors to have full vr immersion and such. I'd add that I'd like to be able to taste a movie as much as smell it. Perhaps food could be subtitute to smell and we'd be able to taste things like it's suppose to be smelling.
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.
@@lajeandom my thoughts exactly. I have no doubt in my mind that the dyson car is just a showpiece so a real car manufacturer will ask to collaborate. then you get free product sales of the motors you already make without the hassle of selling and distributing a car
@@jyunoki3452 They could have hired Tom Hardy for a commercial. Adding modes like Transformer voices would be a neat. BTW my favorite voiceover so far in movies would be agent smith, its the real reason I watched those matrix movies. Also V for vendetta. These strange voice acts are what make big Hollywood movies memorable after all those years.
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.
Well as an Update. I did pitch the idea to the german Rep. of Dyson. I have received no reply as expected. If i do see a motorbiking helmet by Dyson i will be truly disappointed.
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.
Seems like an easy enough mod. You can see light through the ear cup, all you would have to do is block the vent hole, perforate the chamber between the fans and the earcups and remove the filters for extra airflow. Filter not needed cause ears don't breathe.
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”
The crazy part is that some of their prototypes look a whole lot less "dyson", but could easily find a market in the cosplay and "cyber punk" crowd. The sleek, Dyson-brand design aesthetic kinda ruins this concept by itself in an odd way.
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
@@TELEVISIBLE what a myopic view on the whole Research and Development process - although this product should probably have been killed before deciding to go to market
This is the most thorough review I have ever seen in RU-vid 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.
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.
Nah, Mike is fixated on it from medical virus prevention only. This product is really for environmental pollutants, like high aqi from dust, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. If anything this just highlights the bias of westerners, who can't consider a world outside their own and it's possible needs. Habibi, come to Dubai in the Summer and tell me you don't want something that cools your face while blocking sand dust.
I can guarantee you that they have MANY consultants, and they did multiple rounds of testing and focus groups. The problem is not whether or not companies receive the information it is whether or not they deign to accept it. And sadly the people responsible for green lighting ideas live in a bubble of wealth which no amount of information can penetrate. More than likely, this thing is just to get people talking about the brand to hopefully boost sales of their other products.
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.... 👏
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!
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.
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.
And doesn't even have to get to the part that there's no way the airflow on this keeps up with the rate you inhale, making you get a big chunk of the surrounding air with every breath, and all the air it's putting out when you exhale just gets pushed out and goes to waste
@@phatgringo2.0 exactly. plus isnt' he the guy partying on boats with girls during the lock down? No masks. So, I guess he is the dreaded anti-masker. Masks don't work well and they cause many many problems. They do NOT stop the spread of diseases like the Wuhan Virus. They cause delay in speech in kids where they shows signs of autism in normal kids.
As a digital marketer, they did a great job actually!! About 8 million people now just from this RU-vid 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!
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.
I rebuilt an old metal Kirby that takes bags, it is the best and most powerful vacuum I have used. Cordless and bagless vacuums stink, they need constant maintenance to keep filters clean. Yes there is no bag, but they don't tell you there is a filter (or 3) :)
@@TiaChante I did read it, I know what he said. I’m just wondering why he said “Hats off to him for putting in so much work into his vids” when he said his videos were a mini documentary. How about you read before criticizing someone.
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.
A niche product assumes there's a very specific group of people that need it. I think Dyson was just drunk at some party and bet he could do it. I mean the guy is really smart and this product doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe he's doing it for the same reason of Elon Musk with his flamethrower and other weird products.
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.
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”.
@@killemusen It’s what we call a “new product category” in the industry it can take ten years but by that time the product is refined and in use by many people
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 just 2 tiny fans and 2 layer of filters with some vents running aroung on your ears. I honestly dont see anything impressive. The idea though, is wild.
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
Yep, Dyson tried to copy an industrial bagless cyclone vacuum he once saw in a sawmill. It's impressive that be built 5127 prototypes in five years... In any case, I guess his patented idea is just to use cyclonic separation in a (domestic) appliance. And to provide at least one "industrial strength" feature (apart from the pink color), he added an "industrial strength" price (equivalent to 10,000€ in 2023 money,).
I would say, he is not a really good inventor if it really did take him 5,000 prototypes to make, for all intents and purposes, a pretty straightforward product. I think a lot of DYSON'S products remind me of BOSE. Lots of marketing hype and premium prices.
@@addium3151 Dubious. Technically a speaker has a moving membrane, but when thinking of engineering, no one really thinks of speakers as a moving part because they are exceptions in terms of the 2 relevant things. 1. power consumption, and 2. failure rate
@@addium3151 not at all in the same way. Starting up a fan uses a lot of energy, and I assume these are constantly having to push the motors to keep the fans going.
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?
Sit infront of a fan when it’s cold and walk outside when it’s cold and tell me the difference lmfao. Having cold air blown at you like this is different than just existing when it’s cold
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.
Dyson is watching your review right now saying: quick lets make this product even more ridiculous and expensive and add a silicon seal from the bridge of the nose to the bottom side of the chin. LOL.
Crying from happiness, you mean? This video is one of the best marketing ads for Dyson. Before talking about the headphones, he also mentioned how amazing Dyson is, and how their vacuum cleaners, and bladeless fans, and hair dryers are amazing. As the video said, this is a perfect "lossless leader".
The tech is interesting and is probably ahead of its time, but i think this would be a great idea if they are able to integrate it right into motorbike helmets. If the filtration could be built into the helmets, you would have a much larger target audience.
Integrating air filtration into motorbike helmets without creating a perfect seal would prove flawed. If the filtration system cannot prevent pollutants from entering the helmet it will not provide the intended benefits in terms of improving air quality for the rider.
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.
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.
Well i've got great news for you, there's a whole lot of travel CPAP machines available under 1100€ (price of this product) and guess waht, you just need to put headphones on and voilà le tour est joué.
I;ve got sleep apnoea & a cpap machine, the whole point of that is it provides high air pressure that keeps your throat open whilst asleep, while you're awake you don't have apnoeas so pointless wearing a cpap mask. Even if you wear these headphones whilst sleeping (which given their huge size and weight, seems an impossibility), there's nowhere near enough pressure nor sealing to keep your airways open. Given the rigouress testing any medical device has to undergo, I reckon Dyson himself would advise you not to even consider doing that.
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.
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.
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!
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!
I knew a couple of people who had them and they absolutely loved it and dreaded the day when it would have to be replaced. Expensive buggers, though....
They were hideous colours too, and Dyson swiftly killed them off. I don’t predict the headphones lasting very long either, and I’m surprised the lighting range has lasted as long as it has either…
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.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="214">3:34</a> - And don't forget the 'Dyson Blade', as seen in your local mall's washroom, for drying your hands!! 😂
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.
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!
you know the reviewer isn't professional when he doesn't even tries to inform himself about air filtration (positive pressure etc.) or tries the most obvious use like for pollen allergies. Even the doctor (?) doesn't get it right.. you need no seal, if you already push clean air inside the mask.
@@ismaelyu5 I'm sure none of them, including you, have tested the product. I presume you just came from JRE's video on it, since you mentioned positive pressure. He stated in the video that it was a *light* breeze, which is fair, there would definitely be positive pressure, but what happens when you inhale sharply? I'd assume there would be a negative pressure differential that would most likely exceed it. Idk man, product is wild, and there are a lot of factors that could totally skew this any way you theorize about it
@@AshrZ Your absolutely right on all points. JRE did an analysis and breakdown of the build but no test. Marq did more of a fast "is this thing for me" test. I'm missing a test with a person who actually needs it. In the end, the product is more of a "is it possible" then a "this is the best solution" engineering study.
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.
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.
If I were in Beijing this would be great, but yes, would need to be lighter (herniated C5 & C6 joints in my neck) and need to cover nose & mouth to be effective
If this product is indicative of the companies future, then I predict your future kids won't know anything about the company as it won't be in existence.
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.
I also think it's funny because you're like, "it's nice to be able to just fast forward in Spotify through parts of a podcast, I've never seen that before," and I'm thinking you've got be like, ten-ish years younger than me, because I remember when MP3 players were first getting big and plenty of headphones came with volume and play controls just built into the cord. Hell I'm pretty sure my gaming headset has pause and play controls built into the ear cover along with the volume and mic mute buttons.
Dials and buttons have not disappeared for the novelty of touch sensors. Touch is just much cheaper, that's why hardware buttons and dials are probably gone for good, except for some premium devices maybe
@@RamadaArtist He was more surprised about the fast forwarding, the stopping and playing music has been out forever, which is something he's not gushing about, it's just the FF mode :)
@@eatyourvegetables1449 yeah maybe I'm conflating fast-forward with just track select. I can see fast-forward being really useful for podcasts like he said, but maybe not actually a feature on CD-rom mp3 players, like I'm thinking.
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.
Thank you for this video! I have severe housebound OCD and thought about this product rather than going out wearing a mask. This was the best review I've ever seen of literally any product. Won't spend the money!!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="649">10:49</a> “the battery life goes from 50 hours to two hours” that is without a doubt one of the funniest lines on this channel
