What Buyers Say
Dyson OnTrac 759557-01
The Dyson OnTrac headphones receive generally positive feedback for their exceptional comfort, impressive sound quality, and effective noise cancellation. Users highlight the comfortable fit, especially for those with glasses or larger heads, and the clear, bass-heavy sound. However, the high price, lack of multipoint Bluetooth, limited EQ customization, and the heavy weight are common criticisms. The automatic play/pause sensor can be finicky for users with small ears.

- Excellent sound quality with clear bass
- Effective noise cancellation
- Comfortable for large heads
- Good build quality
Cons
- High price point
- Heavy weight
- No multipoint Bluetooth support

Skullcandy Aviator S6AVW-T740
The Skullcandy Aviator 900 ANC receives mixed feedback. Many users praise its excellent sound quality after EQ adjustment, robust build, long battery life, and comfortable fit for average-sized heads.
