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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
I suppose the Malaysia and China customer base would have a need for this product. Id rather wear this thing than breath their air, regardless of possible medical side effects.
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.
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.
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
Side note: as a cleaner, stick vacuums are the worst. I've cleaned houses where the owners excitedly told me they'd "upgraded" to a stick vacuum and OH GOD I could only smile while screaming internally. Sure, they're very handy to quickly suck up crumbs, and they're easier to carry up and down stairs, but when you got to vacuum a whole house your wrist is going to hate you after the first half hour. And vacuuming under furniture is no fun because unlike a hose vacuum that you can easily shove under there with one hand, stick vacuums are heavier and you have to bend/squat down, all while keeping your hand on the button otherwise it turns off. Not to mention battery life is a pain and oftentimes the damn thing died on me halfway through the 2nd floor and I had to resort back to broom and pan :(
I was thinking about getting a stick vacuum but this is a good point, thank you for keeping me from that purchase lolol. What kind of vacuum do you recommend?
@@bookaddict209 Get one with a filter or a canister, never one with a bag. Bags are disposable, get clogged and need to be replaced. Filters? You just wash them and dry them in the sun. Canister ones suck up liquids too. Don't go for a generic brand, but don't overpay
@@bookaddict209 To add to gabotron94 with a brand recommendation: I got the Shark Pet Vacuum (don't know the *exact* model) four or five years ago. I had (at the time) all carpets in a 2400 sq ft home (minus kitchen and 2 bathrooms). I haven't had to purchase a new one and it is exactly what she/he(?) is talking about - a canister with filters. Never had to replace the filters, just wash them out. I have 3 dogs (4 at the time; one was a foster that found a forever home), 7 cats, several rats and have had more than a score of baby chicks in a brooder (those create hella dust) at different times. 100% worth the $170ish dollars I paid at the time. I was also a maid for two years in SoFla and flat out refused to use customer Dyson stick vacuums or knock-offs for the EXACT reasons OP stated.
Personally I can see your points, however I dont think they apply to everyone. For example we have had our cordless vacuum cleaner for close to 3 years now. I agree, it was tiring on our shoulders at first (wrists not so much) , but After a little while you truly get used to it. My shoulder does not hurt any more, even when using it for a prolonged period. I guess it highly depends on what vacuum you buy, I am sure some are more heavy than others. I also cant confirm your issues with vacuuming underneath furniture. Back when I used my corded vacuum I still had to bend down to clean underneath furniture. I dont find using my cordless vacuum any more tiring. And whether the battery lasts for an entire vacuum of the house highly depends on the size of your home, the vacuum you have. Our vacuum is now three years old and while the battery life sure has suffered and gotten shorter, we can still manage to vacuum our entire place on one charge (200 sq. m.). We have a xioami vacuum btw. Our specific vacuum also has a Button to keep the vacuum running so you dont have to continuously press the button.
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.
@@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.
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.
That ending was amazing and I'm glad you saved it until right at the end. It suddenly put all of your talk about how awesome Dyson is as a company and how good their vacuums are (all very valid things to say) into an entirely different light. It started out as "you need to know who these people are" and ended with "this was just a vacuum advertisement."
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.
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.
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!
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.
From the look of the filter, it's for physical filtration only (e.g. dust). To remove chemical vapors (gas, "porta-potty", etc.), you need different materials (usually activated carbon). Dyson tried to make a PAPR which doesn't need a seal but at least they admit it's not a medical grade. I knew this product was a joke the first ad I saw. Glad you called them out on this one!
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.
This was a very fun video to watch. Also I really appreciate you called an expert to explain the product from medical point of view. Great video as always.
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…
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.
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.
Honestly Marques this is the most complete review you have ever done or damn near it. From start to finish every thing was well said and the writing for theses headphones was excellent. You covered all of the tech as normal but when it came to reviewing the health benefits for a pair of headphones you covered what you could explain and then you brought your friend that specializes in the medical field to further analyze and breakdown that criteria for the potential customers while being honest,unbiased with personality. I love it 🙌
@@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.
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.
my confusion is why didn't they just make a motorcycle helmet which cools the driver with a fan, has decent quality headphones and somewhat filters the breathing air? That way the pricepoint for the materials makes more sense and there's an actual target audience. Also that would help with the weight issue as a helmet will already be heavy. AND it could actually have a seal.
At this point, why not just replicate Ironman's helmet? 😂 - you have AI - screen you could view/control - air filtration/mask - oxygen supply/converter and etc
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.
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".
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.
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 saw someone wearing those headphones, I would chuckle. On top of that, if they told me what they were, I would laugh. On TOP of that, if they told me it was $1000 dollars, I would roll on the floor laughing my butt off. Well played Dyson.
Slaves had to cover their mouths with masks in times past. I'm sure the people at the WEF who said, "You'll own nothing and be happy" wouldn't dare try to bring slavery back in an evolved form.
Dude, no you wouldn’t lol. I don’t think ppl are buying this to be practical or anything else besides gimmick & saving it bc it will be worth something in the future just because it’s unique tech by a reputable company. It’s a cool piece of hardware/art & it looks very anime inspired which is also cool. Just because YOU don’t understand something doesn’t make it wrong. You sound like ur fun to be around at parties.
I love the detail that has went into this video, even aside from the usual great production quality. I love that a professional was there to explain the science/medical part. You deserve a lot of respect for this review. Often people claim high-view TH-cam channels are ONLY used to advertise products and not actually review them, it is reviews like this that put those questions to rest. This does not apply to everyone, nor does it apply to every review, nor does it apply to every channel, nor every video on a channel. Another good lesson, do not generalise.
Did you enjoy how he brought on a Dr to criticize the product for claims it didn't make i.e. about protection from the coof, and when pressed on how it helps protect against pollution and pollen his brain melted and changed the subject to ANC resulting in deaths XD You enjoy that buddy?
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.
I was walking past a dyson shop, and stopped to see a worker trying to sell this product to a customer with hayfever, And was saying how much it would help with the heyfever, filtering out the pollen and making life with hayfever easier. I wonder how true this is.
I dont know though, because if it purifies 90% of the air, sure its not up to dr. Mikes disease control standard, but even that 90% reduction could provide alot more comfort to someone being uncomfortable from the pollen.......but i dont even have hayfever, im talking out of my butt
@@gympatron2856 It's blowing that filtered air at your nose and mouth, but there's no seal so when you breathe in you'll be breathing a mixture of filtered and unfiltered air. It would probably help a bit, but not as much as you'd want if you had bad hayfever. Wearing an N95 mask would be much more effective and avoid the problems of dry mucous membranes that Mike described. Wearing a simple cloth mask might be similarly effective and avoid the problems of dry mucous membranes. The headphones are also very expensive, and you can get boxes of N95 masks for less than £1 a mask. I think the only use for something like this would be if there was a way plug the airflow from the headphones into an n95 mask. That might improve comfort for people who feel claustrophobic wearing normal masks or find the very small increase in breathing effort uncomfortable.
Fun fact: I have an email reply from Dyson when I suggested adding a dust filter to their fans shortly after their first release, they said they are not into air filters. Oh how times have changed.
Ergonomic portable electromechanical respirators have been on the market for 10 years now. I have a ClanSpace HALO for work and it does everything this thing was supposed to do, uses HEPA filters and is medical grade. It also costs upwards to 2k tho. Dyson merely plagiarized them, while removing the most important features to bring down the price.
I think the active filtering idea is good but they should have gone with a dedicated mask instead of mixing it with headphones. Something that actually quells bad smells with a proper seal would be neat.
@jordanrodrigues1279 tells of that "expert" Marques has brought, right? The one telling us that blowing purified air in your face is something unheard of, and not some industry best practice.
bro keep at it. You're a breath of fresh air in this world of products which consumers cannot understand whether it will help them or destroy them. This is a perfect example of a product review. Honestly, well done!
I do hope that one good thing comes out of this - other headphone manufacturers should implement the joystick for control and the live readout of noise.
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.
It seems like the original idea was just to make the personal air filtration system, but the headphones were a (somewhat) logical addition to make it dual use so that someone may consider justifying its use. Most people won't wear just an air filtration system, but maybe they'd use headphones that also had the benefit of including one. For the record, no one is going to buy this, but its an interesting innovation, I suppose.
"Most people won't wear just an air filtration system" I think they would in places like china. I could actually see it being popular there. but not tagged onto headphones. It's always hard to combine two completely different ideas into one, because inevitably one or both will be lacking for all users. E.g. a microwave that also does the laundry - maybe i love the microwave part but hate the laundry, it would be hard to get both pieces to adequately satisfy most customers. honestly it's pretty surprising they did this.
I think the great design skipped the headphones, they look cheap and tacky, not a $1000 pair of headphones, like something off of Temu. I’m amazed they made it to market. I can see people in Asia liking them as they wore face masks habitually a long time before the rest of the world…
Well, that's the first time I've been stun-locked by a tech video. I never thought that a comment I made would be featured in a video of yours. It's such a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but it's still very appreciated nonetheless. Thank you for all that you guys do, and thank you for yet another highly informative and very enjoyable video. ♥
Yep. Dyson is getting major free ads for their vacuums and fans through tech reviews like this. It's kinda brilliant. And this vid is super catchy so many will see.
@@shadesmarerik4112 They make money from vacuums and this wasn't a bad review for Dyson vacuums and now more millions of people have heard and seen the brand name one more time. Let me explain the simplest thing, most brands have the same quality in the market they are competing in, but people subconsciously always trust the name they know. Big Corporations know how to hack us, it's been a while.
@@umairhassan22O5 simple seems to be ur thing... looks like simple is ur thinking, too. There are several failures in this device and u have to be of IQ in the single digit area to judge this as positive for the product or for the company. Millions of people now have seen the failures they produce and sell completely insanely overpriced and think twice before they touch anything from this company now. Not every ad is advantageous, one mistake and it will break the companies neck, because image is all they have. U talking of "subconsciously" and "always trust" and "the name they know", which doesnt say anything about other people, its a projection by u, and it shows how uncritical ur thought patterns are. The belief that companies can "hack" people just shows what a simpleton self-assessment u project onto others. Behind advertisement of companies are humans, and there is no 100% sure way of one human to convince another. This may work on the babbling clowns that u surround urself with, but rest assured: theres always someone who learned to think skeptically, someone who doesnt fall for every conspiracy myth, like the suggestion that companies control everyones lives. But this whole thing was not about companies "hacking" us, its about a video that is clearly negative reputation for the company and the guys in this video were joking ironically when they said, that this is somehow planned by the corp. If u dont even recognize irony, u are kinda doomed in this world, and i pity u. Get better soon!

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

Because in one video they got MKBHD to endorse their Vacuum, their hair dryer, and their fan.

I inherited a Dyson Vacuum from my daughters late mother in law and I'm so impressed with it, the hype is real.
right, they make these weird products to attract influencers, websites and youtubers to talk about it so free marketing
@@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
Side note: as a cleaner, stick vacuums are the worst. I've cleaned houses where the owners excitedly told me they'd "upgraded" to a stick vacuum and OH GOD I could only smile while screaming internally. Sure, they're very handy to quickly suck up crumbs, and they're easier to carry up and down stairs, but when you got to vacuum a whole house your wrist is going to hate you after the first half hour. And vacuuming under furniture is no fun because unlike a hose vacuum that you can easily shove under there with one hand, stick vacuums are heavier and you have to bend/squat down, all while keeping your hand on the button otherwise it turns off. Not to mention battery life is a pain and oftentimes the damn thing died on me halfway through the 2nd floor and I had to resort back to broom and pan :(
I was thinking about getting a stick vacuum but this is a good point, thank you for keeping me from that purchase lolol. What kind of vacuum do you recommend?
@@bookaddict209 Get one with a filter or a canister, never one with a bag. Bags are disposable, get clogged and need to be replaced. Filters? You just wash them and dry them in the sun. Canister ones suck up liquids too. Don't go for a generic brand, but don't overpay
@@bookaddict209 To add to gabotron94 with a brand recommendation: I got the Shark Pet Vacuum (don't know the *exact* model) four or five years ago. I had (at the time) all carpets in a 2400 sq ft home (minus kitchen and 2 bathrooms). I haven't had to purchase a new one and it is exactly what she/he(?) is talking about - a canister with filters. Never had to replace the filters, just wash them out. I have 3 dogs (4 at the time; one was a foster that found a forever home), 7 cats, several rats and have had more than a score of baby chicks in a brooder (those create hella dust) at different times. 100% worth the $170ish dollars I paid at the time. I was also a maid for two years in SoFla and flat out refused to use customer Dyson stick vacuums or knock-offs for the EXACT reasons OP stated.
Personally I can see your points, however I dont think they apply to everyone. For example we have had our cordless vacuum cleaner for close to 3 years now. I agree, it was tiring on our shoulders at first (wrists not so much) , but After a little while you truly get used to it. My shoulder does not hurt any more, even when using it for a prolonged period. I guess it highly depends on what vacuum you buy, I am sure some are more heavy than others. I also cant confirm your issues with vacuuming underneath furniture. Back when I used my corded vacuum I still had to bend down to clean underneath furniture. I dont find using my cordless vacuum any more tiring. And whether the battery lasts for an entire vacuum of the house highly depends on the size of your home, the vacuum you have. Our vacuum is now three years old and while the battery life sure has suffered and gotten shorter, we can still manage to vacuum our entire place on one charge (200 sq. m.).
We have a xioami vacuum btw. Our specific vacuum also has a Button to keep the vacuum running so you dont have to continuously press the button.
Shopvacs are the cheat code. Cheap, durable, no bags, and are strong enough to suck up water no problem.
I feel a whole series of medical tech being reviewed by Marques and Mike debunking them. I would love that!

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.

It's because Dyson is a billion dollar company so they have enough funds to try niche things

@@sabersz Ya Dyson does some odd things at times
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.

@@sharedknowledge6640 this was a mockup
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.

Oh my god, I started laughing when u snapped on that mouthpiece.
From the look of the filter, it's for physical filtration only (e.g. dust). To remove chemical vapors (gas, "porta-potty", etc.), you need different materials (usually activated carbon). Dyson tried to make a PAPR which doesn't need a seal but at least they admit it's not a medical grade. I knew this product was a joke the first ad I saw. Glad you called them out on this one!
It's not a joke though, its an actual product that got actually greenlit and can actually be purchased.
@@CrypticCobra The joke is the people who buy it.

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 hope the washig machine had at least a nice carrying bag and extra two colored coiled cables and filtered the air while washing.
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....

@@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.

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 concept behind this is so dystopian. people overuse the word so much now, but just listen to 8:49
my confusion is why didn't they just make a motorcycle helmet which cools the driver with a fan, has decent quality headphones and somewhat filters the breathing air? That way the pricepoint for the materials makes more sense and there's an actual target audience. Also that would help with the weight issue as a helmet will already be heavy. AND it could actually have a seal.
because putting on headphone while riding a motorbike is extremely dangerous.

@@burrybondz225 There is no way you think people arent already doing this. XD
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.

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.
It would be amazing - even better if they could get rid of the Darth Vader sounds a bit 😂
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.
@@Elleffethe Darth Vader sounds are probably going to be a selling point for some buyers😂
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.
ok
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.

@@gympatron2856 It's blowing that filtered air at your nose and mouth, but there's no seal so when you breathe in you'll be breathing a mixture of filtered and unfiltered air. It would probably help a bit, but not as much as you'd want if you had bad hayfever. Wearing an N95 mask would be much more effective and avoid the problems of dry mucous membranes that Mike described. Wearing a simple cloth mask might be similarly effective and avoid the problems of dry mucous membranes.
The headphones are also very expensive, and you can get boxes of N95 masks for less than £1 a mask.
I think the only use for something like this would be if there was a way plug the airflow from the headphones into an n95 mask. That might improve comfort for people who feel claustrophobic wearing normal masks or find the very small increase in breathing effort uncomfortable.
Fun fact: I have an email reply from Dyson when I suggested adding a dust filter to their fans shortly after their first release, they said they are not into air filters. Oh how times have changed.
Can u sue... they always steal ideas
ok
@@IamEmmanuelAddo600 no. he didn’t invent and patent filters
Ergonomic portable electromechanical respirators have been on the market for 10 years now. I have a ClanSpace HALO for work and it does everything this thing was supposed to do, uses HEPA filters and is medical grade. It also costs upwards to 2k tho. Dyson merely plagiarized them, while removing the most important features to bring down the price.
Love to see Dr.Mike appear in the tech world out of nowhere. 💪
random but a collab I 100% support
He's sooooo enchanting
the AP he's rocking looks lovely too
Not.
@@sivab4536 literally first thing i noticed haha. Wanna see Mike do a podcast with some of the watch TH-camrs. 👀
This was surprisingly entertaining for such an odd product :D Thank you for taking it upon yourself to get one and inform us.
ok
its like a chastity belt, but for your face.
If only they'd added even more material to it. Perhaps a few...panels? 😆
Thank you so much for bringing that doctor onto the video. The way he hammered it home is excellent. Absolute genius.

@@bogradthat's what i'm saying
@bograd a royal oak chronograph, absolute beast
I think the active filtering idea is good but they should have gone with a dedicated mask instead of mixing it with headphones. Something that actually quells bad smells with a proper seal would be neat.
And if they went for a cyberpunk look it probably would have sold well too
Ah, the dystopian (dys-on? 🤨) future is nearing upon us. I love it
the razer mask was almost like that... the idea for it was at least better than whatever dyson tried to do
@jordanrodrigues1279 tells of that "expert" Marques has brought, right? The one telling us that blowing purified air in your face is something unheard of, and not some industry best practice.
Maybe a black helmet sealed off at the neck with a voice generator?
bro keep at it. You're a breath of fresh air in this world of products which consumers cannot understand whether it will help them or destroy them. This is a perfect example of a product review. Honestly, well done!
A…breath of…*bites lip* fresh air?!?
I hope that pun was intentional
@@theonlysamman3889 haha, I'm glad we're not there yet where puns must be explained.
This review is entirely flawed regardless what you think of the product.
@@sedwarg …cool?
Great Colab. Thank you for such a clear and honest review. That is why the sleep apnoe masks have a humidifier attached to protect the mucus areas.
The Marques shots "in the field" were absolutely hilarious. And the Dr. Mike insight was really fascinating. Great review!
12:35 "People who are anti-maskers"- We didnt forget about the yacht party dude
can you blame him, that yacht was loaded :D
Didn't Canadians allow their prime minister to temporarily freeze the financial assets of protestors? I didn't forget about that.
either did I @@RHt09
I do hope that one good thing comes out of this - other headphone manufacturers should implement the joystick for control and the live readout of noise.
Don't you know the live readout already because toure experiencing it lol
The Marshall Major IV has a joystick. Got it a couple weeks ago and so far, I’m super happy with it! Also way cheaper than the Dyson one lol
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.
It seems like the original idea was just to make the personal air filtration system, but the headphones were a (somewhat) logical addition to make it dual use so that someone may consider justifying its use. Most people won't wear just an air filtration system, but maybe they'd use headphones that also had the benefit of including one. For the record, no one is going to buy this, but its an interesting innovation, I suppose.
The execution is lacking. Its like they couldnt fully commit to either idea so both are subpar
"Most people won't wear just an air filtration system" I think they would in places like china. I could actually see it being popular there. but not tagged onto headphones. It's always hard to combine two completely different ideas into one, because inevitably one or both will be lacking for all users. E.g. a microwave that also does the laundry - maybe i love the microwave part but hate the laundry, it would be hard to get both pieces to adequately satisfy most customers. honestly it's pretty surprising they did this.
Mine should be coming in tomorrow im hella hyped
It’s just overpriced. These headphones should be around $500 max.
I wasn't expecting a Dr. Mike collab and am happy to see it.
Very cool to have a science lesson in the video!
Dyson are just the Apple of motors & filtration. Great engineering, great design and people that are prepared to pay through the nose for it.
I think the great design skipped the headphones, they look cheap and tacky, not a $1000 pair of headphones, like something off of Temu. I’m amazed they made it to market. I can see people in Asia liking them as they wore face masks habitually a long time before the rest of the world…
I have one of those $500 Dysons. The wheels and parts are falling apart, but it sure does suck HARD.
Well, that's the first time I've been stun-locked by a tech video. I never thought that a comment I made would be featured in a video of yours. It's such a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but it's still very appreciated nonetheless.
Thank you for all that you guys do, and thank you for yet another highly informative and very enjoyable video. ♥
Give time code! Also, congrats 😅😂
@@aleks-33 1:17, the second comment to appear.
Yep. Dyson is getting major free ads for their vacuums and fans through tech reviews like this. It's kinda brilliant. And this vid is super catchy so many will see.
But bad rep isnt what a company really want as ad.
@@shadesmarerik4112 it isnt bad, he spent 5 minute’s talking about how good their other products are lol
@@shadesmarerik4112 They make money from vacuums and this wasn't a bad review for Dyson vacuums and now more millions of people have heard and seen the brand name one more time. Let me explain the simplest thing, most brands have the same quality in the market they are competing in, but people subconsciously always trust the name they know. Big Corporations know how to hack us, it's been a while.
@@umairhassan22O5 simple seems to be ur thing... looks like simple is ur thinking, too. There are several failures in this device and u have to be of IQ in the single digit area to judge this as positive for the product or for the company. Millions of people now have seen the failures they produce and sell completely insanely overpriced and think twice before they touch anything from this company now. Not every ad is advantageous, one mistake and it will break the companies neck, because image is all they have. U talking of "subconsciously" and "always trust" and "the name they know", which doesnt say anything about other people, its a projection by u, and it shows how uncritical ur thought patterns are. The belief that companies can "hack" people just shows what a simpleton self-assessment u project onto others. Behind advertisement of companies are humans, and there is no 100% sure way of one human to convince another. This may work on the babbling clowns that u surround urself with, but rest assured: theres always someone who learned to think skeptically, someone who doesnt fall for every conspiracy myth, like the suggestion that companies control everyones lives. But this whole thing was not about companies "hacking" us, its about a video that is clearly negative reputation for the company and the guys in this video were joking ironically when they said, that this is somehow planned by the corp. If u dont even recognize irony, u are kinda doomed in this world, and i pity u. Get better soon!
Good point
Nailed it at the end. Said Dyson 1000 times and gave their vacuums a glowing review.
you’re hands down my favorite product reviewer ever. you buy the products so you’re not beholden. you’re smart, focused, and engaging to watch. you’re fair and detailed even with absurd stuff like this. best of all, i learn things (in general, not just about the items). i hope you never stop doing these. ❤️
Subjective review with many flaws.
Fair?
He started negative before opening the box and he's a super fanboy for airpods lol.
@@InitialFailuredawg… this is literally one of the worst products of all time. i think his comments are justified
Serious glaze
Professionals never make a reviews about products they don't like, ...this tells something about you and him doesn't it?
