The Dyson OnTrac is a fashion statement for audiophiles
Seven colors for the cushions + seven options for the caps
From the pandemic all the way to around a year ago, Dyson experimented with a wearable purifier. Though the concept was novel, it was difficult to justify the wearable as something you’d willingly wear in public. Changing things up a bit, the company has now switched to a wearable that’s much easier to rock — the Dyson OnTrac.
Unlike the Zone, the Dyson OnTrac ditches the purifier and goes for a pure audio device. It’s just a pair of headphones. However, the unique feature of these headphones is how customizable they are.
The headphones come in four different launch colors: CNC Aluminum, CNC Copper, Ceramic Cinnabar, and CNC Black Nickel. However, you can also buy seven different colors for the cushions and seven additional options for the caps. Technically, there are over 2,000 available color combinations. And yes, they all look gorgeous.
It’s not just a fashion statement, either. Dyson claims that the headphones offer the best noise cancelling in its segment. It uses eight microphones to reduce noise. Plus, users can track external noise through the MyDyson app.
For sound quality, the OnTrac delivers a wide range from 6Hz to 21kHz of sound with its 40mm, 16Ω neodymium drivers. The housing is also tilted by 13 degrees to enable a more direct audio response.
Finally, the headphones promise up to 55 hours of battery life on a single charge. It’s an impressive feat that almost matches the top performer of the segment.

New Yorkers compete in Ted Lasso lookalike contest at Apple Fifth Avenue
Futbol is life!
Apple Fifth Avenue or Nelson Road? New Yorkers gathered at the iconic flagship store as it transformed into a slice of AFC Richmond for a Ted Lasso lookalike contest celebrating the return of the hit Apple TV+ series.
Dozens of fans arrived in Ted’s signature look, complete with mustaches, visors, blue sweaters, and khakis. Inside the store, the AFC Richmond takeover continued with themed photo opportunities and hidden Easter eggs for longtime fans to discover.
The celebration continued across Midtown and Central Park, where brand ambassadors spread kindness with “Believe” signs, complimentary coffee and tea, a tunnel of cheering Teds for runners, and the Goldfish Zone, where visitors symbolically let go of worries by dropping paper fish into a fishbowl.
The takeover marked the return of Ted Lasso, which premiered its fourth season on Apple TV+ on Aug. 5, which arrives more than three years after Season 3 concluded in 2023.
Jason Sudeikis returns as the relentlessly optimistic coach, this time leading AFC Richmond’s newly formed women’s team while reuniting with familiar faces.

GadgetSnaps: Westminster Abbey
A thousand years of history, unfolded with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra
Westminster Abbey isn’t just another stop on the London tourist trail.
It’s the stage for coronations, royal weddings, and burials that span nearly a thousand years, all still playing out under the same vaulted ceilings that have been standing since before most countries had names.
Once you get past the crowds and the audio guides, a quieter version of the abbey starts to show itself: worn stone steps, poets resting a few feet from kings, light that shifts across the nave like it’s in on the performance too.
While losing track of time in Poets’ Corner (yes, me, playing amateur historian for an afternoon), I unfolded the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and decided the abbey deserved more than a quick tourist snap.
All photos captured using the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.
