Dyson Supersonic review: Bladeless hair dryer

Published

August 15, 2017

Isa Rodriguez

When there’s talk of tech innovation, we don’t usually think of hair dryers. Dyson might just change that.

The Dyson Supersonic is today’s top-of-the-line luxury blow dryer. I say that because it costs more than any normal hair dryer would — much more. Just what would justify a steep price tag?

The Supersonic is a sleek-looking device

And, though “sleek” is not usually a word associated with hair dryers, the Supersonic manages to pull it off. It’s smaller and lighter than its counterparts and the pretty pink detail is a touch that brings joy to this pink-lover’s heart.

It comes with a non-slip mat and three attachments for your different styling needs: the smoothing nozzle, for same-time smoothing and drying; styling concentrator, for precise styling; and diffuser, for wonderful frizz-free curls.

The attachments are magnetic

They stick on the hair dryer so easily, and it’s pretty stable, too! They stay on throughout my blow drying process and have never accidentally fallen off during use — a usual concern with things attached magnetically.

It’s bladeless!

That means there’s nothing your hair will accidentally get caught in — a struggle all of us with long hair know and understand all too well.

Redesigned for balance

The motor, usually found on the top part of hair dryers, is moved to the bottom of the handle. This may not seem like a big thing, but it makes a world of difference when you actually use the dryer.

Because of this change, the Supersonic doesn’t feel as heavy. Unlike hair dryers of old that can be such a great pain to use because of weight and size, the Dyson is easier to handle and hair drying becomes less of a chore.

There are high-tech settings

There are three speed settings and four precise temperature settings on the Supersonic; air temperature is also measured 20 times each second to make sure this is maintained. True to its word, I never felt this dryer get too hot during use.

Is this your GadgetMatch?

All the above changes, when put together, result in a huge improvement to the unchanging design of the old hair dryer. With the Supersonic, the overall experience definitely becomes a better one — which is something that’s long overdue.

If you had the money to buy the Supersonic, why not! This wonderful innovation, a product of years of research and development, doesn’t come cheap: PhP 21,500 in the Philippines or US$ 400 in the US. Definitely not an amount most people are willing to shell out for vanity.

But, make no mistake: To the right person — actresses, hairstylists, Rapunzel — it can be a very good investment. And that particular person will totally have rocking hair.

GameSir has a special G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition

Inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume

GameSir has officially launched a special edition G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition controller.

This high-performance multi-platform controller works with Xbox, PC, and Android, and features a striking new design that ties in with 505 Games’ latest title.

The controller is now available on the GameSir website for US$ 99.99 / £ 109.99 / PhP 5,900. It will be available on Amazon as well by October.

The G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition is inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume.

It has a distinct blue green appearance, with both sides draped in golden dragon scales that have been enhanced with layered UV resin textures.

The smart charging station features the Soulslike title’s logo, while the A, Y, X, and B buttons also have the game’s font.

Beyond aesthetics, the controller retains key features from the original G7 Pro. It features tri-mode connectivity so users can connect via 2.4GHz wireless, wired, or Bluetooth. It also supports one-press wake-up for Xbox consoles.

At the core of the controller’s precision is GameSir Mag-Res TMR stick technology. This combines the low power consumption of traditional potentiometers and the longevity and stability of Hall Effect sticks.

The result is faster response times, as well as consistent in-game control. This is further supported by a 1000Hz polling rate when connected to PC or 2.4GHz.

In addition, the G7 Pro introduces four customizable macro buttons: two mini bumpers and two lockable back buttons. This gives gamers a flexible configuration. A built-in gyroscope (for PC only) also enables intuitive motion input mapping.

Furthermore, the optical micro switch ABXY buttons and mechanical micro D-pad ensure crisp, esports-level feedback. The four independent rumble motors (one in each grip and trigger) deliver immersive, localized haptic feedback.
