I love the Dyson OnTrac's sense of fun — but now I like their lowest Prime Day price even more
Headphones should be fun. When most of the world makes boring black or white options that don't do anything different, the Dyson OnTrac put the 'fun' back in, err, 'headfuns' with a range of customization options. Thanks to the Prime Day sales they've become a whole lot cheaper as well. The Dyson OnTrac are down to $299 at Amazon thanks to a massive $200 discount. That's the biggest discount we've ever seen, and there are even reductions on the customizable bits. The Dyson OnTrac aren't the brand's first headphones, but they bring some extras to the table that make them a compelling option. They sound pretty good, and the ANC is up there with the very best. They're heavy, but comfortable, and the 55 hours of battery is excellent. It's the customizable ear cushions and outer plates that are the most fun, though. This $200 discount brings them down to their lowest price ever. The Dyson OnTrac bring some super fun customization options to the table. You can replace the outer panels for other options made out of metal or plastic, which come in different colors and finishes. It can completely change how the headphones look, which is a fun extra. You can also swap out the ear cushions, which is both a great way to customize the headphones and also make them last longer. After all, the earcups are often the first things to go. The headphones themselves are good too. I find them pretty comfortable, even though they are slightly heavier than the competition. Sound is good too, if a little restricted in sound stage, and the 55 hours of battery life beats out both Sony and Bose. They are a more divisive pair of headphones, that's for sure, but I love mine. With a deal like this, it's cheaper than ever to get a pair on your head. The plates and other customization options are also reduced, so you can build your own OnTrac for less. There are plenty more deals to be had this Prime Day — make sure you check out our Prime Day live blog to make sure you're staying on top of all the latest sales and offers.

Whether you're at work or at home, in the boardroom or at the bar, if you look good but don't have the substance, you'll only get so far. Similarly, you might be the most charismatic and well-read person in the room, but a lack of style will still inhibit your ability to make an impact. It's only by finding a balance within this duality that you can truly excel. The same logic applies to products, and for proof of this, you need look no further than Dyson and its new OnTrac headphone design. To create the perfect pair of premium headphones, a brand needs to nail two key elements. The first is substance (high-end sound quality, maximum comfort, and cutting-edge technology), while the second is style (a design that looks the business anywhere and everywhere). From your relaxing Saturday morning stroll for coffee to drowning out office noise as you prepare a crucial mid-week presentation, nothing delivers on both of these fronts quite like Dyson's OnTrac offering. These headphones integrate seamlessly into your life and your ever-evolving aesthetic as you transition from workwear to streetwear and back again, all while delivering incredible sound, noise cancellation, and aesthetic customisation — explore the impeccable variety of colourways here. With that, let's explore what makes these headphones such a clear winner in a field that is becoming increasingly crowded with stale designs and uninspired performance. OnTrac Headphones | Image: Dyson Productivity Prioritised Picture this: you're feeling a little snowed under at work, so you head into the office early to tick some crucial items off your to-do list. As the rest of the team starts to trickle in, talking about the night before and making small talk while waiting for the coffee machine to rouse from its slumber, you barely notice. Instead, you're in the zone and able to remain so thanks to the best-in-class active noise cancelling (ANC) of Dyson's OnTrac headphones. Capable of cancelling up to 40dB of unwanted noise, Dyson's custom ANC algorithm uses eight microphones and samples external sound 384,000 times a second, ensuring none of your colleagues interrupts your productivity. Not only do these headphones help you get the job done, they empower you to look the part while doing so. Thanks to the customisable nature of the OnTrac design, you can swap out ear cushions and outer caps as needed, ensuring your headphones perfectly complement your office environment and attire. For example, you might choose cushions with a more understated finish—Prussian Blue, Dark Iron, or Khaki—and pair them with a Coarse Titanium (i.e. an elegant matte silver-esque) outer cap during the week, and then select something a little bolder once the weekend rolls around. Speaking of which… Raye with OnTrac Headphones | Image: Dyson Express Yourself With the work week ending, it's time to shrug off the expectations of what's considered office-appropriate and embrace something more wholly you. Heading out to your local cafe, you throw on your most comfortable trainers and reach for your pair of Dyson OnTrac headphones. But before you leave, it's time to swap out their darker cushions and outer cap for something a little more reflective of your mood. Feeling bold, you select the CNC Copper outer cap and the chrome yellow ear cushions before feeling the superior comfort and refined ergonomics of the headphones as you place them on your ears. Walking out the door, you activate the headphones and start your weekend playlist, enveloping you in an extraordinary soundscape. This comes courtesy of the OnTrac's two 40mm, 16-ohm neodynium speaker drivers with a frequency response of 6Hz to 21kHz. As the speakers roar to life, revealing new depth, detail, power, and punch within your favourite tracks, it's clear Dyson's OnTrac headphones help you better express and celebrate yourself, not only through the styles on offer courtesy of their customisable design, but via more affecting and immersive musical experiences too. OnTrac Headphones | Image: Dyson Substance and Style By combining heightened examples of both substance and style, Dyson has crafted a pair of phenomenal-sounding, ANC-packing headphones that will look sleek and refined on the commute and in the office, while allowing you to go bold when the mood strikes. It's entirely up to you. Matching your mood and mindset as you shift from day to night, weekday to weekend, office to outdoors, and everything in between, Dyson's OnTrac headphones are the ultimate audio companion regardless of the where and when.

From Strategy to Delivery: Nitin's Blueprint for Smarter Logistics
Nitin Natesh Kumar's story bridges the worlds between engineering and strategy, startups and enterprises, operational complexity, and clear business outcomes. Over the last several years, the gap between enterprise giants and fast-scaling e-commerce companies has steadily widened. However, Nitin is working to combat this by designing smarter, tech-driven fulfillment networks that allow smaller players to compete on speed, cost, and scale. Nitin has gained a unique blend of experience across different scales, from spearheading Walmart's nationwide next-day delivery rollout to assisting mid-sized companies like OnTrac and Shopify in scaling quickly under pressure. Currently serving as the Director of Planning and Strategy at Fanatics, Nitin's systems-level approach and strategic vision are working to make high-performance logistics more accessible to businesses worldwide. Both Ends of the Business Spectrum Nitin brings a unique vantage point to each operation he works on. He has operated at both ends of the spectrum, from Fortune 1 companies to fast-scaling mid-sized businesses. To this end, Nitin understands what it takes to drive logistics innovation in vastly different contexts. At global giants like Walmart and Wayfair, Nitin managed complex transformations involving hundreds of millions of packages, nationwide delivery networks, and billion-dollar partnerships. Meanwhile, at mid-sized and high-growth companies like OnTrac and Shopify, Nitin helped design scalable systems, navigate resource constraints, and facilitate rapid growth, often starting from scratch or during periods of hyper-growth. Enterprise Insight, Startup Precision Nitin's tenures with institutions such as Walmart, Wayfair, and OnTrac informed his unique ability to translate billion-dollar strategies into scrappy, scalable models for Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs). He strives to help SMBs compete with the big players through his work. Nitin has invaluable insight into large companies' playbooks to gain cost advantages, improve delivery speed, and build customer loyalty. Therefore, he applies that knowledge to level the playing field for small and mid-sized businesses. Whether optimizing fulfillment footprints, deploying micro-fulfillment centers, or creating more innovative S&OP processes, Nitin helps SMBs compete more effectively in a competitive market. The Amazon Challenge While working with Walmart, Nitin tackled the economic puzzle of fast shipping without the volume density. This led to him pioneering the launch of Walmart's NextDay, which has since evolved into Walmart+. These programs aim to compete with Amazon's 1-day and 2-day free shipping options. To do this, Nitin needed to increase delivery speed under sparse circumstances. He ultimately designed innovative and efficient logistics strategies, prioritizing customer experience while maintaining financial responsibility. This meant finding the right balance between delivery speed and cost economics through optimized inventory placement, zone skipping, and ground transportation models that avoided expensive air networks. The resulting program, now called Walmart+, became so successful that the brand currently runs a series of ads for the service starring one of Hollywood's most in-demand talents, Walton Goggins. Tech as a Multiplier In recent years, AI has become an essential tool for business prediction and automation, and analytics improve forecast accuracy and cost efficiency in high-stakes logistics environments. To capitalize on these tools, Nitin doesn't just stay on top of AI trends; he actively integrates them into operations in ways that reduce costs, increase speed, and enhance service. This includes advanced techniques like Gradient Boosting methods that significantly lower MAPE in forecasting, and Reinforcement Learning models that enable smarter, more efficient routing decisions. Speaking and Thought Leadership Throughout his career, Nitin has accumulated extensive expertise in network design and optimal network planning. Now, he isn't just using that experience to drive scalable, high-performance logistics strategies across businesses of all sizes; he's also striving to pass on the knowledge he has acquired Nitin has written numerous articles covering business and scale-related subjects, unveiling many of his techniques in published works such as SDC Exec , International Journal for Supply Chain Management , and Supply Chain Management Review . Additionally, Nitin speaks publicly at conferences, including the Home Delivery World conference. There, he participated in an expert panel on optimal warehouse network design. Over 300 retailers and more than 5,000 supply chain experts attended the conference. Vision Forward For Nitin Natesh Kumar, the goal is to give the next generation of e-commerce brands the same logistics expertise that corporate giants have had. Over the next few years, he aims to help small and medium-sized e-commerce companies compete with the big players by providing them with the same level of strategic thinking, advanced analytics, and scalable logistics solutions. By bridging the gap between innovation and execution, Nitin aims to help these businesses unlock growth through smarter networks, optimized fulfillment, last-mile operations, and AI, a capability previously reserved for only the largest companies.
