Got these two weeks ago, also from woot at the same price. The headphones alone make this a great price. They sound amazing and are just as good as my AirPods Max.
Having a blower fans in the same ear cups as the transducers just sounds like a bad idea. The visor is an even worse one, since it does not block any pollutant and basically just blows a mixture of dirty air, filtered air, and probably sweat up the wearer's nostrils, or other parts of the face, e.g. eyes, where blown air may be irritating. It may have some effectiveness against aerosol droplets from sick people, but an N95 mask will be more effective, cheaper, and far less dorky.

I actually saw the headphones at a best buy demo and asked the sales rep about the visor and the blower. The blower noise, and the inability to block out pollution, were HIS voluntary admission. I didn't have to search online to find these info. He even showed me the squirrel cage blowers when I asked him if the purifier thingy was real, because I couldn't believe any self respecting engineer can come up with something this silly, having been in the field myself for the past 3 decades.
Quote from big mike :
Wow what a dumb product, the slick deal is not buying them probably.
Do they sound good? Good noise cancelling headphones are expensive.
based on reviews they sound decent, but they're apparently substantially heavier than anything that competes with them, and with the Sony XM5s going on clearance for the 6 you can get better headphones for around the same price.

my daily driver is the sony xm5.
picked these up during the last woot sale and i hate to admit that i'm impressed by the sound quality enough to keep them. ANC works slightly better due to the tighter head clamp (feels sort of like you have a motorcycle helmet on). the bass/mids/highs are crisp even at low volumes and walking around a noisy city.
i haven't even bothered to try the air visor, but nice to keep around if i ever want to try it
as mentioned by other reviewers, the massive downside to the dyson zones is the weight. i can feel the weight pushing down on my head/neck, but there is no pain or strain. the pads are comfy enough for extended listening sessions. the cans are large and extend farther out from your head too, but the build quality is very duratble metal (not plastic).
probably the best sound quality out there for this price. if you're on the fence, i'd encourage you to try it.

Just needed a better visor that isn't so polarizing. Working on that.
