  "account": "Dyson's OnTrac headphones have seen a significant discount, now priced at AU$299 during the brand's Spring Sale event. While they have improved over the Zone model, the OnTrac still fell short of the top performers from Sony and Bose. The main reason for this was their high price tag of AU$799, which made them less competitive in comparison to other manufacturers' offerings. With a current discount, the OnTrac becomes a more viable option for potential buyers. Despite their impressive noise cancellation and a battery life of 55 hours, the headphones are quite heavy, making them uncomfortable for extended wear. However, at this reduced price point, the OnTrac is a more appealing choice, although there are still better options available. For those willing to invest around AU$300, there are several high-quality alternatives worth considering.",
  "summary": "Dyson's second pair of headphones didn't meet its lofty expectations and has received a significant price cut as a result — but I still think there are better alternatives to look out for.",
