The Dyson Airwrap i.d. is a Bluetooth-connected multi-styler and hair dryer that combines a 1,300 W Hyperdymium digital motor, Coanda-effect airflow styling and app-driven automation into a single device, and it is available in India at ₹40,900 at ProAudio Video against a ₹49,900 MRP. It is the first Airwrap that talks to your phone: the MyDyson app builds a hair profile from six questions about your hair type, length and styling goal, then programs the machine to run a curl sequence at the push of a button. That sounds like a gimmick until you remember that the single biggest complaint about every previous Airwrap in India was the learning curve. The i.d. is Dyson’s answer to that complaint, and at this price in 2026 it is the most complete hair-styling tool the brand has shipped.

This is for the buyer who already accepts that a premium multi-styler is worth it and now wants the version that actually gets used daily rather than gathering dust after two failed attempts. It suits medium-to-long hair, people who want to dry and style in one pass without a separate flat iron or curling tong, and anyone who has been put off by the manual technique older Airwrap barrels demanded. If you dry your hair five days a week and style it three, the ₹40,900 spend at ProAudio Video works out to a very different cost-per-use than an occasional-event styler.

Sound Quality & Performance: How the Airwrap i.d. Actually Styles

Performance on a multi-styler comes down to airflow, not heat, and this is where the Airwrap i.d. earns its price. The Dyson Hyperdymium digital motor spins at up to 110,000 rpm and pushes 13.5 litres per second of air. That pressure is what creates the Coanda effect — the physics phenomenon where a fast-moving jet of air clings to a curved surface and drags surrounding air with it. In practice, hair placed near the barrel wraps itself around it without you manually winding anything. On the i.d. barrels, the machine then holds the curl in the airflow and switches automatically to a cool shot to set it, which is the step most people used to skip and then wonder why their curls dropped in twenty minutes.

Drying is the underrated half of this product. The 2-in-1 Coanda smoothing dryer dries and smooths simultaneously, and on long, thick Indian hair it gets you to fully dry in roughly ten to twelve minutes — competitive with a dedicated dryer, not a compromise attachment. Because intelligent heat control samples the airflow temperature 40 times per second and holds it below 150°C, you are not cooking the hair shaft the way a 200°C plate does. The trade-off is honest: you will not get a poker-straight ceramic-plate finish from air alone. What you get is a soft, high-volume blow-dry finish with noticeably fewer flyaways, and hair that still looks healthy after six months of daily use.

Build Quality & Design: Light, Balanced and Built for Daily Use

The i.d. body weighs about 635 g (1.4 lb) and measures roughly 272 mm tall by 48 mm wide by 41 mm deep, with the motor sitting in the handle rather than the head. That layout matters more than the raw number: the balance point sits in your palm, so holding the tool overhead through a full styling session does not turn into a shoulder workout the way a top-heavy curling wand does. The 2.6 m (8.5 ft) cable is long enough for a typical Indian bathroom or bedroom socket placement without an extension board.

Attachments click on magnetically and rotate freely, which is a small thing that stops the cable twisting into a knot mid-style. Build materials are the usual Dyson mix of high-grade polycarbonate and soft-touch finishes, and the colourways — Prussian Blue/Rich Copper, Ceramic Pink/Rose Gold and Ceramic Patina/Topaz among them — are clearly aimed at a device that lives on a dressing table rather than in a drawer. The presentation case included in the box is genuinely useful given how many attachments ship with it; anyone who has lost a curling barrel behind a cupboard will appreciate that. The one build caveat is that the filter at the base needs periodic cleaning with the supplied brush, and Indian buyers in dusty cities should treat that as a monthly job, not an annual one.

Features & Connectivity: The MyDyson App Is the Real Upgrade

The headline feature is Bluetooth wireless connectivity to the MyDyson app — a first for the Airwrap line. You answer six questions covering hair type, length, texture and the look you want, and the app builds a profile, then pushes an automated styling sequence to the machine. Press the button and the device runs the wrap, style and set stages itself with the correct timing, temperature and cool-shot. For a first-time user this is the difference between a device you master in one session and one you give up on. The app also handles filter-cleaning reminders and firmware updates, and it stores multiple profiles if more than one person in the household uses the tool.

Physical controls remain simple: three heat settings and three airflow speeds, plus a dedicated cold-shot. Negative ion generation helps reduce static, which is a meaningful benefit in dry North Indian winters. The attachment set covers the realistic use cases — re-engineered i.d. curl barrels for automated curling, the 2-in-1 Coanda smoothing dryer for drying and flyaway control, an anti-snag loop brush for a smooth blow-dry finish, and a round volumising brush for lift at the roots. Power input is standard 220–240 V for India at 1,300 W, so no converter or step-down transformer is needed — a real advantage over grey-market 120 V US units, which is worth remembering when you compare prices online.

Value for Money in India 2026

At ₹40,900 against a ₹49,900 MRP, the Airwrap i.d. at ProAudio Video sits roughly ₹9,000 below list price, and that gap is where the value argument lives. Judged against a ₹5,000 dryer plus a ₹4,000 tong, it is indefensible on pure specification. Judged as a replacement for a dryer, a curler, a straightening pass and a monthly salon blow-dry at ₹800–₹1,500 a visit, the maths changes quickly — roughly thirty salon blow-dries covers the difference. The other India-specific consideration is heat damage: hair treated below 150°C simply survives longer between trims and colour appointments, and that is a recurring cost most buyers forget to price in. Buying locally at ₹40,900 also means a valid India warranty and serviceable spare attachments, which imported units at similar prices do not offer.

Who Should Buy the Dyson Airwrap i.d.?

✅ Buy it if you: have medium to long hair and dry it several times a week, want curls that actually hold without a separate tong, have tried an older Airwrap and given up on the manual technique, or want to cut heat damage and stretch the time between salon visits and colour touch-ups.

❌ Skip it if you: have very short hair where the Coanda effect has nothing to wrap around, want a mirror-flat pin-straight finish that only hot ceramic plates deliver, or style your hair only occasionally — in which case a ₹6,000 dryer and a ₹4,000 tong will serve you at a tenth of the cost.
