Description
The manufacturer’s most powerful hair dryer — in a body you can actually hold all morning
The Supersonic r™ is a different shape, and that is the whole point. The heater has been rebuilt into the curve of the head, the electronics have moved into the plug, and the result is a dryer that is 30% smaller and 20% lighter than the Supersonic™ range — while being the most powerful machine the manufacturer makes. That matters most where drying is hardest: the back of your head, the roots, the section you have been holding your arm up for. 98% of owners found it easy to manoeuvre, and 96% said it dries the back of their head effortlessly.4
Why the Supersonic r™ is different
Streamlined Flow heater — ten foils in the curve
Instead of a ring of heat at the top of the handle, ten heater foils are placed along the curve of the head. Air passes over them evenly, so you get consistent temperature across the whole airflow — no hot spots, no cold spots, no alternating between over-drying one section and under-drying the next.
30% smaller, 20% lighter0
The manufacturer moved the primary electronics into the plug, which is why the body could shrink this much. The lighter, shorter head sits closer to your hand, so precision styling stops being a test of wrist endurance.
Five intelligent attachments
Each attachment is preset to the right temperature and airflow range for its job, and each carries an RFID chip that remembers the setting you last used with it. Fit the diffuser and the dryer picks up where you left off. Fit the concentrator and it does the same.
Up to 46% less frizz00
Negatively charged ions reduce static, which is what most frizz actually is. Combined with even heat and a smoother airflow path, hair finishes smoother and with more shine than air drying.
No heat damage
Intelligent heat control regulates the airflow temperature continuously, so fast drying does not come at the cost of your hair.
Built with stylists, not just for them
Over 100 professional stylists tested the machine during development, and more than 90% agreed it achieves a salon finish, controls flyaways, reduces frizz and enhances curl definition.

Frequently asked questions
How is the Supersonic r™ different from the original Supersonic™?
The original solved the problems of traditional dryers. The r™ fine-tunes that technology further: a new heater format, a new body shape, and a 30% smaller, 20% lighter build0 that gives you more manoeuvrability. The result is the manufacturer’s most precise styling dryer.
Is there a difference between the consumer and professional editions?
No difference in performance. The professional version has a longer cable for salon use. For home use, this consumer edition is the one the manufacturer recommends.
What is the warranty?
Two years.
How do I know when to clean the filter?
The dryer tells you. A yellow LED flashes on the handle just above the filter when it needs cleaning.
Can I use it in other countries?
This is a 120V machine and the manufacturer recommends using it only in the country where you bought it. If you need a dryer for international travel, the Supersonic Travel is the model built for that.
Do the attachments remember my settings?
Yes. Each intelligent attachment contains an RFID chip that communicates with the dryer and restores the temperature and airflow you last used with that attachment.
Is it suitable for curly and coily hair?
Yes. The diffuser and wide-tooth comb are engineered specifically for curls, coils and waves, and the attachment set covers straight, wavy and textured hair.
