I'll assume it is 'supersonic' only,
so the neighbors won't wake up.
Dyson hair dryer
Vacuum mogul James Dyson has launched a "Supersonic" hair dryer. The £299 creation measures air temperature 20 times a second to stop strands searing, just one of many features said to make locks look lustrous. Dyson trotted out its usual "this product category is broken so we re-invented everything to make air behave usefully …

Measuring isn't controlling
Of course those with £299 to spend on a hair dryer don't understand that measuring the air temperature won't actually STOP the singe.
The control of air temperature will do that; and that doesn't change nearly quick enough NOT to be controllable by a £29 hair dryer.
Dyson mostly invents new stuff to be considered important. Brilliant marketing that lightens the wallets of the shallow thinkers, ready to blow their dough on fashion and folly.

Someone got taken in by the marketing at work and had his handdriers installed. The ones where you dip your hands in and some of the water drips onto your shoes and the rest remains on your hands. Their marketing team even came in and did staff presentations.
Thankfully common sense has triumphed and they've been ripped out and replaced with towels.

"Thankfully common sense has triumphed and they've been ripped out and replaced with towels."
I saw a report recently how much more effective those high speed driers were at spreading bacteria - several orders of magnitude higher, in fact. Assuming your towels are disposable as opposed to being bits of cloth hung on the wall*, they're the best solution.
*Lab assignment from student days ($HOW_LONG??-ago). Take towel hanging above lab WHB. Press onto surface of nutrient agar. Close Petri dish lid. Incubate. Observe technicolour growth a few days later.

Re: Measuring isn't controlling
I bought one of those cordless jobs for my holiday apartment. I can manage the whole apartment on charge, it hangs neatly on the wall, and with its active head, it is awesomely effective.
Expensive? Yes.
Effective? Yes.
I am a satisfied customer so far - I don't have pets :D
Also, I rather like the blade hand dryers and find them more effective than the older less directed types of dryer. I prefer paper towels though (a bit old school there).

DON'T TAKE SUPERSONIC OUT OF THE COUNTRY
I bought my wife the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer for Christmas and she loves it. We went to the USA for our annual holiday and the hair dryer wouldn't work. So I wrote to Dyson customer services explaining the problem - and this is the reply which came in very quickly:
Thank you for contacting Dyson!
Great question! The Dyson Supersonic we recommend only using in the country where purchased, because warranty coverage may not always be available where you visit or travel, also converter use is not recommended. It is our sincere pleasure to assist you and support your Dyson! If you require additional assistance please do not hesitate to contact the Dyson Helpline at questions@dyson.com. Thank you very much for your time.
Best wishes,

So we went out to Wall,art and bought a $14 Rimmel hair dryer which does the job thank you very much. SO - IF YOU SPEND £300 ON THE SUPERSONIC HAIRVDRYER - CANCEL THE FOREIGN HOLIDAY 'COS THE HAIRVDRYER WON'T WORK.
And Mr Dyson, c'mon. We put a man on the moon in 1969. Surely your team can produce a product that can operate universally - ESPECIALLY IF IT COSTS £300
Biting the hand that feeds IT
