NEWS – When I received an email from Dyson’s PR team yesterday for the Dyson Zone wearable air-purifying headphones, I rolled my eyes because I thought for sure that it was an April Fools’ Day gag. I even replied by asking if it was a joke and the response I received was that it is a real product. Ok, color me surprised!
The Dyson Zone pairs noise canceling, high fidelity over-ear headphones with a mask that provides purified airflow to the nose and mouth. It uses an electrostatic filtration system that captures 99% of particle pollution as small as 0.1 microns5, such as dust, pollen, and bacteria while making you look like a character from a sci-fi flick.
Apparently, you can remove the air purifier “visor” when you want to go audio-only and not look like a dork.
The Dyson Zone will be available in the Autumn/Fall of 2022, but they have not announced the price at this time. You can sign up to be notified when it does become available.

it would be cool if the mask part went to have a voice changer and Dyson manages to make an agreement with Disney and bring a Star Wars themed device, for you know… research.
“I find your lack of faith disturbing”
Looks like Ant-Man. I wonder how well people can hear you talk while wearing one.
Good perhaps for the person wearing it – Covid spreader to everyone else if the wearer is contagious since the purified air stream will also push their exhalations even further into their surroundings 🙁 I read another article saying they started development before Covid and got the size really reduced, but seems like they didn’t include the possible effect on adjacent non-wearers in a pandemic.
