After the recent announcement of Razer’s RGB face mark … I thought this was another joke. But as it turns out, it’s not! Will.i.am teases with his Xupermask with Built-in ANC Earphones! It looks SO cool.
Taken from Engadget … With face coverings becoming a necessity during the pandemic, we’ve seen countless variations on masks from the worlds of fashion, merchandise and tech. Enter Willi.i.am, a pop star who has tried with varying levels of success to straddle all of those industries. The Black Eyed Peas frontman has teamed up with Honeywell on a $299 tech-imbued face mask that wouldn’t look out of place in a cyberpunk movie or game.
Created in partnership with Hollywood costume designer Jose Fernandez — who was also behind SpaceX’s spacesuits — the “Xupermask” comes equipped with dual three-speed fans and HEPA filters, which we’ve also seen on LG’s wearable air purifier. Wearing his audiophile hat, Will.i.am has also added wireless earphones (that resemble his circular Buttons earbuds) featuring active noise cancellation, a microphone and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.
Borrowing from Razer’s mask, the Xupermask features LED day glow lights to further tap into that futuristic, neon aesthetic. The face mask goes on sale April 8th in North America and Europe via a dedicated website where it will be available in two colors (black and white) and two sizes.
