This is neat. If it can help make masks cool/hip for the younger generation that's only a good thing.

Went looking for the price at the website. Nothing.

What are we expecting, $500+?

The fact that the Designer talked about the mask in that video for 2 minutes and didn't even put it on speaks volumes about this product.

I mean, a year ago crazy people would splurge on this when we had no idea when the plague would end, but now with a light at the end of the tunnel...?

Too too long to create this. Also it's fucking stupid.

I want one, but I'd wonder if I could paint the inside of it so it wasn't see through. The only joy of having a mask atm is people can't see my bad teeth. :p

What exactly is stupid about it? lol I for one love that masks are becoming so much more acceptable in the west. Even if there are dumbfucks still resistant to it, I hope a ton of ppl continue to wear them during flu season, etc.

Feature set seems nice. Depending on weight, I'd love to have one when I go on runs.

Ehh, I'm on the fence about it.

There's a lot I like about it. Voiceamp technology could be very useful - I hate trying to talk to people through a mask.
Wireless charging/sterilizer case is nice, as is a rechargeable ventilator. Sounds like it would be easier to wear for a long haul.

The fact that it's transparent is weird. First off, like others have said, having the lower half of my face hidden is more feature than bug when it comes to mask wearing. Also, in pictures on their site, being able to see through the mask actually makes the whole thing look kind of weird, like you're wearing sunglasses on your mouth.

RGB lighting is lol. I would just keep them turned off.

If they sold a cheap version that hid your face and didn't have lights, I'd probably buy it right away.

It looks like it's very smartly designed. I would be in for one if it's not horribly priced.

A lot of people, including some here, have said that even when this is over they would still wear masks on a more consistent basis. Shit, I'd where this during the peak of flu season.
