unfortunately despite being even slightly more expensive than LG Puricare, it seems to have worse filters?
not sure why you would want to tie your music listening to your air purification?
people who traditionally might like this type of consumer grade active filter mask are those worried about the effects of pollution in cities on their health, it's interesting to see this company xupermask attempt to appeal instead to streetwear or fashion and music crowds.
I predict a very small chance of actually breaking through and making this type of mask more widely popular outside health-focused or urban foot+cycle commuters and a large chance of complete failure due to the product's price and lack of consumer interest.
people immediately dismissing this are just ignorant to the real interest in air filtration by those who are deeply concerned with the health effects of breathing urban pollution.
- gnabgib 5y agoThat LG one is really ugly (maybe it looks better in life? I'm dubious).. but the Woobi plus, the Woobi wins (gas mask-chic). There are some interesting alternatives out there.. although they all feel like they're using a razor blade/ink cartridge model for pricing (perhaps made worse by the site no having all of them or listing the price particularly prominently)
- Gualdrapo 5y agoPersonally I won't even consider to use such thing while cycling. Looks rigid (and maybe with some weight penalty compared to other lightweight non-tech alternatives?), in case of a serious crash it can be troublesome. Plus the idea of cycling while listening to music is a no-no.
- bradknowles 5y agoSo, I’m curious — does anyone know of people (or even a single person) who has actually tested the masks from the shopmask.com site? Can they actually deliver anything? Do any of the masks actually work?
