I’ve found N95 masks to be far more breathable than the normal paper masks, and definitely more breathable than cloth masks.

  do you mean N95 masks with a valve? If so I agree, but the ones without a valve are way more difficult to breath in, that is kind of the point.

    Cloth masks get wet after a while which makes it hard to breathe, N95 masks (with or without valve) don't.

    I think they are talking as compared to cloth or surgical masks - and I would agree that the n95 class of masks are relatively easier to breathe in (and also reusable).

    The 3M Aura+ line is by far the easiest mask (including cloth) I've used, and coincidentally it gives me the best seal. I don't use them often, just in high risk situations - but they pass the glasses fog test among other things, and I can't tell I'm wearing it after about 15 minutes. All other masks annoy me. YMMV but it really surprised me as I hate the "surgical style" 3M N95's, these "duckbill" design masks are quite comfortable and breathable in comparison.

    I’ve only used non-valve N95s
