    I thought this was an April fools gag, but James Dyson doesn’t strike me as a ‘wild and crazy’ guy and sure enough they’re legit. Being in Sydney I can’t really relate to the kind of poor air quality that would see a market for these but I assume in some parts of China or India they’ve identified a market. Don’t hold your breath waiting for a review (pun intended.)

    Thank you Dyson for eventually making this normal street wear:

    I just don’t see John Dyson OBE dragging his balls through the custard at a christening to be zany - but I really hope you’re right.

    It was communicated some days prior. I.. I fear this will be an actual product.

    They’re missing a trick. Instead of purifying the air, the mask could pump in smells to replicate the venue the music was played in.

    I would expect the tone of these to have a lot of air.

    I'm sorry.

    Mildly disappointing they didn't take that shape and incorporate tactile transducers for your teeth instead. Always wanted to experience Merzbow that way.

    Lol, does it have tongue buttons to control volume and change songs?

    lick up: volume up
    luck down: lower volume
    luck left and right: prev/next

    I'm sure someone has already converted the air purifier into a bong...

    I posted in a profile that it happily reminds me of RX-24, the pilot mech from the original version of Star Tours (voiced by Paul Reubens!).

    Thanks, I can’t get the quote to work, but your link sums things up. Always someone willing to start pissing before they got their cock out. :)

    I'm pretty sure that air is well outside of my hearing these days, or years, rather. So I don't care if it is purified or not.

    I have some pretty awful allergies and would be all for this if it keeps my allergies at bay like in door air purifiers do.
