Gaming equipment Razer has announced a new electric mask product, the Razer Zephyr Pro.
Specifications such as N95 grade interchangeable air supply / exhaust filter, electric fan, transparent material that allows you to see the mouth and convey the expression and LED light are the same as the current model Zephyr, and the higher version Pro adds a microphone and speaker.

Razer, which handles everything from gaming laptops to lifestyle products for gamers, announced its unique electric fan concept Project Hazel at the CES 2021 event in January last year. The voice amp is a feature that has been included since the concept was announced, but unfortunately it was omitted from the Razer Zephyr, which was released as a commercial version in the fall of 2021.
I thought that there were many issues to mass-produce as a product, so I will firmly commercialize a model equipped with a voice amplifier function as a higher version Zephyr Pro.

The shape of Zephyr Pro is almost the same as the current Zephyr. It is said that the weight increase that is worrisome as a wearable to be worn on the face is almost the same as the current product of about 206 g due to the weight reduction of the speaker grill part.
The main specifications as a mask or “wearable air purifier” are N95 grade replaceable filter (99% BFE standard) that can be used for 72 hours, 6200/4200 rpm switchable electric ventilation fan. Some masks with filters and electric fans filter only the intake air and leave the exhaust as it is, but Zephyr filters both the air supply and exhaust.
The built-in battery of the current model without a voice amplifier is up to 8 hours when the RGB light is off and the fan is low speed. It is designed to breathe as a passive mask without turning the fan. In addition, a silicone resin face seal and an adjustable elastic strap on the back of the head are used for fixing.
Among Razer’s “safety, social and sustainable” specifications, the specifications that realize the social part are the transparent resin material that makes it easy to see the mouth and communicate, the inner light that illuminates the face, the Razer Chroma RGB light that expresses itself outwards, And a voice amplifier only for Pro.
The voice amplifier function consists of a microphone inside the mask and an outward speaker, and if enabled, even if you speak with the mask on, you can speak at a volume of “60 decibels at a distance of about 1 m” (about normal speaking voice). To tell. The voice amplifier is a method to switch on / off with a button.
The regular version of Razer Zephyr is $ 99 / domestic price of 12,488 yen including tax, while the higher version of Zephyr Pro is priced at $ 150. It will be $ 199 with a 90-day replacement filter pack. It will be released within 2022.
As the global infection situation continues with new mutant strains, there is no sign of returning to the era of no mask, but rather the mask may develop as a new slot for wearable devices along with glasses and headphones. not.
