Razer's updated Zephyr Pro mask gets voice amplification

Almost a year since Razer unveiled the Project Hazel smart face mask, the company is back with the Zephyr (its official product name) and a Pro version of it. It gets all the features of the Zephyr that went on sale in October but adds on voice amplification. 

The Project Hazel concept had voice amplification, but it was cut when the original Zephyr launched. That version of the smart mask got a dual-fan active filtration system with N95 filters and RGB lighting. Now, the Zephyr Pro can amplify your voice by 60 decibels up to one meter away. A button on the side lets you toggle this feature on and off. The Zephyr Pro will cost US$50 more at US$150 (around CA$191 converted), and Razer plans to sell a starter pack that includes 100 days of filters for US$200 (CA$255). But it hasn't said when it's releasing the product.

Razer CEO confirms you'll be able to purchase its smart RGB face mask

One of the concepts Razer showed off at CES earlier this year was a high-tech face mask called Project Hazel, and it looks like the company will turn that project into an actual product. Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan confirmed their plan with Yahoo Finance, but he hasn't said when it would enter production.

He divulged why Razer decided to develop Project Hazel. He said Razer realized people would want to mask up even after getting vaccinated as an extra precaution. Plus, many countries won't be able to vaccinate their entire population within the next couple of years, so Project Hazel will provide that additional protection for those who want it.
