Air compressors in the ear cups drive purified air to the wearer’s mouth and nose via a clip-on visor
Um.
This morning.
Via The Guardian:
Dyson has announced its first wearable product that builds the firm’s air purification expertise into a set of Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones aimed at city dwellers wanting to avoid polluted air.
Quite unlike anything the company has made before, the Dyson Zone is sure to draw quizzical looks. It is a set of large, plush headphones with a plastic mask-type contraption that connects from ear-to-ear across the wearer’s mouth and looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.
It delivers purified air to the mouth and nose while simultaneously tackling noise pollution through its active noise cancelling technology.

The hypochondriacs in this country will be queuing outside Harvey Norman for this.
Well the Covid Cult need some new neurotic obsessions now that they have to mind their own business- so why not?
Niggle down below thinks that this is a solution for air pollution.
In true rightwing fashion, he identifies a social problem and then praises an individual solution, available only to those who can pay for it.
But of course it’s not about air pollution but about Covid, as well as all the other scamdemics coming down the line.
Playing on our individual fears and profitting from them.
What would we do without your well thought out, scientifically backed insight?
Pot kettle Kim
Wow you extrapolated wildly there, didn’t you?
By the way I have to take issue with this: rightwingers do not identify social problems. Righwingers completely deny that social problems exist, block all straighforward and obvious soutions to social problems, launch culture war attacks on the very idea of solving social problems as unprecedented assaults on individual freedems., externalise costs of social problems to tax payers and individuals, and since most social problems inherently cause health problems, they run down public health services while pushing for privatisation.
You’d be surprised how many people fall for the culture war stuff.
Not so, Niggle.
Rightwingers constantly identify social problems, and then look for a way to turn them to their advantage.
In case you don’t understand the term, rightwingers does not just mean fascist, nazi or similar – these are indeed rightwingers, they are at the psychopathic end of the scale. Your average FFFG-Green-Labour are all rightwingers, for instance many of them are landlords profitting from obstructing the construction of social housing. Or indeed bulldozing houses already built in order to enforce a false floor in the market in some counties.
Denying that the problems exist while turning them to their financial advantage are not mutually exclusive activities for the current right wing.
Defintitely agree that FF/FG are right wing, although perhaps not as extreme as some inasmuch as they don’t actually outright deny there’s, eg, a housing crisis, for what that’s worth. Whether any smaller party that goes into government with them is left or right is irrelevant, their right wing policies overhwelm or corrupt.
My wife bought a dyson hoover then a hand held portable one
It’s so high tech
It has filter after filter but the biggest flaw is it gets blocked
It’s an absolute waste of money then she bought a dyson hair dryer at a cost of hundreds
It’s no better in all reality than a cheap job in Tesco
So it has all this data display
Now we see another product from dyson designed for those who live in fear
Out and out price gouging at €600 to €1000 plus when you convert sterling and then pay the brexit duty
And the biggest laugh is is you get covid you cannot sue them for catching it even if you wear it 24/7
On of the biggest signs of this whole scam was when Lidl started to sell rapid antigen tests. The NPHET vested interest crooks accompanied by the bent media done their level best to block it as a credible alternative to PCR- deliberately conflating the purpose of the two.
Dork Vader…

Looks stupid but you know what’s stupider? Air pollution kills millions every year.
how never to get the ride again…by Dyson
Haaaaaa haaaaaaaa. You’ve some take on things Janet.
This is just a fetish waiting to happen.
I think he has a pair of panties stuffed in there that he’s having a good auld sniff off.
The idea that this is even a thing that people will purchase suggests we are totally fupped.
Are we all certain this isn’t an early April Fools joke?
God I hope so
In fairness there are some cities- like London- where I cannot be in during the summer months without antihistamines. It is not hay fever as I have no problems in the countryside.
Some people are affected by pollution much worse than me so if it helps- then why not?
It’s not the use of it that I’d laugh uncontrollably at and shake my head… it’s the fact that it’s something we even need, to live in a city that’s choked with pollution.We are in a bad way if people actually need these.
If this is what it takes to help people finally understand how bad things are getting, maybe it’s not so stupid-looking after all.
Yes fair point but the green virtues signallers really get on my…
Take Pearce Street, Dublin for ex. Complaints about high pollution levels and calls to ban or restrict cars. Except nobody asking why pollution levels are so bad on Pearce Street. It is because cars sit and go nowhere for long periods of time, and why is that? Because the main artery going north leads to the lovely Samuel Becket Bridge.
A bridge which has a very restricted no of vehicles allowed cross over it per hour. So- the reason for the high pollution on Pearce Street is actually the Samuel Becket Bridge.
I have sat on that bridge on a Friday afternoon, for over an hour a few years back, so time to ponder. Nobody asks how or why that bridge got approved, when it is clearly not fit for purpose?
Instead, let’s all just wave placards and bleat about fumes when in fact in that case, one or more individuals within DCC 100% knew that was going to happen.
Moving vehicles pollute less by the very fact that their journey times are so much shorter- it’s not rocket science.
Your complaint is weird. Activists are blue in the face from pointing out that bad planning, design and poor traffic management contribute to the problem, and that DCC time and time again make the wrong planning and design decisions. One single bridge is not the problem. It’s one of a number of elements that make the problem worse.
Regarding the comment on the Samuel Beckett bridge, there are 15 bridges carrying vehicles over less than 5km length of river between Heuston Station and Dublin Port and SOQ thinks a bridge is the problem… rocket science indeed!
The northbound feed from Pearce street runs directly onto the Samuel Becket Bridge which is also, one lane only.
I have reviewed the Cube Transport Model of Dublin btw- it is most definately by design.
Are you of the opinion that they want people to pay to use the bridge further downriver? And then funnel the cars into the pay-to-use tunnel out of the city?
And then the average punter – wanting to avoid paying those taxes – drives on into Tara St and across Butt Bridge, thus clogging up Pearse St.
Meanwhile in Cork and Limerick you can completely avoid the city by using the ringroads and the tunnels under the Lee or the Shannon. In the latter case paying a tax, sorry I mean a toll.
Ok so as you are both so expert in transport- plan me a route on google maps FROM Peace Street to the M1 or port tunnel without sitting waiting to cross the Samuel Becket Bridge?
Nobody?
No one cared who i was until i put the mask on…you merely adopted the dark,i was born in it.
looks like oxford circus in the background. an apt place for testing it out. cause i can feel the filth in the air there.
Is that area not bus only now? Not that would make much difference because most of it was from buses anyways. Never wear a white shirt on Oxford Street was the rule- or it soon wouldn’t be.
It is the same in Dublin- a good blast from the back end of one of those buses taking off from the quays, and you’ll be gasping for the next half hour.
