These headphones are a fusion of an air-purifier that can strapped to the face and noise-cancelling headphones. A visor that works as air purifier shoots jets of purified air on the nose and mouth of the wearer. The earcups consist compressors that suck in surrounding air and filter out particles and allergens of size 0.1 microns. The headphones feature four modes of air purification, low, medium, high and auto. It also feature three settings of noise-cancellation. The isolations mode is designed for blocking out all environmental noise and is the strongest mode. With transparency mode some of the external sound is fed in in order to keep the wearer aware of other noises.

There are many details of these new headphones that remain unclear such as battery life and weight. However, the product is expected to be available in the market in coming few months. Cost of the product is also not announced however such products are unlikely to come at cheap prices.
