MaskFone - Face Mask with Built-In Earbuds
Meet MaskFone, a new kind of pandemic proTECHtion. MaskFone is face mask with a built-in microphone and earbuds. It combines personal safety - and the safety of those around you - with the convenience of using your phone in public without fiddling with or removing your mask, or speaking with a muffled voice.
In addition to its built-in mic, MaskFone pairs with the Hubble Connect app to boost your voice when you speak and further promote clear conversations. The app also has one-touch integration with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant when paired wirelessly to your smartphone.
MaskFone earbuds conduct anything from calls to music to podcasts, and sport a design that incorporates their wires into the face mask's straps for easy, tangle-free access. When you're not in a listening mood, magnets hold the earbuds in place against the edge of the mask.
The MaskFone face mask itself is made of a soft twill that contours to your chiseled features. The material is water-resistant and washable, fitted with replaceable N95 / FFP2 and PM2.5 filters. The mask is designed with a low-profile, sealed fit, and breathable, barely-there feel that's suitable for extended wear and workouts.
