Why Experts Don't Like Dyson's New Personal Air Purifier

The Lede

In Dyson's new air-purifying headphones, clean air is directed to your mouth and nose through a filter in the headphone ear cups that cleans incoming air. Dyson makes it clear that this isn't a pandemic-proof solution, just their new development in wearable tech. Here's what the experts think.

Key Details

• Mike Epstein in Popular Science wrote in a review: "The headset doesn't cover your mouth, so it can't suppress the particles in your breath from spreading to others."
• There currently is no full visor, but Dyson says they will include a face covering with the final product by Fall 2022.
• Other medical experts are unconvinced about the mechanics of the device and have yet to test it.
