During the Covid-19 pandemic, various tech companies ventured into creating masks with audio components like Razer Zephyr, will.i.am’s Xupermask Honeywell collaboration, and Dyson’s air purifier mask headphones combo. As the pandemic waned, the concept of wearable air purifiers with audio capabilities resurfaced with Ible, a Taiwanese company, introducing the E1 & T1 wireless earbuds that also function as air purifiers promising protection against pollutants and viruses.
The Airvida E1 offers noise cancellation and ionic air purification, while the T1 integrates an air purifier with noise-cancelling earbuds. Both devices aim to provide superior sound quality and clean air around the facial area. These innovative earbuds come in sleek designs, with features like adjustable ion levels, real-time air quality updates, and Bluetooth connectivity. The devices are designed to cater to users with respiratory issues, allergies, or those looking to avoid germs.
TechRadar will be providing extensive coverage of CES 2025, where these cutting-edge devices were unveiled, promising to offer a blend of advanced audio technology and air purification.
