Hushme Classic

“A hi-tech face mask that muffles the user's voice. The device is one of the more curious items on show at the CES tech trade fair in Las Vegas, where the BBC's Chris Foxx put to the test.”

“U.S.-based Hushme has created what it calls the "world's first voice mask for mobile phones." The mask, which comes in a few different colors, can be worn around the neck as a standard wireless headphone or in masking mode. The headphones appear geared to office workers, who talk on the phone all day or are looking to have private conversations at their desk.”

“Have you ever been in a situation where you are in public and you want to make a private phone call and you don't want anyone to overhear? Hushme is the BT headset and speaker that connects to your phone and it offers you some privacy.”

“Wireless and hands-free mask to protect your speech privacy even on the go.”

“Most importantly, you’ll never be the loud, annoying guy taking a call in the co-working kitchen. And even when you are, nobody will know if you’re talking about highly sensitive work details or with a friend. Hushme’s also perfect for the gamer who wants to play all night without bothering anyone at home. You can stay connected to your team and complete your missions while everyone else sleeps.”

“This device will become indispensable for people who are often forced to communicate from a noisy environment. With Hushme, you will not have to shout or repeat each word 200 times. Without exception, all the interlocutors said that with Hushme the sound quality is much better, no extraneous noise is heard at all, even in the noisiest moments.”

“With its unique ergonomic design that couples as both a Voice mask and Headset, the device essentially is a headphone and microphone combination that is shaped to fit directly over the mouth and connect to your device through a wired or wireless connection. There is no better way to protect your conversation from curious ears in a public space than this”

“I can hear you, but it is muffled.”
