At the CES show at the beginning of this year, Razer officially released a concept mask product called "Project Hazel", which immediately attracted the attention and high expectations of many consumers around the world. Finally, after a lapse of more than nine months, this Project Hazel Finally, the Razer Zephyr mask-type air purifier was released on Razer's official website. At the same time, Razer's official website also put this new product on the shelves in a low-key manner, but it has not yet officially opened for consumers to purchase. Brian, who has been continuously tracking this new product, also obtained this Zephyr mask-type air purifier exclusively for you at the first time, and brought you unboxing and actual measurements. What is this Razer Zephyr mask-type air purifier? Is it worth it or not, let's keep reading!

The outer packaging of the Razer Zephyr mask-type air purifier (hereinafter referred to as Zephyr) is made of fully recyclable paper. There are actual product photos on the outer box. You can see the Zephyr product structure on the back of the outer box, including the left and right There are two N95 grade filters, transparent mask design, Razer CHROMA RGB lighting effect and other designs. The bottom of the package has detailed specifications of the product. It also has features such as dedicated apps for iOS and Android operating systems that support personalization settings.

Outside the inner box, you can see the design of two wearing ropes. The wearing method is closer to the N95 mask than the general mask type. The USB-C charging cable and six round disposable masks are attached with the product. N95 grade side plenum screen, three long disposable bottom plenum screen, which are standard accessories provided by Zephyr.

In addition, a small can of anti-fog spray BP5081A15 is included in the accessories, which is mainly used to avoid fogging in the transparent mask, but I use it myself with the built-in fan. Fog spray, but because this mask is designed to be washed with water, the coating on the mask may fall off after long-term use. At that time, the fogging effect caused by breathing can be reduced through anti-fog spray, but although anti-fog spray The composition of the agent contains diluted alcohol, but it is not recommended to be used for cleaning the Zephyr. Cleaning by washing or spraying on a dry cloth with 75% alcohol is a better method.

If you purchase a set, you will also receive a sealed bag of N95-rated filters, which contains 33 sets of N95-rated filters. If you use it for an average of 8 hours a day and 3 days, you need to replace the filters. Look, there are 36 sets of 3 sets of filters including the box, which can be used for up to about 108 days (about three months), and the filter set is sold independently, according to the price of Taiwan's official website. NT$899 The price is still quite Razer's characteristics.

In terms of external design, the Razer Zephyr is nearly 80% similar to the original concept product. In addition to the addition of a breathable and filter-rich opening under the mask, it becomes smoother and the lanyard for wearing. The original left and right ear lanyards were changed to two upper and lower lanyards. Finally, in the position of the CHORMA RGB light, it was also slightly moved to the sides of the left and right filters. Overall, the exterior design still retains the cyberpunk style of e-sports texture. If the chin filter can be designed to be larger, you can turn into the handsome villain "Bane" in the Dark Knight in seconds.

When you get the Razer Zephyr, the original factory will not pre-install the N95 filter for it, mainly for hygiene concerns, or it may be misunderstood as having been used. Users need to install the lower side of the mask and Screens for the left and right circular filters. In order to make the disassembly and assembly of the filter more convenient, Razer also carefully uses the magnetic filter cover design, which also facilitates the user's cleaning operation, which is quite commendable.

On the inside of the left and right filters, Razer is equipped with a fan that can perform two speeds. This fan is a device used to help users breathe better when wearing a mask, improve the circulation of internal and external air, and reduce the sultry heat when wearing a mask. The speed of the fan can be switched through the multi-function buttons described below, which is also quite convenient to use.

The inside of the Razer Zephyr includes lanyards on the left and right sides and a silicone mask. The lanyard is made of elastic nylon rope. The silicone mask is made of BPA-free silicone material. The small holes on the mask are used to help The design of reducing the uneven internal and external pressure during sealing, the silicone material is quite skin-friendly and has no strange smell. The key point is that this silicone mask also adopts a magnetic suction design, which can be easily removed for cleaning by the user. I will use it after wearing it. Alcohol cotton pads are used for cleaning. As for whether the silicone will harden and crack after a long time of use, please forgive me that I only started with a few days and can't answer the questions for you...

Due to the CHROMA RGB lighting and fan, the Razer Zephyr also has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, which needs to be charged through the USB-C charging port. The USB-C charging port is located under the right side of the mask and has a silicone protective cover device. , you need to open the protective cover when charging. The multi-function button has the operation functions of power switch, Bluetooth pairing connection and fan speed switching. It is located behind the right circular filter and adopts a mechanical physical button design.

As one of Razer's products, the Zephyr mask-type air purifier is of course also equipped with virtual CHROMA RGB lighting. After powering on, there will be a preset external spectral cycle lighting effect and an internal green fixed color lighting effect. The lighting effect cannot be turned off through the multi-function button, and it needs to be operated through a dedicated App.

The Razer Zephyr is designed with two upper and lower lanyards, two adjustable non-slip rubber pads, and an adjustable lanyard design, which is more suitable for users of different head sizes. As for comfort or not Just look at the actual test sharing below.

The Razer Zephyr has built-in Bluetooth wireless function, which allows users to connect Android and iOS operating system devices. It is mainly used with the specially created "Razer Zephyr" App. The Bluetooth connection method is also quite simple, just long press more When the blue light flashes on the inside of the mask, you can find it in the Bluetooth list of the device, and press the function button to complete the pairing and connection operation.

Of course, I still recommend that if you purchase Zephyr, you can download the app of the same name, which can be downloaded in both Android and iOS stores. In addition to real-time power information, you can also adjust the fan speed and internal and external lights. , and also provides the website to purchase the filter. Whether the firmware version will be updated in the future is still unknown.

In fact, let's take a look at the detailed operation of the Razer Zephyr App. The fan speed part has high-speed and low-speed options, and the internal lighting part has three modes: fixed color light, spectral cycle and breathing effect. At the same time, you can customize the color and brightness. External lights have a wave effect, which can be adjusted for speed and direction.

actual wearing experience

The Razer Zephyr mask-type air purifier weighing 204g, with two lanyards on the top and bottom, can really disperse the weight of the mask body. This may be the best change that Razer has made in the official launch of this product. When actually wearing it, there will not be an irresistible sense of falling, the stability of wearing and the sealing performance of the mask are quite excellent, but if it is used for sports, it is recommended that you do not run or have a high jump Intermittent exercise, otherwise it will be prone to falling, and it will be a better choice to use it in daily commuting, outdoor walking or office.

Will my Razer Zephyr get hot or have trouble breathing? This should be a concern of many users. When I actually wear it, I need to breathe harder than usual when the fan is not turned on. In short, there will be a loud breathing sound, but it does not appear. In the case of difficulty breathing, I have also tried low-speed and high-speed fans to wear them, which can indeed reduce breathing force, but strictly speaking, high-speed and low-speed fans enhance air circulation, I think there is only a slight difference. , If you exclude the sound of the fan running, basically I can't tell the difference. If you want to increase the battery life and increase the air circulation effect, it is recommended to turn on the low-speed fan.

The upper and lower lanyards with elastic and adjustable design, as well as the anti-slip silicone pad device, can be adjusted according to the size of the head. I think it is quite convenient, and the comfort level is better than the double-ear lanyards. After all The weight of this mask-type air purifier is too heavy, it is better not to abuse your ears. However, the design of wearing the lanyard up and down like this is not as convenient as the two-ear lanyard in terms of actual wearing and taking off. If you just want to drink water or coffee, just wearing it makes me feel a little troublesome.

The location design of the multi-function buttons is easy, but if your dominant hand is not the right hand, it will take some time to get used to it. It is more convenient. Although the App does not require you to register as a member before you can use it, if you can simply complete the operation functions on the product, it will be a more convenient design for users. It's the main sale item, not the App.

The transparent mask shell design, according to Razer's official introduction, is to allow the other party to see their facial expressions, and with lighting, it can also make you brighter in darker places (not advertising...) But honestly I I can accept the external light to be turned on, but the internal light is really a tasteless design. Of course, if you want to find something in a darker environment, it is another matter. After all, it also has a slight lighting effect.

As for the battery life, I turned on the low-speed fan and internal and external lights after fully charged, and set the light brightness to 50%. After about 2 hours and 15 minutes of use, the power displayed by the App is just 50% left. , Since there is not much time for the test to turn off the lights, please wait patiently for the test results. I will share with you after the test. It is a bit short in terms of battery life. If you want to use it for 8 hours a day If you want to look cool with the lights on, you may have to change to another mask to charge the Zephyr in the middle of the way to meet the standard daily work usage time.

I believe that many friends are also concerned about whether the fan noise of the Razer Zephyr will be loud? Brian also actually tested for everyone. From the video, we can see that when the fan is turned off, the noise value is about 39dB. When the high-speed fan is turned on, the noise value increases to about 51.6dB. When switching to low-speed fan operation, the noise value is It is about 41.7dB, but it is not difficult to find that the continuous sound when the fan is running is actually a bit annoying. Although it can be ignored in a noisy environment, it is actually a little obvious. I think this is what Razer will try to solve in the future. But only if...Razer keeps developing this product.

It took about a day for you to unpack and actually experience this high-profile Razer Zephyr mask-type air purifier. Let me share with you the advantages first. First of all, Zephyr is really handsome in design, especially Compared to the LG PuriCare, I myself still like the overall design of the Zephyr. In terms of wearing comfort, stability and operating experience, I also give positive comments, especially the upper and lower lanyards, which completely disperse the 204g weight of the mask body without losing airtightness. The fan can enhance air circulation. The chances of sultry heat and moisture appearing are also much reduced.
