I'll be honest, I'd buy this for work. We're starting to have to double-mask, and speaking through several layers of mask is an inconvenience. If this has active filtration as claimed, I'd definitely use it to help push air through the inner mask, and use the "loudspeaker" element to better talk without feeling like I'm yelling. I'd definitely shut off the stupid RGB; that would be a distraction outside of holiday work (Halloween, Holidays, and 4oJ/VetDay), and still a bit of a drain on whatever limited battery life this thing will have.
