noisy environments like plains, trains and rideshares.
I dunno. Plains are usually pretty isolated and quiet.

I'm out here, on the plains minding my business and this mf sitting out on the grass won't shutup.
Not if I am there, specially if I am there with my mother.
Personally, I exclusively travel by fancies only.
A product that will allow me to stop hearing loud phone talkers in public? Awesome. Now can I please get a cannon that will fire these onto people’s faces? That’d be greeeeat
I've found joining in the conversation works 80% of the time .15% they complain, but it still works. The 5% can get awkward, unless you're really up for making a new, highly extroverted friend!
I sometimes do this with people walking past my house yammering to someone on their phone. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood and people go out for their walks and just YELL into their headpieces, sometimes with foul language, like they’re in their own world.
But with that asshole on the train I need to be in for the next 40 minutes, it’s a little more awkward.
It's a ball-gag that uses NFC to communicate with their smart butt plug.
Too far for NFC unless your head's up your ass
That was the joke :(
I am continuing your joke :P
It is yours now 🙌
Yay! \o/
Honestly I am tempting to get one, we will see how they advance and if they lower prices because the ones I saw were plenty expensive.
I just need something mostly for the nights when gaming as my voice tends to involuntary rise when playing with people. That and maybe if I say weird/nasty stuff to friends that somebody could hear.....and specially without context could sound terrible.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Skyted, a Toulouse, France-based startup founded by former Airbus VP Stéphane Hersen and acoustical engineer Frank Simon, is bringing what look like a pair of human muzzles to CES 2024.
Skyted’s masks are built from sound-dampening material that Simon developed while at ONERA, the French aerospace lab — originally for jet engines.
They sync (via wire or wirelessly) to a smartphone app that offers a pass-through toggle to pipe speech through the phone’s speaker — minimizing the need to remove the mask.
On its website, Skyted advertises… unusual in-app features like a “voice awareness” mode that lets parents quiet their noisy mask-donning kids while they’re playing video games.
Skyted, in fact, pitches the masks as a more “immersive” way to play games and even has a section of its website dedicated to defense and military applications.
The scattershot go-to-market — coupled with the eye-watering $299 starting price and low-tech competition — doesn’t bode well for Skyted’s upcoming Kickstarter.

In ~~space~~ voice frequency absorber mask no one can hear you scream!
I see the old movie kidnapping scene happening but sith this mask instead of a cupped hand to mute the victim
Yeah, I’m unaware how loud I’m being when gaming on voice chat, this would be nice if it were a lower price
Can't wait to see ceos wearing muzzles.

I want to pipe this through a voice changer so I can sound like Darth Vader to anyone I talk to.
Now we need this in the bondage muzzle version
