At CES 2023, Shiftall introduced an unusual Mutalk wireless microphone.
Outwardly, the gadget looks like a virtual reality headset, only it is put on not on the eyes, but on the mouth. The device completely closes the jaw and muffles the user’s speech and ambient noise.
An air pocket is created in the internal cavity, preventing sound from escaping. As a result, you will be heard without extraneous noise, and what you say will not be heard by other people nearby. Mutalk attenuates speech by an average of 20 dB, or up to 30 dB at loud volumes.
The device has a built-in battery that charges via USB-C. Works up to 8 hours without recharging, connects via Bluetooth or through a standard headset jack.
There is support for Windows, iOS and Android.
Mutalk costs as much as $200. It will go on sale this year.
