Im not gonna fuckin lie, I looked into buying one of these FOR WEEKS cus of my college dorm.
250 something dollars. Im good.
250 is ridiculous, just buy a lavalier mic and put a face mask on at that point
A regular facemask won't dampen sound much though.
This, Im impulsive as shit, so just "Shutting up" aint gonna work like that sadly. The only other option is soundproofing the shit outta my room.
Stuff 3 socks in mouth first.
That is way too expensive for a product like this, that also might not work for its intended use (if their nose isn't fully covered like in the picture, I'd expect the screaming to leak out quite a bit. Might've worked for my idea of using it for call privacy (speaking softly) but still that's way too much for something that'll probably only be useful for that niche use-case.
