The Xupermask has several LED lights on the front panel, as well as noise-cancelling Bluetooth earbuds that can be magnetically stored on the mask when not in use. It may not have the same understated sleek style of a Ralph Lauren face mask, but this oddly cool futuristic mask carves its own path as far as unexpected hybrids of personal hygiene and sci-fi inspired design goes. Look closely and you’ll spot the rapper and noted tech investor donning the Xupermask in the music video for his recent collaboration with Shakira, ‘Girl Like Me.’ If it looks familiar, that’s because Will.i.am has been spotted wearing one before. Pronounced “super mask”, the Xupermask is a futuristic face mask developed by Honeywell, a company known for producing air purifiers and PPE, and… The Black Eyed Peas’ frontman Will.i.am.



The Xupermask may come at a time when the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been, for now, successfully supressed in Australia – to the point where we have a confirmed travel bubble with New Zealand – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t needed for a post-COVID future.
