It can prevent the sound of the speaker's voice so that people nearby can't hear what is being said. It connects toyour phone by Bluetooth and comes with a pair of earplugs(耳塞).When you get a personal call all you have to do is put the mask on and it will do the rest. The pair of thick pads over your mouth does a good job of hiding your voice. To ensure nothing gets through, Hushme also has special speakers that play different kinds of sounds when you speak. Now the sounds played include wind, ocean, rain, birds, monkey, squirrel and a laughing Minion(小黄人).And new ones will be added in the future.The device is advertised as the “world's first voice mask for mobile phones".
