Xiaomi's powerful air pollution beating face mask comes with a tiny air purifier

Xiaomi’s just launched a product that is everything India needs right now, but is unlikely to come here anytime soon.

Continuing its spree of product launches, Xiaomi has now unveiled an air mask in China. You can easily tell this air mask from others as Xiaomi’s carries a small air purifier attached to the mask. The launch comes at a time when Indians are increasingly purchasing air purifiers and masks in the light of severe air quality at many places.

The mask is made of high-fibre textile with a hand-woven finish. There's a detachable air filter that can capture PM2.5 particulates and also has a tiny fan to regulate the airflow. The filter's battery (to run the fan) can be recharged over a USB connection.

The company also launched the Piston Pro in-ear earphones. The Piston 3 Pro comes with a "diamond-cut aluminum sound chamber", and its earbuds have been bent to 45-degree for improved fit. The company says the Piston Pro sounds more natural thanks to the including of something called double coils and a moving piston.

The Piston Pro earphones are priced at 149 Yuan ($21), whereas the mask costs 89 Yuan ($13). Both of them will be available to purchase on China’s big Singles’ day online sale on Nov. 11. Over the past two weeks, Xiaomi has launched a range of products including the Mi Portable Mouse, a Lego-like toy robot, and an air purifier.
