Dyson, the company known for making expensive vacuum cleaners and fans, has introduced a set of headphones that incorporates a removable air filter that they call a "travel visor". Fans in the earcups feed a stylized bar that goes across the face from earcup to earcup, covering (loosely) the mouth and nose. Filters in the earcups clean the air that is then blown toward the mouth and nose. According to Dyson, you can "breath pure air with the travel visor." I'm not kidding--here is a link:

Of course, from the practical point of view, this is an outright scam. The "travel visor" does not actually seal off the mouth and nose, and so has no ability to protect the user from the environment around them.
