When he saw a sea of face masks around Budapest, Hungarian orchestra conductor Ivan Fischer had an idea; turn an unpopular pandemic necessity into a tool of music appreciation.

Fischer’s music-enhancing face mask has two plastic cups shaped liked life-size palms attached to the mask’s strings and designed to fit around the wearer’s ears, allowing concertgoers in the age of coronavirus to enjoy improved acoustics.

Speaking as the orchestra rehearsed for an evening of Beethoven and Strauss, Fischer - the chief of the Budapest Festival Orchestra - said his masks help to emulate church acoustics, with warmer undertones and clearer, sharper contours. The acoustic mask, which costs 8,000 forints if ordered through the orchestra’s website, comes in glittery and black and white versions.

Were I to visit my younger self in the 1980s, and I explained that this is the future - I think young me would fall into a deep depression. Current me just accepts his fate.

Certainly works, just as cupped hands do, but might block the view a little. 🤔

Plastic? Does Greta approve?

Aren't you ashamed at all?

Don't think so you dummies.

🤡🤡🤡

Oh, that is Excellent! I love where this is going. Is this like the blood on the doorknob thing or whatever? Some kind of Secret code , obviously .

And Disney files for copyright infringement on the count of everyone looking like mickey mouse. World class action lawsuit ensues.

More plastic. Exactly what the world needs.

I need this just so i can understand the cashier at my gas station

Noup. Gona say it: Plastic is terible for acustics, far too much resonance. We use wood for a reason in audio aplications. This sucks and your story sucks. :)

Sorry, I think I’ll just go with missing a few notes. I would never wear that!

Super cute

Enough of this mask-porn.

I clicked to see what it looks like so others won't have to

Smart

Would you wear one?
