A company has introduced a special microphone. The device is worn directly over your mouth. This is supposed to prevent others from hearing your speech.
Do you love to shout or make noise while gaming and then have parents, friends, or neighbors at your door complaining about the noise? That could soon change.
Because the company Shiftall has introduced the microphone “mutalk”. You wear it directly over your mouth and it is meant to make it harder for others to hear your voice. MeinMMO presents this strange device.
Microphone is strapped over the mouth and is supposed to swallow sounds
What kind of device is it? “mutalk” has been introduced by Shiftall as a soundproof Bluetooth microphone, “which makes it difficult for others to hear your voice, while also preventing ambient noise from entering the microphone.”
The manufacturer explains that the device has been developed for situations like offices or gaming (via shiftall.net). Because soundproof boxes or wall insulation cost a lot of money. The manufacturer states: “The soundproof Bluetooth microphone ‘mutalk’ is an affordable and space-saving solution for this problem.”
How does the device work? Mutalk is worn directly over the mouth and secured with straps around the head. This way your hands are free. Additionally, headphones can be connected to the device.

Mutalk is not the first microphone of its kind on the market
With the device Hushme Classic, there is already a microphone that is also worn over the mouth, just like mutalk. Hushme Classic also features a wireless connection and the ability to connect your own headphones. Furthermore, the Hushme model is supposed to offer 10 hours of battery life, which is somewhat more than mutalk.
