Dyson, the company best known for vacuum cleaners and hairdryers, has decided that they need to start making headphones. And the prototype is…odd.

Noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones go over the ears but then there’s an air purifier that fits over your nose and mouth. According to The Verge, it’s a “magnetic face visor.”

It’s called The Zone, although maybe a better name would be The Bane.

And it’s not too far off from the Stormtrooper.
