Razer Zephyr Wearable Air Purifier: Breathe the Future
First introduced at CES 2021 as Project Hazel, an award-winning concept, the Razer Zephyr is the latest evolution of a wearable air purifier inspired by the principles of staying safe, social and sustainable.
In August 2021, Razer reached out to its global community to beta-test the yet-to-be-launched Razer Zephyr. The program received widespread acclamation and an overwhelming number of sign-ups. Taking in comments and feedback from fans, the Razer Zephyr was designed to provide a smart, eco-friendly mask option.
FDA-registered and lab-tested for 99% BFE, the Razer Zephyr’s N95 grade filters with two-way protection last three times longer than single-use disposable masks and ensure that both breaths of air inhaled and exhaled are safeguarded. Engineered with active circulation, the Razer Zephyr comes equipped with two air exchange chambers that allow air to flow freely in and out of the wearable air purifier.
The Razer Zephyr is enhanced by a pair of 2-speed fans (4200/6200 RPM) that enable increased air circulation for even better cooling, providing freshly filtered air and increased comfort. To top it off, the Razer Zephyr provides seamless social interaction thanks to a transparent design with a layer of anti-fog coating and interior lights for clear facial expressions.
Powered by Razer Chroma RGB™, users can make a statement with the Razer Zephyr’s interior lights and fans that can be easily controlled via the Razer Zephyr app available for both iOS and Android. Designed with comfort and health in mind, a soft silicone face seal with a dual strap design ensures a tight seal over the mouth and nose, while its adjustable head and neck straps provide a secure, yet comfortable fit for all head sizes.
Built for a sustainable future, the Razer Zephyr’s N95 Grade filters maintain optimized filtration efficiency for up to three days, resulting in 80% less waste than single-use surgical masks.

The shoulder arches keep users angled in the ideal seating posture, while the wide seat base helps to spread weight evenly.
The exterior of the chair is encased in dual-textured, eco-friendly synthetic leather for refined comfort, and can withstand wear and tear for years of usage. This leather is manufactured using reduced energy consumption and carbon-emission processes, with no environmentally harmful solvents present in its production. The Razer Enki also comes with a high-quality, plush head cushion, which provides added support to the head and neck.
The Razer Enki will be available in Razer Green, Black and Quartz Pink, allowing gamers to take their personalized setups one step further.
Elevating this experience of all-day gaming comfort is the Razer Enki Pro. Displaying a Carbon-Fiber finish on the chair’s exterior, it is upholstered with premium Alcantara® and sustainable leatherette, with a dual-density backrest cushion for targeted back comfort. The Razer Enki Pro pulls out all the stops, taking all-day gaming comfort to the ultimate level.
For the value-conscious gamer, the Razer Enki X features the same design elements as the Razer Enki for essential all-day gaming comfort. Available in Razer Green, the Razer Enki X is armed with 2D armrests and a 152-degree recline and accommodates a multitude of sitting styles whether gamers want to sit up to focus or lean back and relax.
