If you want a fun lighting effect, set both the inside and outside to use the breathing option with the same colors the pulsing option is really neat, too.

The exterior ring lights can mimic the breathing pattern, show a static color, display all the colors, or exhibit a wave effect in which the light ring seems to swirl and switches hues constantly. You can choose to show a static light, pick a pulsating pattern in two colors of your choice, or set it to cycle through its possible 16.8 million colors. The app also lets you control the fans, but you don't need it to turn them on and off. You must connect the Zephyr to your Android or iOS phone via Bluetooth to control the lights and check battery status. I ran mine down and got a little under those estimates for each setup. You can get three-and-a-half hours with the lights on and the fan set to high. If you don't use any lights and keep the fan on low, a single charge is supposed to last eight hours. The mask sports a USB-C port on the interior of its right side for charging. The sound from the fans can become irritating, and you can only buy it directly from Razer during select online drops, but so long as masks are still necessary in the coming years, the Zephyr is one of the most interesting and high-tech models you can buy. RGB lighting adds some pizzazz, while replaceable filters and integrated fans make it genuinely worthwhile for everyday use. That said, the mask is relatively affordable for all it offers and looks cool in a post-apocalyptic cosplay sort of way. At $99, the Razer Zephyr, now marketed as a Wearable Air Purifier, is about as far from gaming hardware as you can get. We're admittedly surprised that gaming hardware manufacturer Razer decided to produce the smart face mask it introduced at CES 2021 under the codename Project Hazel. And given the serious health implications of this product category, we no longer feel comfortable recommending the Zephyr, so we have removed our 3.5-star rating. In light of this, we have removed all N95 references from our original review from Novembelow. After being called out for misleading marketing, the company is removing all N95 references and released a statement that the Zephyr "by itself is not a medical device nor certified as an N95 mask."
