While the regular Razer Zephyr features heavy-duty [N95 grade filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask) and a futuristic black design, the Zephyr Pro boasts additional style-focused and convenience-focused features over its predecessor. The Zephyr Pro features Chroma RGB-lined intake valves that support 16.7 million color options as well as a togglable [voice amplification feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bling-by-braindeck) that can increase the wearer's voice by as much as 60 decibels. The Zephyr Pro hopes to have comparable weight and battery life to its predecessor, which weighed 206.1 grams and had six-hour sustainable battery life.
