The only reference to this product I could find is this image, posted in a Reddit thread.. It could very well be a meme.

It has been shared to me via Discord.

Seems like you're right : no other sources but Reddit and FB. Most likely some humouristic meme.
 
The creator of this is very funny. Company name hits the nail on the head, maybe missing the word Research in there. The company’s slogan is “Premium Audio Placebo” very funny stuff.
 
Doesn't it say "Premium Audio Placebo" below the Acoustic-Lab logo? :D

On a serious note, humidity is known to affect the sound of brass instruments. And also the signal quality of wireless signals. In other words, air does have a measurable effect, even if at the minimum it changes the resonant frequency of the room.

Yet this effect is almost never brought up in discussions.

Maybe in a home audio setting, the effect is too small to notice.
 
Interview with Cable maker Black Rhodium founder Graham Nalty

"“We found, quite amazingly, that the more expensive it was to buy, say, a length of wire to make a cable, the better it sounded,” Nalty stated."

"say, a length of wire"
How about "say, adding Techflex sleeving in an attractive color"?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Where's your blind testing results then Graham?

Good to see the article points out that there are none.

Straddling the line between delusion and fraud?
