Even Realities G2 for $599: We person not afloat reviewed the Even Realities G2 yet—we person spent a small clip with the hardware but are awaiting a medicine exemplary for due testing. There are a fewer bugs with the software, but Even Realities' second-gen glasses are impressive. Thin, light, and easy passable for modular glasses, these don't person a camera oregon speaker; instead, they absorption connected extending your smartphone with the show and microphone. The projected surface is 75 percent larger than the archetypal G1, and you tin thumb the R1 astute ringing (separate purchase) to navigate the interface. You tin spot your notifications, construe real-time conversations, spot navigation instructions, pin to-do lists, and speech to the company's Even AI adjunct astir anything.

RayNeo Air 3s Pro for $299: TCL-owned RayNeo offers galore models, and I've tested several. The latest Air 3s Pro glasses boast a 201-inch virtual surface (1080p, 120 Hz, 1200 nits), but the 46-degree tract of presumption lets it down a little. Both colour vibrancy and brightness connection large upgrades implicit erstwhile releases, similar the Air 2s and the older TCL RayNeo Air 2 XR Glasses, and you tin conscionable astir spot the full surface intelligibly (even aft adjusting, I had to descent them down my chemoreceptor a small to debar blurring astatine the bottom). You volition besides request the lens shadiness to usage them successful brighter environments. While they are cheaper than our different virtual surface picks, I recovered them inferior successful design, fit, and comfort. Rayneo has added immoderate much on-device options, including spatial sound, but it didn't enactment good for me, though the modular dependable is fine. RayNeo’s software, required for 3 DoF, is inactive buggy and unpolished. This is simply a bully virtual surface for the money, and perfectly suitable for watching movies and airy gaming, but if you privation much from your astute glasses, I'd prime a antithetic pair.

Chamelo Music Shield for $260: With a chill touch-control tint capableness that enables you to set for the conditions, and built-in Bluetooth speakers for music, the Chamelo Music Shield could beryllium up your sporty street. You tin instrumentality these dimmable glasses from 17 to 63 percent airy transmittance (almost wide to mirrored) by sliding your digit on the close temple. The dependable prime is decent for glasses, but adjacent inexpensive wireless earbuds dependable better, and these are connected the pricey broadside for their constricted functionality.

Lucyd Reebok Octane for $199: Designed successful concern with Reebok for cyclists and runners, these lightweight Bluetooth sunglasses diagnostic metallic polarized lenses, bully prime speakers, and 8-hour artillery life. I enjoyed listening to euphony and podcasts portion hiking, and I similar that you tin perceive the satellite astir you. The dependable leakage isn’t excessively bad, truthful you won’t fuss the radical you pass. They besides person carnal controls that are overmuch easier to usage than interaction controls, adjacent erstwhile your hands are bedewed (they’re water-resistant, too). You tin instrumentality calls, get directions, and inquire your preferred AI adjunct questions. Lucyd has been making Bluetooth sunglasses for respective years present and offers a wide scope of antithetic styles. We besides tried the Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sunglasses a mates of years ago.

Rokid Max 2 Glasses for $429: The Spider-Man benignant lenses springiness these comfy astute glasses a spot of character, though they won’t beryllium to everyone’s taste. They task a 215-inch surface (1080p, 120 Hz, 600 nits, 50-degree FoV) and boast diopter dials for absorption adjustments, but I struggled to destruct blurring astir the edges, and alternatively of stylish electrochromic dimming, there’s a clip-on integrative blackout shield. I besides tried the Rokid Station 2, which adds an Android TV interface to entree amusement apps, but besides a trackpad and an aerial rodent for easier control. The archetypal Rokid Station was a much basal portable Android TV.

Don’t Bother

Here's the eyewear that fell short.

Halliday Glasses for $499: While these could astir walk for chunky regular glasses, with a clever ringing controller and a tiny unobtrusive display, I tin confidently accidental they are not the aboriginal of astute glasses. After spending respective uncomfortable hours trying to set the show to beryllium readable, each I got was a headache. The ringing seemed similar a astute idea, but it’s big, ugly, plastic, laggy, and frustrating to use. The eavesdropping AI is slow, and squinting up to effort and spot the screeds of useless substance it churns retired is really painful. The dependable prime and artillery beingness are arsenic awful.

Amazon Echo Frames for $300: The Amazon Echo Frames (3/10, WIRED Review) are a spot aged now, but you tin inactive acquisition them. Too atrocious they don’t bash much. They enactment arsenic sunglasses, filter bluish light, and are IPX4-rated. Tech-wise, they person a talker and microphone successful each temple, and you tin usage them to query oregon bid Alexa, arsenic you would with a astute speaker, but determination are nary cameras here, making them acold little susceptible than the likewise priced Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

Asus AirVision M1 for $399: I was excited to spot Asus motorboat astute glasses, but the deficiency of fanfare was a reddish flag. My archetypal impressions of the lightweight plan were promising, and the M1 offers up to a 100-inch virtual show and awesome 1,100 nits brightness. Designed to plug into your phone, laptop, PC, oregon handheld gaming device, similar the ROG Ally, via USB-C, the M1 besides features built-in speakers and a microphone. Sadly, the refresh complaint maxes retired astatine 72 Hz and is constricted to 60 Hz unless you employment the Airvision software, which besides enables you to prime antithetic modes (working, gaming, infinity), tweak surface position, and acceptable interpupillary region (IPD). I recovered the in-focus saccharine spot was small, and astir of my virtual surface was blurry, nary substance however I tweaked the settings, making them uncomfortable to use, particularly for work. There’s besides a basal integrative shield to artifact light, alternatively than electrochromic dimming, and the talker prime is decidedly average, leaving maine puzzled astir wherefore the terms is truthful high.

Solos AirGo Vision for $299: With a built-in AI adjunct powered by ChatGPT, the Solos AirGo Vision adds a camera connected apical of the Bluetooth-connected speakers successful the remainder of its range. Grant it unfettered entree to your determination and photograph library, and it tin picture what you are seeing. The astir evident usage cases are translation and navigation, though I’m not convinced astir the accuracy of its suggestions. The plan is interesting, with chunky temples lodging the smarts and interchangeable frames. There’s nary virtual surface oregon HUD, but you tin get medicine lenses, and they look comparatively normal. Sadly, the photograph and audio prime are horrible, and the interaction controls are frustratingly finicky. The app is besides powerfulness bare and demands excessively galore permissions. The Ray-Ban Meta glasses bash the aforesaid things better.
