Different Good Glasses We’ve Examined
We have examined a number of extra pairs of good glasses—some good and a few unhealthy.
Rokid Max 2 Glasses for $529: The Spider-Man fashion lenses give these comfy good glasses a little bit of character, although they received’t be to everybody’s style. They undertaking a 215-inch display (1,080p, 120 Hz, 600 nits, 50-degree FoV) and boast diopter dials for focus changes, however I struggled to remove blurring across the edges, and as a substitute of fashionable electrochromic dimming, there’s a clip-on plastic blackout defend. I additionally tried the Rokid Station 2 ($299), which provides an Android TV interface to entry leisure apps but additionally a trackpad and air mouse for simpler management. The unique Rokid Station ($139) is a extra fundamental moveable Android TV.
Even Realities G1 for $599: The Even Realities G1 Good Glasses (6/10, WIRED Evaluation) are maybe the closest good glasses with a projected HUD that would cross for normal glasses, however they don’t have cameras or audio system. WIRED reviewer Chris Haslam praised them as good glasses you’ll need to put on, with a vastly spectacular HUD projector that shows crisp, inexperienced digital textual content (640 x 200 pixels). They supply notifications and boast AI help for turn-by-turn navigation and audio language translation, however neither function works completely, and the Perplexity-powered AI service will be gradual to answer queries.
RayNeo Air 2S for $400: TCL-owned RayNeo has loads of fashions, and whereas the Air 2S glasses are cheaper than our different digital display picks, I discovered them inferior in design, match, and luxury. They provide a 201-inch digital display (1,080p, 120 Hz, 600 nits), however it’s blurry across the edges. RayNeo’s software program, required for 3 DoF, may be very buggy and unpolished. The 2S are solely barely higher than the older TCL RayNeo Air 2 XR Glasses (5/10, WIRED Evaluation) with enhanced sound, brightness, and adjustability, however they undergo the identical failings.
Amazon Echo Frames for $300: The Amazon Echo Frames (3/10, WIRED Evaluation) are a bit outdated now, however you may nonetheless buy them. Too unhealthy they don’t do a lot. They work as sun shades, filter blue gentle, and are IPX4-rated. Tech-wise, they’ve a speaker and microphone in every temple, and you need to use them to question or command Alexa, as you’ll with a sensible speaker, however there are not any cameras right here, making them far much less succesful than the equally priced Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sun shades for $149: The Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sun shades (7/10, WIRED Evaluation) are very similar to the Echo Frames, with a alternative of frames and lenses. They connect with your telephone and act like a Bluetooth headset, with audio system and microphones within the temples, enabling you to take heed to music, get audio instructions, and question your AI voice assistant.
