    • An Absolute Game Changer!
Style: Alto M/L Pattern Name: Sunglasses
As someone who can't stand traditional headphones, these frames have been a game-changer for me. Pros: - Clear audio with great sound quality. - Easy for me to hear, difficult for others to hear without getting way too close into my personal bubble - Extremely comfortable. Earbuds hurt my ears and over-the-ear headphones give me a headache after a few minutes, so these are a perfect solution. The M/L size fits my giant head without being tight! - Stylish look with easy-to-change frames. (I wear clear frames since I mostly wear them indoors) - Easy to turn off and save that precious battery life without even having to think about it. Just flip them upside down and you're good to go Cons: - The battery life... It only lasts about 4 hours. - The charging cable is insanely short. And it's not the easiest to buy separately. - No wireless charging. I'd love to just be able to set them down and let them recharge. Since these frames are relatively new, I'm hoping we'll see the technology take leaps and bounds forward. But even now, they're still a fantastic purchase that I absolutely love. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is active likes to be outdoors and enjoys music. I feel like Iโ€™m always listening to music so finally having headphones that donโ€™t remove me from a conversation or make me seem rude. Is everything to me. The battery life on these is about 3 1/2 hours while playing music. You can also receive phone calls on it. It takes normally about two hours to charge in the charger is proprietary so be careful not to lose it. I would recommend ordering a second one just to have a back up because like I said, nothing else will charge this device. I also like the way the frames fit on my face Iโ€™m 6 foot six 200 pound guy and would recommend the medium to large frames for anyone out there of my size and stature with a larger face. The sound quality is amazing as always, and it really is crazy to be able to have a dance party and no one else can really hear your music. There is a quiet buzz of sound when you are listening if youโ€™re in a quiet place, but nothing thatโ€™s disruptive. ... show more

First I'm going to use this review to dispel a couple of rumors and outright false things I've read in other reviews of this. #1. I wear these on croakies or a lanyard or whatever you want to call it and am constantly hanging them around my neck. It is true that you turn these upside down to turn them off, but they will not turn off while hanging around your neck...ever. #2 These of course have very little bass, But that's to be expected because the base comes from the ceiling of the earbud with your ear canal, it's able to produce that base like effect. With these angling speakers directly towards your ear canal if you know anything about audio there's no way to expect a high level of bass in any song whatsoever. That said, they sound amazing. 3. I can hear the outside world even when these are turned up the level 10, I do people's pools for a living and when I'm cleaning the pool and have these going, if they step outside and yell to me I hear them every single time and I'm able to easily press the button on the frame to pause the music and begin the conversation. I only have one gripe about these. If you wear them with a hat or a beanie, they will make the very top of your ear right next to where it's connected to your head feel a little bit of pain due to being pushing down on the glasses. It's just a little uncomfortable and I'm able to get through it the whole day without having to take it off because it's too painful. The battery life's kind of weak too. After about 5 or 6 hours, it dies and I have to plug it in to my carport but within 30 45 minutes I arrive at my next pool and they are at 100% and ready to go for the rest of the day. Totally worth it. Don't listen all these negative reviews. They either are making assumptions, speculating or had an anomalous experience that wouldn't be replicated in 99% of the people who buy these. I highly recommend these for ANYONE and EVERYONE who wants to enjoy their music while still ALWAYS being available to the outside world.. while being stylish AF at the same time๐Ÿ˜Ž ... show more

    • Amazing sound and comfort - but buy the insurance plan! They are fragile
Style: Alto M/L Pattern Name: Sunglasses
I love these. This is pair number 4 in two years. I wear them walking the dog and can hear cars and people while still enjoying a podcast. No one else can hear it - just me. Listening to music while shopping the farmers' market. Asking Google about my next meeting while waiting at the post office. Awesome. I even bought the mirror lenses cause I am a child of the 70s. However, the first three pairs all stopped working. No sign, no visible damage. Literally, one day I put them on and nothing. So, buy that replacement policy and enjoy them. They are far better than any similar product I've heard. But they do break. A lot. ... show more
