    These are strangely amazing to have. If they could be about 10% louder I'd have no real complaints. I love wearing them during work with the blue lens filter, and the ability to have some music and still hear everything, and tossing in the shades for going out on a walk.

    The best part about these HAS TO BE the fact that they’re often on sale for $60 now, making them a no brainer over other smart glasses since the only thing for that price you find nowadays are strange Amazon listings. For $60 these are an absolute steal. For the $200 they usually cost, I’d rather just save up for the Bose Frames, Ray-Ban’s Stories, Amazon Echo Frames, or the Ampere Dusk

    Years later at 40 dollars on amazon, these make a whole lot of sense.

    Just go my pair today. I enjoyed your video and review. I only wish that Razer would have included an alternative way to turn off the glasses. I was going to use these at the office for the blue light filtering, and then when on break, listen to some tunes. Unfortunately, it seems the glasses will remain on all the time, which would waste the battery too soon. It would have been nice to have that on/off option aside from just closing the arms. Still, they seem like an awesome pair of glasses. I got the combo that came with the sunglass lenses as well. We'll see how it goes. Cheers!

I find that frames are often that price without the lenses, and my lenses can cost that amount alone, easily. If Razer give a discount for lenses I doubt it would be for 3 or 400 dollars. As I said, great video and , as always, your video's are totally professional and enjoyable.
