You’ll receive the sunglasses, cleaning cloth, wall adapter, dual-tip magnetic USB charging cable, rigid leatherette case, a microfiber soft satchel case, and a quickstart guides. These are the second generation 2.0 glasses in the Eclipse style. The Bluetooth protocol has been upgraded to 5.2 with a 100-foot range and even lower latency than the previous version.
These glasses weigh 40 grams, or around 1.4 oz, so are pretty lightweight considering the amount of technology packed inside. The lenses are 52mm wide with an 18mm bridge, 145mm temple length, and 135mm overall width. The hinges don’t flex outwards and the nose pads are fixed and cannot be adjusted. However, I still found them to be fairly comfortable for all day wear. The glasses are IP56 waterproof rated and can get a little wet without a problem. You can customize the lenses with a number of colors/shades including blue light filtering and prescription lenses. I have UV400 polarized lenses with a black gradient tint. Personally, I found the color shifting from the top to bottom of the lens to be slightly distracting. Fortunately, non-prescription lenses can be swapped by hand if you decide to change them.
Store these in either the soft drawstring bag or foldable case, which unfolds into a sturdy pyramid shape with felt lining inside. When collapsed, the case is about a ½ inch thick so slim enough to slip into a pocket. The charging cable has two magnetic connectors, so you can charge both arms or earpieces at the same time. The magnets on the 2.0 version are stronger than the original’s and adhere firmly to the charging contacts without shaking loose easily. While charging, the discreet status LEDs on the interior of the arm are red and shut off when fully charged. Disconnecting the cable from the arms automatically powers them on; similarly, when connecting the cable, they will shut off. The batteries for this pair are rated to last around 12 hours depending on your listening volume, and I was able to use them all day at medium volume without needing to charge them. However, the glasses won’t tell you how much battery life you have left until they’re nearly out.
You can also power them on manually with the silver multi-function button. Once both sides are on they will pair with each other, then enter Bluetooth pairing mode. These work like any typical pair of Bluetooth headphones. You can stream audio from your phone and make hands-free calls using the dual noise-cancelling microphones. The multi-function buttons are the playback controls for volume, play/pause, and track skipping using single, double, or triple taps respectively. You can also launch a voice assistant like Siri, Alexa, or Google by holding either button for 2 seconds.
There are three output speakers that allow the sound to envelop your ears and sound three dimensional and less flat. Since there is nothing in or on your ears, this lets you listen to your music and stay aware of your environment and surroundings. The audio quality is surprisingly good for an open-ear design with such small drivers. While you won’t get much bass, the sound is smooth and well-rounded. It sometimes sounds a little distant though with crunchy trebles, but I didn’t think they sounded overly tinny or boxy like the original version. At higher volumes, the audio does distort a little bit, and even at low volumes I felt there was enough sound bleed that someone nearby would probably be able to hear what I’m listening to. If you don’t mind that, these can actually output a good amount of sound, and the audio syncing with video is lag-free. But remember, screens will probably look super dark with sunglasses on, though if you get transition, clear, or Rx lenses, that wouldn’t be a problem.
The Lucyd mobile app is simply used to link the glasses to chatGPT services. If you have an iOS device, you can interact with the bot completely hands-free by first activating Siri and using a wake word for the Lucyd app. Android users, however, will have to manually launch the app to ask any questions of the AI. This feature was working fine when I got these a couple months ago, but as of the posting of this video, the app is giving me an error without producing a response.
Overall, the updated 2.0 frames offer a great combination of function and style with its open ear design. These won’t give you an audiophile, immersive audio experience; however, the sound quality is adequate enough for music, podcasts, audiobooks, and hands-free calling while preserving environmental awareness. With the option to swap lenses on the fly for clear or transitions lenses, or even add a prescription to them, you’d also be able to use these indoors and for everyday wear.

I was about to purchase a pair of Lucyd sunglasses, but then I saw they only accept returns for store credit. If theu aren't willing to stand behind there product, don't expect me to purchase it.

[@Sheenifier]

Unless I misread the return policy on the website, it says reimbursement. It doesn't say full, but I'm assuming it is

[@RomiWadaKatsu]

For 300 bucks it's a hard sell compared to the new meta...

[@Sheenifier]

True, but the Meta has limited frame selections, is relatively bulkier than any of the Lucyd frames, and is actually cheaper depending on the frames you get. But the Meta has the benefit of a camera, a touchpad, I think better sound quality. So there are pros and cons

[@DropTheMag]

Could you provide a short or some sort of the mic quality? That was the main purpose I was hoping for in your review.
