I've had mine for almost two months now and waited to review till they'd been tested and proven worth it. They're hands down worth every bit of what I spent on them! Hate if you want but they come in handy in so many everyday activities including work, yardwork, gaming or just scrolling through the phone and watching TV (Def. Less eye strain). The sounds is superb with gaming mode, and enhanced clarity to help (customizable gestures as well with in app control) It's amazing to be able to wear these and not have to put my music on pause when conversing with other people. Also helps when hanging out with the wife and she's watching her shows... my phone doesn't have to be blaring out loud drowning out her TV time. They are comfortable as well. It's pretty dope to be in a meeting listening to some Rod wave but they don't even know. Oh yeah almost forgot if you do buy them.. get them through best buy. That geek squad insurance is always worth it... peace of mind if they break within that 2 year window. #YouGetWhatYouPayFor considering ive paid just as much for my Oakley sutro's which are great but do less. P.S. the battery life is true to what it says it will last to and only takes 30 -45 mins to get a full charge after (give you a break from them for a bit during the meantime).

Love the open ear design! It let's me listen to what's playing on my smart phone and my surroundings at the same time! Goodbye regular headphones! No more inner ear aches for me. The sound at first use is kinda low, but after the firmware update... the sound became much fuller and louder! I can even hear a fair amount of bass! Other people cannot really hear what you're listening to below 50% volume and that is perfect volume for me. It is similar to regular headphones when the volume is cranked up so much, eventually other people that are close to you can hear it as well. Don't remove the rubber at the end of the temple tips, it helps a lot from sliding off. Weight is not a problem at all, it is so light and doesn't hurt the top of my ears on prolonged use. Gesture controls needs a bit of practice. There is no one tap gesture. The first gesture is more like to press and hold for a sec for it to work. Charging is quick! As for the lens, i can tell there is blue light protection indeed, while the spare lens are polarized. I usually return items that don't make sense, but this one is a keeper! Thank you Razer for making this product at a very reasonable price!!! Now let's see you make Smart AR Glasses that will beat Vuzix Shield! ^-^

The Razer Anzu smart glasses combine two really functional products into one, that obviously being glasses and an audio device. While this isn’t a new concept, Razer excels in a few key areas. Build quality of the glasses themselves and the case is incredible. A leather case was absolutely the right choice, and the felt liner inside is soft so you know it won’t scratch the glasses. Not to mention the secret pouch that houses the charging cable. Love that. While plastic, the glasses and lenses still feel durable. It’s a nice touch that you can get prescription lenses for these. The hinges appear to be made of metal and open wide to accommodate a wide range of head shapes and sizes. Controls work via touch, so there’s no physical button that will wear out on you. Their IPX4 rating can also protect against splashing water if you find yourself caught in the rain or a little too close to a pool or lake. Battery life is also surprisingly good. On my 45 minute evening walks, they only use about 15% battery life at max volume playing a mix of podcasts and music. It is truly incredible that they’ve fit this much into a package that only weighs 1.5oz, or just under 43g. 43g feels like nothing on your face, and I really think that is my favorite feature of the Anzus. You could wear these all day. All of the above being said, a light pair of glasses has got to have some drawbacks. In this particular case, the areas that could use improvement are the microphone and the speakers. While both are adequate, they’re nothing to brag about. The mic picks up background noise very easily. When I’ve used the glasses for phone calls, the person I was talking to could hear wind and other background noises, which they commented on. And the speakers sound, well, cheap. Vocals and mids sound a bit tinny and bass is basically non-existent. Volume is another issue. If there is consistent background noise, good luck hearing pretty much anything, even at max volume. If you’re inside working on your computer in a secluded space, these issues are mute. However, swap to the polarized lenses and go near a busy road and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. These audio issues keep me from trying them out for gaming. I’d recommend sticking to a dedicated gaming headset. The last thing I want to touch on is the Anzu app. Not much to say here other than it works very well. It’s simple, easy to navigate, shows battery levels, allows you to remap gestures, and change audio profiles. I look forward to seeing what additional features Razer adds in the future. My final thoughts are that these glasses are generally nice for everyday use. Razer definitely put some thought and premium material touches into their design. However, if you want quality audio and a really nice mic, I’d maybe wait for the next generation.
