Customer Ratings & Reviews

Never knew how much I would enjoy bundling sunglasses with audio. I remember my sunglasses 99% of the time but always forget to bring my earbuds on my dog walks or just being out and about. The Lucyd brings both sunglasses and speakers into one. In the box, it comes with everything you need. A nice carrying case, lens cleaning cloth, charging cables and wall adapter. The charging cable appears to be proprietary so make sure not to misplace those. Initial setup is straight forward but I ran into technical difficulties where the Luycd would appear twice in my Bluetooth list on my iPhone and only playing music in one ear or the other. I knocked a rating star down for this. After a few days of communicating with tech support, it appears that the factory missed a step on making sure the left temple was paired with the right temple before reaching consumers. Once I was able to pair the left temple to the right temple, pairing the right temple to my phone was as easy as any other Bluetooth speaker out there. And yes, each temple of the glasses has their own power on/off buttons. You have to long press both buttons on each temple simultaneously to turn them on and off. Sound quality was a bit disappointing. It does the job of listening to music and taking calls but don’t expect any dynamics or bass out of the tiny speakers. It’s also not bone conducting. If you sit close to someone else, they will be able to hear what you’re listening to. It is in stereo sound but just don’t expect them to replace your AirPods or similar nicer sounding earbuds for serious listening. I do appreciate the open ear concept so I can hear traffic, etc but the speakers are tiny and therefore doesn’t have the volume to overcome loud background noises. Works great in a quiet neighborhood but good luck if you’re walking in the city or near a busy street. I did take a few calls with the Lucyd and the people on the other line couldn’t tell between my sunglasses or earbuds. I would consider that to be a huge win on the microphone department. The fit and adjustments can be a hit or miss. The temples on my “Starseeker” model doesn’t have the flex hinges so it sits tight against my head at first. Read a few tips online to use the nose bridge to bend the temples out to your liking. The temples are larger than regular as it houses the battery and speaker. It does hide well and only a keen eye can tell you’re not wearing regular sunglasses. I also picked the “Starseeker” for adjustable nose pads. Lens appears to be glass or a very plastic. I couldn’t tell but feels premium. Love the polarized lenses for outdoors but good luck glancing at other electronic displays in your car. In summary, I do recommend someone that wants to listen to tunes or take a call while they are outside enjoying a sunny day. It’s not the best fitting glasses nor the best sounding headphones so take that into consideration on the nuances of combining them both. Things I would like to see improved on is some kind of battery gauge or verbal communication on battery level. It’s rated for 12hours but I have no idea in between on how much power is left.

I’ve been really excited about audio sunglasses and have had the opportunity to try multiple brands over the last few years. Let’s start with the positives of the Lucyd Lyte - Starseekers. - Build quality and design are excellent. While style is subjective, I really like the way these glasses look. There is no major cracking or creaking with the hinges and the nose pads are very comfortable. The IP-56 water resistance provides peace of mind when you’re sweating or if you were to get splashed by the pool. - They are easy to pair with your phone (or other Bluetooth device) and do so quickly each subsequent time they are powered on. - The lenses are polarized! This is a huge selling point for me as I really like wearing sunglasses in the car and this greatly cuts down on windshield glare. - The folding hard case is awesome. It does a great job of protecting the glasses and folds flat for easy storage when not in use. The aforementioned positives and high hopes of quality audio are what have kept me coming back and trying audio sunglasses over and over. This is also where all previous brands that I’ve tried, and Lucyd, fall short. While the Lucyd Lyte - Starseekers have “Quadrasonic sound” (aka four speakers), they simply do not get loud enough for anything other than walking. The audio quality is also pretty poor. Tinny is probably the best descriptor. This has always surprised me as small speakers with plenty of volume and reasonable sound quality exist - just look at most flagship smartphones at this point. Anyway, to charge these glasses you need a proprietary charger. Not that it’s the end of the world to carry multiple chargers, but it is definitely a deterrent to using these glasses if I were to forget it. In their current form, I can’t say I’d really recommend the Lucyd Lyte - Starseekers or any audio sunglasses for that matter. Buy a nice pair of polarized sunglasses and carry a portable speaker with you instead.

There's so much to say about the Lucyd Lyte Starseekers. They are stylish sunglasses and they fit nicely and don't slip off easily. I was able to easily charge the sunglasses in about 2 hours for a full charge. I went for a walk to test them and the sound quality is ok while walking around. I wish there was a little more bass using the app, but it's not bad. The negative I would mention is if you're in a crowded area, music can be difficult to hear as the volume is limited. Despite this, the sound quality is good considering how tiny the speakers are. I do like there's 2 set of speakers; one speaker located near the front of your ear and the other speaker located behind your ear. It does offer a nice balance. That being said, there could have been more to make this better. Other than making the volume louder, I wish the tint was darker on the lenses, but that's my personal preference. My other issue is you have to be careful when you accidentally touch the sunglasses. I have accidentally paused and skipped songs as I'm just adjusting the glasses. So, I will admit the Starseeker isn't ideal for everyone, it's nice and it'll fit for the right person.
