Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Lucyd Lyte isn’t my first pair of Bluetooth audio sunglasses, but is my first experience with this brand. I chose that Starman frame style because I preferred the titanium wireframe over the chunkier plastic face frames. The glasses come with a leatherette semi-hard case, a microfiber satchel soft case, cleaning cloth, and dual magnetic-tip USB charger. At first glance I thought the glasses would be heavy, due to the chunky arms that contain the audio and Bluetooth components, however, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are lighter than they look at only 32 grams, or 1.1 oz. The glasses only come in one size but can be fitted with prescription lenses or a multitude of different color/finish lenses. The dimensions of the glasses are as follows: 138mm overall width, 51mm lens, 18mm bridge, and 155mm arm length. While I generally require a slightly wider overall frame, despite these glasses not having hinges that articulate outward, there was enough flex at the corners for me to wear these comfortably for long periods of time without feeling like the arms were pinching the sides of my head. The Starman also has adjustable nose pads for a comfortable fit. The lenses I got are UV400 polarized with a mirrored front finish and provide a decently darker viewing experience in bright sunlight, though aren’t as suitable indoors, potentially limiting where you can use them unless you get lighter colored or clear lenses. When you’re not using them, you can store them in the semi-hard case, which unfolds into a sturdy felt-lined pyramidal box; I love the case’s fold-flat design since it can be slipped into a jacket or back pocket while empty. These glasses use a proprietary split cable which has two magnetic connector tips, one for each arm of the glasses, since the “earpieces” actually operate separately, much like true wireless ear buds, rather than a unified set of headphones. However, I didn’t like how easily the magnetic tips would shake loose and disconnect from the charging contacts on one side while I was trying to line up and connect the tip on the other side. The magnets don’t seem strong enough to hold the connectors firmly in place while you’re manipulating the cable, which is made more difficult by the cable’s general inflexibility. This makes for a mildly frustrating experience trying to seat the charging cable quickly and consistently. When charging, the LED indicators on the outer side of the arm will be a solid red and shuts off after the units are fully charged. Since each earpiece has its own battery, note that they may finish charging at different times. As soon as the charger is disconnected from the earpiece, it will power on automatically, which I felt was a bit unnecessary, especially given how easily and often the charging contacts come loose and have to be re-attached. Thankfully, when the cable is reconnected the earpieces power off immediately to resume charging. To power the headphones on from the ‘off’ state, you’ll need to press and hold both silver buttons on the underside towards the front of each arm. Pressing only one of these buttons will only power on that side. Once both sides are on, they will automatically pair to one another, then enter pairing mode for connecting to your music/audio source. Since there’s no accompanying app for Lucyd, you can go directly into your device’s Bluetooth settings and select “Lucyd Lyte” from the list and pairing was quick and straightforward. These frames operate like any typical set of Bluetooth earphones with the ability to listen to music or answer and conduct hands-free calls through the built-in microphones. There’s a flashing blue LED on the outside of the arm while the earpieces are on, which makes them a bit more obvious as an electronic device versus normal sunglasses. The power buttons double as playback controls allowing you to start/pause audio with double presses, skip tracks forward and back with triple-presses, change the volume with short presses, as well as pickup, swap, or decline incoming phone calls. Call audio is clear from both ends and callers had no trouble hearing me when speaking at a normal volume. You can also activate a digital voice assistant like Siri or Google by holding either button for 2 seconds. Note that powering off either earpiece automatically turns off both. Since the speakers for these frames are not in your ears, but instead positioned on the underside of each arm of the sunglasses and angled projecting the sound into your ears, they won’t block out external sounds and create an immersive experience, but instead allow you to freely hear what’s going on around you for better situational awareness. The audio quality isn’t impressive though, with thin sounding tonal quality, distant soundstage, and general tinny-ness. There’s also a lack of bass reproduction and a ton of sound bleeding even at moderate volumes, so folks around you will be able to pickup what you’re listening to from a few feet away. The one thing these do well is put out a lot of sound for its size, more than enough for most listeners, but remember that goes for both you and those around you. If you plan on taking calls on these at higher volumes, it’s pretty much like putting the other party on speakerphone. While the sunglasses don’t announce the battery life upon powering up, in my phone’s Bluetooth devices list I can see an approximate percent remaining battery, and the battery seems to be quite long lasting as I’ve listened to over 5 hours of music and podcasts at medium/low volume, and it’s still showing about 50% battery. They also are great for watching video since the Bluetooth 5.0 protocol used performs with no lag or delay between the video and audio for an accurately synced viewing experience. Overall, these frames are a stylish and lightweight pair of sunglasses that offer wireless Bluetooth headphones in a slim discreet profile. While the audio quality isn’t the best for listening to music in its fullest truest form, they’re usable for that purpose as well as for hands-free calling, as long as you don’t mind folks around you listening in. These are great for podcasts and audiobooks where fidelity isn’t as important while I’m out an about on a sunny day, but for use in indoor spaces, I’d consider getting clear lenses as they’re fairly easy to swap out.

Lucyd - Lyte Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses - STARMAN I’m wearing some great, titanium framed, super light sunglasses (black polarized UV400) which are Bluetooth connected to my iPhone and Apple watch so I can listen to music or talk on the phone, No dangerous or awkward hand-eye coordination necessary to make it all work. My wife say they look cool as she wanders away with them for her morning walk. SETUP and OPERATION: Pairing was no more than unplugging from their unique charger (two magnetized plugs which readily attach to the arms) and placing my iPhone into Bluetooth pairing. Under 5 seconds and music is playing. All interactions with my phone are accomplished with easily found buttons located to the front and underside of each arm. One, two, or three presses or holding it down the button for various times manages everything you want to do with either MUSIC or PHONE CALLS. Couldn’t be easier. The voice assistant (SIRI) was also activated with a 2 second press. A walk-around need not be interrupted by looking down at your phone. PERFORMANCE: Eyeglasses? perfect. Sound? Adequate. These are wonderful for phone and podcasts. Voices are clear and callers were unaware of what device I was using. Music quality, however, is not up to the standards set by just about any earbuds or headphones I’ve used. The loss of bass is hard to ignore for me. Musical performances are quite listenable, simply not accurate in the bass which rolls off too quickly. SUMMARY: Lucyd has created a multipurpose device which somewhat defies categorizing. They’re headphone-like because they certainly deliver the sound to my ears. They’re an extension to my phones because I don’t need to drag my phone out of my pocket to answer it or to play music or a podcast. They are great sunglasses, both attractive are effective. Depending on your intended use, these are either a 5 or 3 star device.

I thought these would be a suitable alternative to earbuds for music listening and hands-free conversations. Included in the set are the glasses, USB charging cable and AC adapter, carrying case, and cleaning cloth. The fit and finish of the glasses are okay but not as stylish as high-end sunglasses. The one exception are the polarized lenses which are noticeably decent quality and do have a premium feel. There is a little flashing blue LED on the temple that flashes constantly when the glasses are powered on. It is not overly noticeable but will likely draw attention if attempting to be discreet. The temples power on independently from each other via small silver power buttons on each. If I only push one button, only that temple powers on. I originally thought the left temple was defective until I realized this. Oddly, pushing one button powers both temples off. Not sure if the odd power scheme is by design or if I got a defective pair. Sound quality is okay but somewhat disappointing. I can’t see myself using these regularly for listening to music. I knew there would be a tradeoff to listening to music openly versus through a sealed set of buds or headphones but didn’t expect it to be this drastic. The design just isn’t good for fidelity. Sound is flat with zero bass and no warmth whatsoever. I’m merely hearing the music rather than truly becoming immersed in it. I can't totally blame sound quality on the open design because I occasionally listen to music on my phone speakers and it sounds much better. Sound during phone conversations is a little better although the volume is lower than I’d prefer on my end. Callers on the other end however say I sound good. My voice is clear and a normal volume. The biggest drawback to using these for conversations is that both sides of the conversation can be heard by others close enough to you. That makes these good for private use but not so much in crowded public areas. Charging the glasses is often aggravating. Each temple has its own independent magnetic charging port that attaches to the charging cable via a Y-splitter. The small magnets that attach to the temples are weak and easily jostled free with the slightest cable movement. The charging cable is roughly 32-inches in length which sounds long but is actually short compared to average three-foot cable lengths. The length, Y-split design, and stiffness of the cable all contribute toward the magnetic attachments frequently popping free. The most aggravating part is each time a magnet disconnects, it causes the glasses to power on and reconnecting the magnet powers them off. It’s common for the glasses to power-cycle at least twice before I finally get them securely positioned to charge. Charging over USB is an option if preferred. I tried my best to warm up to the lucid lyte glasses, but they aren’t practical for me personally. The sound quality is too poor for any real music listening. I’d never choose these over my buds or headphones. I would use them primarily for wireless communications, but the dark polarized shades make them useless indoors and I’d be reluctant to use them outdoors due to the amount of sound that can heard by others. They could be a good option for daytime driving if the vehicle doesn’t have Bluetooth phone connectivity. The fold-flat collapsible magnetic carrying case is the biggest standout of the package. It is nicely designed, durable and folds completely flat when not in use. It’s a cool case and one of the best I’ve ever owned. But no one’s buying these glasses specifically for the case.

These are a nice looking pair of glasses with good sound (for the open design) and good performance. The build quality is solid, and they’re easy to use. But they have a limited application, and depends on your usage. Proprietary charger, likely a design requirement for all sunglasses/speaker devices, is a bit of a bummer. IN THE BOX You get a surprising amount of stuff in the box. You get the glasses, obviously, a charging cable, charging brick, glasses case, soft fabric sleeve, and microfiber cloth for cleaning the lenses. Definitely everything you need, I definitely appreciate which can fold flat when not in use, but offers sturdy protection. SETUP Pretty simple, much like any other Bluetooth device. You put it in pairing mode, and find them on your source (i.e. phone). You’ll need to charge them first, and the charging connections are similar to Apple’s Magsafe; it’s a magnet that attaches to the inside of both of the arms of the sunglasses. (the charging cable is like a Y, with the double end attached to each arm. The buttons are two silver stems that extend down from the arms. They’re more than just a raised button, which is nice and makes them easy to find by touch. And they are barely noticeable from a distance. Meaning no one can look at you wearing them and necessarily see them. The only rub about pairing, and later turning them on, is that you have to turn on both arms of the sunglasses. My guess is there’s a battery in each arm. Not a big deal, you can hold the buttons (you hold them for 6 seconds to turn on) as you’re putting them on your face. There’s audio word prompts letting you know when they’re powered on and off. BUILD QUALITY These are extremely light sunglasses. I didn’t weigh them, but they feel about the same as my Ray Bans in terms of weight. I found the build quality to be both, nice and cheap. I’m assuming some compromises had to be made to bring the weight down, notably with the use of plastic. The arms look kind of cheap, but not that bad, while the frames are thin metal and look attractive. Honestly, all-in-all, I’m impressed with the build quality, but I worry about durability in the long run. My Ray Bans have taken a beating over the years and they’ve held up well. I don’t imagine these would hold up as well, but that’s not necessarily surprising given the tech inside. FIT AND USE AS SUNGLASSES As pure sunglasses, I really like them. I think they look nice, and I like the shape of the frames. The arms are obviously thicker but they aren’t too distracting. My only issue in terms of fit is the length the arms. They are long enough for my big head, but the curve built in that would rest over your ears are a bit small. They won’t fall off my face, but when looking at them from the side while wearing them the curved part just doesn’t make it over my ears. If possible, I would try them on to see how well they fit first, before purchasing. Even for me, it’s not a dealbreaker, but I don’t know if it affects audio quality (I doubt it). SOUND PERFORMANCE, VOLUME, and PERSONS AROUND YOU I just want to issue a caveat that should be obvious, but you cannot expect these sunglasses, or really any audio sunglasses to offer the same performance of a cheap set of earbuds, let alone more expensive over the ear headphones. Bass response for example, depends on a tight seal in your ear. Obviously these are like mini speakers outside your ear, so there’s no seal. So there’s virtually no bass. However, I found the sound quality to be pretty good. The sound is crisp and clear. But don’t expect any heavy bass listening to club banger music. In terms of volume, it gets loud enough to hear, but again, with it being open you will get background noise from your surroundings. Most people walking out and about would probably prefer to hear external noise for safety reasons. You can carry on a conversation with someone with sound on, but it can be distracting to you as the user. Regarding other people hearing your music, in any relatively quiet setting (outside or in) they will hear it if they’re within a few feet. In my experience, when someone in my family wore them I couldn’t necessarily hear what they were hearing, I could just hear faint noise. THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING All-in-all, if you are in the market for audio sunglasses, Lucyd models are great options. They sound great (for what they are), they look good, offer good protection for your eyes, and have decent battery life. Plus the extras, like the case. However, FOR ME, I find them to be of little utility. I listen to podcasts/music when I’m out shopping or doing things around the house. If I am outside going on a walk with family, I’m typically not listening to anything. I also wear sunglasses a lot. But I found myself taking the sunglasses off my face when doing things when I listen to music (because I was inside). This had me wanting for my earbuds. When wearing them, I found that I don’t listen to music/podcasts with my sunglasses on a lot. To listen with these, I would be wearing sunglasses indoors that seemed weird to me. The best usage for me honestly, is on long road trips with my family where I can privately listen to a podcast that no one else in the car wants to hear. I can still hear them and what’s going on outside the car because of the openness of the sunglasses. But this is just my usage. You might operate entirely differently, it’s just something to consider when looking into the Lucyd Bluetooth sunglasses. If you’re outside a lot by yourself (whether walking on sunny days, or work outside, these would be great and eliminate the need to carry sunglasses AND headphones. But in no way does that distract from my perceived quality of the sunglasses, just a reminder that people have different tendencies and preferences that play a part in how useful a device might be for them. CONCLUSION These are a great pair of sunglasses, that are reasonably priced and offer solid audio performance. They are of limited use (outdoors when listening to audio content), but when using them they are a pleasure and are easy to use.

I was skeptical about Bluetooth glasses and with good reason. I'm used to putting speakers into or over my ears. I have tried Bluetooth attachments for my frames and really didn't care for them, as they weren't very stable. They wouldn't stay on among other things. Okay, okay. They were bulky. However, it seems that the folks at Lucyd.co have something here. I really love how they feel on y face and how they drape over my ears. The sound is high and that's a good & bad thing. There's really no chance of getting the bopping bass that I'd get from over the ear headphones or even true wireless earbuds. But what they do accomplish, is the comfort of a conversation, even on a windy day. If I felt the need to hear the person on the other end of the call, I simply placed my palm over one of my ears and the sound amplified as if I were inside a speaker-box. The music, again, could sound better, but I do like the clarity that does come through. I usually wear hoods, so I'm always getting a little extra from the speakers, seeing as they are kind of enclosed. I hate that I wear glasses, but these are prescription adaptive, so I can add the appropriate lenses, at my own cost and from my own optometrist. At least I do have that option. When jogging and lifting weights, I never feel like they're going to fall off. The easy-to-use button controls (self-explanatory) are just that. Super easy to use. From changing volume, music, taking calls or using your smart assistant of choice, It's there at my fingertips. And I don't feel like I'm shoving the earpiece into my ear canal. So, yes. These are far from perfect, but boy howdy, are they on the right path. It comes with a Lense wipe, charging cable with brick & a sleek leather carrying case, that took me a few minutes to figure out. A one sheet quick start guide and finally, a promo sheet. I'd recommend these to a friend for sure.

I received the Lucyd Lyte e-glasses, was not really familiar with the company, but so far so good. They are Bluetooth compatible with most phones and other devices. You can listen to music, podcasts or what ever source you desire from your connected device. You can receive and make phone calls, and you can use your voice assistant. The sound quality is pretty good when listening to music, I do notice if you turn it up loud this is some distortion, but when they are this close to your ears your really don’t need to turn it up to the distortion point. Taking phone calls is easy, you just double tap on the left or right button to accept the call, same thing to hang up. While I had no problem hearing the other person on the call, the other person could hear wind noise and other background noise. While the background noise did not drown me out, it would be a nice upgrade to have noise cancelling. To use the voice assistant, you hold either button for two seconds to activate the voice assistant from your connected device. The battery seems to have a long charge, I have been listening to music while I work and they are only down to seventy five percent after a couple of hours of listening, plus a few phone calls. These are some pretty cool glasses and besides being connected they look pretty cool. They are polarized, and it states they can have prescriptions put into the lenses if you need it. I am happy with these e-glasses, even if they do not have a pop up screen or Jarvis, they are some pretty amazing Tech.

I wish I had nothing but superlatives for these glasses because they ARE pretty darned cool and I truly, DESPERATELY, wanted to love them. And if you want a stylish, ultra-comfortable, hyper-lightweight, fully functional pair of BT sunglasses, you're going to be hard pressed to find anything that comes close to what the Lucyd's have to offer. But if you have even a passing concern for audio quality, I hate to say that you're going to be SORELY disappointed in your purchase :-( At first glance, these seem like a sure win for ultra-cool techie toy of the year. They look great (in my and my family's opinion), are exceedingly comfortable to wear, yet still manage to feel solid despite being about as feather-light as any pair of glasses I've ever worn (and I wear glasses daily, so I've got some experience and yardsticks for comparison). They come neatly appointed with a flat-folding case (very cool), polishing cloth bag, polishing cloth, USB charger and a proprietary charging cable with magnetic attachment points. Each stem has its own power supply and control button and can act independently (mono) as well as in stereo once both sides are powered up. From a distance, you'd be incredibly hard-pressed to tell that these are even BT glasses unlike some of the bulkier competition out on the market today--if it's stealth you're after, these could be your jam. You can use the inconspicuous control buttons (one on the bottom of each stem near the lenses) to provide a standard earbud-style interface/user experience with your phone or DAP--volume up/down, play/pause, track skip forward/back, answer/hang up/reject calls, voice assistant activation...it's all here. And call quality was actually quite exceptional...at least on the receiving end. I placed a number of calls using the Lucyd's and at no time did the party on the other end have any trouble hearing me. But when I started to peel back the onion a bit, that's where things turned sour. First, the glasses cannot be charged while folded--the magnetic charging attachments prevent you from being able to keep the glasses closed while charging--this makes charging per se a little awkward because you always have to find a spot on the tabletop large enough to essentially leave the glasses unfolded and untouched. I would have much preferred a design that would allow me to return the glasses to the protection of the collapsible hard case, or even just the soft polishing cloth bag, while they were being charged for a few hours at a time. This wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact that the proprietary charging cable is also laughably short...forget trying to plug these into a wall and then charging them on a table or desktop. The magnetic attachment points for the charging cable are also incredibly weak; they seem come loose with the slightest touch or movement and left me having to reattach them several times after discovering that I was only charging one of the stems after a day's use. This is also why it's virtually impossible to slip them into a case or protective bag during charging...definitely not ideal if you're concerned about scratching those great-looking lenses up front while you're leaving them unattended on a shelf or tabletop. But--quite sadly--where things completely come off the rails is the sound. I guess I'm not sure what I was expecting, or who these glasses are really for, because I honestly found it hard to listen to these BT glasses in anything but a virtually silent environment (oftentimes difficult to come by when you're outside under the sun and therefore have occasion to reach for a pair of BT sunglasses). The design is such that the little drivers inside the stems are simply squirting sound down towards your ears, but fully out in the open...anyone around you can hear what you're listening to, or who is speaking, and worse still, EVERYTHING else around you is still impinging on your eardrums and begging for your auditory attention. I tried remaining on multiple calls while out and about (or wandering through a store) and each time I eventually had to hang up because, although the party on the other end of the line could hear me just fine, I had a hard time hearing the caller amidst the din, even with the volume completely maxed out. More disappointing still--the sound is simply not ready for prime-time. I was willing to sacrifice a bit of fidelity for the convenience of taking my tunes with me in a stylish, near-invisible package without any of the discomfort associated with in-ear buds or drivers, but the sound was such a letdown that I simply can't recommend these to anyone who cares even slightly about having "good sound" at the ready. I imagine these would be fine for podcasts, or if you simply must be on the phone without buds or larger headphones dangling from/shoved in/sitting over your ears. But for music, the sound is tinny, veiled, distant, and practically without bass response at all, to the point where some bass-heavy tracks actually started to produce audible distortion. Yes, your tunes are along for the ride, but you're never going to feel "lost in the music," nor are you likely to feel very invigorated or satisfied if you're after a powerful, clear, and engaging sound signature...sadly, these just can't deliver. Now, I give Lucyd full marks for creating a stylish, comfortable, and compelling product with truckloads of promise--and maybe that's enough for you...but a BT device designed to deliver music on the go that struggles to reproduce music at all just can't quite earn my vote of confidence. Give them a spin yourself and see if you can live with the compromises in sound quality...for me, I'm going to have to keep looking.

Very cool sunglasses! I love the fact that are very light and the lenses do a very good job with the reflections. The music or phone conversation can be heard by nearby people but that’s ok it’s not overwhelming just a pleasant experience overall!

I wish there was a half star to give these a easy 4.5 star rating! It’s my second pair and I’m going to be getting one more pair for work! Talk about comfortable and they look great and almost loud enough hence the half star deduction

Overall I really like them, they are louder than expected, they are super cute. My only complaints are the buttons are flimsy and I can’t replace the lenses with clear ones (so I don’t look nuts in the office)

The world of audio sunglasses is still very much in its infancy, with only a few brands targeting this somewhat unique market. Lucyd is one of those brands looking to capture the attention of interested consumers. While there are a few where areas Lucyd has done well, it doesn't take long to find the missteps. Let's start with what's in the box. Aside from the obvious glasses themselves you will find a hard case, soft carry sack, charging brick, proprietary charging cable, cleaning cloth, and quick start guide. The hard case is certainly unique and will likely take a few attempts to figure out proper use and storage. The case does a great job at both securing and protecting the glasses. With the glasses removed, the hard case folds flat for ease of storage and portability. As mentioned, the charging cable is proprietary, so you will want to make sure not to lose this. Proprietary chargers are not unique to Lucyd, as this is common across most brands, though it would be nice to have integration with the more universal USB-C. Charging is rather quick with typical times between 2 and 3 hours. The charging cable is a split cable which magnetically attaches to both ear pieces. The magnets are mediocre in strength. I've had a couple instances where moving the glasses by sliding across the dresser has unattached the cable from the earpiece. So along this same line, is battery life. Now this is one area where Lucyd has done well, with one caveat. I have had no issue with battery life, often achieving "all day" use on a single charge. Now for me all day use is in the area of six hours. Unlike earbuds, sunglasses are not necessarily meant to be worn throughout the entire day for many users. I said there is a caveat, and that is - there is no way to really know how much battery life is remaining until you receive a low battery indicator. There is no app associated with the Lucyd audio glasses. This is something that would greatly improve overall satisfaction. Having an app where one of the features is a battery life indicator. From a purely non-tech perspective - the build quality is decent. These glasses are surprisingly light and quite comfortable. This is where I give Lucyd my highest marks. The earpieces are comfortable, light, and not at all clunky. I have to say initially the sheer lack of weight made me leery of the overall quality and durability. However, after much use these have held up remarkably well. The lenses do a fantastic job at blocking out light and provide crisp and clean visualization. Also of note, lenses are interchangeable and can even be used with prescriptions. Though they are interchangeable, lenses are held rather securely in the frames. The overall aesthetic may depend on your individual facial features. While the glasses themselves are actually attractive, they are small and look a bit awkward on my larger framed face. These will certainly appear better on someone with a thinner facial profile. Audio - this is where things become a bit more interesting, and not necessarily in a great way. I think you have to take into consideration your use case, what these audio glasses are really designed for, and the fact we are talking about audio sunglasses. These are in NO way going to satisfy an audiophile's palate, but this is true for audio sunglasses in general. We are talking about external audio in an infant space. This is not a platform where you should be seeking the industry's best audio / music listening experiences. Sidebar, this is where an app has potential benefit. There is no way to adjust bass, treble, or any audio settings other than overall volume. I also imagine items such as firmware and other updates are not possible due to no app integration. For phone use I found the call quality to be clear and audible. Callers did not detect wind or ambient noise, and I've had no issues hearing callers even at mid-level volumes. The same is true for audiobooks, podcasts, and other non-musical types of audio. Listening to music is where the shortcomings are front and center. You get what you get, and that is low-end, echoing, nearly non-existent bass. This is not a great experience, especially when you are very accustomed to Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio. But as I said, that is not the design or intent here and it is a bit like comparing a Focus to an Audi. They're both vehicles and they'll both get you there, but only one will provide you a more luxurious experience doing so. Yes, you can certainly listen to music, and you can hear the words and instruments, but the overall quality is simply less than expected, even for audio sunglasses. Yes, I have used other brands and these fall a bit short. Lucyd utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 and connection is solid with no drops during my use. I do have a love / hate relationship with the automatic connection when removing the audio glasses from the charger. This is another area of improvement that can be made. When you remove the charger, the glasses are powered on and automatically connect to the last device used. This is convenient if you are looking to immediately use the glasses, however if you are just taking them off the charger and not intending to use them this is a HUGE annoyance. You either have to turn off Bluetooth on your device, or power off the glasses. I know, first world problems but it really is an annoyance. I want to end by saying, I am NOT a hater of the Lucyd Lyte audio sunglasses. I think with improvements these could certainly be a contender, just not in their current state. Would I recommend? Yes and no - this very much depends on your use case and expectations. For those who want or need a way to listen to audio without the use of earbuds or headphones, and aren't concerned about a premium listening experience - yes, I would recommend. But if you are seeking the best audio experience and that is your utmost priority, then no I cannot recommend. If you want a nice pair of sunglasses, that have audio capabilities, and are relatively inexpensive - these may be just what you're looking for.

I love these! The sound quality is amazing. Its clean and crisp with a little bass. Its great. You wont be dissapointed.

Love the glasses, good size and the sound it’s clear. Price was good

Amazing product i really enjoyed it alot. I would highly recommend it

The Lucyd Lyte Starman is a set of Bluetooth speaker enabled sunglasses. Silver wire-frame look that goes into a thicker set of black temples. From a distance, it just looks like you're wearing a set of stylish sunglasses. Up close, people may notice that the temples are thicker than one would expect. While the height isn't unusual in this style, the width is just beefier than most others. But despite this extra heft (holding battery, Bluetooth circuitry, and speakers), it feels well balanced and comfortable to wear. The tinted lens are functional and actually block some of the sun's intensity. I tend to prefer a slight color shift to my tint, but these worked fine and didn't have any noticeable shifts where a particular color is missing, just muted. Setup is pretty simple - the glasses start off in pairing mode and show up with an easy to identify name - the name of the glasses. If glasses are powered up without your phone in range, after some time, they automatically enter pairing mode making swapping them to a different device relatively straightforward. As Bluetooth speakers, these seem to have the functionality of really basic wireless earphones. Each side is powered separately (buttons on the back end of the temple to turn on and control) with the same controls - single press to answer calls. Long press to reject/end calls. Single press on the left/right to increase/decrease volume, double press to play and the always tricky triple press for next/previous with the left or right. The glasses certainly score points for being easy to use by replicating what has become a sort of standard wireless earbud interface. As Bluetooth headphones/headset however, things are ok. The audio quality is ok. It's better than some car based mono-phone speakers but not as good as a lot of larger standalone Bluetooth speakers which is surprising since you technically have stereo sound with these. The volume is good in a closed or quiet environment. But, in something that one wouldn't think as too noisy - like a grocery store, you need to increase the volume and at a level that makes for comfortable listening - others nearby will also hear what you're hearing. I suspect the max volume on these are comparable to other bluetooth headphones or earbuds that I have. But because these aren't in your ear canal or covering your ears, the effective volume is lower. But for those same reasons, what you're listening to is also open to others to hear. This means that conversations in such environments can't be as private as while you can censor your own words based on how close you are to others, the person on the other end of the call may not necessarily know that they're effectively on speakerphone. And right now, testing sunglasses in the wintertime attracts extra attention. The microphone pickup was not that great. I think I've gotten spoiled by phones and headsets that use multiple mics to do some background noise removal. These glasses don't seem to do that and so if there are other noises in the background, they'll be picked up too. That said, in a quiet room, I could use a normal voice level and be heard. Aside from the glasses, you get a sweet carrying case which folds into a triangle shape, and a usb charger (wall wart + usb charging cable). The charging cable splits with one plug for the left and right temple. So just like earbuds, each one charges independently. Unlike earbuds, having to use charging cables to each temple rather than some interesting mechanism where it connects within the case makes charging a bit more of a hassle. The case is purely a carrying case, no built-in battery or a way to route the charging cables so that the glasses charge while stored. So essentially, you'd need to charge them, then put them in the case. I think this is a cool design and like it a bit better than the glasses that had wired earbuds attached to the temples. But the pros of that design are the cons here. Lack of privacy, less immersive sound, pretty much zero bass in exchange for stylish looks and comfort. I think if these had some bone conduction capabilities that might help with the privacy/volume thing. Perhaps one could sacrifice some audio quality for privacy with phone calls or podcasts/e-books. I feel that while I'd use these, the use would likely just be as sunglasses.

Super Nice style! I was impressed. Everyone is asking me where my smart glasses come from :)) I love that I can easily answer my calls and talk my sunglasses ! I strongly recommend ! Eva Cohen

As sunglasses, these were actually more comfortable to wear and stylish looking than I had expected. They're not too heavy, the default black lenses have a slightly mirrored finish, and they give UV400 protection. You can choose a wide variety of lenses on the Lucyd website, but the price goes up quickly. They also come with a nice protective case like real prescription glasses. The audio quality, however, was far less than what I expected. It's really only suitable for phone calls or maybe podcasts--music is out of the question. I know they don't have a lot of space for speakers, but I still thought it would be better than it is for the price. It's very tinny--reminds me of a crystal AM radio I made when I was a kid. The volume could be an issue, also, if you have much of any ambient noise to contend with. Yes, you can cup your hand over your ear to improve it, but for anything more than a short phone call that's not a workable solution. Anyone around you will also hear what your listening to, nearly as clearly as you can hear it. This may or may not be an issue for you, but it's something to be keep in mind. One positive feature of the bluetooth is the control buttons on the temples. Most headphones, earbuds, etc. that I've used have buttons that are fairly hidden, maybe hard to find, and you can't always tell if you're pushing it. These frames have a nice, physical button that stands out enough to easily feel (but doesn't look bad, either) and it gives a nice click when you press it. Given the price of these glasses and the less-than-expected audio quality, I wouldn't recommend them for most people. If you know what you're getting, and you really only want to use them for occasional phone calls or short podcasts, then they might be okay. Or, if you absolutely can't put earbuds in your ear for some reason, then maybe these would be better than nothing. But if you're expecting something to replace earbuds or headphones, these aren't quite up to the task yet.

These glasses are great looking and very comfortable to wear. I was afraid that the thickness behind my ear would be bothersome, but they aren't in the least. They have a lightweight titanium front with high quality mirrored and polarized lenses. The frames are RX-able and can be ordered with your prescription. There are user changeable non-prescription lenses available. The temples are plastic and also amazingly lightweight considering that they each contain battery, speaker and control units. The magnetic connections to charge the batteries are simple to use and innovative. They are IP56 water resistant. There is one button on each temple to control the music, phone, power and voice assistant functions. The voice assistant and phone functions perform as expected. Pairing with my Android phone was simple and fast. I really like wearing these and listening to music when in public better than earbuds or headphones because I can hear everything going around me clearly. I get nervous at times that I will miss some danger que with earbuds and headphones. Because the speakers are outside of your ear and allow you to hear surrounding sounds unimpeded, you don't get the depth of sound that you do from headphones and earbuds. These have lots of high end and not so much mid and low range reproduction. I don't mean to say the sound isn't good, I really have enjoyed wandering around listening to them, but I don't believe they were intended to compete with headphones and earbud sound quality. I have really liked having these and am going to see if I can order a set with clear lenses and bifocal readers

This is my second pair of smart sunglasses. I like the style of these much better than the first pair that I had, so right off the bat that earns a star for me. You have to like the look of the sunglasses and feel comfortable in them for them to be worth the cost in my opinion. However, I did find that I had a few issues that I think could be resolved in the future models. First, I found that the fit on these was hit or miss. They fit me OK but weren’t as comfortable as I’d hoped. I had a couple of family members try them on just to compare and see what the comfort was like for them. Some thought they were great, others said they wouldn’t be able to wear them for long periods of time. They felt like they might even fall off. As far as sound quality goes, I found that that was decent but not everything you might hope for. There were no issues with connectivity but you just don’t have the same listening experience with sunglasses that you do with actual headphones. With the way technology goes I think that that improvement can be made and future iterations will probably be better. I would highly recommend trying a pair on if it all possible before purchasing, to make sure that you’re going to be happy with the fit and feel of them. If you don’t like headphones or want another option to them, then Bluetooth sunglasses may very well be the way to go. But if you’re expecting immersive sound like you would get from actual headphones, you may not be satisfied. For what they are, I think they’re a decent products but with room for improvement. But the style is a huge win for me since some Bluetooth sunglasses I’ve seen and/or owned have felt and looked bulky and awkward.

Great quality inreallybliked them but my face was just too big
