Great sunglasses with practical audio capabilities

These are great sunglasses that work well to listen to a podcast or music on the go as well as taking phone calls.
Design
These sunglasses are very light weight and comfortable to wear. They fit me perfectly and don't feel like the arms are larger than normal, though they are. I really like the way the speakers are outside of your ears, on the arm/temple, firing towards your ear. I like this because A. I'm not putting anything in my ear and B. I can hear other sounds around well, like when I'm driving. Do keep in mind though that people standing near you may hear both sides of your conversation. There is a special USB cable that attaches magnetically to each arm to charge it.
Controls
The controls are easy to find, easy to use, and work well. There is one button on each arm/temple. It is easy to tell when pressed. You press and hold to turn them off or on. Press once on the left side for volume down and on the right side for volume up. Double-press either for play/pause/answer/hang-up. You can also triple press for next/previous. I was very happy with the controls. The only issue I had a few times was hanging up on someone when I wanted to change the volume by two notches. I didn't need to change volume much though. It just takes some getting used to, to wait between presses when changing volume.
Sound Quality
The sound is great for voice calls and podcasts, any talking is fine. I liked it for music too. The quality is good but the bass is not strong. I didn't think it was a big deal for this product. The sound is still very good and while I wouldn't necessarily replace other sound devices with this for general music listening it is a great way to have one accessory take the place of ear-buds and conventional sunglasses. There is noise cancellation. It helps reduce background noise while you're talking that people would hear on the other end of the call but it doesn't eliminate it.
Sunglasses
Of course these are sunglasses too and they're great sunglasses! People may notice the thicker arms/temples but the front looks, and is, completely normal. Again, I found them to be very comfortable and light weight. They do a great job protecting my eyes from the sun. They are UV400 polarized lenses and all I know is they work as I expect sunglasses too. You can They fit very well in my car over-head sunglasses holder. They also include a microfiber cloth to clean them, a soft fabric case/bag, and a nice triangular hard case with a magnetic closure that folds flat.
Overall, the Lucyd Lyte Starman Bluetooth Sunglasses are great for me! I love not having anything in my ear and being able to talk and hear clearly. The battery life is good. They claim 6.5-8 hours which sounds about right and is plenty for my use with them. This was one of those things I ended up liking a lot more than I expected!

The Lucyd Starman Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses are a cool concept, I have had Bluetooth clip on audio speakers which attached your existing glasses, however they always look clunky. The Lucyd Starman Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses have integrated speakers in the temples (the arms on each side) and polarized tinted lenses. In general, the frames are of high quality, and the lenses are replaceable with prescription versions. As for the speakers built into the arms of the frames, don’t expect much in the way of audio. The audio quality may be fine for listing to podcasts or taking phone calls, but they lack any bass to really be effective when listening to music. The built-in microphones work well and in phone calls the audio quality on the receiving end of the call sounded very good. They charge using a special USB charging cable which attaches via magnets to the sides of the frame, taking about two hours to fully charge the glasses. The glasses paired easily to my mobile device via Bluetooth and have kept a steady connection during multiple days of use. They have buttons on each side of the arms, which are used to power on off each speaker, pair the device and various playback and control functions.
Overall, these are probably best in class for what they are good looking sunglasses with the added benefit of having audio speakers built into the frames.
Pros:
- Looks good, stylish, and lightweight
- Polarized UV400 lenses
- Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity
- Noise cancelling microphone
- About Six to seven hours of battery life
Cons:
- Sound is marginal, no bass
- Barely usable for music playback, geared towards voice based or talk programs.

Impressive build quality, unimpressive sound

I received this product in exchange for my fair and unbiased opinion.
TL;DR - great build quality across the board, good audio quality for phone calls, low audio latency, poor audio quality for music, and iffy connections for the charging cables. They're a good option if you want Bluetooth sunglasses but, like other brands, they have their issues.
Now for more details:
First, the great. I picked the Starman model and found their build quality to be absolutely impeccable. They have the right amount of flex in their titanium frame to be comfortable, the polarized lenses are made of polycarbonate, and (even though this pair was too small for me) they're comfortable to wear thanks to their light weight, being not much heavier than a pair of cheap plastic sunglasses. Phone calls with HD voice-capable phones and using services like Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams, and Apple Facetime sound great. Audio latency was near zero on my iPhone 11, meaning that these are good enough for gaming. Also, unlike other brands of smart glasses, these come with a power brick for charging, which is handy if you don't have any spare chargers from previous phones you owned.
Now for the okay stuff. The speakers in the earpieces of the frame use the same technology that "true wireless stereo" earbuds use, meaning they either each independently connect to your phone or one side connects to the other and then to your phone; what this means is you'll occasionally get a dropout or very slight audio latency on one side. Also, there is no noise cancelling for the mics, meaning that they'll pick up on sounds around you. The gloss finish on the earpieces is also prone to picking up fingerprints and hairline scratches; a matte finish would have been a better option here.
Finally, the bad. The audio quality for music and games is poor, very tinny. The drivers also get too loud and distort easily; I had this problem with bass-heavy hip-hop and jazz especially, but also with 70's/80's rock and pop, classical music, and metal being particularly bad, the drivers making a screeching sound while Kirk Hammett shredded in Metallica's "One". Also, while I get that Bluetooth sunglasses work better with a proprietary charging solution than they do with either a barrel tip, USB-B micro or USB-C connection, at least make the magnetic charging connections stronger so just bumping the shelf the glasses were sitting on while charging doesn't cause a disconnection.
In closing, I'm a fan of these sunglasses but they have problems that need to be fixed in next year's model. Another brand I've used was able to get the audio mostly right, but the build quality and the lenses weren't great. Lucyd got the build quality and the lenses right, but didn't get the musical audio quality right. If you're buying them for making phone calls on the go, they're a winner. They're also a winner in terms of comfort and style. With the audio and charge cable issues fixed, these would be a 5/5, but as they sit, I have to ding them on those two issues. Still, I can recommend these to anyone who's an early adopter.

I'm trying these out having owned the Amazon Frames in the past. While I like the Frames. battery life isn't the best and they come with the burden of the Echo ecosystem.
The Lucyd frames are similar in that they they have built in bluetooth speakers, but that's pretty much the only similarity. The Lycid frames are much more stylish and have better quality in general. There is very little give to the wire frames when they're twisted at all. The silver finish looks sharp and doesn't look cheap at all. Furthermore, the lenses are just the right darkness and offer no distortion at all.
The bows are a little thicker than most sunglasses, which is to be expected since they house the electronics and speakers. The speakers are set up a little different than other spec-based headsets I've seen in the past. They're little openings on the curved part of the bows where they go over the ears. This puts them in just the right spot to project into your ears, but they do bleed enough that someone nearby is likely to hear them a little. Outside this would be no problem, but I don't think they would be appropriate on public transit.
Each bow includes a small silver button to play/pause and power the glasses on an off. They can also be used to answer phone calls and take them hands-free on the glasses.
Sound quality is okay, and on par with other similar devices. Don't expect any low-end. These are just tiny speakers and don't have any bone-conductive qualities, so sound will be tinny. Some of this can be fixed with some EQ, but they will never rival earbuds; they're strictly for background noise or phone calls.
One of my issues is with the charging cable. It's Y-shaped and one side goes on each bow. Its magnetic, but I find that it takes some effort to get the second one to stick without knocking the first one off. Also, it's a proprietary cable, so it's yet another cable to pack when travelling.
Also, the case is huge. It's a big triangular case that will never fit in a pocket and takes up a lot of room in a bag. There's also a storage bag, cleaning cloth and wall charger (nice touch, most thing assume you have extras lying around), so you can just use the bag for storage.
I had no issues at all pairing these with my Samsung Fold 3 via bluetooth and they work just fine for music and calls.
While they are not a replacement for even inexpensive earbuds they are extremely handy for calls and killing some time listening to podcasts or music at a low level. They look good and function well as sunglasses with the extra added benefit of audio.

I was excited to get these paired up and going. They are a nice alternative to earbuds which can be irritating to wear for hours. The ability to be aware of your surroundings is also great especially when outside. The lenses are really high quality and from the website it seems they are replaceable. Would be nice to have transitions lenses but that is personal preference I suppose. They are light weight and very comfortable on my face.
I really love the hard case that comes with them. It folds nearly flat and takes up almost no space when not in use. A very nice and thoughtful touch.
The real issue is sound quality. For phone calls and pod casts they are amazing. For music they are pleasant and adequate, but there is a long way to go to catch up with my favorite ear buds.
I think that for the right person and circumstances these are a great product. I plan on using them for many outdoor activities while keeping up with my favorite pod casts, music and friends.

Pros: Easy setup, functional polarization, nice foldable case, clear voice in calls (albeit somewhat distant-sounding.)
Cons: Zero bass, proprietary charging cable, plasticky feel
The speakers are in the arm of the sunglasses and don't go into the ears, so you can't expect the best sound out of them; but that also means what you hear is all treble, no bass. I wouldn't find them useful to listen to music, however they're OK for spoken content like podcasts or radio shows.
I'm also not a fan of this particular design (Starman), but that's a personal choice. The sunglasses don't feel like anything close to a premium product, but they do work as expected.
As a side note, I have to give extra points for the foldable case. It becomes rather large when you have to actually put the sunglasses in it, but I just found the case to be kinda cool.

Good Sunglasses, So-so Sound

My first foray into audible sunglasses found me a little shy of satisfaction. When used as a pair of sunglasses they work fine, although the blocky plastic on the temples leaves them somewhat shy of aesthetic appeal. They fit me a little loosely but that was not an issue while driving the car. They paired with my phone easily enough and I listened to some streamed music from same. As you might expect from such small speakers, the sound quality is a bit on the thin, tinny side - made a bit worse when used with my hearing aids. Seated three feet away, my wife could also hear the music from these glasses. Without hearing aids in place, the music sounded better but required a much higher volume setting which of course made it much more apparent to those around me. I wear in-the-ear hearing aids, so if you wear over/behind the ear hearing aids, these glasses probably won't leave any room for them. The conveniently provided charging cables and USB wall adapter attach easily to the glasses and the red light on the side goes off once they have been fully charged. Full charge is likely adequate for a full day of use. Also provided are a fabric case with drawstring, a very sturdy hard sided storage case, and a lens cleaning cloth - a very thoughtful item.

Cool Look, Okay Sound

These sunglasses offer something that the majority of sunglasses out there don't offer: the ability to stream sound in the form of music, podcasts, or phone calls. The concept is really awesome but it misses the mark a bit.
Design (3 out of 5 stars): Lucyd says that these are made of durable titanium and although that may be true, they feel very flimsy like they would break easily if dropped. Luckily, I have not tested this theory but the frames do not feel sturdy. Despite this, the look of the glasses look great. They fit well and add style. The temple arms are a bit long for me but my head is small so I'm not docking it any points for that.
Sound (2 out of 5 stars): This is what sets them apart from any other pair of sunglasses. The ability to play music through your sunglasses is awesome! That is until you actually click play. The highs and lows are dismall. There is absolutely no bass presence and high pitches screech. The mids are okay. They deserve 2 stars because I can still enjoy the music and a huge positive is that phone calls are crisp and clear on both ends. Voice assistant activation requires pressing a physical button but the mic actually picks up my voice really well. Keep in mind that the sound does bleed from these speakers are people around you will be able to hear what you're listening to.
Function (4/5): They are a nice pair of sunglasses with good lenses. They are comfortable to wear and block out bright lights from the sun. Their main purpose is for use during physical activities such as running or playing sports which I did not try because I believe the sweat would get into the speakers and damage them. They don't claim to have any sweat or water resistant specifications. However, I enjoyed taking them for my morning walk with my dog. Being able to hear your surroundings while also listening to the tunes is great.
1 additional note I'd like to add is that the charger is different than any other as well. Both arms have to be charged individually and the charging ports are magnetic. That being said, try not to lose the charger.
Overall, I do like these sunglasses, but they do need some improvements. Sound could be a lot better and the flimsiness could be tightened up. Overall though, I would recommend these to someone who spends a lot of time outdoors doing activities such as hiking, walking, or cycling if you want the ability to hear your surroundings while looking stylish, protecting your eyes from the harsh rays of the sun, and listening to your tunes at the same time.

I have had a few pairs prior to these and I would say these are very comfortable. It is not the most complicated setup when you get these setup. The charging is a little different but once you get the hang of it the charging part isn't to bad. One item I wanted to touch on is the led lights as they are on the outside of the fjrame. They are a little bright and probably should have been installed on the inside. The sound is great but one little issue is the louder the volume people around you may hear what you are playing. Otherwise the frames fit well and they sound decent. I had a little issue trying to get them into there case but I just squeezed the temples and pushed them in.

Shades With A Twist

These are sunglasses that double as headphones without anything stuck in your ears or over your ears and feel and look more natural while walking. Who would have thought this could be a thing! I like going for walks and listening to music and usually need a pair of sunglasses while doing so. This is the best of both worlds. I don’t need to make sure I have both my sunglasses and headphones before walking out the door. I just need to grab these sunglasses and go. They are polarized sunglasses which is a definite plus.
These sunglasses are very stylish and you would not be able to tell that there were speakers hidden in the arms. The fit is very comfortable and lightweight. I am using them as just regular sunglasses as well, since they are polarized and protecting my eyes from the UV of the sun. The benefit of this is that, as long as you are wearing them (and they are charged), if you find you need to make a phone call, listen to music or an audio book you can do it while you are out and about.
Setup is simple. All you need to do is Bluetooth your device to your cell phone, as you would most any other devices.
The sound on these is a bit tinny and the bass leaves a little to be desired, but considering the price you are paying for these and the technology that went into them they are well worth it.
One con that you can’t avoid is that if you have people nearby, they can hear your phone conversation. I just don’t answer right away and wait until I am alone. Then I return the call and that takes care of that problem.
The microphone on these sunglasses is noise cancelling. This is great while talking on the phone. People can hear you better without as much noise distraction.
The sunglasses come with a soft case, hard case, charger, cleaning cloth and a basic instruction sheet. A feature I like is that the charger has a magnetic y splitter that hooks to the arms of the sunglasses to charge them. You can charge this on a USB port or plug it into an outlet with the adapter that is included.
For anyone new to this type of technology, there is a little learning curve for using the button controls since you can’t see them, but have to feel where they are while on. There is a button under each of the front portion of the arms for your controls. You can single tap the left or right button to lower or raise the volume. You can also single tap either button to answer or end a phone call. To pause and play music, simply double tap either button. To turn these off, hold down one of the buttons for about 6 seconds and you will hear “powering off”. These directions are shown on the basic instruction sheet.
Overall, I find this an unconventional way to listen to music…and I like it!

Decent lenses with a non direct audible sound

The Lucyd - Lyte Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses - Starman have the typical metal frame for lenses, but thicker plastic arms for the ears. I get the same view as with any pair of sunglasses. The tinted glass dims the sunlight, just as it should. The sound is completely different from listening with earbuds or a headset. With earbuds or a headset my music or vocals are heard directly into my ear canal, producing a rich studio type sound effect. The Lucyd - Lyte Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses - Starman does not produce that type of sound effect. Because they basically operate as mini speakers on my ears, I get a background noise type of sound. They work similar to effects of watching a movie. As actors talk with music playing in the background, the focus is on what is being said, but the background music can also have an effect. When I walk outside wearing the Lucyd - Lyte Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses - Starman, I only hear them in the background, while vehicles and people receive the most attention from my auditory system. If I want to listen to music, I prefer a more pure sound with direct access to my ear canals. The Lucyd - Lyte Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses - Starman does not produce that desired effect.

Novel Concept, Poor Execution

Hands-free audio and phone without having anything stuck in your ears. Great idea but unfortunately these glasses are not very well executed. The good - They work as described. Connectivity was good, controls worked as designed. Voice quality and definition were good as well. The Bad - Uncomfortable, boxy, cheap. These glasses remind me of the 3D glasses you wear at amusement parks. The frames are too small for my face, I have reading glasses with larger lenses. Nose pieces wobble and are uncomfortable. With today's technology and miniaturization, there is no reason for the arms to be so large and boxy. More development is needed. Pass on these.

The Lyte smart glasses are a useful and good looking product. Basically sun glasses and an open ear Bluetooth headset combined together. It’s actually a lot fun to use. I can listen to music through the glasses using Amazon Music app totally hands free, and take or make calls with decent sound quality. They are very light, and comfortable enough to wear all day. Also the battery life is terrific. It’s stated to be 6 hours, but that must be for continuous music because for me I didn’t have to recharge them for several days.
