I’ve tried these translation glasses during travel, and they handle real-time conversations in multiple languages smoothly. The open-ear design makes it easy to hear translations while staying aware of surroundings. They’re lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods, and the touch controls are responsive. Music playback is a nice bonus when not using the translation feature. Read more

Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product The sound quality on these glasses is surprisingly good—loud and clear for phone calls or music, and more convenient and more comfortable than putting in earbuds. But since the speakers are built into the arms and sit just outside your ears, people around you can still hear some of the sound. Also, there doesn’t appear to be any kind of active noise cancellation, so they don’t work well in noisy settings like airplanes. The live translation actually seems to do a decent job, at least between English and Chinese. But from the best I can tell, there’s no way to make it real-time simultaneous in both directions. Instead, you have to clunkily take steps to switch the direction each time the other party wants to speak. The phone translation feature may support two-way use, but it only works if the other person is also using the same app. So you can’t use this to call a restaurant or business that doesn't have the app, which limits its usefulness. And if you’re calling a friend who already has the app, chances are you both speak the same language anyway. It’s also worth noting that the app seems geared toward selling subscriptions in order to unlock premium features like live two-way translation. To be fair, the subscription isn’t unreasonably priced—around $30 per year—but buyers should be aware of this. The glasses have a bold sunglasses look—kind of a 1980s motorcycle cop style. If you're planning to use them in meetings or indoors, just be aware that wearing dark sunglasses inside might look a little out of place. On a positive note, the lenses do a superb job of blocking UV. I tested them by shining a strong UV light through the lenses at a $100 bill, and the security strip didn’t phosphoresce at all, which means they block UV very effectively. In short, the concept is cool, and some features are genuinely useful, but the translation functions feel more like a novelty than a practical tool for everyday use. Google Translate may be more robust and useful overall—but if the novelty of wearing sunglasses with built-in translation and audio appeals to you, that may still be the redeeming value. Read more

I never got to use the translation part of these glasses yet but I got these more for listening to my music open eared and for phone calls. But i can't wait to try these when I go to Cancun in a couple weeks and listen when I walk by someone and be able to hear live if they are talking about me in another language lol. These are a game changer and super cool and they look great on as well. They are very affordable and easy to use and setup and the sound quality is perfect for how they are made. I can't recommend these enough. Read more
