These glasses are first of all very stylish. They have a light tint which is good for indoor and outdoor wear.After I charged these completely the glasses were easy to pair via Bluetooth and the sound from my music was good but where these glasses really shine is for phone calls, podcasts and audiobooks. The vocal quality is super crisp. Also when I made calls out I was told the clarity of my voice had increased as well. These also have the ability to track steps and help with posture and other cool features. The only drawback is that these glasses are not meant for any type of private or discreet auditory activity. At almost any volume level someone next to you can clearly hear whatever you are listening to. Definitely great quality and easy to use.
These smart sunglasses are a fun and functional accessory. The sound is great and these have background noise cancellation. They are lightweight and comfortable, as well. The lenses are fantastic and do a great job of protecting my eyes. The frames are well-made and very sturdy. They fit my face perfectly, which is usually an issue for me. I never like the way sunglasses look on me, but I really like these. The included instructions are easy to follow and include pictures as well. I do want to point out that it does say in the instructions that it contains magnetic material which may interfere with medical devices. Overall, these are a nice pair of sunglasses that are also functional for every day life.
This isn't my first pair of SOLOS smart glasses. I wear a pair of them at work all day with the blue light blocking lenses and quietly listen to music without bothering anyone. Not only is my eye strain gone, but I don't have to ask anyone to repeat themselves when they come to me with questions. My plan was originally to just purchase the front frame with sunglasses lenses in them and just change out the sides as needed after work, but came to realize it would just be another hassle to add to the day.
So, I just got another pair and the leave the other ones at work to charge as needed and use these after work driving home and for my evening walks. They are comfortable where they need to be, easy to use and the charge lasts quite a long time. I'm my case the sunglasses last about 6 days then they need a charge. Keep in mind I walk for an hour a day and sometimes an hour and half. The ones at work last a full day of work (8 hours) and then need to be charged. They are comfortable and can easily be worn even if the battery has been depleted for the day.
Keep in mind these are similar to bone conduction in which nothing really enters the ear and instead speakers are placed really close to the ear also allowing ambient sounds in as needed. In my case for safety I need to be aware of my surrounding and be able to hear everything.
The Solos sunglasses with speakers is a super combo. I used it for listening to music while taking my daily walk or playing golf. The sound quality is amazing and the lens are high quality. Easy to use with touch controls. Very stylish and comfortable to wear. Love it!
I bought these glasses because Apple's AirPods were falling out of my ears and I would constantly lose one of them when hiking or running, a total waste of money IMHO. Another issue with Apple buds is that to control sound volume I need to use my phone or watch, which is a distraction. Solos, on the contrary, works like a charm. It is super easy to adjust the volume level when listening to music, answering a call and talking while walking and hiking. I don't need to pull out my phone, everything is controlled with gestures on the right ear arm. Great!
First impressions. The glasses come disassembled in 3 pieces - the frame and two ear arms. All the electronics are hosted in the earpieces and the frame is interchangeable, which is awesome because it allows you to have several different styles by swapping the frame without the need to buy the most expensive part of the glasses - earpieces. Heck, you can even have prescription glasses frame on it! Putting glasses together was quick and easy - just "click-in" the earpieces into the frame and you are good to go, 5 sec. Then you need to turn on the glasses (the button is at the bottom side of the right ear arm) and connect them to your phone via Bluetooth just like a set of wireless headphones. Just install "Solos AirGo'' app on your phone and it will walk you through all necessary steps to get it up and running. A few minutes later you are ready to use your new awesome smart glasses!
Operations. The sound is crisp and clear, it's loud but not overwhelming. It uses a half-open double speaker design instead of bone conductivity technology for sound transfer. This design does not lead to high vibration at a low frequency or a poor high-frequency response, and, therefore, does not cause low sound quality or distortions. I really like that the glasses automatically detect when you put them on or off and adjust sound volume accordingly so you can hear voice prompts even when you have your glasses off. When you take them off and don't use them for several minutes (can be set up in the app) they'll go to sleep to preserve battery life automatically. Great but I'm missing a feature that would disconnect the glasses from my phone as soon as take them off and connect back when I put them on for a smooth sound transition, hope the manufacturer will add it in future updates as the glasses already have a proximity sensor in their ear arms and know when they are on or off your head.
Now about the microphone. As expected, it also works great, much better than my Apple AirPods' one. It uses so-called "Whisper" noise cancellation tech developed by Solo. From what I've read and understood, it's aimed to cancel all types of surrounding noise and at the same time boost only the narrow bandwidth of speech signal from the person wearing the glasses. Solos claims that the surrounding noise can be reduced by a whopping 45 dB, and I tend to believe this claim after testing calls with it.
Other thoughts. The glasses' battery life is a whopping 11 hours of continuous listening to music and 8 hours making phone calls. And on standby they will last for 3 days. The device comes with a beautiful case and cleaning fabric. A special charging cable is included, you can't use any random USB cable. The glasses are very well made as expected for such an expensive technology/fashion piece, the style is classic and very cool. They fit well and are very comfortable, weighing only 30 grams! End-to-end, I really like them, and I love that you can always swap the frame if you break it so I don't need to be worried too much. The only thing that I'm a bit concerned about is privacy because their speakers are semi-open and located in the ear arms outside of your ear, which means that everything that you play loudly can be overheard by a bystander. Just be aware of this side effect. But I consider it a minor issue as I primarily use them for music, and I don't make any super-secret calls :).
A few words about the Solos AirGo app. It allows you to control almost everything about these glasses, calibrate them and update firmware. It also includes a number of "AI coach" and "AI are" features aimed at improving your daily quality of life by providing you with AI-powered fitness and daily routine guidance. I personally did not use any of these features as I need them for audio playback and calls mostly and we already have way too much AI assistance in our devices, but there are some very interesting ones like, posture monitoring, posture exercises, reminders to drink water, etc., that I might just give a try soon. I'll be updating my review as I'll continue to use the glasses and gain more experience with them.
*** Bottom line ***
Yes, I totally recommend them, these are my first smart glasses and I'm very impressed by their sound quality and overall usability. They are easy to set up and use, very comfortable to wear and very intuitive to operate. They are packed with tons of features and pr...
I've tried several types of audio shades out in the past. All were decent, at best. The biggest issues I had with other brands were usually 1. Sound quality is as bad as an old-fashioned clock radio, and 2. It's hard for people on the other end of a call to make out what you're saying. Thankfully, Solos took these shades to the next level of quality. Improved sound, when you're listening to music. And they used a new technology which allows the shades to filter out all the background sound (birds, traffic, etc) and just focus on your actual voice. So they can hear you clean and crisp. Also doesn't hurt that the shades are much more stylish than the typical MP3 sunglasses you'll come across.
Price tag is inarguably steep, compared to some brands. But you get what you pay for. And once you use these, you'll understand why the price tag is what it is.
I have had these for about 2 weeks now and they are amazing!! The quality is too notch can hear well and ease of use was great very comfortable also.
Competitive Edge Smart Technology! The battery life longevity is awesome, and the interchangeable temple capabilities is dope. The style is very sleek and fashionable. The weight is good and the lens clarity is excellent!! Definitely will talk up the technology!
I use these for cutting grass and they work great! Sunglasses are good coverage and sounds loud and clear. My son wanted to borrow them.. I may not get them back now lol. Highly recommend.
I have a home office, which can get very noisy when my kids are home from school. solos solved that issue with some of the best noise cancellation technology I have used. When I use my audio glasses for work calls, no one can tell my kids are home. I love them!
These shades are awesome!! They connect to your phone via Bluetooth like a set of wireless earbuds. They work in a similar fashion. The sound is crisp and loud, glasses hold a good battery life. The only thing is due to the way they are made, the speakers emit sound below your ear not straight in it meaning anything you play loud will be overheard so not great for phone calls. Work great for on the beach. Come with a nice case and cleaning cloth. So far love these.y new favorite shades!
Very convenient smart glasses in my daily life. Add oil Solos.
What a relief to not have to insert an ear piece into my ears. Really impressive technology. The glasses fit well, are lightweight and the battery lasts for days. Crisp sound, background noise cancellation and surround sound are surreal. Calibration tools in the app are really cool, makes a big difference as everyone as different hearing sensitivities.
This is the 3rd time I bought this product. Sound quality is good especially noise cancellation. However, battery was malfunctioned for my last two items and I hope this time will be lasted longer.
I purchased these glasses because the ear buds (of which I have many different ones) would pop out of my ears when biking. Also I have an Apple Watch , so the “buds” ( when they don’t fall out) are paired with my watch but it is a pain to adjust the noise level. Solos dark glasses work like a charm!! So easy to adjust the noise level and answer the phone and talk. Walking is just as easy. Pair with my phone and download a book to listen to. Easy to stop and talk to someone by just pushing the off button. Highly recommend Solos.
It’s very easy to wear and the sound quality is amazing! Although it took a bit time initially to get familiar with the basic / advanced functions, it’s definitely worth to spend the time. Fairly recommended!
