It never ceases to amaze me how few of the reviews of these kinds of audio glasses ever acknowledge how valuable these are to the 60% of adults who were prescription lenses. “these will be great to pop on your face while sitting on the beach and listen to podcasts” Seriously? For those of us who wear prescription glasses all day every day these things are game changers. Stick a set of Transition lenses in these and they are all day eye glasses, outdoor sunglasses, audio headphones and wireless phone headsets all wrapped up in one and siting on your face all day. No longer need to fumble for phone or headsets, just reach up and tap the button. I’ve barely even looked at my Bluetooth headphones since getting a set of the Bose Frames 2 years ago and I just upgraded to the Anzu’s this week. Loving the smaller size, the sleeker design and the longer battle life. These things are amazing and I just don’t understand how none of the companies making these are targeting them at the prescription eyeglass market through optometrists and glasses stores. Stop selling them with sunglasses lenses or pointless “blue-light” lenses, quit targeting the trendy hipster crowd who’d rather show off their white Apple product, instead sell them through optometrists and include a voucher for a set of prescription lenses. Target the prescription lens wearers and they’ll be a massive hit.

Just picked one up since they are getting discontinued and $50, as someone who wears glasses every day they are just simply too bulky on the sides. If they slimmed them down they would be amazing but unfortunately earbuds are just far more practical right now.

[@jake_lacroix5417]

Randomly this video seems much better than previous ones. More straight to the and formal review. Great job!

[@tonyc416]

Agreed! The video and presentation is done very well!

[@HEARDIFFERENT]

Not only he's got an excellent voice but also an elegant face. And as always the best reviews out there. Jordan mate...👏👏👏

[@tonyc416]

Excellent presentation in terms of both, dialogue and video. Direct and to the point. Thank you! (Awesome beard line-up and haircut too!)

[@davidmthekidd]

Got em, pretty nice, cant wait to get my RX prescriptions.

[@qassimadil1343]

Nice looking cool jordan😎 , by the way great reviews as all ways .

[@MillenniumFalcon]

Thanks. I think these would be great for WFH during the pandemic. I saw your later review of the Anker but this seems better for business productivity.

[@Roadtobitcion]

Great review ,going to use them for biking so i can listen to music and glasses for the sun haha

[@TheAaronmcmahon11]

I would love transition lenses for these

[@mikehurt3290]

I just bought these on a whim because they were more than half off refurbished and they're exactly how you described, I haven't taken off the lens yet but thanks for explaining that part because I was nervous too my first time

[@dudeabides1754]

Just got mine as well

[@mikehurt3290]

@@dudeabides1754 they're pretty awesome they really exceeded my expectations

[@theinfinitigroup1813]

Hi Jordan. Thanks so much for this review. It was quite helpful. I ordered and received my Razor S.G. from Amazon. You mentioned that you ordered the Small/Medium size. On Amazon the only 2 sizes are Small and Large. Would I need to purchase the small/medium size directly from the manufacturer? Or is the size small on Amazon the same as a small/medium? I thank you in advance for your time. Guy

[@inouji]

There are only two sizes, so small is the same as small/medium, Amazon just doesn't list it the same way that Razer themselves do.

[@Spacecrust]

I really wanted to get these, but the fact that the sound fires out and not in is gonna be a no for me. it's not private so what's the point 🤷

[@lalolalo1233]

trying to find anyone that addressed the quality of the actual "lenses" in YT and so far no luck. Do you mind sharing the quality of both, clear and dark polarized lenses and the swapping of?

[@bobstamcmahon7948]

Is the sun glasses lenses blue light protection to?

[@lui1367]

How do these pair against the bose bluetooth glasses

[@AlGggeee]

I feel like the volume is too low, wonder if it's just my unit?

[@MrZ____]

Hi is it perfect to go for kids ? because nowdays there is much usage they

[@pierrengu]

how is the sound quality compared to soundcore?

[@ghostofrok3063]

Having been a Razer user in the past, I can assure you the audio quality will always be great. The bad thing is the hardware (plastic, frames, etc) will most likely wear down in a year.

[@AnhTuPhucDerrickHoangCanada]

i think they will last a day on a charge like a watch but my buds keep going missing...u know it.

[@123peewizzy]

I am sold

[@meric12131415]

I honestly have to wonder what most makers wonder what smart glasses actually are they might as well call these audio glasses

[@m3sdvalorant324]

ANZU IS only 60$ on amazon may first if anyone sees this id pick em up now

[@williamkim7771]

Which size did you get? S/M or L?

[@JoshuaTarvin]

He mentioned early in the video that he got the S/M frames and are happy with them, since the Bose glasses felt too big on his face.

[@blonep]

Dude, are you Tony Stark?

[@davidorellana9322]

The glasses are good, not too heave. However the speakers suck so much. They are very muffled

[@tj3775]

My husband bought 2 pairs of their 'smart glasses' and within 2 weeks, the right arm came off. Razer told me that this was due to abuse. The connection of the arm to the frame is plastic and poorly designed. I have put script lens in both pair and now Razer refuses to repair the arm assembly. I have full documentation and pictures of their 'wonderful' support. Buyer Beware!

[@styromaniac6967]

The audio playback quality is meh. There's no bass nor treble.

[@TechOutAdam]

Bose doesn't lack blue frames, they don't come with them at all lol

[@mylesweaver8781]

Ryan Renolds?

[@9to5toys]

ya lemme sell you some aviator gin :)

[@LlamaSpeeed]

you sound like the guy that does food wars

[@echoko264]

There’s camera(

[@Peter-ol6dk]

Save your money for the Bose sunglasses, the audio on these are trash
