Razer? Cheaper than competition? Unthinkable.
but smart
Lol no kidding
Tbh seems like razer has kept their prices steady since the start, everyone else is putting way higher now
$25 now on woot
Yeah only 25.
That's unthinkable
Damn Lady, I love that your phone has real “wear & tear” with all the cracks. Makes this feel like a realistic review.
I was thinking the same thing.
I was wondering why does a gadget channel has a beaten up phone.
Hold up. hold up. What is up with the broken phone screen. I'm sure there are a thousand review unit phones laying around in the Engadget office that no one is using.
🤣 yeah I was just about to say why is she using a broken phone definitely not normal for a review 🤣
Unprofessional, no way in hell I would’ve used that phone for a video presentation.
@@paddy8046 agreed 1000 times over what the hell was she thinking 🤣
Who signed off on this BS?!
@@daskizimz 🤣 I know right
3:22 this is why I put cases in on phones. 😎😂
Engaget, sent a new phone to Cherlynn
imagine paying £2000 for a phone and being scared of dropping it coz it will break instantly. i have tourretts and ive dropped my Z FOLD 2 many times and thrown it and not even cracked once
@@st0rm-xx z fold 3 user here. I got the s pen case with the s pen for it, obviously for the s pen, but really the flappy flap has become invaluable as a way to hold my phone. It's really a great and comfortable one handed solution. Reviews will knock it being flappy but i always have it unfolded unless i am taking a call or it's in my pocket. So i always use it as a holder so it's a non-issue.
Random i know but meh whatever.
@@xtremefps_ i feel you with the flappy flap being used to hold the phone when laying down
First off Razor Anzu is on sale on Prime Day for $50.00! Secondly, Bose Tempo are the best on the market at the time if you have the cash. Best sound quality, battery life, and USB Type C charging on a single port put them miles ahead of the competition. The two improvements I would like to see on the Bose Tempo are, being able to choose different control options, and detachable frames like the Soundcore Frames have.
Tempo are awesome, but they just clearly look like something else besides just glasses. The echo frames and the other bose frames don't immediately look like something other then glasses. Hopefully bose can bring some of those awesome features you mentioned to the the more normal glasses.
THIS IS AMAZING IM BUYING THIS
Can you change the lens power? Because i have far sight problems
I bought the Razer Anzu Glasses after trying several smart glasses I tried the New Echo Frames, Bose Tenor, and Bose Tempo Frames the Glasses that sounded the best to me were the Bose Tempo Hands down the 2nd best to me were the Razer Anzu 3rd were the Tenor and 4th Amazon. The Anzu sounded much more clear and not nearly as tinny as the New Echo Frames and the Large Anzu Glasses had the best fit for my head all in all I really like them not going to lie though gesture control is not great, Amazon had the best overall gesture controls in my opinion.
I wanted to get the Bose Tempo but the Best Buy I went to didn’t have those in stock so I got the Razer Anzu instead.
How do the sizing a compare between Bose and Razer? I have the large Bose Alto Frames and they’re too large for me. Constantly slide off my nose. But I worry that the small Razers would be too small
@@lilmike757 how is the anzu?
One step closer to AR glasses I guess. I'd really love to see a better pair that also can auto adjust to be sunglasses. I'm terrible at remembering sunglasses all the time so blue light to sunglasses + speakers would be ideal.
why not just get transition lenses…?
Just picked up some and you can order the lenses for that online
@@Jlangford951 how do you like him?
@@Jlangford951 How long did it take you to get your lenses? Was it a painful process?
I like how the Razer looks I just want good video recording for when I am out driving my semi.
Someone is selling a pair for $20 but without a charger, might pick them up. Came here to find out more about them, they actually sound fairly cool.
Did you end up getting it?
These are audio glasses not smart glasses. This feels like the whole hoverboard situation all over again.
I cant get them to turn on
How's the blue light blocking feature??
The reason for you have to connect the charger at both arms is because they are wireless to each other unlike the echo or bose frames.
That simplifies the arms foldability
it is perfect to prevent my tinnitus from getting worse
Anzu charging cable unit will pose a future problem.. Similarly to Bose charging unit.i have exchanged Bose Gen 1 spec 3x due to its faulty charging unit since I bought it last year. Using USB c should be the best method however to my disappointment, Anzu is not using that after being late entrant in this market.
just bought these for $70 hope i like them 🥰
bought this on thanksgiving sale for 50$ , rectangular ones .. selling points : price , decent sound , easy connectivity to my computer , eye protection as i work average of 10hrs a day on computer with 3 monitors ., the glasses got a very decent look on your face. so SOLD!!
Are they also prescription glasses..? Because that would be absolutely awesome because I wear glasses
Same
you can take these to the glasses store and they'll put in prescriptions for you
Awesome!
They're glasses with a speaker that almost due as good as fishing glasses. You tap them to pause and a few other things like that. I was hoping for something more.
It's $50 less than amazon's glasses so I'll give razer that
50 bucks less for something useless ...
i just got them,i look like david lettermen, the extra dark lens sold me
Amazing video review 🔥🔥
Can it video record?
Can i put my own lenses in these?
Can i also call my bluetooth speaker as smart speaker?..it-s been 10 days now since i started thinking how it became a smart glasses since its only function is connect the sound via bluetooth
Wait, are these not available with a prescription? Like, with the blue-light filtering?
Just heads up. This are on sale on Amazon for 80.00 usd
I have had my share of Razer Products and I can assure you their audio is awesome. But their frame and build breaks fast. I tend to stay on more hardy products such as Sony and Bose.
Anyone have issues with the glasses randomly disconnecting and reconnecting to bluetooth? Usually happens when my music is paused but it has done it on a few occasions even when I am listening to audio. Usually it just announces that it's disconnecting then a few seconds later it will announce that it's reconnecting/connected. It's pretty annoying and just fyi, I'm not touching the glasses at all while this is happening. I may have to return them.
Can I have it's glasses change? Because I have negative vision.
How is the sound though? Can people outside of the glasses hear the sounds? I wear glasses and work at amazon. I feel like i can def get by with these as long as nobody can hear any music..? Anyone?
Does it work sync with synapse 😂
How is there not a camera?
FINALLY a THOROUGH review!!!! Thank You!!!
Can I connect this to my PS5
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!
I can't be the only one who noticed those nicked corners on the phone screen @ 0:35
did razer just rip of the VUE smartglasses from 4 years ago or whatever? the gesture controls seem the same only to not work that well on the razer ones. and why is no one including VUE going with the bone conductive headphones any more? it was my fav feature
A great well-balanced review.
good sound needs more power.
And larger speakers
YES
I prefer matte grey or black.
How come there isn't any true reviews like this for apple?
No ar ??
i dont get it? can you see the app through the glasses while playing? or you just hear it?
this is supposed to be gamer glasses right?
Does Razer anzu have on and off button?
Nope, and that's a real deal breaker. I want sunglasses with speakers that I can wear without being on.
Amazon and Razer are stretching the definition of "smart" if these are the only functions these glasses provide.
they are called smart glasses because dumb people who buy need to feel smart somehow but actually its smart to not waste money on something as useless as these glasses
@@thephuntastics2920 Like, why buy these if you don't wear a prescription pair? Blue light filters are being built into the screens themselves nowadays. Then, just get a pair of normal headphones.
@@thephuntastics2920 it’s actually really smart if you work in an environment that does not allow ear buds..
@@raqui174 That's exactly why I bought them.
Dang girl Engadget couldn’t give you a loaner phone that wasn’t cracked?
yeah and they look fashionable too
Do the glasses make it so you can't see the cracks in your phone screen.
Is this glasses have degree?
Oakley 10 years ago.
Why does every woman ever have a phone with a broken screen? You would think a purse would keep it safer than a pocket O.o
Super early for the first time
I think that she would look cute in any kind of eyeglasses
What are these for? Seriously?
Could be better with camera, AR, and a better phone/glasses compatibility
Just bought the Razer hammerhear wireless headphones and the game mode sucks keep that in mind
Can it help you to see more clearly as well?
No.. Just sunglasses with speakers. Useless.
Someday, Smart Glasses will customize grades according to the owners eyes
nice phone screen bro
Going off topic . Cutie! We are all thinking it
But I cant get Razor toaster come on
This is need apple to set the bar. Why it called smart glass when it only plays audio from your phone. I would call it earphones in the glass. When i think about smart glass i imagine it just like tony stark glass
That phone screen....
Ray ban stories still ontop for me with cameras infront
What happened to your Pixel, Cherlynn?!
Lol like the word pro on some devices the word smart is being abit abused here
Shout out too all those still rocking a beat-up Pixel 2 XL 😂
Extremely overpriced for regular glasses. But you can order these with prescription lenses for an extra $77 - which would bring the price up to just under $300 which is at least $100 cheaper than a comparable pair of prescription glasses you'd get from an eye doctor. Except you'd also have all these crazy extra features. Like seriously, my dog chewed my glasses frames once, and replacing the frames alone would have cost me $250. It's crazy that high-tech glasses could be cheaper than cheap low-tech ones.
The heck are you buying lenses and frames? My glasses cost me the equivalent of $100
From the eye doctor's office, I kinda felt obligated after the appointment was done- and they refuse to give you your pupil distance to make it harder to buy from someone else. I don't do that anymore though. But my point in mentioning that anecdote was that- sure, these glasses are expensive, but even with the high-tech parts, they're still enormously cheaper than a lot of prescription glasses frames.
@@Mireaze Quite frankly, even your "cheap" $100 glasses shouldn't cost that much. They cost at most $15 to manufacture, but Luxotica has a monopoly. They're plastic frames. No fancy tech and they're still half the price of these smart glasses or whatever. That's the equivalent of a cheap plastic wrist-watch from Wal-Mart costing $150 while a smart watch costed $300.
these are my driving glasses 39$ price is worth it now
Another device to zap your brain
25$ on woot
Dude what happened to your phone? 😢
$50 @ Amazon
soo they cancel the switchblade but . make google glasses which failed in like 2016 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Bro, they’re $20 now 😂😂😂😂
They're cheaply made. They are 60$ on Amazon right now. If these had a built in recording feature I'd buy them
$49 now lol
0:35 could you replace the screen for me. it bugs me
could you delete your comment for me. it bugs me
I thought I was tripping 🤣
It hurts my OCD
@@SalvatoreSantillo92 Mate, do you even have OCD?
Not the 'emurgawdd I'm like soOoo OCD'-sort of thing, but an actual diagnoses?
To me personally I just don't see the point of having smart glasses that aren't AR as well
I want smart glasses that can auto adjust focus so can read microscopic print, even from miles away. They should also allow for overlays in 3d so my place looks like its a palace rather than the frugal factory. I want to look at my meals and see lasagna replacing the marcaroni, maybe even cause my cat to have a human looking face, and the glasses should be smart enough to covert meows to english. How about smart glasses that have the ability to help people detect things easier, such as with arrows pointing at important segments of a presentation, overlays for performing proper repairs on broken items to help walk through the process? Also, it would be a better idea to have a small wire running to a separate battery to keep the eyewear as light and less bulky as possible, and they should even allow you to remove one arm of the glasses, then you could lounge sideways on a pillow and the glasses wont dig into the side of your head. Touching the frames to expect actions to occur is no doubt not as enjoyable as if could be if it was not done, and instead relied on a type of small ring worn on the hand.
That's called living a fake life dude. Tech should be tools.
Just saying, but I’d buy what this dude described in a damn heartbeat if it existed
@@Hellbending even if such things exist, you'll just find a way to complain why you hate the product so much by saying "it could've been better" or "I wanted to like this product so much but etc."
my mans living in 3021
So from your laundry list of 'wants', I feel those Tony Stark E.D.I.T.H. glasses would be right up your alley. Truth be told, I want a pair too.
Im buying the shattered screen
1.3 million subs and broken phone...cheep level 5/5. You win.
Can't get over the fact that ger screen is shattered
Your phone screen broken? Weird since tech reviews rarely sport a cracked screen unless we're talking durability and fixability and the device is going to be fixed/destroyed.
Anyone who sees this: they're $50 on amazon right now
Just got these for $25 on woot. sold out now tho.
And you can text your friends by tapping Morse code
touch on eyeglass and earpods are the worst things ever. No matter if they are ipx7 or ipx100. You really need to work on your false touch mechanism
Not prescription glasses. Just 'sunglasses' with speaker frames. Cool gimmick. Wonder when they'll have actual smart features like zoom in, night vision assistance, automatic shading, connecting to other devices by sight. Cool sci fi tech. Not just music.
Exatcly. These are useless. Mxm. What's smart about these glases😠
Ok, so what is the actual point of these glasses? Yeah they filter blue light when gaming but if you're gaming on your pc or console I'm pretty sure you would be wearing a proper headset and not need these tiny speakers.
Can you make calls on them? Also pointless if you can as that's what Bluetooth headsets or headphones are for.
What is actually the point of these glasses?????
They are not smart glasses. They are expensive glasses with headphones. I upvoted because the review helped ensure I would not purchase those.
So wtf are they actually for 😂
I fix phones. I can fix your screen
No volume control is a deal killer. Don't buy. Pared with a TV, there's no way to control the volume. 😮
Why does this even exist? Why would I bother touching shitty glasses rather than just use Voice assistant or touch my phone?
$46 new on amazon rn
Looking at this review, seems about right. No off switch, crappy audio, and underwhelming touch control. Maybe the Bose version is actually worth the extra $$$ after all.
Who would buy this, its just a bluetooth earphone, ear pods and other such as samsung beans are much better bluetooth earphones and have noise cancelation.
Nothing Smart about these Glasses
