The problem
Earbuds aren't always the right tool.
Earbuds get uncomfortable, fall out and shut out the world around you. And when you're out in the sun, you're juggling a headset, sunglasses and your phone.
Without LinguaLens
- Earbuds sitting in your ears for hours
- Digging out your phone to answer a call
- Carrying sunglasses and a headset
- Holding your phone up to hear a translation app
With LinguaLens
- Open-ear speakers, with nothing in your ears
- Answer calls with one press of a button
- Sunglasses and headset in one
- Hear your phone's translation app through the glasses
Features
What they do
A Bluetooth headset and a pair of sunglasses in one.
-
Hands-free calls
A built-in microphone lets you talk without taking out your phone. Press the button once to answer or end a call, or hold it for 2 seconds to decline.
-
Open-ear audio
A 14.2 mm speaker in each arm plays sound towards your ears, so nothing sits in or over them.
-
Up to 5 hours of music
Up to 5 hours at full volume or 6 hours at half volume, up to 4 hours of calls and up to 30 hours on standby (manufacturer figures). Charges over USB-C in about 1 hour.
-
Voice assistant
Hold the button for 2 seconds to call up your phone's voice assistant, such as Siri.
-
UV-protection lenses
Tinted lenses that the manufacturer states offer UV protection, so your headset is also your sunglasses.
-
Works with translation apps
The glasses don't translate by themselves. Use a translation app on your phone and hear it through the glasses.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Still have a question?
Contact usDo the glasses translate by themselves?
No. The glasses work like a wireless Bluetooth headset. To translate, open a translation app on your phone and you'll hear it through the glasses' speakers. The languages available and the quality of the translation depend on the app you use.
Which phones do they work with?
Any phone, tablet or laptop with Bluetooth. Holding the button for 2 seconds calls up your phone's own voice assistant, such as Siri.
How long does the battery last?
The manufacturer states up to 5 hours of music at full volume (up to 6 hours at 50% volume), up to 4 hours of calls and up to 30 hours on standby. A full charge over USB-C takes about 1 hour.
