Features
LinguaLens Bluetooth audio sunglasses put open-ear speakers and a built-in microphone into a pair of tinted sunglasses. Pair them with your phone to take calls, listen to music and podcasts, and use your voice assistant, with nothing in your ears.
A note on translation: the glasses don't translate by themselves. They work like a wireless headset, so if you use a translation app on your phone, you'll hear it through the glasses. The languages and quality depend on the app you use.
Key features
- Open-ear audio: a 14.2 mm speaker in each arm plays sound towards your ears, so nothing sits in or over them.
- 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.
- Music and podcasts: press once to play or pause, and twice to skip to the next track.
- Voice assistant: hold the button for 2 seconds to call up your phone's voice assistant, such as Siri.
- Battery: supports 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, according to the manufacturer.
- USB-C charging: a full charge takes about 1 hour.
- Tinted lenses with UV protection, as stated by the manufacturer.
- Comfortable fit: spring hinges flex up to 30° and the nose pads are built into the frame. Unisex design.
