Smart glasses look similar to regular glasses, but what’s under the hood makes them quite different. They connect via Bluetooth to your mobile device and provide a wide range of useful features. In this list, we’ll share a few of our favorite options available, specifically for women. We think you’ll be surprised at how much smart glasses can do.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will I hear sound from my smart glasses?
Rather than using headphones to transmit sounds, smart glasses play audio – including music, podcasts, and phone calls – in an open air manner. This allows you to hear the sound clearly, but doesn’t eliminate your awareness of what’s happening around you. If you are driving, for example, you’ll still be able to hear emergency vehicles or horns honking even while playing sound or communicating with your voice assistant on your glasses.
How do I charge my smart glasses?
You should receive a USB cable with your glasses, and you can charge them on any USB-enabled power bank or your computer. The charging times and run times will vary depending on which pair you choose, but you can usually expect to achieve a full charge in 2-3 hours, and your glasses will probably run between five and seven hours before they need to charge again.
Buying Guide
You have several options when it comes to smart glasses, and we want you to make the best choice possible. In order to do that, here are a few things you should consider:
- Sound Quality: How clearly will the sound come through? What sort of technology do your glasses use to provide the most clear music and audible voices?
- Microphone Quality: You may want to use your glasses for phone or video calls. Take some time to learn about what kind of microphone your glasses use, and how well it will pick up your voice while eliminating unnecessary background noise.
- Durability: Will your frame easily scratch, or pick up fingerprints? Is it waterproof? Will the lenses remain clear over time? All important questions to ask.
- Lenses: Most lenses will offer protection from UV rays, as well as the blue light shown by most portable devices. If you want to use your glasses with your prescription lenses, some frames on this list will be compatible.
- Color/Style: You want glasses that are both functional and fashionable. Don’t feel shy about choosing a certain style of frame because you like the color or design. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good!
- Charging Case: We told you already about battery life, but you may be wondering how you can extend the usability of your glasses. Some frames will come with charging cases that can quickly add juice back to your battery even when you’re away from your charger.
