Inventiv Wireless Bluetooth Sunglasses, Open Ear Music & Hands-Free Calling, for Men & Women, Polarized Lenses, Compatible with iPhone/Android

My better half and I saw the Bose version of these glasses at Best Buy and were both intrigued. However, with a $100 or less gift rule and uncertain if he’d like them, I chose these. He cheated and got me the Bose for Christmas. We both loved our different brands of audio glasses, but I returned the Bose. Knowing how great these worked just felt like a waste to keep the Bose. (Yes, Bose has more stylish designs for sure, but I’m trying to be responsible!) To compare the two, the differences we noted are 1) These are lighter to wear - more comfortable. But the Bose are comfortable, too. 2) The Bose feel more expensive, but that probably also has to do with the weight? 3) Bose has a proprietary charging plug, whereas this one uses one you can easily replace if lost 4) This brand is easier to control than the Bose, I believe. I believe the button on the side allows you to easily answer calls, power on and off, change a song, etc. The Bose I think may have that option but it was not as intuitive for sure. But if I recall, the button was to power on/off and you used an app to control features? (I may not recall correctly but I remember having the thought of the less expensive shades being more user-friendly.) 5) Both shades hold plenty of power charge. My hubs wears his all day talking on the phone driving around and no issues. Has run after work with them on and still has a charge to listen to music. 6) SOUND - both sound great. Very clear audio/voice calls and music sounds good. Compared side by side, Bose naturally edges out this pair, but it’s really not a huge noticeable difference to justify the cost. Honestly, it’s minor and we noticed it most playing Led Zeppelin. You can easily talk to others in person while the music is playing. You can also hear your surroundings which is great for safety. NO, others cannot hear your calls or music. Maybe if they’re right up on you giving you a hug but 2-3 feet away in the car I can’t hear the other person on the phone talking nor his music. Same with Bose. My final thoughts are 1) No, you don’t need these but you will quickly love them. So convenient and more comfortable than an ear piece. 2) If you’re worried about using the Bose enough to justify the cost increase or just losing them, get these. In both our opinions, the Bose are only worth it if you simply want a more chic and stylish looking pair of shades and just want to say you have Bose sunglasses. Purchase these with confidence!

Both items in box as Post Office would not use two barcodes

I REALLY wanted to love these glasses but unfortunately they have come nowhere near my expectations. Firstly the good: They look great, are lightweight and fit perfectly. But now the bad..... Sound quality is poor. Very ‘tinny’ and thin. However the ‘low battery’ warning is VERY loud and VERY distracting- especially as it occurs frequently after the first announcement. Battery life on the set I have is truly awful. 15-20 mins max. And that’s after full charge. This is my second pair and the first wouldn’t charge at all after the first use. So, the glasses are just that - sunglasses. I have a set of BOSE frames which have amazing sound and decent charge life to them but fit terribly. If I could combine the two I’d have a superb set of audio glasses but at the moment I have neither that are fit for purpose.

These sunglasses are really cool. The sound is surprisingly good & they’re a refreshing alternative to wearing earbuds on an outdoor jog. They work exactly as advertised: iOS/Android Bluetooth compatible (I pair mine w/ my iPhone), 30 foot Bluetooth range (accurate), Smart Assistant Voice Command (can press one button on the sunglasses and request anything you need from Siri)... The volume is controlled through your connected device rather than the sunglasses, however you can use voice command on the sunglasses and say “turn volume to max” if your phone is sitting 30 feet away and the sunglasses will adjust—good if you’re in the pool and don’t want to get out. You can listen to music, make phone calls, etc with these. The only minor drawback I’ve noticed is the blue pairing light on the inside of the right arm is a little too far forward. Every now and then you’ll notice a blue light flash out of the corner of your eye if there’s some momentary cloud cover. You would rarely notice it in sunny conditions.

I was looking forward to these glasses and was quite impressed by many of the reviews, so I felt pretty good about my purchase. But after receiving this and pairing with my phone, I found the audio quality quite horrible. The pairing process was easy. The glasses fit fine and looked as good as any glasses you would purchase off a rack in a store. But the sound was like having a mini speaker by your ears, which is essentially what it is. The sound coming from these speakers on the glasses could be heard by anyone within earshot; and as far as hands-free calls, forget about privacy. So overall... not impressed by the product. If what I was looking for was a pair of stylish glasses - fine. But not as a pair of headphones to enjoy my music or take any calls. My recommendation... save the money if you are looking for a pair of glasses to hear music, as there are more superior products out there. I suppose you get what you pay for.
