Excellent Quality Recording for Outdoors, Not Good for Close-Up Shots
The media could not be loaded. First of all, I must say that these glasses felt like a quality product from the moment I removed them from their packaging. They are thick enough to feel sturdy but not so thick that they are bulky or heavy. One review said that these glasses were bulkier than the photo, and that person must have received a different version of glasses than me because these looked exactly like the photo.The glasses I got were the mid-range 128 GB ones with blue lenses. I purchased additional lenses from the same manufacturer, including some clear lenses. The lenses were good quality, especially for the price, and easily changeable.The glasses look good. I would wear them if they didn't have any smart features because they are stylish. They came with a nice and sturdy hard protective carrying case, manual, cleaning cloth, and cable. The cable is a USB-C to USB-A cable that also comes with a USB-A to USB-C adapter for you to be able to connect from the glasses' USB-C port straight to another USB-C port. I've read reviews stating that a straight USB-C to USB-C cable does not work with these, but I did not test that.The 4k video looked clear. I could see every blade of grass on my lawn, which is one of the first things I noticed when video technology advanced into high definition.Some things to keep in mind: Our eyes absorb lots of movement so that we can see clearly and have a stable image, even when walking. These glasses do not have an image or video stabilizer, so the video being recorded will appear rougher than it seems when you're in the moment and recording. So, you kind of have to act like the Terminator, moving your head slowly back and forth to provide a stable viewing experience. Your head and body are your tripod.The camera is at the top-center of the frames, above one's nose, on the bridge of frames. I found out that if you want something that is a bit closer to be more focused and at the center of the screen, you have to hold it above where your eyes are because the camera is above your eyes. However, these glasses are not made for close-up recording.My intended purpose for these glasses was to open packs of sports cards on camera while making it easy on my back by providing the ability to record while sitting instead of standing. Unfortunately, these glasses do not focus on close objects well enough to show the statistics on the backs of the cards clearly. In fact, if you want to record indoors at all, you need to have good lighting with these glasses otherwise the video may look fuzzy. With insufficient lighting, I was unable to make out even the athlete's name on the front of the cards, let alone any fine print on the back. In one of my photos, you can see that there are a number of baseball card packages in the background that are clearer than the two cards I am holding right in front of the glasses and there is pretty good lighting.There's a video I uploaded where I go outside and read the back of a baseball card or fine print on packaging. My apologies for the quick movements as I wasn't intending to use this video for a review, but merely to see if I can get the glasses to focus in on fine print in the sunlight to see if I can gain a similar effect by properly setting up lighting indoors. But the glasses do not focus on the card nor the fine print from the box. Instead, you can see my dog and the bricks on my house very clearly behind the card, yet the fine print on the card is blurry. It would be cool to be able to manually focus with these, but it's not an option. And FYI, I attempted recording with different resolutions and got similar results, but the video is shot in 4k.The glasses don't connect to any display in real-time, so you have to learn how to use the glasses by recording, then plugging them into your computer to check the recording, then unplugging them to go record video again, then returning to the computer to check the new video. It can be an annoying process.Don't buy these glasses thinking that you'll be able to rig up a live stream because the glasses don't transmit live video-- they simply have a storage device on them. Windows 11 will not detect your glasses as a camera. It will detect them as a thumb drive. There is no wireless connectivity with these glasses either, so connectivity is via cable or nothing.Overall, I think I would really love these glasses for recording while driving in case there's an accident or recording nature (like the product is actually marketed to do). I had problems because I attempted to use these glasses for a purpose other than what they were intended. They were intended to be worn while you are outside in the sun and they work very well for that purpose. They were not intended to be worn indoors while opening up packaging and displaying fine print and they do not work well for that. But you can see in my outdoor video that it records pretty clearly outside, just not up close.These glasses are of excellent quality and seem to be durable. They don't feel flimsy whatsoever. I think they are cool, not only in appearance but in ability. I think that they are probably underpriced and you're getting a really good deal with them. They are priced like a really good pair of sunglasses and I got the impression that they were a really good pair of sunglasses that come with video, audio, and photo capabilities. I think a good pair of Oakleys would cost around the same or more and they don't do anything special except look good. So I think these glasses are a really good value for your money.Ultimately, I returned both the glasses and the extra lenses I purchased. I considered keeping them because they are cool but unfortunately, I was purchasing these as a business expense and my business cannot use them. But because the glasses were such excellent quality, I feel bad for returning them because I purchased them for a purpose for which they were not intended.This is the first positive review I've ever done on a product I returned and it may be the last. If I'm in the market for something like this in the future as a personal shopper, or specifically for recording outdoor videos, I will check out OhO first because they are underpriced for the quality they produce.

Horrible Support.
Did not work from the first day I got it, and when I tried to reach out to Support, they told me there was nothing they could do for me. I asked them to send a replacement and they said no I just have to go to Amazon for the refund.

Incredible Quality
The video is unbelievably clear for a camera at this price point. I was also surprised by the quality of the sound recording. When I edited the video and uploaded it to YouTube, it was very well-received

High-quality unstable video
First of all, our brains do an incredible amount of stabilizing what we see, however, these camera glasses do not...keep that in mind. They are overall pretty decent, but there are some pretty big pros and cons. The idea of having a camera in your glasses is very good in theory, but in reality, there are some issues.Here’s what I like:- high-quality video- worked with Windows and Mac- able to take photos- glasses look normal...they aren’t obviously wearable technology- great for recording things you experience without having to hold on to a camera, tripod, selfie-stick, etc.- as a soccer official, I could easily use these sunglasses to record my performance for self-critique- high-capacity memory that can record a couple hours worth of high-quality video- able to transfer files via the include USB cable- video recording is discreet...there’s nothing on the outside of the frames that indicate its filming- the glasses are comfortable on my face and are not excessively bulky- come with a nice case and sleeve, therefore are easily transportable- I tested these out while wearing a baseball cap and the bill of the cap did not get in the shot- Sun-wise, the sunglasses themselves do as good of a job as my regular sunglassesThe things I don’t like so much:- video/photo quality is unchangeable...you don’t have any other options- while a camera in your glasses seems like a great idea, there is still A LOT of shake and instability, so don’t expect a video that perfectly matches what you’re seeing/experiencing. There is no built-in stabilizer function!- video files are HUGE and my average computers had a hard time playing the video without playback issues- I could NOT get this to work with my Linux laptop- photos can ONLY be taken WHILE RECORDING VIDEO...come on!!- the photos themselves are not great quality. In bright light (i.e. outside during daytime sunlight), it was decent, but in lower-light scenarios, I found the photos to be a bit grainy and not very sharp. I was expecting much better, but my phone takes much better quality photos, so this function, while still helpful, isn’t as helpful as what it could be.- despite very simple operation, I still have issues operating it. I’m never quite sure if I’m still recording or not.- I find the angle of the lens to be ever-so-slightly higher than what I’d prefer, so when you’re standing in front of a person shorter than you, their head gets cut off in the shot if you don’t angle your head down.- the audio quality of the video isn’t as good as what I was hoping, but perhaps that’s because all my tests were outdoors- There’s no way to review, work with, delete, etc. the files aside from on the laptop.BOTTOMLINE: These glasses are very helpful when you (1) want high-quality video and are not moving your head around much, and (2) have a computer that is compatible and has the hardware to handle the large file sizes.

Close, but not quite
The video is just a subpar quality, especially when motion is involved.

Nice camera sunglasses
My husband actually uses this everytime he drives instead of a regular dashcam. He said it's better to record his point of view compared to the car's point of view. Of course except night time coz he wont see that much if he uses them since they do actually makes things darker which means its really good to use on a sunny day. Easy to use, easy to connect to the app and comfortable to wear.

JUNK - avoid these, not able to download videos
These look good until you try to download the videos. Very unstable, and mine just quit linking up to my PC after a couple uses. Company website is useless and support email bounced back, so you're on your own if there's an issue.There is NO stabilization so in theory video glasses seem like a good idea, but IF you can download your video, it will make you nauseous trying to watch it, because it bounces all over the place.Use your iphone and avoid these pieces of junk, trust me.

Sport mode
These are really sporty, they fit very well and hold nicely. Lots of tech here. Perfect for the outdoor adventures. Good video and Bluetooth, a real upgrade to the Bluetooth glasses
