"There are a lot of high-tech smart glasses nowadays, and not all of them are created equal. Some of them have screens, some of them have AI, others well, they don't have much to offer at all. But if there's one thing that you might want out of a pair of glasses with wires in them, it's audio. I've maintained that glasses are perfect conduits for open-ear audio, and as someone who's worn the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses extensively over the past two years,"
"Having speakers in your glasses lets you take hands-free calls, listen to music while still hearing your surroundings, and theoretically, you don't need to reach for a separate device like wireless earbuds or headphones to do all that, since your glasses are waiting patiently on your face. But what if you don't want all the potentially problematic stuff that comes with smart glasses, like AI, or discreet cameras, or screens? What if you just want to listen to stuff?"
High-tech smart glasses vary widely, with some offering screens or AI while others offer limited functionality. Glasses can serve as effective open-ear audio conduits for hands-free calls and music while maintaining awareness of surroundings. Chamelo Music Shield targets users seeking audio-first eyewear with a wraparound design, adjustable lenses, and substantial volume. The Music Shield retails for $260 and ships with a regular, non-charging case. Chamelo is backed by former New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury as Chief Brand Officer. The frames omit common smart features: no voice assistant, camera, computer vision, or screen.
