I’ve been trying to find a pair of smart glasses that keep the useful bits without the privacy concerns or the premium price. In this video I test a couple of very cheap pairs from Ohio Sunshine, including audio glasses and camera glasses, to see whether they’re actually good enough in real use.
Here are the OHO Sunshine 01 glasses (with just audio): amzn.to/4sKIDE7
And the OHO Sunshine 04 glasses, (with just video): amzn.to/3PleWeo
Ray Ban Meta: amzn.to/4lyRmqG
Oakley Meta HSTN: amzn.to/4lyRmqG
Oakley Meta Vanguard: amzn.to/4bI5pH0
I check the design, audio quality, lens quality, ease of use, and camera performance, then take them onto the slopes to see how they compare with the Oakley Meta smart glasses that have been so impressive on holiday. The result is pretty clear: some of the budget options are usable, but there are still some very obvious compromises.
If you’ve been wondering whether cheap smart glasses are finally worth buying, this should help.
