Although this isn’t the first of its kind to come into being, it still finds itself in a rather niche spot. For most of the part, products like this don’t have the versatility and flamboyance to meet everyone’s fashion sense. For another, there’s a long way to go before such products are perfected to strike a harmonious balance between utility and comfort.
The pair in question here come in a light brown tint firmly placed in what feels like nylon fiber frame. You can flip the lenses and according to promotional material there's mention of a certain number of changeable lenses.
Now to talk about what you would really be buying this for — the music. It’s surprisingly good. Surprising because they really didn’t pay too much attention to the ergonomics, but have provided a good warm sound. I like the fact that it’s pretty loud for outdoor listening, since I don’t see why anyone should wear this indoors at all. You can always flip the lens when you listen to music at night. This will make you look quite silly though.
You cannot replace the earphones, but the existing ones (that when left dangling looks like sidelocks) are good. The bass is quite effective and there's not a lot of treble response.
It comes with precious few buttons, because you have to use them while the glasses are on. Each button has a dual function, and these are easy to remember. The glasses are availlable in 512MB and 1GB capacity.
Not everyone will be able to carry off these glasses well.only a few will and the rest will look like nincompoops. That's the problem with such accessories; you can choose them only if they suit you. For biking purposes, I think they will work just fine though.
The aigo iSonic MP3 sunglasses cost Rs 6,000. This is quite steep, considering they are rather uncomfortable and can give you a headache in a few minutes. If you are an outdoorsy kind of a guy it makes some sense, otherwise imagine sitting at your desk in office wearing these!
