Lucyd - Lyte Square Wireless Connectivity Audio Sunglasses - Starseeker

Lucyd Starseeker Smart Glasses offer a way for you to enjoy music, calls, and voice assistants without any wires or earbuds. They have four speakers built into the temples/arms that deliver reasonably immersive sound to your ears. I was impressed by the design and functionality of these glasses. They are lightweight and comfortable to wear, and they have touch controls on the sides that let you adjust the volume, skip tracks, answer calls, and activate voice assistants. The sound quality exceeded my expectation, and the battery life is decent. Battery life should be up to 12 hours before needing to recharge them. However, there are some drawbacks that I noticed. The glasses use a proprietary charger cable that is not compatible with other devices, which can be quite inconvenient should you forget to take the cable with you. The phone calls sound distant and echoey, and the other person can hear everything around me despite the dual noise cancelling microphones. They also don't automatically turn off if I take the glasses off and set them down or put them in their case. On the plus side, they do include a solid protective case for the glasses. There is also a downloadable app available for iOS (Android version "coming soon") that allows you speak to ChatGPT through Siri. I wasn't able to test it out as I have an Android phone. Overall, I think Lucyd Starseeker Smart Glasses could be a great option for people who want to enjoy music and calls without drowning out the outside world. They are light, compact, and certainly stylish, and they offer an easy and convenient audio experience. However, they are not perfect, and in my opinion they have some limitations that may impact your satisfaction.

Never knew how much I would enjoy bundling sunglasses with audio. I remember my sunglasses 99% of the time but always forget to bring my earbuds on my dog walks or just being out and about. The Lucyd brings both sunglasses and speakers into one. In the box, it comes with everything you need. A nice carrying case, lens cleaning cloth, charging cables and wall adapter. The charging cable appears to be proprietary so make sure not to misplace those. Initial setup is straight forward but I ran into technical difficulties where the Luycd would appear twice in my Bluetooth list on my iPhone and only playing music in one ear or the other. I knocked a rating star down for this. After a few days of communicating with tech support, it appears that the factory missed a step on making sure the left temple was paired with the right temple before reaching consumers. Once I was able to pair the left temple to the right temple, pairing the right temple to my phone was as easy as any other Bluetooth speaker out there. And yes, each temple of the glasses has their own power on/off buttons. You have to long press both buttons on each temple simultaneously to turn them on and off. Sound quality was a bit disappointing. It does the job of listening to music and taking calls but don’t expect any dynamics or bass out of the tiny speakers. It’s also not bone conducting. If you sit close to someone else, they will be able to hear what you’re listening to. It is in stereo sound but just don’t expect them to replace your AirPods or similar nicer sounding earbuds for serious listening. I do appreciate the open ear concept so I can hear traffic, etc but the speakers are tiny and therefore doesn’t have the volume to overcome loud background noises. Works great in a quiet neighborhood but good luck if you’re walking in the city or near a busy street. I did take a few calls with the Lucyd and the people on the other line couldn’t tell between my sunglasses or earbuds. I would consider that to be a huge win on the microphone department. The fit and adjustments can be a hit or miss. The temples on my “Starseeker” model doesn’t have the flex hinges so it sits tight against my head at first. Read a few tips online to use the nose bridge to bend the temples out to your liking. The temples are larger than regular as it houses the battery and speaker. It does hide well and only a keen eye can tell you’re not wearing regular sunglasses. I also picked the “Starseeker” for adjustable nose pads. Lens appears to be glass or a very plastic. I couldn’t tell but feels premium. Love the polarized lenses for outdoors but good luck glancing at other electronic displays in your car. In summary, I do recommend someone that wants to listen to tunes or take a call while they are outside enjoying a sunny day. It’s not the best fitting glasses nor the best sounding headphones so take that into consideration on the nuances of combining them both. Things I would like to see improved on is some kind of battery gauge or verbal communication on battery level. It’s rated for 12hours but I have no idea in between on how much power is left.

The Lucyd – Lyte Starseekers Square has a combination of style and functionality. The glasses themselves are sleek and light and overall fit in with the current style of glasses. As I am sure you are aware, you can connect the glasses Bluetooth to your phone, laptop, or Bluetooth devices. I myself used them on my Pixel Fold and was able to listen to my YouTube videos and Audiobooks just fine. The sound will definitely not blow you away, but the ability to use glasses to listen to what you normally use a pair of earbuds or headphones is a HUGE plus. The glasses have up to 8 hours of juice and a touch control that allows you to adjust volume, skip tracks to the next and answer calls. I did have a bit of a hard time in crowded loud areas, but to be honest, I do not think I will find myself listening to anything in such a place, but keep that in mind when you are out and about. Inside the box you get a cool folding hard case (A++ Design), charging cable and cleaning cloth. Overall, these are a good pair of smart glasses that have the style and connectivity to compete with any other device on the market.
