Do you get what you pay for or not?

I quite often play video games for 8+ hours almost every day when I have the opportunity outside of work. Although I bought these glasses with the thought "You get what you pay for." Now that I received these glasses for the first time I was very impressed with the packaging and the look of the glasses. Although after 2 weeks of use I've noticed a lot of good and bad things about these glasses. Pros: - They have very minimal color distortion but still yellow slightly, although not very noticeable. - These glasses look very nice, they can even wear out if I want to - I've noticed a slight reduction in eye strain after the game, although I still had a hard time falling asleep at night afterwards - Carrying case and case are pretty good at that. The bag can be used as a microfiber cloth. I've never had any issues with eyeball reflections etc. However, if I had a light in my room I might notice that the inner lens illuminates the surroundings slightly, but that's a normal thing for glasses. . It takes time to get used to. The hinges look well made and can last a long time. Cons: The area where the nose pad is held looks weird when removed. Most likely because of the pressure on my nose. (Remember I've been wearing them for 2 weeks and I'm still having this issue. Maybe it's just a personal issue.) - They weren't very comfortable for me after a good amount of time. them away for both my head and my eyes. (I have a fairly standard sized head and my glasses creaked for a few days when I first put them on.) - Feels very cheap, every time I clean them (which is often) I feel that I have to be very careful not to do it - you get EASILY dirty just touching the lenses when trying to adjust them, or your brows touching them leave marks! The sad truth is that even with a microfiber cleaning cloth these goggles will take a good cleaning time to clear again or you will be left with dirty/fogged lenses. - Literally MADE IN CHINA on the inside of the frame. Seriously, I paid $100 for a pair of gaming glasses. I'd rather see a logo than a logo in this price range. Final Verdict: I'll say they're a 6.5/10 for the price and build quality. In my eyes they are definitely not worth $100, maybe $59.99 to $79.99 will do. However, if you want glasses to help a little with eye fatigue and eye redness, even though they are expensive, they will help. Will I recommend? No, mainly due to the high price factor you will find many doing the same thing for less.
