Better with Apple Watch

Just a first impression Review - received today. Like many of you, I've spent hours reading reviews and searching YouTube for information. Among the various in-ear headphones, many reviewers seem to see little value in bone conduction glasses in the $130-$200 price range. Also mixed reviews for brands like VocalSkull in the $100 range. But many of them have touch functions on the temples - swipe to skip tracks, tap to answer a call, etc. These glasses DO NOT have these functions. There is only one desktop - one button. Press and hold Siri, long press to pair, long press to turn off. Siri activation is not transmitted over the microphone - the phone must be within earshot. I had moderate expectations for $59, which were mostly met. I would say the sound is good. The geek factor is that ambient music plays out of the glasses. The mids are good, the vocals are quite clear, the bass is normal but weaker. Calling sounds good. The caller told me my voice sounds as good as a car radio or an Apple Watch call. The result is an elegant lifehack - using sunglasses with a watch. You can connect the glasses directly to the watch to play saved music from the watch. Or as long as the phone is within range (in a pocket or bag), accessing Siri or music controls on the watch worked fine when the glasses were " Tried on at night, burning music only for an hour. No reports of lens tint/tint quality or battery life. Oh, another reviewer commented that the dual display is blinking and distracting. You were right. About 0.75 inches from the right inner temple, there is a blue flash about every 8 seconds. I think a piece of tape or a dab of paint might fix it, but damn designers. Come on! I bought them for the beach. I expect her request to be pleasantly granted: some music, a few waves and still sounding like a beer can opening "fffssssttttt". Damn designers. Come on! I bought them for the beach. I expect her request to be pleasantly granted: some music, a few waves, and still be heard like a beer can saying "
