Razer’s Anzu smart glasses will filter out blue light and project audio into your ears without drowning out environmental sound completely. They are available starting at US$200 — cheaper than Amazon’s Echo Frames. According to specs sheets though, the Anzu is about 10 grams heavier than the Echo Frames. While Amazon only offered one lens shape, Razer will have round or rectangular options, and you can fit the Anzu with sunglasses lens attachments. It’s not yet clear whether the Anzu will be available in multiple colors, including the company’s signature green, but Amazon’s product comes in three hues. Like the Echo Frames, the Anzu offers touch controls via a panel on the side, and you can use this to manage music playback, accept or reject calls, activate your phone’s assistant or turn on “gaming mode.” They use a customized Bluetooth 5.1 connection that brings 60ms latency that should prevent your audio from stuttering. Also, Razer promises “more than five hours of battery life” and up to two weeks of stand-by power. There’s also an omnidirectional mic onboard so your callers can hear you. Finally, the Anzu is rated IPX4 so it’s splashproof. (SD-Agencies) |
