If we are new to this technology and want to learn more, you have come to the right guide: here we will show you in fact what features must-have glasses with integrated audio and, as per tradition, we will show you the best models you can buy on Amazon saving and getting the full refund guarantee in case of problems or even simply in case of change of mind (aspect not to be underestimated with an aesthetic accessory such as sunglasses).
Bluetooth sunglasses: which ones to choose
In the first chapter of the guide, we will show you which features must-have sunglasses with Bluetooth audio to distinguish themselves from copies or products that pretend to be such but in reality, they are not recommended or worse they do not work.
Once we have seen the features we will find the inevitable chapter with the buying guide, with the best models available on Amazon.
Technical features
Bluetooth sunglasses must meet the following requirements to be considered as such:
- Polarized lenses: since these are sunglasses, the lenses must obviously be polarized, in order to protect from reflecting sun rays on surfaces such as sand, sea, and snow (let’s not underestimate the danger in the mountains, where the sun reflects even more than the sea!).
- Replaceable lenses: Even if it is a feature of the more expensive models, it is certainly a good thing to be able to replace the lenses with prescription lenses (to be obtained from your trusted optician) or with new stronger, or different colored sun lenses.
- Sound transmission: the sound can be transmitted either through simple earphones hidden in the frame (to be inserted in the ears) or through conductors for bone transmission, which transmit sound through vibrations that reach our ear through the bones of the skull.
- Connectivity: All sunglasses of this type can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth connection, so you can listen to music and answer phone calls without taking the phone out of your pocket or bag.
- Autonomy: given the limited space available, the lithium battery must be sufficient to guarantee at least 4-5 hours of continuous listening before discharging completely. To listen to music for longer we will have to consider the purchase of a power bank.
Only after verifying these characteristics can we proceed with the purchase of sunglasses with Bluetooth audio.
