Because more of us spend all day time on our game monitors, it’s never been so important to protect your eyes from the blue light they emit. If you have purchased a new computer monitor in the last few years, chances are that a blue light filter is probably built into your monitor. Windows 10 has its own night mode that you can also turn on and off. But would you go so far as to spend $ 200 on special blue filter glasses? This is what Razer’s new Anzu smart glasses are all about, though they also double as polarized sunglasses, and it has a built-in microphone and speakers, so you can call on it and listen to music. I swear I’m not making it up.
Razer’s Anzu smart glasses, announced overnight during their RazerStore Live event, are their first foray into the world of glasses. Weighing just under 48g, according to Razer, blue light filter filters have been installed outside the box to reduce the screen brightness by 35%, but they also have 99% UVA / UVB polarized sunglasses that you can swap in and out of. for when you go outside. You can also choose from circular or rectangular lenses, depending on your preference, and prescription versions will also be available thanks to their partnership with Lensabl.
The crazy thing, though, is that you can also talk and listen to these glasses, because Razer has plugged a small, omidirectional microphone into it and some speakers in the Anzu, so you can take calls and listen to music with them. They also support Bluetooth 5.1, and Razer says their ‘leading 60ms latency’ will ensure smooth, hackless sound. The downside? They only have five hours of battery life, and you need to charge them to go further. Of course, this does not affect the protection offered by the lenses, but it may not take a whole Destiny 2 knockout if you want to use it to chat with your mates.
The frame of the Anzu also has touch-sensitive arms that you can tap to skip, play or pause your music, take calls and even use your phone’s voice assistant. It’s hard to say how audible the ‘open-ear’ sound of the Anzu will be to those around you, admittedly, but if you want to believe the RazerStore Live hosts in the video above, it sounds like (sorry) that u ‘I will be able to listen to music without anyone being the pointer.
Maybe they believe more when you see it (or need to hear it?) An agreement, but I do not know. Even if the music claims to be true, $ 200 still feels like an exorbitant amount of money to spend by default on something that is already built into many game monitors. Likewise, I am also the person who wears contact lenses, precisely because I find my glasses very annoying, and therefore it is just one big old NOEP to put another pair on my face.
Maybe, however, I’m alone in this thinking, so I’m opening it up to you. Would you pay $ 200 for Razer’s Anzu glasses?
