HUAWEI X Gentle Monster Eyewear II has boldly ventured where few other glasses have dared to go, by integrating cutting-edge technology and high-end fashion. The glasses come with a crafted dual-zipper case, allowing you to stand out from the crowd, and express yourself in new ways.
Lens Category 3, i.e your standard sunglass level that Oakley, Ray Ban, Maui etc all are rated to as well.

Shut up and take my money.
No offence to OP.
I thought these might have some basic "google glass" type features.
But after watching some reviews - they're basically headphones incorporated into a single style of sunnies (which I probably wouldn't choose)?
That zipper case tho…
The zipper case is very nice. I got a pair of these (but the Havana model) and the black case feels very premium. Only thing that sucks about it is it doesn't have an internal battery so it can't act is a portable charger for the glasses. You gotta connect it via USBC to charge.
Has it already started or is it live at 8pm? Thanks.
That's good price for gentle monster. I wanna remove huawei logo on there.
Why do I want it?
I feel super old sometimes when I see stuff like this, like a dude getting my kids to program the VCR.
Literally the most pointless product.
I want one.
Me too!
Is it just headphones integrated into sunglasses? I’m still waiting for something like Google glass that doesn’t make the wearer look like a complete glasshole.
Also for something that fits people with larger than average heads. Having a fat head makes almost all of the wearable face wear stuff feels (and looks) like I’m wearing something made for a kid.
more like tiny speakers integrated into the sunglasses' arms. Nothing actually plugged into your ears or placed over your ears.
A sparkling new acoustic system
ok
I know marketing speak for "still working through some electrical faults" when I hear it
So, bone conduction sunglass headphones?
Not bone conduction.
The arms of the glasses have speakers firing into your earhole.
128mm large diaphragm, where does it fit into?
CCP workaround for the tinfoil hat brigade….
F THE CCP
That’s what I was wondering.. people were boycotting Huawei phones
What's the battery life like?
about 5 hours of straight music usage when connected via bluetooth.
Have you got a pair, recommend?
Yep, not the sunglasses model though. I got a clear lens model so I installed my prescription lens on it. I like listening to music and videos while being able to listen to my environment. Build quality is premium as well (as are most Huawei products).
@simpnation: Hi, thanks for that
I want to use it as a hands free phone receiver, how good is the reception, voice quality etc?
@8200: Yep that'll work well. Connection quality is the same as your other bluetooth headphones (it has bluetooth 5.2). Mic quality is pretty good and clear (done tests myself) and the other person's voice quality is nice and clear (got not problems hearing other people's voices).
I'd just preface that if you're getting the Sunglasses version, you'll wont be able to use the glasses everywhere you go (e.g. in an office or at home or at night).
I got a pair of these but with the model with clear lens so I got prescription lens installed. Battery lasts about 5 hours of straight music and microphone works well. I got another pair coming on the way from Taobao (clear lens again, but different frame style) so when one pair runs out, I can immediately switch out to the other pair and keep on keepin'. I wear these at work and when I'm out and about.
Off topic, is there an eng version of taobao?
no english version, but you can use google translate.
Looks cool, but price tag is a tad steep.
I've heard of Gentle Monster brand solely from my endless hours of watching kpop and kdrama

What’s the safety rating on the sun eye protection of these sunglasses?
