Myvu Shades 301 This is a groundbreaking product that you can watch videos, movies, play video games or just listen to your favorite band while wearing a new style of sunglasses.

Once you slip on these space age shades, you’ll be tuned in for hours. From the outside, it looks like you are a member of the Enterprise. From first person view, your eyes are blocked from the sun and you get great sound and video from an iPod or other electronic device.

Why it rocks:

Really cool technology that is compatible with your favorite portable electronics
Has pretty good sound and visual display for its small size
Very easy to transport or take with you on a trip
The viewing experience is private, only you can see
Three different brightness levels
Very light weight, you barely feel that it’s on your face
Where ever you look, the display stays right with your eyes
Battery life lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge

What I don’t like:

The excess cords that are attached
The plastic frames worry me a little on its durability.

Price: $199.95

The Shades 301 are very user friendly, it has different cable hookups depending on what kind of media you want to use. One thing I like about these is whichever way you move your head, the feed goes with your eyes. The ear buds that come on the glasses are nice because they help cut out surrounding noise so you don’t have to have the volume up really loud. It comes with a cloth carrying case so you can keep the cords you need together. Recharging time is about 2-3 hours from a wall charger but it can take a little longer if it’s hooked up to your computer’s USB drive.

Overall: 8.5/10

It’s nice to sit back with your favorite movie and watch it whenever and wherever. If it’s late and you don’t want to wake everyone up or your on public transportation and need your comedy fix.
