Ditch Your Earbuds for These Incredible Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses

If you’re the type of person who is constantly listening to music or podcasts, you probably have multiple pairs of headphones. Maybe you have a pair of noise-canceling cans to wear during the day, a pair of wireless earbuds to travel with, and some sports headphones to take to the gym. But if you don't have a pair of Bluetooth sunglasses yet, you're missing out on one of the most convenient ways to listen to music on the go.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Bluetooth sunglasses are eyewear with built-in audio. They have tiny embedded speakers that fire audio into your ears, and they pair to your smartphone over a wireless Bluetooth connection. Some pairs even have a microphone for phone calls. They’re a new way to consume music and podcasts without disturbing those around you or isolating you from the outside world, either.

The first time our editors tried a pair of Bluetooth sunglasses, our jaws dropped at how futuristic-feeling they are. It truly seems magical how the music comes out so clearly but discreetly. We spent the past couple of weeks investigating this emerging product category to bring you the best Bluetooth sunglasses that'll let you listen to audio anytime and anywhere.

How We Chose

To separate the best from the rest, we spent several hours evaluating 20 different pairs of Bluetooth sunglasses. We compared their feature sets, technical specs, battery life, plus, we read dozens of reviews from other publications and from owners themselves. We also tested a few pairs to scrutinize their comfort, sound quality, microphone quality, design, ease of use, and how fast they could pair to a smartphone.

Of course, you could just wear your regular sunglasses and wireless earbuds together, instead of shelling out the money for a pair of Bluetooth headphones. However, we think this new product category is both exciting and convenient. Not only that, Bluetooth sunglasses don't isolate you from the outside world like regular earbuds, so they're better suited for users who want to hear their surroundings.
