These new smart glasses cost $199.99 and will be available mid-November, Anker said. While the company offers 10 different styles of frames to choose from, the temples are only available in one style. Each side contains two speakers for optimum sound quality. Customers will have the choice between blue-light filtering, prescription, and polarized lenses. While companies like Razer have adopted similar technology, Anker makes it quite easy to switch frames. While the speakers are loud enough, people around you are unlikely to hear whatever’s playing on it. However, the speaker could be audible to others around you in an indoor or quieter environment. Anker is also using two microphones to block out ambient noise during calls.

The Soundcore Frames are IPX4 certified water-resistant as well, offering decent protection against the elements. As for battery life, Anker says the glasses can offer 5.5 hours of continuous audio playback. If you’re on the fence about the idea of smart glasses, the company’s Soundcore app lets users try on the glasses virtually. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices. Anker is running a promo where users can get an additional frame for just $1 if they pledge their interest in the product before October 31. Customers who make the pledge will receive a code, which will be valid from November 1 through November 10.
