We've been seeing some revolutionary technologies lately. Not on some techblog either; we called them in, tried them out, and got a hang of true Chinese-style innovation. Often I have found no use for many of these contraptions. such as the MP4 watch that requires you to hold your hand up at a rather inconvenient viewing angle akin to the 80s TV program 'Giant Robot'. This we shall feature in a few days. Right now the object that holds my fascination happens to be the aigo iSonic MP3 sunglasses.
Although this isn’t the first of its kind to come into being, nor the only one we've laid our hands on, it still finds itself in a rather niche spot. For the most part, products like this don’t have the versatility and flamboyance to meet everyone’s fashion sense. For another, there’s a long way to go before such products are perfected to strike a harmonious balance between utility and comfort.
Now to talk about what you would really be buying this for — the music. It’s surprisingly good. Surprising because they really didn’t pay too much attention to the ergonomics, but have provided a good warm sound. I like the fact that it’s pretty loud for outdoor listening, since I don’t see why anyone should wear this indoors at all. You can always flip the lens when you listen to music at night. This will make you look quite silly though.
I have used the 1gig pair of these for over a year almost daily and never ever had a headache.
