 Great Toy for those Who Love High-Tech Gadgets July 11, 2008

Overall, I'd rate this a good product. The video resolution IS NOT just like that large screen TV at home, but it gives good video when you are trapped on a plane, etc. Battery life is +/- 3 hours (less than advertised) and customer support from the manufacturer is virtually hopeless, but hopelfully you won't need it. I used the glasses on a cross-country flight recently to replay 2 movies on the iPod (5th generation). The 640x480 resolution is a little grainy, but as soon as you get into the movie, you forget about it. I used my own earphones rather than the "speakers" mounted on the glasses (they are removable). The "speakers" don't quite reach my ears (oops, my big head) and besides, I prefer my Etymonic Research earphones on a noisy plane. I would work hard to get the best price available (the list price is a little too high for what you get), but at the right price, these are a great purchase for those of us who are drawn to high-tech toys.

I have been using them here and there for watching cartoons and somebr /movies. They are good but not great. The color looks better on the DVDbr /player than what come out of the glasses. I had no problem with vision br /being blurry or getting dizzy, but i can understand that it can happenbr /depending in what state of mind the viewier is in. Overall im pleasedbr /with them, but the price tag for the quality is a bit steep. I wouldbr /suggest to get them second hand.

I only gave it a 3 star because:br /1. There is no focus adjustment, i.e. if you wear glasses, you have to wear them for these to be in focus.br /2. The screens themselves have a severe pincushioning effect, i.e. they are not precise rectangles; the sides of the image are concaved towards the center of the screen.

Checked around, ordered through Amazon (from DataVision) at lowest price around, received in 3 days, charged it up (4 hrs) connected to my Ipod Video (80 GB)- Fantastic, video (though not HD) and audio. It was really easy to connect and even more enjoyable to use, rcommend this as it appears bulky in ads, but is really lightweight, use w/o lightshield allows you to see below the glasses and enables you to be aware of surroundings. Great price and quality (I also have the original Sony Glasstrons) so I think I am qualified to recommend this!)
