Razer Anzu Smart Glasses With Built-in Speakers, Touch Controls Launched

Razer Anzu Smart Glasses have launched in the US. Razer describes them as open-ear audio glasses that also filter blue light, to reduce eyestrain from computers and other screens. Going by the design though, it looks more like there are small speakers in the temples of the glasses, which offer directional sound aimed at the wearer’s ears. Razer offers two designs for the Anzu Smart Glasses — round and rectangular, and there are two size options as well. They come in a single colour option and have touch controls on the temples. Razer Anzu Smart Glasses are thicker than your average spectacles but not so much that they stand out. The smart glasses are lightweight as well, with the small size rectangle model being the lightest of the variants.

Razer Anzu Smart Glasses price

Razer Anzu Smart Glasses are priced at $199.99 (roughly Rs. 14,600) and are available in the US via Razer’s website. They are currently out of stock and Razer has not shared any information on the pair’s international availability yet. They come in round and rectangle shapes as well as small/ medium and large sizes.
