There’s a pair of smart glasses that kept popping up on “best smart glasses” lists that I’d literally never heard of, so I bought them with my own money to see what the hype was about: the Camelo (Camilo?) Music Shield. The reason these are going viral is simple—the electrochromic dimming. It’s basically electronic transition lenses, but you control it manually with a slider on the side. And it’s not just two modes either: it’s stepless, so you can stop anywhere between clear and dark. In person, that effect is wild, and it’s honestly one of the coolest “party trick” features I’ve seen on non-AR glasses. But these aren’t just about the tint. They’ve got open-ear audio, a mic for calls, and a single multi-function button that handles play/pause, answering/ending calls, rejecting calls, and triggering your phone’s voice assistant (Siri/Google). Sound quality is basically on par with Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Vanguard, and the fit surprised me—49g (about Meta weight) and they feel lighter because of the nose pads. Battery-wise, they claim about 6.5 hours for audio use and around 100 hours for tint adjustments, plus fast charging to 80% in about 30 minutes. If you want full AI/camera features, these aren’t that—but for viral tint + solid audio, I can actually recommend them.
