Myvu Crystal 701

(2 out of 5)

MSRP: $299

This wearable media viewer delivers quality audio and video, but we don’t recommend using it for extended periods.

Resembling the futuristic eyewear of alien conquerors in sci-fi movies, the Myvu Crystal 701 attempts to bring multimedia junkies the immersing experience of watching a movie in their own private screening room. While the Myvu Crystal 701 admittedly sports a far sleeker and stylish design than its video-eyewear brethren, and does a good job of displaying video, the piercing eye strain that comes with just a few minutes of viewing content overcomes most of the positive aspects of the headset. Design Weighing a total of 6 ounces (4.1 ounces for the glasses, 1.9 ounces for the pendant controller), the Myvu Crystal 701 is heavy—very heavy. So much so that the rubber noseguard kept sliding down the bridge of our nose, requiring us to push the Myvu back into place every few seconds, which was highly annoying.
