Razer Anzu

BLUE-LIGHT FILTERING GLASSES for streamers and gamers (or anyone who spends over five hours a day staring at a monitor) aren’t new, but they’re surging in popularity. Companies such as Blux have released prescription blue-light blocking specs in partnership with esports teams; now Razer has entered the fray with a unique approach.

The Anzu smart glasses are a union of blue-light filtering lenses and smart assistant tech, which consists of builtin headphones, a microphone, and invisible touch controls. They connect to your device of choice via Bluetooth, linking automatically to a paired device when you unfold them.

The Anzu specs were designed with gamers in mind, demonstrated by a gaming mode that triggers ultralow-latency audio and a game-oriented sound mix. Naturally, they’re well equipped to work with smart assistant tools such as Google Assistant and Siri. A variety of intuitive touch controls function via hidden pads on each arm.

The glasses feel like a piece of concept hardware, made of glossy plastic, with blue status LEDs on the inside of each arm. They come in round or rectangular frames, and our rectangular pair is very comfy to wear for long periods.
