January 12, 2023 Smart-ish Sunglasses
Today on the show, Steven and Shaun are joined by listener Gordon Anthony, who tells us about his love of audio sunglasses.
The guys discuss how Gordon got into the devices, following a review of the Bose Frames on Double Tap years ago. However, with wear and tear and issues with the design of the glasses themselves, Gordon has been forced to try other types from brands such as Rokit and Anker.
Today, Gordon reviews what he thinks might be the best in a bad bunch and shares his review of the OhO sunglasses.
