Revolutionary Sunglasses? Kore, Ombraz, Peeq Review

[@tmango78]

Peeqs look like something you’d buy in a 20 pack and hand out in goodie bags at a child’s birthday party.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

The Ombraz works pretty good for water sports, like paddling and kayaking and boating could even use it for snowshoeing also anything that requires you to wear any top helmet, the lack of hard side bars makes it a lot easier. Also the Ombraz you don't tilt it up, you loosen it up and put it down around the neck. Works exceptionally well actually. So next time don't try to remove it, just wear it around your neck. < not affiliated with Ombraz, just find it useful as a boater.

[@punkypink83]

also a boater n kayaker and my 1st thought was also to wear the ombraz around your neck like a pair of goggles.

[@parker2627]

I absolutely second the neck thing - I have prescription lenses with a strap because the frames are a bit loose on me, and I always keep them around my neck when driving so I can just reach down and out them on without having to take my hat off. It looks a little silly perhaps, but it’s way easier (and safer!) than trying to take a hat off and put glasses on one-handed while also trying to steer.

[@pureevil79]

How well do the ombras work with long hair (if you may know)

[@mixeddrinks8100]

@@pureevil79 not good, I would go as far as to say... for people with hair range from shaved, bald, to hair clipper size 2 at max any longer will be hard to put on and take off without tangling and pulling your hair.

[@peeqglasses]

Appreciate the review! This is our beta test batch. Don’t forget the rubber sports tips are bendable to fit perfect on both sides:)

[@Moola868]

I can't imagine those Peeq glasses having such an over engineered hinge and yet just forgetting the ear pieces entirely. I would assume either those ear pieces can be removed and swapped or are flexible and can be bent in the opposite direction. It doesn't redeem the fact that they are the ugliest and least useful, but there is no way that's not just a user error flaw.

[@peeqglasses]

The rubber tips are fully bendable :)

[@thelemonwho]

The Ombraz look badass on ya, first look. Like a character who's absolutely necessary to get the crew through the mission, for sure.

[@catherineschulte6828]

I think the Ombraz would be nice for anyone who does a lot of outdoor work. Like gardening. Especially in hot summer weather.

[@highindex]

I am an optician so I don't mind calling myself an expert. I actually have a prototype of the reversible sunglasses. You may not have read the instructions properly , or you don't have the same one that I have . When you reverse them , the ends of the arms flay the wrong way. However, the ends of the arms are very bendable, and you are supposed to bend them with your fingers to curve in instead of curving out . On my prototype it's very easy to do. As for the lenses , if you notice, they are flat, unlike the others, which have a very distinct curve . Because the frame is reversible, the inventors don't have a choice but to use a flat lens. The problem with flat lenses is that the optics are not as sharp, but more importantly , because the lens is flat, you tend to get quite a bit of glare from any light source behind you.. The flatness of the lens acts like a mirror. Because the sunglasses are reversible, the inventors didn't really have much choice but to use a flat lens .

[@PickUps]

@Tim Rock-It Saunders there is also the magnetic frames you can snap ontop of alot of glasses now too. Infinite desings vs 2

[@lkayh]

The Ombraz isn’t going to be great for people who have (I’m sorry, James) hair. Your hair is going to get caught in the straps when you tighten. Plus as you move you’re going to get muffin hair. I like the way the Kore glasses block out the sides so you don’t get too much light (the whole point of sunglasses), altho that greatly reduces your peripheral vision. Reversible sunglasses? Not for me. The Kore would be my winner.

[@mickm6309]

I was thinking about people with longish hair who like to wear glasses under their hair. With normal glasses you can push the arms under your hair onto your ears, the Ombraz you would need to lift your hair up over the strap. (hope I am explaining myself here)

[@lkayh]

@@mickm6309 the thing is with the hard arms that loop over your ears, they stay stationary. I’m thinking from wearing sweat bands the way you suggest that your hair would push the strap down towards your neck until the glasses were at an angle. At least for me, my ears didn’t help as much, even tho the sweat bands stayed in place on the sides.

[@bluephreakr]

for anyone who wants wht the Ombraz provide with _any_ glasses, just buy some Crookies or whatever elastic strap you can find which fits onto a pair of regular glasses. So long the arms are thin enough what I am using works just fine.

[@Because_I_Felt_Like_It]

9:05 he pulled a Bobby Shmurda by tossing his hat up in the air and it never came back down 😂😂😂😂😂

[@johncampbell7433]

Bahaha out of nowhere the upside down test 😂 fantastic

[@SomeRandomMario]

The Ombraz could be left as a necklace when you take them off. So you don't actually have to deal with the hat issue and as a necklace you don't really need to store them anywhere. But personally my favorite thing about the Ombraz is that it solves one of the issues I've experienced with virtually all forms of glasses at some point. Eventually either by forgetting to take them off while sleeping/napping or by accidentally pressing them my glasses' temple/arms become misaligned and my frames become crooked or off-center. With the Ombraz this isn't an issue anymore. Love it.

[@JeEhaO]

Peeq looks like as if a designer tried too hard to create something that looks amazing, but it failed hard.

[@FireMageLayn]

Reversible sunglasses sounds cool, until you realize that reversible things are generally reversible for a reason, and there is no reason to want reversible sunglasses. Sunglasses are very function over form.

[@10191927]

How no one thought the frames would be an issue shows it was poorly thought out.

[@hollypierce3076]

The core pair would be my go to, just because they're very black and the magnet is a great addition!!

[@Dragnmastralex]

just imagine a vet with a plate in his head trying those on

[@IowaKim]

I would like the Ombraz when wearing earmuffs for ear protection. Regular frames dig into my head.

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

Kore sounds perfect...hell I wish my prescription glasses had those magnetic arms.

[@megashark5543]

Love sunglasses but cheap polarized ones

[@dbagga]

I would be interested in the Ombrez as prescription glasses instead of sunglasses. The adjustable strap instead of standard arms I feel would be more comfortable and better on the for long term wear. If they were a prescription the frame itself could be a little smaller and lighter and since theres nothing holding onto your ears you could always throw on sunglasses over them, unless they made some clip ons or something. Anyway, very interesting glasses, too expensive for me, but if I could choose a pair to just show up at my door, it'd definitely be the Ombrez. Theyre different and I tend to gravitate toward whatever isnt the norm.

[@locustsun]

Kind of a weird comparison because of the Ombraz being so different. While you can't clip them on something, you can just let them dangle around your neck and they are far less likely to break because they don't have hinges. The biggest concern for me with those was how tight they would have to be against your face. But, they sit completely differently than standard glasses and are so different because the frame is so different that I don't think it's really a comparison to standard sunglasses.

[@percypercy1929]

It's pretty clear from your video that you prefer polarized sunglasses. Non-polarized glasses can be beneficial in some cases. For example, you won't find a pilot ever wearing polarized subglasses on the job, as it will stop them reading the displays in the cockpit. For them polarized is really bad.

[@peeqglasses]

Correct! Pilots cannot legally use polarized lenses. Polarization does have its cons but a lot of people seem to “fall for it” in thinking they are always better. They do have good use cases though.

[@williamsugden5159]

That was fun! I loved the slide test!

[@bikeny]

Takin' one for the team, between the hair pinch and the slide bump.

[@26magicman26]

Whats so Smart about the Smart Magnets? That just sounds like regular magnets Lol

[@TdogGaming_Vods]

really awesome video! also ive gotten addicted to your channel, i was googling around for a review on the air up aand found your video, and wound up binging a ton of your videos

[@FUGP72]

Sure...that first one with the magnets seems great! But thanks to this metal plate I got back in 'Nam, now I can't get the damn things off me!

[@ferociousgumby]

😄

[@IowaKim]

Tee hee.

[@ricoviii1]

The one with the cord ones the cord is there so you can wear it around your neck without losing them

[@robertheinkel6225]

Actually the cord is the only thing that keeps them on your head.

[@lefroy1]

Man! They're trying it on with the price of things these days. None of them look like they cost more than a dollar or two to make in some Chinese factory. $120, $150 and $160? What a joke.

[@arottie4097]

Yup a Bad joke @ that. ;)

[@Goosefang]

That polarization card came with your Temu glasses, didn’t it?! I got the same one 😂

[@catw6998]

I have my own sun glasses that are rx but when I’m not driving, I just have a pair of cheaper sunglasses in the car. The Kore (magnet ones?) might be nice to try. My cheap pair when I take them off in the store and hang off my shirt or hoodie, feels like I could lose them.

[@Infinitygaming670]

Next video tree trimmers for that palm in the backyard 😅

[@MrMynameisjonaz]

Bro...... All these sunglasses look better than your normal 'Harry Potter' ones. But you do you brah!

[@brianargo4595]

Just a had a thought with with kores... There are people that give themselves magnet implants. They'd be damn secure on your dome if you lined them up properly.

[@galaxyguy4522]

Not that I’m defending the “Peeq” sunglasses, but doesn’t the back portion of the glasses bend? Is that not rubber? That would fix the “inside out/bowed out” issue.

[@vicm2925]

you have to bend the ear part of the peeq glasses when you flip them and they should be fine !

[@peeqglasses]

Bingo :)

[@AlcoholicPapi]

Ombraz are awesome. I love mine so much. Can’t go back to sunnies with arms, feels too uncomfortable.

[@Z1ldjian2785]

Pro tip on the Hombres and the string issue. What I do with my REVOS crystal lense sunglasses. Because the lens are made with crystal so kinda heavy. I used those glasses attachment that goes around the ends of ear frame (yes I know these done have them), but the same principle applies. I'd let them dangle from my ears. They never dropped.snd when ready to put back on just slip them back on. Better than letting hang from neck as they don't get in way if hanging from ears. Won't have to take on and off from top of head.

[@10191927]

😅 My $800 pair of prescription Tom Fords with Transitions are all I need.

[@seraphimvalkyrin4543]

Just curious but is there a wire in the Peeq glasses arms? Judging that they are reversible I would assume the arms would be able to be adjusted since they would naturally conform to the shape of your head and like yours, curve the wrong way if you reverse them.

[@electricamish8159]

First time I ever splurged and bought sunglasses that cost more than $20, I got a pair of those Kore. I lost them within a month. They were nice while I had them. They are a bit heavy, IMO.

[@cali4809]

"They're pulling N word" is what i kept heariing lol

[@Dragnmastralex]

makes me flash back to the sunglasses you reviewed that was a wrist slap bracelet.

[@RabidWolf1966]

I'll stick with my $5 Walmart specials

[@TYinNH]

I dont know about their glasses but I have the Kore X7 belt and it's phenomenal

Any chance you could test Weathertech/Husky/ect floor liners? Including the trunk mat?

[@Dizz2K7]

[@1252PFC]

Excuse me....the glasses with string is not friendly for people with hair. It is sure to leave a flat line in hair.

[@SensorySeekerStories]

The limits this man will go too to test products has no limits 😂 love it

[@Ve55el]

More slide tests!!

[@NeuroUMW]

This is peak dad content, and I love it so much.

[@JDM12983]

Yeah, soon as I saw the words "next gen"; knew that was code for "expensive as hell". lol

[@harshreality2672]

I'd be nervous having those strong magnets on the Core so close to my brain! 😬

[@whisky3566]

hey James where did you get the Maxjuli tester thanks for the great videos

[@jw3521]

The Peeq are just not right at all. They are flat across the face, glasses should have at least some curve so you don't end up with a huge gap on each side of your face that would let in a bunch of unwanted sunlight. as far as the others i bet you can get different color lenses from them, if not suggest it to them!

[@wamrainc176]

Mr. White another brilliant video thank you. Can I please ask you to review one of those electric dusters, I was going to order a can of duster cans to clean my laptop and keyboard, and I saw the electric ones not sure of the work well or not. Thank you in advance my friend.

[@Jackie-ld2ki]

Have you ever tried out the wraparound sunglasses for the glasses

[@whoopsydaisy6389]

The first pair would be great with no chest hair lol The second look like the cheap things my eye doctor gives me to put over my eyeglasses after dilation. The third don't look bad at all but I suspect they'd fall apart pretty quickly.

[@BlakeBlackstone]

LMAO Looking mighty sus wearing those sun glasses and hat in a playground.

[@tcgcgttcgcgt4927]

Hello,I can't find the dimensions of the peeqglasses aviator on their website. Can you help me because I would like to order.Thank you

[@brianbaugusmusic]

The Ombraz would probably be easy to take on and off if you just loosened them and rested them around your neck.

[@brandonhaynes9120]

Which lenses were in the ombraz the darkest lenses are the grey but I’m curious if those still have the amber tent which I like

[@MrFmiller]

I wear glasses. I wouldn’t have any use for these. However I have two pairs of glasses. Both have progressive lenses. One is photo grey and the other is not. The photo grey darken fast and reasonably fast, but they are not polarized, and take a couple of minutes to lighten. That is problematic going through tunnels and entering buildings. I use flip up clip on’s. I have a couple of pairs of different colors. They are both polarized, One has gold rims, and the other is rimless. They both cover the entire lenses on the prescription glasses and are stylish.

[@Oceangirl_505]

Brands?

[@celebrityrog]

When you drive your car, with the beard and glasses and hat, you look like Jamie Hyneman from MythBusters.

[@RealSamsonKing]

They should have just made the arms straight on the reversible one, problem solved! I have Oakleys with straight arms

[@dcbqb19]

Being a fisherman myself(surprise cause of my last name) but, if you can dangle those Ombraz on your neck like the stupid add on things you put in the fins, you're already saving money! If it does that, then I'd happily invest in a pair!

[@michaelclatecki8157]

I seen the reversible ones just like the other day on TikTok, I forgot what talk show. But it was like a different name but similar. I don't know if it was a gag, the goggle ones with the strap seem interesting. Seem like you should be a light and probably will fit on anybody's head. If it was prescription that sounds even better. The other ones looked more rugged and cooler. I don't think I would care about the magnet feature.

[@deathmetalmachine]

I think the Kroe and Ombraz will probably go in your personal collection after this video 😉

[@freethebirds3578]

I couldn't wear any of them. I loathe having glasses or sunglasses resting on my cheekbones. I buy sunglasses with nose pads to hold them away from my face. Very cheap at the flea market in Shipshewana.

[@DjHazardous]

*Kore grabbed my attention will try to get myself a pair*

[@ferociousgumby]

Those stood out as the best-looking design. The other two looked nerdy to me, almost like the aviator glasses of the '80s.

[@900milesfromnormal3]

You don't seem to wear eyeglasses, but if you could review "fit over" and clip-on sunglasses for those of us that have to wear eyeglasses, that'd be great. Maybe--if you don't need eyeglasses--you could wear just frames or reading glasses..

[@lucindas2931]

Love the slide test!😅

[@MartinezFITGroup]

Did you try to put the on tax around your neck to hold them when you’re not using them. Instead of pinning it to your shirt. Are the straps long enough to go down around your neck? If so. It would be so much better. I would think. But i don’t recall if you hung it around your neck or tried. Anyone who has them let me know. They might be too short.

[@nutsofrantic123]

That beard is looking wonderful brother. Well done.

[@useitwice]

Purely esthetically, the Ombraz suit you very well

[@TravisLunsford]

i'v never try 3 pair of sunglasses befor but i still got my old sunglasses and new sunglasses.

[@donnaduty3727]

I can see the magnets grabbing earrings when you go to put them on ouch

[@arottie4097]

Yup.

[@catw6998]

Hadn’t thought of that either. I just liked how it would hold in place on shirt. I certainly wouldn’t want the ouch factor, now considering pierced earrings. I thought James had an earring though? I would have thought him mentioning that with strong magnet. Maybe he doesn’t always wear his in?

[@mattheweagle223]

"Black feels better. The other way just feels shorter." Come onnnnnnnnn dude

[@jfncho]

The Ombraz look like they could fit over prescription glasses.

[@CrowManyClouds]

Pretty sure they will. Problem is without a 'ledge' on the top (inside) they're not going to stay put. Add that and they could compete with Fitovers and Cocoons.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

you don't want to do that, it will scratch both lens. Your prescription and the sunglasses. They do make RX ones but it ain't cheap.

[@latonc]

Straight guy here so ymmv, but I just wanted to say those ombraz ones look great on you, with the beard.

[@cyberi4a]

The reversable one is lame. The one with magnets seem logical to make and have. The one with straps don't seem easy to take on or off and I can see having to adjust the fit a lot.

[@stanacondasv]

Ombraz has con not mentioned, strap hair.

[@davidbendall7919]

Thanks, as a legally blind person, I am always looking for new sunglasses.

[@saurelius5217]

guaranteed to be too small for my big head. I have to use ski goggles for sunglasses.

Got a like the second you mentioned "metal concert"

[@chrisg998]

The Peeqs ear pieces don’t detach and swap sides? Silly

[@earthstar2493]

Sunglasses again. I see you like sunglasses. How about comparing pull string and push lever food processors (like pampered chef) to electric.

[@MCTeck]

Can the Ombraz be fitted with prescription lenses?

[@pleasantopticsple316]

[@josemanel7016]

[@1lmp1]

The pair that has the cord around the head looks kind of funny. They remind me of the little old men who wear glasses secured with a cord around the neck when they sneak at the beach with old black shoes laced tightly, black nylon socks pulled up nearly to knees where they are trying to reach up to flabby gingham shorts. 😊

[@ferociousgumby]

Now, don't insult James!

[@1lmp1]

@ferociousgumby I was not insulting James. I like his reviews. He is one of the few KZbin creators I always watch. I think that cord system most likely will work very well in strenuous activities like sports to keep the sunglasses in place. The cord just reminded me of those little old men. James is a nice-looking guy with his cool round sunglasses, 😎 Nobody would think of him as those old little guys. 🙂

[@shellastew]

My nephew's regular glasses have an elastic strap because of all his sports.

[@n120983]

You should try bending the ear pieces. I bet you can bend them the other way.
