Myvu along with Korea’s INNO Design has recently developed a more stylish frame for wearable video display. This is the Crystal 701 which is priced at $300 and is designed to work with present generation iPod nano, touch and classic models.
The Crystal 701 edition includes the usual components. The box contains one pair of sunglass-like goggles with non-removable ear buds attached to it, a remote control for controlling volume, power and brightness and a Dock Connector cable. Included in the pack is a plain fabric carrying bag, three sets of silicone tips for the ear buds and a USB cable for recharging. The good thing about the Crystal 701 is that it’s the best 640×840 wearable video display yet made for the iPods.
It combines lightweight, improved body styling with a great video technology, better than any of today’s best iPod screens. Easy brightness and contrast adjustments improve video quality and can be viewed in any environment.Even the price of the Crystal 701 is reasonable when compared to its competitors in the market.
And now the not so good part. The four-hour battery life is less than impressive. Pricing and designing is not mainstream. It is not very adjustable to multiple user needs. Even the remote design seems loose along with the cable clutter.
The device is just about decent for its price but leaves much to be desired.
