Not bone conductive but great discreet glasses.
I've been an owner and wearing these glasses for about 2 years now. I owned the predecessor to the Alien 5 as well as the Alien 5's now. So let me break down the glasses and their functionality.Predecessor pair - Was more bone conductive than this pair. They even sent earplugs to help you acknowledge that fact. That glasses just weren't quite tight enough to get the sound through your head. You could plug your ears and push them to your head and hear the vocals and bass really well. They definitely played music and you could definitely listen to music without people even realizing it. I made a lot of people jealous at work that I could listen to music, hands free, and still hear everything around me. However, they upgraded the speakers in the Alien 5 (check down below). My bosses to this day think I wear real glasses.Alien 5 - The speakers are not as bass heavy anymore. I honestly feel like this is an upgrade because you couldn't really tell anyways unless the old pair was pushed above your ears. The speakers are louder and more crisp than the old pair. Makes for hearing vocals in music and chat and talking on the phone much easier to understand.The pro's of this device are as followed.- Discreet sounds once you adjust the volume to your surroundings. Play with it a bit.- Microphone with decent understandable mic- The buttons all have unique features on them. 3 buttons which all double as 2 features each. 6 in total. You can pause/play/power, volume up/skip, volume down and google assist.-there is no LED light unless it is charging.These glasses are a bit pricey, but if you take care of them they will last you a good 2 years at the least. My hinges started giving out after everyday use.

Bone transduction works in Polarized Sunglasses
I have enjoyed many different Bluetooth sunglasses but these are first with no earbuds but bone transduction instead.The quality & optics are very good. The sound quality is good for music. However listening to audio books on an airplane I can’t get enough volume so listening to music works much better. In quite environment both music & audio books work fine with no pesky earbuds. I wish I could get more volume in noisy environments.

Bone conducting? I think not.
Purchased a few days ago to listen to books and audio on the job. First day wearing em... Busted. People heard the music at least 5ft away in a quite area. Turn it down so you can hear it more then 2 ft from the glasses and it's too quite. Fantastic idea. I will be trying other out, but not to my standards for what I want them for. Also, they say they are polorized however, they are not polorized just UV 400 rated. How I know? My actual polorized glasses make my phone screen all rainbowy and these do not.

Is it really bone conduction?
Everything ok as described but I wonder whether it is really bone conduction or just small speakers when placed near to the ear is audible. Because the external sound is so disturbing to the one who sits by our side. And naturally we hesitate to use in public places where it is supposed to be used. I think we can't have a private talk while answering call. Hope they will look into it.

Works exactly how I expected them to.
Works exactly like how I thought they would after going through all the reviews. If you are in a quiet environment and you have them turned up, of course there's going to be sound leakage. I don't sit in a quiet office, I use these when I'm working on the sales floor and NO ONE has any idea that I'm listening to music while talking to them. Customers and coworkers have no clue. I do not turn them up all the way because to me, that would be annoying. I like to still hear whats going on in my surroundings without being distracted. The glasses are on the bigger side, but I'm not the hugest person to begin with. That's just the way it is when buying something that's a "one size fits all". I've never used them until the battery was fully used up, but at about 2/3 volume, I've gotten a good 4 and a half hours of listening to music nonstop. I saw in the questions section that they work with Siri. I have an Android phone and have yet to get them to work with my Google Assistant. Not a big deal, but it would have been convenient. Overall I'm glad with my purchase and have suggested it to friends.

It's true bone conduction don't believe the negative reviews
First and foremost, im not sponsored or paid to write this review, i bought these glasses with my own money. I've bought and owned 3 different types of bone conduction glasses (zungle viper, actek, and alien 5). Disregard the actek bone conduction glasses, battery sucks (2 hours max) audio quality sucks (if I'm not mistaken they're not true bone conduction based on the sound quality even it says so on the description), and tge fitment is atrocious, it's the only glass that made me dizzy wearing it. If you're thinking of buying these over the zungle viper, get these instead. They're practically the same in terms of sound, except the zungle viper have a little bit more bass but not too much. The advantages of the alien 5 is that the charging method is better, only uses one usb port unlike the zungle that you got to have a special type of charger and you have to plug it in 2 ports. And the frame is better because it have more flex on them. My zungle cracked after 3 months of daily use. I've been using this every day at work and it last me the whole 10 hour shift non stop in high medium volume (my mp3 player have a maximum volume of 30 and i set the alien 5 to 22 volume). Don't believe the negative reviews saying that the frame and quality sucks, they probably have never tried other bone conduction glasses, and for the price its the best out there, believe me. And if you do find the mmte black version, get those, these are gloss black and it us hard to keep clean.
