myvu Solo Plus Edition Review

This product is way cool. The goggles fit nicely around the face, they are not too heavy and the sound is great. However, the picture is definitely not viewable large enough to navigate the web or work on your computer. These goggles should only be used to watch videos. You will feel as though you are sitting at the very back of a huge theatre, but the picture is good enough to watch movies in private.

myvu Solo Plus Edition Review

I have been thrilled with the MyVu device and quality of picture and audio. Being a nearly five to six day per week frequent flyer, which includes traveling transcon twice per week for a day trip, the MyVu makes the trips more bearable and provides for quality sound and video/podcast viewing. The only negative is the amount of interuptions I get from crew and other frequent flyers to ask about the unique looking device. The device provides for easy vision over the screen without removing, should you need to look up. A USD port is all that is needed to recharge the MyVu and it will out last your iPod.

myvu Solo Plus Edition Review

The image looks like it's flickering and you feel cross eyed when watching video. It claims to support 320x240 but it seems like less. The picture feels small. Headphones can't be removed. Perhaps the Crystal model solves these problems.

The myvu is the perfect addition to your ipod for travel. The seller was quick and it arrived in perfect condition. The picture is much clearer then the first edition of myvu. It is worth the extra dollars to upgrade. I love them.

myvu Solo Plus Edition Review

I recently purchased a set of these. Personal video glasses are a difficult item to purchase because it's very hard to find a store that carries them, let alone lets you try them on before purchase, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
First impression out of the box: these glasses are amazingly tiny and lightweight. The branches fold up, and they can very easily fit into a jacket pocket. That's a very important point when it comes to a device meant to travel a lot: you will not think twice about carrying them, unlike a DVD player.
I found the descriptions of what you see in the glasses quite misleading: the panels are actually collimated at about a foot in front of your eyes, so the illusion is quite similar to watching the screen in the seat in front of you on an airplane. It's perfectly acceptable, but falls short of the pompous comparisons to watching a 44" big screen from 9 feet away. The field of view may be identical, but the focusing isn't.
The Myvu glasses do not isolate you, as you can very easily see around the virtual screen. This is probably good to address a common problem with immersive VR goggles, which tend to make the user nauseous and disoriented. On the downside, this makes them more difficult to watch in very bright ambient light conditions. Also, switching between the virtual screen and the "outside world" is difficult because of the short focusing distance of the screen.
Finally, I was surprised to find out watching videos through the goggles did not significantly reduce battery life compared to watching them on the iPod screen directly. You will want to get some sort of high capacity USB battery pack if you want to be able to watch more than a couple of movies on one charge, though.
If you fly a lot (or have a long train commute) and would like to catch up on your video watching, you can't go wrong with the Myvu goggles. They're inexpensive, well designed, take up very little space and work very well.
You should also know that Myvu is coming up with new models: the Shade 301 (an update to this model) and the Crystal 701 (with full VGA resolution panels).
