PSA for all our fellow EDM festival lovers: Chemion LED glasses are going to be the sickest trend for 2020! Seriously, these awesome LED glasses are the future. Forget about impressing people at raves or festivals with light shows. These Chemion glasses with the programmable LED displays are seriously going to trip people out, so get your hands on these ASAP in time for all the festivals.
How It Works
Basically, you just download the Chemion app (available for iOs or Android) and from there you can design your own animations or texts, which then light up the LED glasses. The Chemion glasses are Bluetooth, so no worries about cords getting in the way of your dancing. They are simply and conveniently powered by two small AAA batteries (included) that insert into the temple tips. Just like normal glasses, the Chemion glasses are lightweight and foldable, and aside from the cool LED display capability, they look just like normal sunglasses. None of that bulky goggle look that you’ve seen around lately in techno-vision accessories, thank goodness. As for visibility, the inside of the glasses (the side that you’ll be looking through) has slats that make it easy for you to see out of.
The versatility of these LED glasses is impressive. They come with some pre-set animations, with messages like “COOL” or a diamond pattern that flashes on and off. But you can also get creative and program the glasses to display what you want. Remember those etch-a-sketch pads from when you were a kid? The design interface is essentially like that with a pixelated board that you can draw your design on. Whatever you engineer will then light up on the LED display. You can program texts—people have programmed the glasses to read things like “PLUR” or “QUEEN.” You could even be a total spaz and program the name of the DJ you’re seeing if you wanted— “Hi Flume, notice me now with these LED glasses?” You can also break out your artistic side and draw animations like hearts, robots, etc. You can even combine text and animation. Equally cool is the equalizer option that plays animations to the beat of the music, so whenever that beat drops, you and your Chemion glasses are dancing to the same rhythm.
Who Wants Them?
Honestly, these LED glasses are a cool accessory for just about anyone, although it’s obvious that they’re taking off with EDM culture. Gamers and cosplay fans might also fall in love with the Chemion glasses because they allow the wearer to merge being spectators with a form of spectacles. Sports fans also love these at games to cheer on their teams. These LED glasses are the perfect melding of life and technology. It’s no surprise that that the inventors of the Chemion glasses are huge fans of DAFT Punk and were inspired by the band’s LED helmets. There is no doubt about it; we are moving toward the birth of the post-human, and these awesome LED glasses are bringing us another step forward in that technological evolution. So, get ahead of the trend and order your Chemion LED glasses today!

These things are great! I was sent this item to review and I honestly thought that they would be kind of boring but I was surprised. I love them. Check them out in this video review!
Erick Ortiz –
More than expected. I absolutely love glasses. it comes with a few preset modes & a app you can download to have a little extra fun with. If you’re sketched you might not like it for the price. its totally worth it! buying a second pair for my girlfriend. (;

Okay, so we ordered two of these to take to the Electric Forest Festival (a hundred times better than Burning Man, btw) and they both arrived today. One unit had very bright LEDs, the other unit had LEDs that were about half as bright, so we have a replacement coming tomorrow. With that said, this is a fantastic product… fantastic! I’d love to see even more pre-loaded designs, but the app works well, the display is awesome, it’s pretty easy to see through these too. A stellar product, even with the difference in brightness between the two units we received – oh, and it wasn’t the batteries btw, we replaced them with brand new, identical, high powered batteries!

I came across these on a Facebook add, and being sceptical at first thought it was just a weird click bait link, but turns out not only is this thing real, it’s ****ing awesome!
Tim –
Awesome product!! Definitely a huge attention grabber at any festival I go to!
Michael (verified owner) –
So glad I bought this! My whole rave crew is jealous!

These glasses are AWESOME!! If you’re on the fence about these, just go ahead and buy them, you won’t regret it. I know they’re advertised as something you’d wear to an edm show, but that’s not my thing. I used these as poker glasses the other night and they were such a hit. I used them to taunt my friends at the table with messages like “I’M BLUFFING”, “FOLD ‘EM”, “WALK AWAY”, “READ THEM AND WEEP”, “BAD CALL” etc… it was too funny, so if you’re into poker, these are the glasses you want.
With the Chemion app you can create custom messages that you can instantly upload and save to the glasses. The app also provides access to the creations of a growing community of users that upload and share their designs. In all, it’s a very good app, easy to use, and really adds to the functionality of the glasses.
Aside from poker, I’m looking forward to incorporating these glasses into some lessons at school (I’m a Science teacher). I’ll also be lending them to a couple of students to use at the talent show… it’ll take their robot dance performance to another level… so I’ll definitely be purchasing another pair soon… these glasses are an easy purchase

Great buy !!!

I like the Product bat my battery’s died and now it wont cut back on it there a way to trouble shoot or reset the product
Amazon Customer –
It’s really nice, but the one thing I do not like about it is how bulky they are. I kind of wish there were different batteries in this because the batteries seem like they are AAA, but still are very big. I’m currently doing a cosplay but it seems like it’s great, hence why I gave it 4 stars.

These glasses are awesome. I first saw them in a Facebook ad, so I was skeptical to order them at first. Usually I never buy something that I discovered via targeted advertisements. But after considering it for awhile I took the risk, ordered a pair, and WOW these are amazing. I wore them to an electronic music festival and tons of people were stopping to give me a compliment or take a photo/video. Be prepared to receive a LOT of attention if you wear these in public.
Feature-wise these are fully programmable via the smartphone app, where you can create your own animations frame by frame. You can save up to 5 animations to the glasses themselves. Otherwise, your phone can connect via bluetooth to control your glasses and display text, animations and user created content that can be downloaded via the app.
The only downside with these glasses is that if you have them connected to your phone, it will drain your phone battery FAST. This is because the smartphone app is constantly “streaming” what is being displayed on your glasses. To save battery life, you’re better off creating animations and saving them to one of the 5 slots on the glasses, then disconnecting the glasses from your phone. You can cycle through the animations with the button on the glasses. Honestly, it’s a small price to pay for such an awesome pair of glasses. I highly recommend them!

Great gadget.
Marcos Sosa –
These glasses are awesome! Love them. Always looking for a reason to wear them sometime. The app has a learning curve to it when making your own designs. Difficult at first but as you continue you learn tricks to make it faster. LOVE!
Huy –
Cool gadget you should have . using all the time and my friend liked it
Jeffrey Taylor –
Great attention grabber.. took some time to program things using the app but once you get the hang of it it’s a blast..
James Garland –
Awesome product, these are not intended to be sunglasses. So if you are looking for sunglasses look someplace else. These pair with an app on your Android or iphone and the LED’s are customizable.
Amazon Customer –
They’re awesome !!! A lot of fun 😁! However my bluetooth seems to disconnect often ! 😞
Taylor Gerrish –
These are super fun. I get compliments on them wearing them around to the movies and friends always want to be able to play with them. They are also really good ice breakers or conversation pieces. I was on the fence abut getting them but they’re awesome!! I posted some some review pictures because I saw there wasn’t many and seeing people with their product help me determine if I want to buy them.
Pros ; comfy
super fun
connect through bluetooth
great visibility through them
come in great packaging
great battery life
Cons; a little bulky where you put in the batteries
plastic feels slightly flimsy
a little pricey
Overall I think they’re a great fun buy

In order for your message to work properly, your glasses must be in constant communication with your phone. A better implementation would have been to include a small amount of memory allocation in the device to hold a pattern while not communicating with your phone…
NELLIE –
I was the show stopper everytime I wear these glasses. Easy instructions. Can’t really see out of them. I wear them to edm shows/ concerts.
Frank Starling –
I was originally hesitant to get these because they looked pretty bulky, however, after wearing them out one night – I can say I honestly didn’t even notice that I was wearing them after 10 minutes. The only time I would remember they were on my face was when someone would inevitably come up to me and ask about them.
These glasses are really cool – but more so, the customization on the Chemion app make this product have limitless possibilities. The app is what sets these glasses over the edge for me. What other product can you use to communicate to people without ever talking to them?
These glasses are amazing and I am so happy I was able to get my hands on a pair. I am headed to Las Vegas for the first time in exactly 1 week and can’t wait to wear these glasses down the Strip.
DISCLAIMER: I received these glasses at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Amazon Customer –
Battery Life is shotty, but the LEDs are crystal clear! sweet idea and great support App. wish they didnt suck the life out of the batteries so i could use them longer periods of time.
Jason Schumm –
These glasses are awesome! Super easy to connect to phone with Bluetooth and free app. I would easily pay more for these glasses. What a deal! Everybody loves them!
David Scott –
very fun set of glasses. a bit overpriced, but you can really customized messages and create designs fairly easy.
I wished there was colors you could add to the letters and designs. I do recommend them but not at a price more than $50.
If they make a newer version with the option to add color to the letters and design, then I would pay $70 easily.
Josue Mayorga –
Man, oh man. Are these glasses amazing! Easy to set up. Literally all you do is open the package, insert the batteries, download the Chemion app, power it on (which also puts the glasses in discovery mode for the app), and you’re all set. The app is sooooo easy to use. All the different designs are instantly transferred via the app to the glasses. It literally takes the tap of the finger and the design is on the glasses! The app as easy as it is to use it’s also a little vague to when it actually comes to designing your OWN designs. Luckily it’s just a little trial and error to figuring out how to make your own designs. You’re gonna have to know a little about how animating works in order to make your own cool designs though. Luckily, if you’re bad at drawing in general. The app has its’ own dedicated community where you can download other people’s creations and use them on your glasses right away. To my knowledge, these glasses are their first of its’ kind with how sophisticated it is. The animations on the designs are all highly detailed animations depending on the person’s ability to be able to draw and animate. The one and only cons I could find with the glasses is that the frame is huge, but this is a good thing because it gives creators of designs a bigger canvas to work with and the one other con I could find is that it lacks cushioning on the nose piece. Not sure if it will be an issue in the long run though.

Great product! Definitely attention graber!!! Bluetooth programmable to Android or IPhone. I was definitely amazed. Great for concerts raves or parties!!
Bunk –
These shades are pretty sick. They are well made and really one of a kind. They’re definitely gonna get you some attention when wearing them. If you have some extra cash to spend and you’re looking for something cool, pick em up.
Mark Bush –
I bought a pair of these for my roommate’s birthday back at the beginning of August… She’s a huge raver, and she does glow-hoop… I saw an ad for these on Facebook a while back and so I decided to get them for her so she could stand out in the crowd. There’s shutter slits in the glasses that allow you to see out, but I will warn you it can be a bit difficult to see out of them if you’re in pitch black.. She liked them so much, that I decided to get myself a pair. I stream on Twitch, so I programmed the Twitch “Glitch” and “Live!” onto the glasses… it only took a few minutes to get a simple blinking animation done and a disappearing/reappearing underline for the word “Live!”… They’re fairly comfortable, too, given the size … the size of the glasses is intimidating but they’re surprisingly balanced once loaded with batteries, so the weight distributes pretty well around the head. There’s also an adjustable rubber strap that you can put on them to prevent them from falling off if you get hyped 😉 A few of my friends have decided to purchase these as well… I guess they’re doing something right! 🙂

Love these glasses the work great for concerts .
Amazon Customer –
The glasses are really cool.
David Bixler –
The controller app needs some work. The community hub for downloading animations etc is so buggy it typically freezes up as soon as you select “recent” or “most popular”. You can stick with the default view and see a handful of neat options but that’s it.
Ben Stevenson –
Works perfectly. Instructions are not in English but if you just download the app it immediately finds the glasses and everything just works. Batteries that came in the box lasted over 5 hours. We were the life of the club, even the DJ said over the microphone I LOVE THOSE GLASSES. Had a guy try to buy them off me! Do not buy if you are shy and don’t want attention because you will get A LOT of attention!
DSinAZ –
Beware while these seem to be cool mine were definitely used. The box was opened, batteries installed, fingerprints all over the glasses and there was not a hint of a quick start guide or any instructions at all. Not even something saying go to this app store and download this app. I don’t mind getting used product but not when they are listed as new and that is what I believe I am paying for.
Young Geun Choi –
Great product!
norberto medina jr –
great glasses
Amazon Customer –
Cool
doug rosenthal –
Nice, easy to get going. However, the length of scrolling messages is not very long.
RolePlayingGamer –
Product is somewhat clunky and large (if you wear glasses to see well they can be hidden beneath no problem). You can see just fine through them. You have to download the app to program them to your smart phone. I wish they displayed colors rather than just white. Fun little prop for an obnoxious LARP character.
JC (TOP 500 REVIEWER) –
Note: Open box product provided in exchange for this review
Narrative (Summary below):
A friend of mine was deciding whether or not to purchase a pair of Chemion glasses and asked me if I could test them out. Chemion obliged and sent me an open box pair to test out. Coincidentally I’ve been reading up on how to create led light boxes. These boxes are made up of strips of leds that can be programmed to display pictures, text, etc.. Sound familiar? Days of research on how to solder, build and program and then someone brings these bad boys to my attention.
The tech behind these glasses is actually impressive. As with the light box concept the glasses display images and text via onboard memory or through a streaming app. The App is well done and works seamlessly with the glasses. Within seconds you can scroll or bounce customized text across the screen. The creator app expands your possibilities and allows you to draw out your design. I happen to have a Note 7 so drawing with the S-Pen is a major plus but definitely not necessary.
The glasses are functional, during the day you can see pretty well with some expected blind-spots. Night is much more difficult but doable. The glasses rest comfortably and aren’t too heavy. They are large but sit more slim than I expected. A battery goes into each arm and so far I have yet to change them.
Experience:
App (4.5/5) –
I absolutely love the community integration. You can sort by newest, most liked and most downloaded. Expect to see lots of Pokemon designs. Looking forward to seeing what the next trend will cook up. You can download dozens of really well done designs without ever having to draw your own. From creepy eyes to a bouncing PokeBall.
App connectivity is seamless with the design of choice popping up instantaneously. You can save you design to the glasses onboard memory or simply stream. I prefer to load up a few good designs because you can expect people to take and wear them. Relying on a connection to your phone might not be practical. If the design is downloaded to the device, there is no phone integration required.
The creator is easy to use and can take minutes or hours depending on how detailed you want to get. It works in slides so think back to your flipbook days. The difference being that you can copy single or multiple slides at a time. Intuitively, you can move the entire design over one box with a single click. I.E. if you make a spear you can copy that spear and put it one line over (to simulate movement). The one that I posted here took about 10 minutes to make.
The app has few shortfalls but one odd thing is that Korean messages sometimes pop up in the app.
Glasses (5/5):
As mentioned they are much more slim than I expected and they fit my face well. I didn’t have any issue keeping them on while “testing”. One of the tests being me on a hoverboard going 10mph in the wind at night for about 15 minutes. The glasses don’t look terrible, they are obviously not sunglasses but they don’t look like a VR headset either. They don’t do well at night but are fine during the day.
Overall:
The app integration proves that the product is well thought out. They didn’t stop at the design of the glasses but rather took the time and effort to make a good app experience. The customization of the glasses is amazing and it is a hit when out. I’m thinking that they would do well in the stands at a sport event. A little customized ESPN sign might be in the future of these little guys.
Amazon Customer –
A good product .
Amazon Customer –
Best thing I ever bought from Amazon!
Quentin sanchez –
Life changing completely cured my social anxiety made so many new friends cracked jokes so many custom designs and you can make your own on the spot these are worth like 300 dollars atleast.
Kevin Smith –
The glasses are awesome! They are a hit at my DJ gigs. The only downfall is the bulkiness and the creator part, (sometimes the animation won’t always save). I can see everything with them on while the LEDs are bouncing around on the display, I do not wear glasses so I have no problem with them (they should fit over normal glasses due to the size of this thing. If you want to be the talk of the next get together or party then get these glasses!!
ayad –
Supper coooooool
Mrs Steel –
Can write and advertise for your business or just have fun at a party. Make sure you go to the website/app to figure out how to work the glasses.
Anna T. –
Bought this gift for a friend for his birthday, he currently in love and will forever be! We go to a lot of raves and him having access to such a practical and creative device was something he noted to me specifically. You are able to connect the glasses to your phone using an app. By having the app you can create little texts that will run across the glasses to your liking! I do not see a better party item than this. For the price that you are paying, it is dramatically cheaper than others I have come across.
So what are you waiting for?!
diego alejandro palacios –
Its a great product..the ligths are so intense and powerful and the app works very good…i recomended 100% this glasses for ravers and cosplay geeks…you will be the attention center with those glasses!
Mandi Chambers (verified owner) –
Wow! Let me tell ya! Fun, easy to use, led lights are bright and show up well in normal inside lighting. They are pretty comfortable and fit over my sons regular glasses. I’ve got to give 10 👍 to order processing and shipping speed! It was amazing! I ordered on Sunday afternoon the 22nd right before Christmas because my 14 yr old sons other present got lost in shipping. I took a chance on the 2-3 day free shipping because he really wanted these glasses! I’m glad I did because here we are Christmas Day and he’s wearing them and super happy!!!!!!!
