Who should get the Solos AirGo A5

Get the AirGo A5 if you want light audio glasses with an assistant. Solos lists about 10 hours of music per charge and a hands-free assistant you wake by voice, plus live translation for lectures and meetings. It works with an iPhone and with an Android phone.

Who should get the MemoMind One

Get the MemoMind One if meetings are the job. MemoMind built it to record a meeting with three directional microphones, then give you a transcript and a summary, with teleprompter text and reminders in both lenses. It works with an iPhone and with an Android phone.

The differences that matter

Both are assistant glasses with live translation, and both work with an iPhone and with an Android phone. The A5 is the everyday companion for music and questions.

The MemoMind is the work tool. Its meeting recording, transcripts and teleprompter text are built for the office.

Smart glasses only work if you keep wearing them, so fit matters more than any spec. Try a pair on if you can, and check what prescription lenses will cost before you order. A pair that pinches your nose or slides down on a warm day will end up in a drawer, whatever it can do.
