A few will know Fauna, born in 2019 in Austria with the perfect collaboration between a well-known brand of sunglasses and a leading Austrian audio companyUSound with more than 150 active patents.
The main mission of this company is combine style and elegance to the convenience of being able to respond to calls, check your assistant (Google or Siri) and listen to your favorite music having your ears completely free.
Currently they are present four different models both male and female with sunglasses or blue light filter, we tried the model Transparent Brown with sunglasses.
Packaging and packaging content
It is necessary to specify that the shipping packaging is really maintained, the packaging containing the glasses has been perfectly sealed against the weather and properly packed so as to be able to test any impact.
Content :
-Refill case containing glasses
-Manual multilanguage manuals
-Recharging cable Type C customized
- Cleaning year (inserted within manuals)
Technical Specifications
The dimensions change according to the model but the actual weight always remains 50g for glasses and 196g for housing/chargers.
Blue light anti lenses (optimum for use at pc) are ZEISS DuraVision® While the ZEISS sunscreens are 1,8mm, the various frames in Italian acetate allow you to mount different types of lenses graduated from your optical (inside there are also indications to be delivered to the optician).
The audio sector is offered by the partner company USound and is composed of two-way microspeaker and electrodynamic woofers for each temple, the microphones (two) are equipped with active deletion of the echo.
Another peculiarity of these glasses compared to the main competitors is to have the case that acts directly from powerbank charging without having to connect the glasses every time to an external charger leaving them exposed; with a single charge (100 mAh battery) they have one standby of about 20 hours and a musical reproduction of 5 hours (which goes down to about 4 hours if we stress them with continuous activations of the assistant and high volume reproduction), the case has a battery of 1300 mAh able to recharge the glasses in just less than 2 hours and front leds that indicate the state of charge.
These glasses are IP52 certified (water and dust) and have connectivityBluetooth 5.0 coupled with both Ios and Android devices, the reception is around 9 and 10 meters without obstacles.
Pairing and Functions
After removing all plastic packaging and placing glasses in the full charging case, just open the case and turn on the bluetooth of our smartphone (or pc), the glasses will enter pairsing mode automatically, if this does not happen, just close and reopen the case.
A good portion of the side rods acts as touch control dividing the various functions between left and right:
-double tap left to answer or finish calls and play/pauses for music
-prolonged to the left for 4 seconds refuses incoming calls and passes to the next track
- forward or backward to the left increases or decreases the volume
-double tap on the right to answer calls
Prolonged to the right for 4 seconds to force the bluetooth connection.
Our experience
The quality of the lenses ZEISS is more than known and we have nothing to say about it; the audio compartment is up to expectations ensuring a listening to optimal levels even in case of ambient noise medium strong or in case of wind, high volume is the risk of being able to slightly annoy our neighbors due to the eventual sound propagation but nothing to worry about.
Microphones behave relatively well with a good audio quality, our interlocutors managed quietly to understand what we were saying in conditions of ambient noises, the communication is clear also with a light wind against but not with medium strong wind.
Thanks to the large surface we have not found no problem with touch control that always remains faithful and does not skip a single tap of the user, even impt lag practically nonexistent thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 technology.
We recommend buying to those who want to focus mainly on the quality of construction and audio, it is difficult in fact to find smart glasses that rake "series" ZEISS lenses and actually function without problems of lag and control.

The four variants are available on the site at the price of 249€ , is available the shipment for Italy.
