Today we will be taking a look at Mutrics MUSIG X Smart Audio Glasses.
Now, I hate to admit it, but I kind of have too much tech. I am constantly reminded of it by those around me, but in my defense, I like to have options. Especially when it comes to audio products and the way I listen to music, play games, watch a movie or answer calls. It requires something different. Sometimes that means that I want to shut myself off from the rest of the world and sometimes I want or need to let the outside in. It all depends on the environment and what I am doing.
With today’s Mutrics MUSIG X review, I get the opportunity to see if merging sunglasses and Audio will work well for me as a daily use item replacing the need for me to carry both earbuds and sunglasses while on my walks.
So, who is Mutrics? honestly, we don’t really know much, but what we do know is that they seem to have come out of nowhere and have been trying hard to build a name for themselves in the Smart Audio Glasses space starting with their MUSIG X line which we will be reviewing. Other than that they appear to be a run of the mill Shenzhen, China Start-up.

Very clean simple classic design in a size that actually fits most people. Even someone with a big head like me.
Having already played with Bose’s Alto Smart Glasses in the past I did have high expectations of whatever came next. Bose, of course, known for its top-notch audio and speaker systems, was one of the first to enter the smart glasses market with the Bose Alto Frames. Mainly focusing on what the company does best, sound, they essentially built the gold standard for Smart Audio Glasses. The Audio quality is so good I could actually say, the Bose Frames might even be good enough to replace my wireless earbuds altogether. So let’s see how Mutrics MUSIG X does.
Ease of Use:
In a nutshell, setup was pretty straight forward and can be paired with any Bluetooth enabled device. the only drawback is its proprietary charge cable. Meaning, be careful not to forget it after charging or while on vacation.
Build Quality:
We assign a greater score for the use of metal as it would make for a stronger frame but both Mutrics and Bose used a dense plastic for their frames. The upside is that they do appear to be decent quality and should withstand moderate physical stress, better than an off-brand but not a top name brand. Overall, build quality was an 8.
Audio Quality:
In terms of audio quality, the MUSIG X features a Virtual 5.1 Channel Surround Sounds System, and uses a “Special” sound cavity to help enhance audio quality. Surprisingly enough with dual micro speakers, the sound clarity was impressive, although when it came to bass you may want to look elsewhere for headphones that pack more of a punch. Overall, the sound quality was 7.6.
Battery Life:
Remarkably, these outperformed Bose when it came to a battery test. Bose states their Alta frames last 3.5 hrs while streaming audio and although the MUSIG X Battery life is rated at 8 hours I was able to get a total of 5.5 hours of use out of them.
Comfort:
They’re light-weight and fairly comfortable to wear, and with it actually having a waterproof rating of IP-55 as listed on their website these make for great beach or pool-side glasses. Overall, the sound quality was 7.2 and this is because I realized that in order to get the best sound quality I had to move them around quite a bit.
Value:
At 129.00 from Walmart.com these are not too bad of a deal, being $70 less than Bose. Although we’re still big fans of the Bose Alta Frames, these are still at the top of our value pick list.
