Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Myvu Crystal Personal Media Viewer, Standard Edition (Black)
Customer Review: Good Accessory
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like these video glasses. I got the Crystal universal version, plus the ipod cable separately. It works great with my 5th gen ipod, and I've also used it with my dvd player and Wii. With two young-ish kids, it's been difficult to take full advantage of my Netflix subscription without staying up until midnight (not just because of ratings, but also because the movies I like don't interest them much). Now I can watch on my virtual big screen! I've been thinking about buying the Roku player for netflix, which may add another dimension to my viewing! I'm glad I got the larger screen size. I think the smaller screen would have been very disappointing.
My only knocks on the glasses are 1) they cost more than my ipod! and 2) the connection cable from the glasses to the dongle, and the ipod cable where it connects to the ipod, do not lock in place and are easily pulled out with the slightest tug on the cable.
Overall, I am happy with the product but it was very hard to justify the price to my wife.
Customer Review: Brilliant!

Being a gadgets geek I just had to have these and I have to say they are great. I find myself on planes a lot and sometimes they don't show a movie, or the movie they show sucks, the idiot in the window seat does not shut his window, the screen is jacked and so on and so on. Not anymore. I can slip these on, watch my own movie with great sound and peace and quiet. It really makes for a more enjoyable flight. The screen is great, a lot better than what i thought and on par with most TV screens. If you want HD and Blu Ray type quality then this wont work for you. Not now, maybe future models. But for now I think this is one of the best purchases I have made. Its better than watching a movie on your ipod with that tiny screen or on your iphone only to learn that you have sucked all the juice out of it. They look cool as well. Battery life is great and will charge via USB. Definitely worth the money.Customer Review: Big problems ... big price

I ordered this and would not again. It was problematic from the moment I received it. The battery did not work. It did not hold a charge for more than 15 seconds. Eventually, over a period of 24 hours it did not charge at all.
I certainly wouldn't trust this product. Even if it came with a working battery ... who knows how long that would last.
I went online to check other reviews and it seems the battery issue is a common problem. I would think that the manufacturer and seller would check something like this BEFORE selling.
There is no manual that comes with it, you have to download the manual online, after you find it.
I don't recommend this. Spend the extra money and buy a quality product.
I lost the shipping money both ways. Paid for shipping to get it, and paid for shipping to return it.
Customer Review: If you wear glasses....
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these for my husband for his birthday...he was so excited! But he wears glasses, farsighted with bifocals, so he couldn't see the picture clearly. I didn't know there were corrective lenses for the MyVu unit available, which I immediately purchased. The glasses come in -2, -4 and a pair that you can customize. But the "-" is meant for NEARsighted people....being farsighted, the corrective lenses didn't help. If he wears his contacts without the corrective lenses, it's slightly blury, but OK. Unfortunately, there is NO sharpness adjustment on this device, which I find suprising compared to their competitors....so if you have trouble seeing close up, you still won't be able to see it clearly with the lenses provided - you'll have to get a pair custom-made. You may be able to see it OK if you wear contacts.Customer Review: Absolutely Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product from a best buy abotu one month ago for use with my ipod to watch films while i travel. It has up to this point exceeded my expectiations in every regard.
The best part about this product is that you can contact MYVU and request an Audio/Video adapter (I received mine free of charge?) which you can the use to watch videos directly from ... a cpu, dvd player, any video game system that used an AV cable...the list goes on and on.
When i'm not traveling I have my glasses on my bed plugged into my super nintendo or dreamcast system. The picture is perfect, the sound is well above average and the comfort level is adequate.
If you are in the market for a MYVU do yourself a favor, pay the extra hundred bucks, and get the Crystal. You won't regret it.
