NoScope Hydra Series Gaming GlassesWhat are NoScope Gaming Glasses?

NoScope Gaming Glasses are the new cheaper alternative to the high priced Gunnars that have revolutionized the gaming industry. Gaming glasses help enhance your vision and performance by reducing eye fatigue. when staring at a computer screen for long periods of time, your eyes start to dry out. The technology in gaming glasses allows you to not only focus longer, but they help you blink more often which results in wetter eyes and less eye fatigue. The NoScope Gaming Glasses are geared towards the gaming market but can also work wonders for people who stare at a computer screen all day.

How do they compare to Gunnar Gaming Glasses?

NoScope gaming glasses are very similar to Gunnar gaming glasses in that they are a new player in the industry. Gunnars have a well know reputation, but are very expensive. You can purchase NoScope Gaming glasses for as little as $20 and their highest end model costing $30. Gunnars on the other hand range from $70-$150+. Both companies offer a very similar product in build quality and function by filtering out the harsh blue light that is emitted by electronic devices. The yellow tinted glasses help reduce eye strain and fatigue while improving clarity.

How do they work?

Like all gaming glasses the NoScope Gaming glasses don’t discolor your entire screen and turn it completely yellow like you would think. They filter out the blue levels and after wearing them for a bit you will start to see more natural colors.

Comfort

We had issues getting comfortable with the glasses. Within a few hours of wearing them; I found they become somewhat uncomfortable, especially behind the ears as they press into your head. They seemed to be a little too tight. (I am told they have newer models available that improve comfort, but I am still waiting to get some for review.) I don’t have a big head but maybe they just don’t fit me right as they are a one size fits all. Luckily if you are not playing games for a very long extended time they should be just fine. I just took them off after a match was loading to relive some of the pressure to my head. You could possibly put some rubber on the ends to get them to feel more comfortable.

 

NoScope Orion Series Gaming GlassesDo they work?

Just like the Gunnar glasses I have, I find that they offer the same effect at a reduced price. Gunnar has a ton of different styles to choose from, while NoScope Gaming Glasses only has 3 designs. They did help prevent eye fatigue and I did notice that I was blinking a lot more that I normally do with out gaming glasses. Sometimes I will get a headache after playing games for too long or staring at my computer screen at work all day, but when I wear gaming glasses, I feel more refreshed and can say I do not get headaches or red eyes.

Design

The glasses are quite big, almost like skiing glasses. This goes back to the “comfort” section and the one size fits all. With glasses, they should be made to fit your face. If you work in a big office, you might not get away with wearing these on a daily basis and you might be called a few names – these glasses are huge. If this doesn’t faze you then they will be perfect to wear while at work, especially if you use a computer for long hours.

For gaming at home, you will have no worries. If they had a few different designs and sizes to choose from, that would have been a bonus.

Price

The price is a big bonus for these glasses, at a mere $20, you are getting glasses which will work and definitely reduce eye fatigue. Compared to others in the market, which are onward of $100, the choice is between quality and price.

NoScope Demon Series Gaming GlassesDurability

The glasses are plastic and could easily be damaged and scratched. If you are not good with taking care of items, you may want to buy a second set as a spare since they are very cheap. But hey, what do you expect out of a $20 pair of gaming glasses.

Do they have prescription glasses available?

If you wear glasses and are looking to get a prescription from NoScop, you are out of luck, you will have to pay a very large amount and get some Gunnars as they are the only company that offers prescription gaming glasses.

Overall

Overall, I would have to say that NoScope Gaming glasses are an excellent choice for the budget consumer or someone who just wants to test to see if gaming glasses are right for them. With a price tag of just $20 you really cant go wrong. Once you decided you want to spend some more money on style, you can have a look at the many options that Gunnars offer.
