Viewer
In addition to being the smallest, lightest eyewear display available today, myvu's viewer leaves your hands free to hold onto that late-night slice of pizza. The viewer projects a floating video image that you can see around--meaning you can catch up on your favorite TV show while still texting your buddies.

Earbuds
Myvu's noise-reducing in-ear earbuds can drown out everything from your roommate's endless yapping to the garage band that insists on practicing until 2:00 AM. Worried about comfort? Myvu comes equipped with small, medium and large earbuds to ensure they'll be the perfect fit, whether you're dainty or Dumbo.

Pendant Control
Store your iPod safely away in your backpack or pocket and still control your viewing pleasure with myvu's pendant control. This small pendant allows you to remotely control most of the iPod video and music playing functions, such as play, pause, fast forward, reverse, and volume. It also helps you to perfect the picture, with buttons for image contrast and brightness at your fingertips.

Gearing up for a movie marathon? The back-pack battery fits snugly around 30G, 60G, and 80G iPods providing up to eight hours of viewing time. The battery's hard cover doubles as a protective case for your iPod. If you're more interested in rocking out 24/7 than watching videos, the backpack battery can also be used without the viewer to provide over 20 hours of iPod audio time.

USB Charger
Make sure your myvu is constantly juiced with our USB charger. During charging, both your iPod and the back-pack battery are charged.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great idea with great execution., March 25, 2007

If you are on the fence about buying this item like I was for months, "just buy them!!" I finally bought them and they work great. Some of the complaints I have read are not valid. If you would like to use your Bose Noise Cancelling Head Phones, you can, just plug them in the Ipod and put them on. There is a cut out in the battery pack to accomodate a different head set if you want to use one. The video quality is great and the looks you get while using them in a public place is worth the cost of admission. I can never get through a complete movie because every flight attendant on the plane wants a test drive. I went to the sharper Image store in my city and test drove the competition for this product. The MYVU viewer is a better product. The only negative on this item is it will only work with the Ipod. Their website states that they are working on a model that will work with other portable media players. Something for you "non" Ipod users to look forward to. I hope this write up was useful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing., July 7, 2007

By 

Grey Day "Grey Day" (US) - See all my reviews

I don't wear prescription glasses to see. I do use occasional reading glasses or hold things out aways-- old age I guess. Beware- it says you may need a clip on glass if you have prescription glasses.. they are $99.00 plus cost of eye exam. Definitely not worth it. Crutchfield took them back no questions asked so it was good experience for the return. MYVU should state that if you need glasses for close up or use your arms as reading extenders then they will not work for you! It has nothing to do with JUST those who have prescription glasses. They should also engineer some diopter adjustments to make these things usable for a larger number of the population!

2.0 out of 5 stars No, it doesn't work with the 6th gen (Classic) iPod, Touch, or iPhone., April 26, 2008

This review is from: Myvu made for iPod fully loaded edition (Electronics)

Although it fits nicely, the iPod Classic uses a different video output than the 5th generation.

Apple changed the video specs, so it isn't just this product that won't work most of Apple's own iPod video accessories designed for the 5.5 gen and back won't work with the 6th gen, touch, and iPhone.

Update May, 2008: I have been working with the Myvu folks, they were very receptive to feedback about their website and I hope they will be putting the compatibility information in the FAQ on their website. I would certainly add another star for the stellar customer service they have provided (but, you can't edit the number of stars in an existing review.)
