Design:
The new Qubo Go Audio Sun Glasses look similar to any other ordinary sunglasses nothing special. But comes with some extra features where that ordinary sunglasses lack. Anyway, the Qubo Go Audio Sun Glasses come with all plastic built but give a premium feel. The frame is made out of plastic and is slightly thick when compared with ordinary sunglasses. The reason behind that thickness is all smart features like speakers, in-built mic, battery, etc.
The Qubo Go Audio Sun Glasses come with Polarized UV Protection lenses which are of premium and good quality. The major con of these smart glasses is the weight, yes it feels slightly heavier when compared with non-smart glasses. So if you wear it for a long duration you will surely notice the pain.
