Story

Experience music like never before. Prepare to have your mind blown.

SND-RAY (pronounced “Sound Ray”) is the only pair of bluetooth bone conduction sunglasses that give you amazing, high fidelity sound quality.

SND-RAY uses the latest innovations in sound, material, tech, design, and optics to ensure you get the best experience possible. Enjoy ultra-lightweight nylon frames, aerospace grade titanium hinges, UV400 polarized lenses, a long lasting battery life, and an iconic, sleek silhouette in the best sounding audio sunglasses in the world.

SND-RAY’s bone conduction sound system delivers authentic and outstanding 360° sound unlike any you’ve ever heard. Our best-in-class speakers, premium materials, and innovative engineering deliver sound waves directly to your head and ensure ZERO loss of fidelity.

4 powerful top-of-the-line SND-WAVE™ speakers secure solid connection points to your bones. The titanium hinges guarantee a direct translation of every frequency and vibration emitted by SND-RAY. This all means you get the highest fidelity sound without putting anything in or on your ear.

SND-Ray has the latest and greatest innovations in audio and tech hidden inside the frame. Prepare to experience the future of audio and wearables unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

Bone conduction is a form of hearing where sound waves are transmitted through your bones directly to your cochlea — the organ in your ear responsible for interpreting sound. This bypasses the eardrum and allows you to hear ambient sounds while listening to music without disturbing others.

In fact, bone conduction was famously used by Ludwig Van Beethoven when he was almost deaf. He used a metal rod to transmit sounds from the piano to his jaw so he can “hear” his compositions despite his compromised eardrums.

Since the 1970s, bone conduction technology has been developed for the military, intelligence agencies, and hearing aids, but the audio quality has always been lackluster. Until now.

Better Sound. Better Battery. Better Quality.

Enjoy the convenience and peace of mind of having nothing in or on your ears. Be fully present to take in your surroundings, be aware of traffic, or talk to your friends.

SND-RAY is designed to have zero leakage. Secretly boost your mood with your favorite tunes, catch up on a podcast, or listen to an audiobook without anyone ever knowing.

Access music, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, map directions, notifications, even phone calls and AI assistants. SND-RAY connects with all your bluetooth enabled devices and is compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows operating systems — enjoy full access to everything you need.

Plus, the built-in microphone allows you to take calls and activate Siri or Google Assistant.

The Ray-Ban Wayfarer has been reimagined for the modern music lover. SND-RAY is lightweight, molded for comfort, and built to last with titanium hinges, nylon rims, and scratch-resistant polarized lenses.

No bulky hardware. SND-RAY looks and feels just like a pair of high quality Wayfarer sunglasses. No one will even realize you’re listening to music. Look good while listening in full discretion and comfort!

Protect your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays. SND-RAY comes with UV400 protective lenses that block out nearly 100% of all harmful UV rays — leaving your eyes nice and healthy for the rest of your life.

Not only are our lenses UV400 rated, they’re polarized. Polarization eliminates glare and reflections. This reduces eye strain and increases visibility in high glare environments like the road, the beach, the snow, or on the water.

SND-RAY is available in prescription lenses. Choose between see through glass or prescription lenses available in 6 colors. Once our campaign is over, we will contact you so you can send us your specific prescription. SND-RAY will then arrive with your prescription lenses installed in the frames.

SND-RAY boasts the longest lasting battery on audio sunglasses. The battery is well hidden in the sleek design and lasts for an astounding 6 hours of playtime or 1 week of standby time.

Out of juice? No problem. SND-RAY fully recharges in only 30 minutes. Plug it in on a lunch break and enjoy a full day of music after!

Take SND-RAY to your workouts or even in the rain. SND-RAY is waterproof rated IP55 — making it fully sweat and rain resistant.

A noise-cancelling microphone on the frame means you can take calls clearly with SND-RAY. No more fumbling with earbuds or blocking ambiance with headphones. Enjoy hands-free, open ear private calls without worry.

SND-RAY can also activate A.I. assistants like Siri and Google Assistant. Access apps, send texts, set reminders, get directions, and book your calendar all from your sunglasses.

SND-RAY uses the latest in bluetooth technology. With Bluetooth 5.0, you’ll get an exceptionally strong connection up to 33 ft (10m) with any bluetooth enabled device. No more disconnecting calls or interrupted songs.

Control your playlist with easy touch controls. With a few simple taps on your frames, you can play, pause, skip, rewind, and adjust volume as needed.

The idea for SND-RAY was born a few years ago. Our founder Jack Adrian was backpacking throughout the Mountain states. Towards the end of his trip in the Colorado mountains, he asked a man for directions. The man couldn’t hear Jack at first. He was wearing big chunky sunglasses and headphones underneath. Jack then jokingly said “wouldn’t it be great if your sunglasses were also headphones?”

Jack began to really look into this after his trip. He wasn’t satisfied with the products on the market: the sound quality was lackluster, the design poor, and the materials off. Nobody had done it the way it should be done.

Years later, Jack has built SND-RAY Labs Inc into a fully fledged company with experts from various fields with decades of experience. We want to change the way people experience audio. We all have two things in common — we love audio and love to have fun.

At the time, Jack couldn’t anticipate that his friendly encounter would become the idea behind a fully-fledged company. Jack has not met the man from Colorado again.

The man’s name was Ray.
