The first pair of magnetic modular design glasses, with advanced TWS audio technology tailored to your daily wear and style.

Story

Embedded with advanced AAC audio speakers and our body induction sensor system in the temples, these glasses can do –  Auto Power Up, Sync Music/Navigation/Calls, and Engage Virtual Assistant (iOS 14, Android 10, or above). 

They are ergonomically built with IP67 Water Resistance, and lenses that are Anti-fouling and Impact-, Scratch-, and Shatter-resistant.   


Hi, we are WGP. We design and make wearables. This is our first project on Kickstarter.

Take a closer look at the first pair of TWS audio glasses that can change multi-style frames MAGNETICALLY.


 With the great invention of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) technology and a novel magnetic release design, we managed to integrate all the audio and control tech parts neatly into the temples; Now, you can invest in just one pair of smart audio temples and match it with different frames per your needs. Less money, more choices.

Magnetic Release Design




Our exclusive audio algorithm, combined with a unique soundproof cavity, significantly reduces sound leakage, producing a pure and authentic audio experience that gets you immersed while staying aware of your surroundings.

Open Ear Audio



Empowered with sensitive body induction, the eyewear offers an intuitive and seamless experience. Put on the glasses and it automatically powers up and connects.

Activating your phone’s virtual assistant takes just a few temple taps. With WGP’s built-in MEMS microphones, you can interact directly with your phone. Set up and hear navigation or make calls on the go

Voice Assistant


  • Note: iOS 14, Android 10 or above required.


We’ve set aside a Game Mode with an ultra-low latency down to 50ms-60ms. Untether your gaming experience now, while a pair of bluelight blocking glasses protect your eyes from harmful screen light.

Ultra-Low Audio Latency for Gamers



With advanced Bluetooth 5.0, our eyewear ensures a reliable audio communication range up to 33 feet. Whether you’re in the office or in the field, WGP glasses let you enjoy all the fun and flexibility in audio seamlessly.

33 Feet communication range



Ergonomically designed with IP67 water resistance, WGP glasses are made durable and comfortable to wear. 

Our sport frame uses TAC polarized lenses to give you a superior visual experience and the best eye protection. It comes along with an anti-drop strap that lets you worry less about the eyewear and focus more on conditions around you.



Each standard package comes with 2 pairs of speaker pads for more comfortable wearing and private listening. These are made especially for those occasions where even a tiny sound seems louder than usual. It could be in a lift or on a very quiet night.

Speaker Pads for private listening




Tested 120 hours (5 days) for standby, 2 hours for a full charge, and 7 hours runtime for continuous music playing; we’ve got you covered for all-day use. The specially designed magnetic ports on the temples allow fast and easy charging with no hassles. 



We collaborate with top designers and manufacturers to introduce stylish frames and quality lenses that make you not only look good but also feel good.










Our ultimate goal is to offer a whole line of lens & frame combinations that meet your everyday needs, from sunglasses, anti-bluelight, sport, to plano glasses in 9 simple styles. In the future, we will also have our prescription glasses in place to provide a comprehensive audio & visual solution for everyone. 







We will start shipping in March with guaranteed delivery in April. We offer friendly shipping to the US, UK, Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Japan and Singapore. Backers from these regions won’t spend additional money on customs or other import fees.

 How to Back 

Everybody can choose one reward to back this project.

If you want to add an extra pair of temples or frames, check out the ADD-ONS list below. You can add it to your reward by increasing your pledge by the amount specified in the list. You can only add things to your reward that are in the ADD-ONS list.

All details like shipping information, lens preference, and add-on specifics will be collected via survey after this campaign has ended.

Note: You may change Wayfarer Plano or Clubmaster Plano to Anti-blue lenses, at NO extra cost. We’ll collect that too, so no worries.






According to our latest test results, the audio latency gets around 200ms under normal music mode, and hits as low as 50-60ms in game mode. 



In this section, we test the sound leakage with and without the speaker pads at 100% volume level. In most real life cases in quiet surroundings, 30-50% volume will be sufficient.

On the decibel scale, the level increase of 10 means that a sound is actually 10 times more intense, or powerful. From our test, it shows the speaker pads can reduce sound leakage by around 3-5 decibels.

Here’s a reference of how loud are some common sounds to different decibel levels.



In this video, we activate “Voice recording function via Bluetooth device” on a Google Pixel 4A (Android 11) to conduct sound recording via the glasses to see how well the microphones take sounds. Let’s hear the final audio recording to check out.




Before proceeding to mass production as our next plan following this campaign, we want to ensure each pair of smart eyewear is quality built and engineered with reliable performance. Here’s the details and report of the various testing methods we’ve conducted with the product. 




To achieve IP67 water resistance and ensure the product’s durability coping with common challenges such as sweat, rain, or dust wear, we have tried and tested different sealing methods. In the end, we decided to apply hot-melt adhesive that was proved with the best sealing performance, achieving neat and tight covering of each temple in a sleek manner as desired. 

Hot-melt Adhesive



With GREAT Passion for wearable technology and pop arts, we dedicate ourselves to the design and innovation of smartwears that function as “multimedia apparel and accessories” to enhance our daily life. 

We are inspired by the vision of – bridging to the virtual world everywhere with wearables, and we believe simplicity always comes first in any success. In seeking various ways of merging multimedia technologies with daily wears, we adopt the principle of pragmatism.

We believe a good piece of smartwear should be comfortable to wear, durable, and offers a wide variety of styles. Functionality is important, but functionality that helps with aesthetics is crucial. The overall experience determines whether this “fashion technology” actually works. And this is what we want to make.
