There are plenty of AR glasses, VR headsets, and other high-tech eyewear at CES 2025. Almost every device has some kind of AI implementation or a camera embedded in the glasses, giving users a lot of power – almost more. he will always intend to use it.
But, the key word here is “almost.” And that’s thanks to Chamelo Eyewear, a smart glasses company focused on performance.
CES 2025 highlights: What we’ve seen so far
Chamelo brought a number of its latest products to CES, but all of the company’s smart glasses focus on one main feature: Changing the color of your glasses.
Also at CES was Chamelo’s Chief Brand Officer, former New York Knicks player and two-time NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury. Unlike other celebrity endorsements or collaborations, you can tell Marbury is actually wearing Chamelo glasses. As you can see in our video interview above, Marbury broke down how Chamelo’s smart glasses work and their use cases with the love and knowledge of the startup founder.

Chamelo offers your regular sunglasses, smart sports glasses, and its latest prescription lens product Aura Rx. No camera screen, no audio recording, no advanced AI capabilities. Smart glasses can simply adjust the tint level and color of your smart glass lenses with the push of a button. Anyone who regularly wears glasses will use these tint features for everyday use.
The company also has an audio version of its product called the Music Shield, which simply adds an audio speaker to Chamelo’s color-changing glasses. Only the person wearing glasses can hear the music being taken out of handcuffs.
The feature proved to work well when Mashable tried it out on the CES show floor. Although Chamelo’s glasses were playing music, I didn’t hear it until I put the device on my head. Likewise, I couldn’t hear the music playing in the pair Marbury was wearing. The showroom floor is admittedly a noisy place, so it would have been difficult to pick up any sound leaks, but if there were they seemed to be minimal.
In an event where many companies are trying to outdo each other with complex, unprecedented features, it’s good to see companies like Chamelo focus on the usability of their products.
