SonaVue is a hearing enhancement for everyday listening. It is not a hearing aid and makes no medical claims. Reader variants provide fixed over-the-counter magnification; they are not custom prescription lenses.
Description
Open-ear listening. Clear calls. Glasses and sound in one frame. SonaVue Classic are glasses with built-in speakers for people who want their music, podcasts and calls with them all day without putting anything in their ears. A gloss-black acrylic frame in a classic style makes them glasses you will want to wear every day. Thin speakers set into the temples aim the sound at your ears without closing them: you hear your music, your calls and the world around you, all at once. Two beamforming microphones cut background noise on calls so your voice comes through clearly.
Includes a lifetime subscription to the Ear Dance app: live translation in 165 languages. No extra purchase.
Shipping, returns and warranty
Tracked shipping to Iceland, the UK and the USA. You have 30 days from delivery to return SonaVue in original condition. The warranty card is in every box.
Nothing in your ears. Everything around you.
Beamforming speakers in the temples aim the sound at your ears instead of closing them. You still hear traffic, doorbells and the people around you.

Where will you wear them?
Music on, traffic still there.
Your ears stay open, so you hear cars, bells and the people around you while you listen.
Ears open, eyes on the road.
Polarised sun lenses cut glare from wet roads and reflective surfaces. You hear the traffic and answer a call with one press of the button.
Three frames. Compare them.
Open-ear listening, translation and IP54 protection are in all three. Jona and K-Man are the SonaVue premium line, with new audio processing, improved sound and call noise cancelling.

Common questions
Is SonaVue a hearing aid?
No. SonaVue is a hearing-enhancement product — open-ear audio glasses for people with good hearing who want music, calls and real-time translation without tuning out the world around them. It is not a hearing aid and is not intended to address hearing loss. For that, see Harmonix Elevate, our CE-marked, self-fitting hearing aid.
Are SonaVue glasses water-resistant?
All three SonaVue frames are rated IP54 — protected against dust and splashing water — but they are not waterproof. Don't swim, shower, or submerge them, keep the charging cable dry, and wipe them down if they're caught in the rain.
Can an optician adjust SonaVue?
Yes, with care. Small adjustments at the nose and frame front are fine. The temples contain electronics, so they should not be heated or bent.
How long does the battery last?
About 10 hours of streaming on a full charge over Bluetooth 5.4, and about 8 hours of hands-free calls. The HWA series runs a little longer — about 11 and 9. A full charge takes about an hour and a half.
How many languages does the translation feature support?
The Ear Dance app supports 165 languages and dialects for translation. The list updates as the app evolves, so check the app for the current set.
