Price is a big barrier for most people who’d like to try out smart glasses for gaming, watching movies, or using their computers.
Many models are at $400 and up, but you can snag a refurbished pair of Viture’s Luma Pro USB-C smart glasses for about $271 with the code LONGWEEKEND at eBay.
Each set is listed as being in “very good” condition, with “inconspicuous signs of use after being opened by users.” Every refurb purchase is a bit of a gamble versus buying new, but this purchase has a 30-day window for free returns and two years of warranty coverage via Allstate.
