There weren't any reviews on these glasses anywhere that I could find, so here goes. I've had three pairs of these. Very comfortable and decently built. The catch is that the manufacturer stock photos for both the brown and blue versions are very very well illuminated, which makes the marbled design of each appear really full of character. My first brown pair was a bit darker and was told this due to variations in the manufacturing process which is understandable. I replaced them for another try and those were better but still a bit dark unless you held them up to the sun. I swapped them out for the blue version and although somewhat better, the same color concern still applies. This is the fault of the manufacturer with stock pics taken in an unnaturally brightened environment. I gave up and just kept the blue ones.

The solo pic seems to be stock photo from the manufacturer. Even the couple other pics I've seen elsewhere show these as being a medium-dark brown that has some character. Unfortunately mine were either from a bad batch or otherwise the mfr backlights the frames with a 500w light in their photos, because mine are pretty much black in even bright room lighting. Only when the frames are held to a natural light on their own do you see the brownish design to them. Unfortunately I don't have a light bulb strapped to my head. These will be going back. I will say the design and fit is otherwise perfect. I'm leaning toward the blue version but fear the darkness pattern may follow it. Ugh.
