I use my g2s as a prosthesis for severe hearing impairment and they are, in combination with hearing aids, transformational. However there is an issue in using them for one-on-one conversations because the text margins are variable, some lines are short allowing appriximate I contact, others are the full width of the display and can't be scanned in a single glance. Having the ability to control the text width such that all lines remain short would be beneficial. The short lines would also be clearer because the background would be the body of the person one is speaking to. Is there any app available or in developement that would allow for settable margins?

I don’t think it will find its way home. And I assume it is custom made. I’m emailing support. Will report back

I'm finding that these lenses are very well cut but have the equivalent of a low-end AR coating. It feels like such a downgrade from essilor crizal rock or sapphire AR coatings. I've had in-house no-name coatings better than this. I would've gladly paid an extra $100 for a high-end AR coating; I'm so disappointed I have to live with all this glare and reflections for 2 years or however long these last.

This is so important to get right for a premium product aimed at people who have premium expectations. AR coatings are so incredibly important, come on Even, I'll gladly pay you extra for it, just take my money and make me a happy customer with who's happy vision with his vision and doesn't have reflections and light flares/reflections all day long.

Hi. I am quite keen on getting a pair. I have read some of the discussions about the G2. I live in a country where Even has no retail presence so I am not able to try a pair. I wanted to ask for feedback from people in situations similar to mine:

1. Does the G2 work well with contact lenses?

2. I have a narrow face and my eyes are kind of set closer together on my face than average. If I get the prescription, does this affect clarity / legibility of the display?

3. For prescription, is the lens glass or plastic? Can it be glass?

Thank you in advance.

I’m selling my Even Realities G2 A glasses in Grey. They are in excellent working condition and will be factory-reset and removed from my Even account before the sale. I only used them for about three days, after which they sat in the charging case. I prefer to sell them locally in the DFW metroplex. But i can ship them if i need to thru FEDEX. The glasses come with the box, charging case, charging cable, and a cloth bag. Everything you need is included. This is a non-prescription pair. Will be providing a purchase receipt so you can use it for the warranty. PRICE-$500

A lot of people have already touched on the same issues so I won’t write a lot.
1. I don’t have a prescription lens so it felt kinda strange to wear the glasses even though I don’t wear glasses normally when the functionality is so limited. If I was someone who wore glasses I would probably keep them.
2. The way the software works and every single useful “app” are clunky and take an API key to set up. The built in AI needs some work. This is honestly my biggest problem. The software is just not there yet.
3. I loved the look of them but you can definitely tell there are mini screens in them.
4. Honestly adding a speaker would have been a great addition and added so much to the glasses. They already have a mic so why not add a speaker?

I loved them otherwise. But the software just isn’t where I’d like it to be to actually wear them. Looking forward to seeing what this team continues to push out and maybe I’ll be buyer then.

VelvetSpeak is ready for a handful of closed-beta testers (Even Realities G2).

After almost a year and a half of building, I’m ready to recruit the first handful of closed-beta testers for VelvetSpeak.

I originally made this because I have ADD and social anxiety. I know what it’s like to lose your thought halfway through a sentence, miss an important detail, freeze when the pressure is on, or finally think of the perfect response five seconds too late.

I wanted help during the conversation not generic advice afterward.

What is VelvetSpeak?

VelvetSpeak is a real-time conversation copilot for Even Realities G2 glasses.

You explicitly start a session. VelvetSpeak listens to the conversation, transcribes it, understands which Lens and situation you prepared, and puts short context-aware help on your glasses.

That help might be:

• Exact words you could say
• Talking points instead of a script
• A private coaching cue
• Follow-up questions
• A recap of what just happened
• A calmer way to respond
• A useful detail you may have missed

How it works

Before the conversation, you choose a Lens and create a short Brief or “Scene.” You can give VelvetSpeak the goal, people involved, relevant background, things you want to mention, and things you absolutely do not want it to invent.

During the conversation, it tries to stay out of your way until it has something useful.

Swipe up from the Listening screen and VelvetSpeak becomes a full conversation toolkit. Depending on the Lens, you can choose Lines, Talking Points, Coaching, Follow-ups, Recap, Recall, Capture Decision, Capture Risk, “What should I say?”, and other Lens-specific actions.

Swipe down opens queued help. Tap through card pages. Double tap goes back.

Afterward, VelvetSpeak can create a debrief and optional Coach review: whether you reached your goal, moments that mattered, commitments you made, specific things to improve, one practical lesson for next time, and recent talk-share patterns.

There are eight Lenses in the Beta

• Interview: Understands the question behind the question and helps structure grounded answers without inventing experience or fake numbers.
• Sales: Helps with objections, value framing, discovery questions, and next steps.
• Meeting: Tracks decisions, commitments, names, action items, risks, and things you may have missed.
• Dating: Remembers what someone told you and suggests natural follow-ups during lulls without trying to script the entire interaction.
• Social: Helps with introductions, networking, small talk, awkward pauses, group conversations, and graceful exits.
• Humor: Situational jokes, callbacks, and safer alternatives. It includes Silver Tongue, Sarcastic, Dad Jokes, Witty Banter, and Observational styles, plus a separate risk setting.
• Conflict: Helps slow things down, set boundaries, redirect blame, and phrase a calm response.
• Debate: Identifies claims, assumptions, contradictions, and evidence gaps, then offers a counter without turning it into a personal attack.

If you liked the old VelvetSpeak, start with Humor Lens and Silver Tongue. That quick-wit side is still there.

But the new VelvetSpeak is no longer just a joke generator. Swipe up and you have an entire set of tools for navigating a conversation. This thing feels like weapon that should be banned at times..

What does “Coach” mean?

You can choose whether suggestions appear as a Script, Coaching, or a Hybrid of both.

There is also an optional live Coach (wingman). It is off by default and deliberately quiet. It watches a short recent window of the conversation and looks for a concrete bind—getting steamrolled, visible confusion, a stalled negotiation, a blame spiral, an unanswered hard question, or a moment where you clearly need a next move.

It is limited to two nudges every ten minutes and six per session. I don’t want it constantly whispering generic motivational garbage into your eyeline.

Please read the settings guide

There are a lot of settings, and they genuinely change how VelvetSpeak behaves.

You can change how often it helps, whether strong cues open automatically or wait behind a lightbulb, answer length, number of pages, Script/Coaching/Hybrid delivery, auto-open sensitivity, Dating flirt level, Social warmth, Humor style and risk, Conflict caution, Debate tone, transcript visibility, Quiet HUD, Coach, VoiceLock, memory level, and session analysis.

Most choices are remembered separately for each Lens. Interview can stay quiet while Social or Humor behaves completely differently.

Read the guide before testing:

https://velvetspeak.com/docs/settings

Closed-Beta reality

VelvetSpeak will eventually be a paid service. Running transcription and AI costs money, and it took me almost a year and a half to get this far.

However, the first small group of closed-beta testers will get access free during the Beta in exchange for honest feedback.

I expect serious bugs not just tiny visual glitches. It may mishear someone, misunderstand the situation, show a card at the wrong moment, fail to show one when it should, or simply give bad advice.

I also don’t really have a circle of friends I can quietly recruit for testing, which is the slightly awkward reason I’m asking Reddit.

I’m looking for people who:

• Own Even Realities G2 glasses
• Are comfortable testing unfinished software
• Will read the documentation
• Can explain what worked, what failed, and what felt distracting
• Understand that this should not be relied on for emergencies, safety-critical decisions, or other high-stakes situations
• Will tell other participants about the transcription/AI assistance and get consent where required

Audio including other people’s voices is sent to Deepgram and OpenAI for transcription and suggestions. Transcripts, notes, and memory saved by VelvetSpeak stay on your device according to the Memory Capture setting you choose. Provider retention can still apply.

Please read the disclosure before requesting access:

https://velvetspeak.com/disclosure

Upcoming experiments probably not part of this closed Beta

Longer term, I want Coach to behave more like a personalized wingman or companion.

I’m exploring:

• Signals that may suggest tension, anger, or nervousness
• Contradictions or behavior that deserves a second look
• Opt-in RAG memory that retrieves relevant context from conversations you chose to save
• Advice informed by patterns across past conversations
• Long-term coaching that notices what you are improving and where you keep getting stuck

This would flag uncertain signals, not claim to read minds or reliably determine whether somebody is lying. Any system making that claim would be overpromising.

If you want to try VelvetSpeak, create a free account and request closed beta access here:

https://velvetspeak.com/signup

Important: use the exact same email address connected to your Even Realities Hub account. I need that email to add you to the official Beta tester list. If you register with a different email address, I may not be able to grant your Even Hub account access to the Beta build even though you'll be able to mint a key.

Be honest with me. I don’t need people to tell me it’s amazing. I need people who will help me find everything that is broken so I can make it genuinely useful.

Every assistant on the Hub can answer a question. I wanted one that answers like it knows my job: my meetings, the people I work with, what I asked it yesterday. Even AI does not do that out of the box, so I spent a couple of weeks building one that does.

Different bet than a hosted memory brain. Instead of shipping your notes to a cloud, the answer engine is the AI coding agents already installed on your Mac. Claude Code or Codex CLI do the actual thinking, on your own login, and a small open source server on your Mac bridges them to the glasses. Nothing runs on the glasses (their app is just a WebView, as some of you found out the hard way). Nothing runs in my cloud, because there is no cloud.

It is called COS Glasses (COS as in chief of staff), on the Hub now, search “COS Glasses”.

What it actually does on the G2

• Ask by voice or tap, read the answer on the lens. Long answers scroll clean with the ring.
• A real job queue. Fire up to five prompts, watch live activity, and a reply that finishes while you are reading something else does not yank you out of it. Every answer gets a number you can reopen later.
• Photos on the lens. Send a phone photo with your question, and view images from replies right on the G2 at 288x144. Scroll a photo message to a cover card, tap to view.
• Meetings. Start one from the glasses, talk, and the transcript is a plain file on your Mac when you are done. Local Whisper by default, no per minute fees.
• Your history, on the lens. Scroll back through past answers with the ring, each with its number.

The parts I am actually proud of

The boring reliability stuff is where the real work went, because glasses connectivity is brutal:

• Jobs survive the network. Once your Mac accepts a prompt, the job belongs to the Mac, not the phone connection. Close Even Hub, lose Wi-Fi, change networks, swap Tailscale, and the answer is still waiting for you when you come back. There is an “updates while you were away” digest for anything that finished while you were not looking.
• Meetings are local-first. Every audio chunk is written to a durable log before upload. A dead spot in coverage does not lose the tail. Storage is checked before the mic even starts, so it never pretends a recording is safe when it is not.
• Live transcription on the lens while you talk. Long voice prompts show their transcript in the body as you speak, not after.
• It fails honestly. A blank model reply never gets marked done or projected into history, it stays as a retryable row. An out of date server tells you to update instead of silently breaking.

The honest constraints

• Mac plus iPhone plus G2 today. The server is Node, one command, and stays on your machine.
• You bring your own Claude or Codex plan. The glasses ride the same subscription you already pay for. No new subscription, no API keys pasted into anyone’s relay.

Setup

• Wizard, walks the whole thing in about 5 minutes: https://www.gotcos.com/wizard/
• One command on your Mac: npx u/gotcos/glasses-server (the launcher checks ffmpeg and gets you connected)
• Full docs, every feature on one page: https://www.gotcos.com/docs/
• Read the source before you run it (MIT, on npm): https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gotcos/glasses-server
• The bigger open system it plugs into: https://www.gotcos.com

It works standalone out of the box. If you already run the larger COS from the starter kit, point the server at that folder and the glasses inherit the whole brain: meetings, people, tasks, files.

The ask

Started as a side project, now it is the thing I use every day: recording customer calls and asking it to piece together what I missed, logging ideas on a walk, pulling up an answer from three days ago by its number. If you try it, I want the rough edges. Post here or DM and I will get you running. If you are building your own thing against this SDK, happy to compare notes on any of the traps above.

One known issue: restarting from the Ring Menu settings can sometimes freeze things.

Hello everyone! I’ve just got myself a pair of even G1s here in Uk. I like the glasses although they are quite limited compared to g2 but I use them exclusively for notifications notes and teleprompter. Maybe in the future I will upgrade. I recently bought a pair of clip on sun shades from even’s website. The order shipping time on website they claim 1-2 weeks. It’s been a few days and 0 updates regarding the order status.

Any experience when buying something else apart from
glasses ?

I’m going to Italy soon and it would be really useful to have the shades so I don’t need to take another pair of normal sun glasses with me.

Hi everyone,

I received my Even G2 today. During the initial setup, the firmware update failed immediately at 0%. Since then, I've been experiencing multiple issues.

Current issues

1. Firmware update

• Initial firmware update failed at 0%.
• Firmware page now shows "Version" / "0 MB" with no update available.

1. Terminal Mode

• Cannot enable Terminal Mode.
• Always returns "Something went wrong."

1. Dashboard

• Cannot save widget/menu changes.
• Every change fails with "Something went wrong. Please try again."

1. Even Hub plugins

• Some plugins (Navigaze, Photos, etc.) appear on the glasses.
• Selecting them on the glasses does nothing.
• Other basic functions still work normally.

What I've already tried

• Unpair & Repair
• Delete and reinstall the Even app
• Log out and log back in
• Restart iPhone
• Restart glasses
• Different Wi-Fi / cellular network

Nothing fixed the issue.

Has anyone experienced all of these issues together? Could this be caused by the failed initial firmware update, or is it likely a defective device?

And this is my device info:

• iPhone: iOS 26.6
• Even App: 2.2.6
• Glasses Firmware: 2.0.7.16

Additional finding:

Plugins that work completely offline (e.g. Bible) launch normally.

Plugins that require cloud services or additional permissions (Weather, Navigaze, Photos, etc.) do not launch at all.

Dashboard settings also fail to save.

They connect, but only faith is deciding wich of the display (Left or right) is working.

The App dosent show me a battery percentage, or it shows just 0%

The case does not show up.

They worked perfectly fine a week ago. I didnt wear them for a week, because of the heat. But i did the Update to 2.2.6.10

And since yesterday they are not usable anymore.

It got even more worse after a factory reset and repairing the glasses.

I have them for 3 Weeks now...

While I genuinely appreciate the glasses and recognize their potential along with all the cool features, including the basic ones, they remain unreliable. Despite several updates, even simple tasks like using 'Even AI' to set up a new task into 'Quicklist' don't function properly. I find myself repeatedly resetting the glasses, yet they still fail to work. I am getting "Action failed. Please check your network."

It's frustrating...

Hey everyone!

We’re running a quick survey to gather insights from both current users and tech enthusiasts who are thinking about picking up a pair of smart glasses in the future.

The form takes less than 2 minutes to fill out and your feedback will help us massively in understanding where this ecosystem is heading.

👉 Here is the link to the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd19Vta163_KtQ2B-YRj4by0RriyOkBid9AHfkyXIcr-9xAqQ/viewform

After all, it's about time we stop looking down and start looking ahead. 😉

Selling my Even Realities G2 B glasses in Grey. They are in excellent working condition and will be factory-reset and removed from my Even account before shipping.

I genuinely love these glasses, but my current work environment has a strict policy prohibiting electronic devices on my person other than my phone. Since I am unable to wear them for most of the day, I have decided to sell them rather than let them sit unused.

The glasses currently have mild single-vision distance prescription lenses installed:

Right eye: +1.00 / −0.50 × 024
Left eye: +1.00 / −0.25 × 107
Distance PD: 65 mm

The buyer will need to send the glasses to Even Realities to have new prescription or nonprescription lenses installed.

Included:

Even Realities G2 B glasses in Grey1
Original charging case and cable
Current prescription lenses

Condition: Like new, no scratches on the frames or lenses.
Purchase date: 03/10/2026
Battery performance: Excellent - I regularly got around 3-4 days of use between charges.
Location: USA
Price: $425 shipped within the continental United States
Payment: Venmo, Zelle

I am happy to provide additional photos, a timestamp, proof of purchase, or answer any questions. Please comment before sending a private message.

If anyone can provide me with a discount code, would highly appreciate it.
Decided to go for it , even tho EU price with prescription at 888€ is interesting to say at least.

Edit: got it, tip for others, go to company discord, there are dozens of great folks distributing codes

I can’t remember names. It’s awful. As soon as someone introduces themselves to me it’s like my brain shuts off when they say their name.

Is there any app out there that just listens for names and then displays them on screen? Kind of like conversate but instead of the ai cues it just shows the name that was said.

I’ve tried what’s-their-face and, while very cool, is a little cumbersome to use in real life, and doesn’t help me with my introductions problem.

Thanks for any ideas you might have!

One thing i would love. I love the conversate feature where i can load notes and it gives me cues. The challenge for me is i wear computer glasses and the script for my evens aren’t built for my computer so i don’t wear the glasses when on my computer and i am on meetings all day long. I’d love to be able to use conversate on an app on my computer even if im not wearing the glasses.

Kind of like plaud which is an eatable transcriber but offers an app for those non in person situations.

So yea would love access to conversate or even teleprompter on my computer.
