 AV920 works with more than iPodsDec 14, 2007
By noise
These appear to be the Vuzix AV920s. If so, you can easily get them to work with the Cowon A2 player (and Zen Vision M, and Archos players) with the "Creative Labs Zen-M Video Cable for AV230, AV920 or DV920" sold on Vuzix's website.
I've been using them for a couple of weeks with a Cowon A2 and I am impressed. The screen resolution is considerably better than comparably priced competing products. Also, you can use your own headphones if you want, quite easily. That said, glasses like these aren't a substitute for a big plasma display - they're a way to watch tv on your back, or on a train, or wherever you can't take the plasma display with you. ;)

 Just AverageMay 25, 2008
By D. Drumheller
I only gave it a 3 star because:
1. There is no focus adjustment, i.e. if you wear glasses, you have to wear them for these to be in focus.
2. The screens themselves have a severe pincushioning effect, i.e. they are not precise rectangles; the sides of the image are concaved towards the center of the screen.

Great Toy for those Who Love High-Tech GadgetsJul 11, 2008
By S. Curnow
Overall, I'd rate this a good product. The video resolution IS NOT just like that large screen TV at home, but it gives good video when you are trapped on a plane, etc. Battery life is +/- 3 hours (less than advertised) and customer support from the manufacturer is virtually hopeless, but hopelfully you won't need it. I used the glasses on a cross-country flight recently to replay 2 movies on the iPod (5th generation). The 640x480 resolution is a little grainy, but as soon as you get into the movie, you forget about it. I used my own earphones rather than the "speakers" mounted on the glasses (they are removable). The "speakers" don't quite reach my ears (oops, my big head) and besides, I prefer my Etymonic Research earphones on a noisy plane. I would work hard to get the best price available (the list price is a little too high for what you get), but at the right price, these are a great purchase for those of us who are drawn to high-tech toys.

The future is improving.......Jun 16, 2008
By Andre Villemaire
I have been using them here and there for watching cartoons and some
movies. They are good but not great. The color looks better on the DVD
player than what come out of the glasses. I had no problem with vision
being blurry or getting dizzy, but i can understand that it can happen
depending in what state of mind the viewier is in. Overall im pleased
with them, but the price tag for the quality is a bit steep. I would
suggest to get them second hand.

 Lotsa funMar 01, 2008
By E. E. Andersen
"newarkshark"
I got my AV920 for Christmas and I have been having a ball with them since. I use them principally with an iPod (new Classic - 160 gig) and I am very pleased.
I had these comments:
- color rendition is not exactly "true". Mine seems a little reddish at times, but it is hardly noticeable. Not a significant detraction. Might even be the iPod rendition.
- the "new iPod" interface requires alot of wires and passes through the composite interface of the AV920, so it requires alot of plugs, too. It is a little unhandy; I bought a small bag and that keeps all the coils straight and out of the way.
- I have a big head. The earphones could been a litttttle looonger to match my ears. But really, they work fine, they are just at the max extension.
All in all, it works as promised and a whole lot of fun!
