I have a couple pairs. They don't really do much during the day nor will they enhance your game in any way. I use f.lux on my PC at night, so I only use mine when I watch TV before bed. They do reduce the strain on your eyes when you're staring at a bright screen. Probably worth 30 bucks just for TV before bed.

Get them if you wanna look like Bono.. nah but seriously I wouldnt recommend gunnars cause they have a slight magnification (which is not a good thing - for eyestrain/unless you needed it to see). The 'AMBeR' lens actually does reduce glare/eyestrain but I mean its just a yellow lens and any pair of glasses with yellow tint is equally as effective. The marketing on their site and steelseries is laughable bs eg: 'The highly wrapped, curved lens shape limits air currents near the eyes, creating a higher humidity environment.' lmfao steelseries is a joke of a company

the only ones i've seen in southamerica are like 100 dollars, so i'd buy them only because they're cheap and could help me with the eye strains during the night.

wrechedddddTheFragileAnother thing I don't understand is that they have a bunch of different kinds, lol. I understand that some are probably more vibrant / magnify better than others, but it seems kinda weird / shady to me.
yeah idk whats up with that. im a huge skeptic about marketing bs like that. like that one time i saw hd glasses on a tv infomercial at like 4am. "see real life in real HD!!!11!" fuck those guys.

the features that stand out to me about gunnars would be the decrease in eye strain & color enhancement. but its probably just a mental thing. like shit guys i just spent 100 bucks on these glasses, they just GOTTA work.

edit: maybe they just have different styles for super stylish awesome individuals like us?
