The last time we took a look at a pair of Gunnar glasses, ones designed to ease eye strain when playing games or looking at a computer screen for long periods of time, the results were somewhat controversial in the comments. The company has just sent us another set of glasses to review, and this time the product is even more niche: higher quality 3D glasses.

These are passive 3D glasses, compatible with the RealD technology used in theme parks and movie theaters, so if you're in the market for a TV that uses active glasses technology, you're out of luck here.

Like all 3D glasses, they're not cheap, costing between $100 and $200 depending on style and options. That being said, I carried my pair around E3—which is a 3D-rich environment—and have used them extensively in the past few weeks. They're easy to fall in love with.

You don't realize just how terrible the disposable 3D glasses you're used to in movie theaters truly are until you wear a pair that actually fit a human head and don't make you look silly. These are pure luxury, and it's hard to find anyone who spends so much time looking at 3D content that this seems like a good deal. Still, these glasses, quite simply, are awesome. They look good, they feel great, and I noticed far less eye strain when wearing these compared to the bulky and uncomfortable stock glasses.

Gunnar is a company that seems to invite scorn with its techno-speak and high claims to go with their high prices, but every time I've used one of their products I've come away very happy with that's being offered, even at the price being asked.

I still have my original set of glasses, and I'm thinking these would be a great addition to our Child's Play drive this coming holiday season; who doesn't want a super-comfortable pair of 3D glasses when watching a movie?
