Google Glass Release Date: Music Features Added to Connected Eyewear (UPDATE)

| By

Google Glass users can now listen to music on their $1,500 devices thanks to the company's Tuesday release The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The new feature allows users to look for songs, review playlists, and hear music files in good quality sound with the device on their head.

"With these new features, we're now building a great music experience on Glass, whether you're a classical music professor, an acclaimed sound engineer and hip-hop producer, or someone who wants to listen to their favorite tunes anytime, anywhere," Ed Sanders, director of marketing for Google Glass, said in a statement The Times reported.

Google will also be launching its own headphones specifically made for the connected eyewear by November's conclusion for $85. Tuesday's news is also the company's latest development for the product since it announced it is constantly working to improve it for consumers.

"We've learned a ton, and we've been working hard to make Glass software better with our regular #glassupdates each month," the company said in a statement on its blog last month. "At the same time, we've been making the hardware better, too. We want to say "thank you" for all the amazing feedback we've been getting, so later this year, all Explorers will have a one-time option to swap out their existing Glass for a new one. This hardware update will allow your Glass to work with future lines of shades and prescription frames, and we'll also include a mono earbud."

One other new change has been the replacement of a new head-mounted camera based on customer critiques about how the product can be improved and the ability for user to send requests to three friends.

"They'll be able to buy Glass online and can have it shipped to their home, office, treehouse or igloo," the company said in a statement last month. "We're counting on you to get Glass to the people you think will make great Explorers. More Explorers means more feedback, and more feedback means better Glass."

The company has patched up the problem by updating the devices software on per month basis, but the company has found the program has to be revamped.
