Hi James - unfortunately no, it only works on video-out content - movies, tv shows, or music videos. It doesn’t work with the other applications like web surfing or anything else.

Kitten, will the MyVu display anything other than videos? What if you want to websurf or read emails, etc.? Can you use the glasses for such? Thanks

Thanks Trisha, I was hoping maybe there was a way to do it. Oh well my point is if I am watching a video in the bed at night and want to switch to music I will not have to change the glasses for my earbuds or headphones. Thanks glad I found this site. Take care.

Hi Mark

I apologize for my last comment not being clearer - I was simply trying to point out to Bumperhill that not having a cell signal while on a Safari would not stop him from enjoying the iPhone’s iPod features, such as listening to music and watching videos - those will still work even though the “phone” won’t. But the Myvu is just for watching video output, not music. For music just regular earbuds are all you need. With music there is nothing to watch, so you wouldn’t need the myvu.

Hello all hi Kitten. I just received my Solo Plus and was disspaointed to find out that I can not use it just to listen
to music only videos. I see you said you enjoy listening to music and watching videos.
I called Myvu and was told it will not work for just music. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

Yes! It draws power from your iPod or iPhone, so as long as that’s fully charged, the Myvu will work anywhere that your iPod or iPhone will work (remember that even when you don’t have a “cell phone” signal, you’ll still be able to use your iPhone’s iPod features - listening to music and watching videos. Enjoy your Safari! Just be sure to pay attention to what’s going on around you, so you don’t get run over by a Water Buffalo while watching a movie

You might try the MyVu website…..http://www.myvu.com/Buy/…..that is where I bought mine and they shipped very quickly - although you may want to check to be sure they will ship to France. Be sure to get the Solo Plus Edition, not the Universal Edition. Good luck!

ok, thanks, i’ll return it where i buy it tomorrow, but i’m not sure that i can find the solo plus edition ( because i’m in France ), i find the fully loaded on ebay for a cool price ( 115$ ), but i can’t find anyone who is selling it and shipping it in France. i’ll tell you in few days how it turns.
thanks

Thanks for the image link - yours does look different than mine. I have a “power” button where your volume control is. I believe that there is a distinct difference in the two - the good folks at MyVu told me that the “SOLO Plus Edition” is the only one that is certified to work with the iPhone.

I’d suggest contacting MyVu to verify this, but I believe you’ll need to exchange yours. Good luck and let me know how it turns out!
