They're fun, and they do make computer usage more pleasant, but a bit expensive for what they do since f.lux does much of the same, although I think the optiks to magnify stuff a teensy teensy amount, at least it feels like it when I use mine.
But the majority of the marketing is BS. They're overpriced, don't really do much, but they're sorta nifty. I got mine as a gift so I'm happy.

I have just read that they just filter the blue spectrum of the light emitting from the display and thus have a relaxing effect on the eyes. Plus they have a 0.2 magnitude effect, so you can read smaller texts better. Hype or not, it is all subjective.

Some people describe headache after using those, some are annoyed by the reflecting light on the inner of the glasses. Others report positive results while gaming or working. Maybe I will get a pair someday when I get to work in an office.

Damn hella cheap. I've had my ppk onyx for almost a month now. I won't work or game without them now. 11+ hours a day for work is awesome on eye strain.
