      I had to rewatch that part about 6 times, even turned on closed caption. What a question… Lol

    • @Pixel3DVR

      June 23, 2026 at 4:31 pm

      obviously he meant one that will have speakers and microphone, but no camera.

    • @abdola-g6v

      June 23, 2026 at 4:39 pm

      ​@Pixel3DVRlike just a regular headphone?

    • @Pixel3DVR

      June 23, 2026 at 4:48 pm

      @abdola-g6v no, regular headphones cover your ears. and wearing regular headphones over regular glasses is a terrible experience.

    I wear my glasses all day every day. Not sure about having to put my glasses in another room just to have adult time with my husband

    • @nnamdiokechukwu9778

      June 23, 2026 at 1:47 pm

      whats wrong with having some video on record. maybe AI can suggest improvements.

  3. @AugustWeatherMedia

    June 23, 2026 at 10:15 am

    i thought kylie jenner was the model?

  4. @navneetkumar9516

    June 23, 2026 at 10:16 am

    Those displays with floating glasses are so cool.

  5. @nriik4081

    Nothing new with the wrist band control thingy??

  6. @toology55

    I’m getting the new snap specs….. just kidding.

    June 23, 2026 at 10:53 am

    Meta is warming up the market for others. I’m waiting for Apple. Can’t have Zuck cams.

    • @Jimbo-s7v

      June 23, 2026 at 3:19 pm

      Apple will be ugly, overpriced glasses like all of their products. And only work with Apple products, huge negative.

    • @Rowllex

      June 23, 2026 at 3:28 pm

      @Jimbo-s7v ugly? Let’s wait and see.

    • @Jimbo-s7v

      June 23, 2026 at 3:55 pm

      ​@Rowllexyes. To be fair most of the smart glasses are “ugly” but everyone has different tastes.

  8. @dee4071

    June 23, 2026 at 11:17 am

    Personally I don’t trust the guy. Mark has a history of using people’s personal data for his dark purposes. I’ll pass 😅

  9. @JavenarchX

    June 23, 2026 at 11:20 am

    Who needs privacy around you with your glasses…?

  10. @pumpuppthevolume

    June 23, 2026 at 11:28 am

    Facebook spy glasses u mean

    • @nnamdiokechukwu9778

      June 23, 2026 at 1:46 pm

      There are cameras on every nook and cranny, stop crying.

    • @promonadeer

      June 23, 2026 at 2:47 pm

      @nnamdiokechukwu9778 You’re right, we’re already being surveilled so why not let them surveil us even more! You’re a genius!!

    • @pumpuppthevolume

      June 23, 2026 at 2:50 pm

      ​@nnamdiokechukwu9778 yeah but not zuck’s cameras

    • @Jimbo-s7v

      June 23, 2026 at 3:16 pm

      ​@nnamdiokechukwu9778yup

    • @mcmach1

      June 23, 2026 at 6:41 pm

      And what, get off YouTube if you concerned

  11. @saddam9507

    June 23, 2026 at 11:45 am

    How do you change the Li Ion battery when it starts to not hold a charge anymore? Li Ion batteries degrade with charge cycles and age. Are the glasses disposable when this happens?

  12. @lilmario0

    June 23, 2026 at 11:58 am

    Love the design the presenter is wearing. Those are nice.

  13. @magic_fruit_bat5003

    Everyone’s going to look like a bunch of nerds

  14. @Top10Tibbz

    More training for their AI models

  15. @Gravage

    June 23, 2026 at 2:57 pm

    Not sure why anyone would want a Kylie Jenner anything, but we live in a strange world filled with some very confused people.

    • @TBartman88

      June 25, 2026 at 6:04 pm

      It’s a style. Like bell bottoms.

    • @d9918

      June 25, 2026 at 6:49 pm

      ​@TBartman88I’ve still got mine any day now they’re coming back

    • @BuffCrusader123

      June 25, 2026 at 7:45 pm

      Just like why would anyone want Michael Jordan shoes? It’s branding and style

  16. @Jimbo-s7v

    June 23, 2026 at 3:19 pm

    Would be nice if it actually had a landscape oriented camera and not a portrait oriented.

  17. @chrischrischris801

    June 23, 2026 at 4:05 pm

    now every minute notification in front of your nose and no more privacy … no thanks

  18. @CJayyTheCreative

    June 23, 2026 at 4:29 pm

    lol I’m the only one who saw khleo Thomas, zero from Disneys holes movie was right behind you

  19. @BarelyAverageDude

    June 23, 2026 at 4:39 pm

    So I’ve been paying an extra $100 for the Ray-Ban branding? 😅🫪

  20. @DragonSlayerForever

    June 23, 2026 at 4:39 pm

    FYI, my Meta glass text to speech suddently does not work…. I can no longer text via speech while driving. Which is the main of of these glasses for me

  21. @DragonSlayerForever

    June 23, 2026 at 4:39 pm

    FYI, my Meta glasses’ text to speech suddently does not work recently…. I can no longer text via speech while driving. Which is the main use of these glasses for me.

  22. @hyperiondragon

    June 23, 2026 at 5:26 pm

    So far most of these glasses are HUGE. Both the frames and sizing. I’m waiting for smaller ones 5 to 10 years from now

    • @FooFightersVR

      June 23, 2026 at 5:48 pm

      You mean the Blayzer Optics lil bro??

  23. @fatcole1152

    June 23, 2026 at 5:50 pm

    Costs a lot to be an unpaid employee of the surveillance state

  24. @whitemailprivilege2830

    June 23, 2026 at 8:30 pm

    1:58 I’ve been wearing glasses without a camera for 25 years

  25. @NeonVisual

    June 23, 2026 at 10:33 pm

    Yes but they all look like novelty clown glasses

  26. @travisj2370

    June 24, 2026 at 3:52 am

    id like smart glasses that work like a body cam for driving or riding motorcycles
    long record times and even longer battery life

  27. @dannygarcia555

    June 24, 2026 at 4:06 am

    No one is saying these dont have the fing display. Why get an ai glasses with no screen so dumb

  28. @paulcostache6733

    June 24, 2026 at 8:03 am

    Mark needs more of our personal data for his AI ambitions, does he?
    Not a chance

    Spanish autodubbing please

  30. @day1_walks

    June 24, 2026 at 2:43 pm

    no opt out fro privacy is a pass

  31. @danielgauthier8718

    June 24, 2026 at 5:02 pm

    Privacy theres plenty of ways to record if people want. You need to camera to identify things

  32. @Pixelpunch3

    June 24, 2026 at 5:43 pm

    If states require two party consent for voice or video recordings then how is this crap even legal? It either isn’t or shouldn’t be. I hate all of the crap that they’re trying to push on us.

  33. @ring05

    June 24, 2026 at 7:16 pm

    299 glasses that does nothing.

  34. @WendyRoodal

  36. @srdiver01

    June 25, 2026 at 9:15 am

    Heard Kylie jenner. Noone in my fam will own and Kardashian trash.

  37. @c.daubz.5386

    June 25, 2026 at 12:03 pm

    Smart glasses are still public Beta devices, not worth the cost to average person

  38. @bluedream2493

    June 25, 2026 at 4:16 pm

    But why are these cheaper than the scriber and blazer optics? Doesnt make any sense

From its dual-camera design to its cutting-edge sensor tech and wider dynamic range, DJI’s Pocket 4P comes with a range of upgrades that make this the ultimate handheld gimbal camera for pro creators wanting to travel light.

Starting at £529 in the UK, it’s not actually that much more expensive than the base Pocket 4 at £445 and the Osmo Pocket 3, which started at £519. But there’s a catch…it’s not officially sold in the U.S.

Unbox it with us and let’s take it out on the street of Paris. #dji #unboxing #vlogging #osmopocket #osmopocket4p
