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

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

      ​@Pixel3DVRlike just a regular headphone?

      @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

    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.

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

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

    Who needs privacy around you with your glasses…?

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

      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

      And what, get off YouTube if you concerned

    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?

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

  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.

    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. @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

      June 23, 2026 at 5:48 pm
