The translator feature is cool, I like the charge while wearing feature as well but I could do without the rest. No way they sell to the masses $2,200 for a novelty item!!!!, I stick with my gen 2 rayban metas lol

Zuckerberg and Jobs vibes delayed by a few years and decades. Why can’t these CEO’s be a bit more original?
