Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Bone conduction headphones have existed for a while.
I personally hate them. But you dont need creeper glasses for that feature.
Did you read my other use cases or just answer about listening to music?
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I've owned several pairs of bone conduction headphones, both Alibaba white label stuff and the big brand name. All of them:
They are essentially the "audio only version" of Meta glasses you're requesting. My current Shokz OpenMove was a big upgrade in Bluetooth range and connection stability from any of the white label stuff, though some of those sounded about as good.
What other uses did you state that traditional bone conducting headphones can't do? Or any of the many audio only fashion glasses?
You paid a premium to one of the worst corporations to have a feature you claim not to want?
I didn't pay premium, my health plan covers vision and they were dirt cheap. I picked up gen 1 glasses before there were audio only fashion glasses.
Go ahead and tell me what else I did since you seem to think you know me so well.
I don't think I know you at all, I'm responding strictly to what you said...
Gen 1 was released in 2023 at $299. Before then, you could buy a Razer Anzu for $200, a Fauna for $299 if you wanted better "luxury" than the RayBan logo on the shitty meta glasses, or a JLab JBuds Frames for $50 if all you cared about are the things you said you cared about.
It's okay to have been uninformed, it's okay that you didn't know there were other options. It's not okay to gaslight everyone by pretending the meta glasses invented a solution for the use cases you listed...
I have Nothing headphones personally which I use with transparency mode, and it works perfectly fine for everything you said you needed your camera equipped glasses for... You wanted smart glasses, that's alright to say, but it certainly isn't only solution to your needs.
