Absolutely love them. They're not absolutely essential, but they're a nice-to-have and they're a lot more convenient than putting in ear buds.
The problem though is that I would never have thought to ever buy them myself. I feel this way about these AR glasses.
- djtango 1y agoThis is how some even older people feel about smartphones :p Some of this is the lack of a killer app and some of this will be generational. At some point the 10-30yos will be more used to being permanently plugged in than not. (we're probably already there in some senses, but will go through the same adoption cycle again for AR/VR imo)

All my music. Immediately. All the time.

- Ntrails 1y agoI still miss making mix tapes, it was super fun trying to get the timings right and make sure the tracks lined up nicely etc :(
