Norm from Tested recently reviewed the "Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses". The most interesting use case for him was to have good, non obtrusive earphones that allow you to hear normally without blocking people out.

The amount of people in the comments not understanding why open buds are relevant to some people / the concept of earbuds overall is quite funny. I guess there's some truth in stereotypical Lemmy user rarely showing up outside 🙃
OK, but why the fuck are their models looking at me like I'm a piece of shit?
Do wearing these gives you a futuristic superiority complex?
Open almost always means no bass (unless you're spending $500+ on planar magnetic), so I'll pass.
Semi-closed back is the way to go. Best of all worlds (good sound stage + good bass).
Sure but "almost always" is not "always". Maybe don't judge these until you've heard them?
You haven't even heard them and are making grand assumptions. The bass is great at low to medium listening levels but rolls off as you increase the volume due to physical limitations.
I'm pretty sure those physical limitations are exactly what he's talking about.
