Re:Don't buy AR glasses by anotherevan on Tuesday November 10, 2026 @05:33PM (#50447259)
What I want (what I really, really want) is a set of quality frames with bluetooth that I can drop prescription lenses into, that have good bone conduction audio for playback, with a mic suitable for using for phone calls. Absolute bonus for a simple heads up display of some sort. Even a simple one or two lines of scrolling text would be wonderful.

Specifically do not want it tied to some company ecosystem (looking at Meta glasses here) or using AR overlays. Also do not want a camera in it.

I did have a pair of Vocalskull frames with the bluetooth audio that were reasonably good for a while (I was living the dream!) But after a while the rubber layer over the bone conduction pads wore away and the metal was causing skin irritation so I sadly had to give them up.
