What creators think

Dina Powell McCormick and This Week in Startups are the clearest advocates, with Powell McCormick citing the speaker quality, hands-free convenience, and features like conversation focus and translation as genuine daily-use wins, and Joe McCormack describing himself as an avid user. The skepticism is real, though — TBPN calls theirs "very expensive, staggeringly incompetent glasses," and D.A. Wallach doesn't see them displacing the smartphone anytime soon. GaryVee raised the audio quality question to an audience without personally endorsing them, and the remaining mentions are largely observational — people noting the product exists or that Zuckerberg uses it, not recommending it themselves.

vs: Not seen as a successor to the iPhone

"I don't think the Meta Glasses are likely to displace cell phones. So, as of yet, we have not found the successor to the iPhone."

"How many people here have played with the Meta glasses and wear them at times? How many of you that just raised your hands are blown away how much better the audio is on those glasses than even AirPods right now?"
