I wear my Rokid glasses every day. I had the Even glasses and they were definitely more stylish and comfortable but they just don’t really do anything.

Wayfarer and HSTN are both top-3 sellers for Ray-Ban and Oakley respectively. Hard to get more popular. FWIW, I get lots of compliments on all three of my Meta Wayfarers, and those people are genuinely shocked when I tell them they’re smart glasses. YMMV tho.

So if you want to use the camera for live streaming, then in theory that is the Mentra Live’s whole value proposition (ie live streaming, which I understand is different than podcasting but could be in that general bucket). In practice, I haven’t tried it yet personally but have read the quality is
