I was looking at “spy earbuds” but they just don’t seem too practical, even the real expensive ones I found are still disposable batteries only and I just don’t wanna drop that kind of money. I do however wear glasses and looking online I see they average about $30 for a pair of bluetooth enabled ones. My only question is, has anyone tried these? How are they, can you get them in prescription and how discreet is the audio playback?

    1. The sound output is on the outside of the glasses arms, not against your ears. Maybe all of these smart glasses are like this, but I find this odd. So at maximum to near maximum volume, people within 20 feet can hear it, which can make for quite the annoyance to others.

      That is interesting because I just heard back from my friend and he claims they make hardly any sound when he takes them off his head, and he thinks its unlikely others could hear it.

      Of course, as a shut-in, he doesn’t have tons of noise around him so maybe he uses a lower volume than you would need say, on the street in New York City.
