Key takeaways

1. Music while your ears stay open to the world.
2. Phone calls with microphones that cut out wind and traffic.
3. Hands-free texts and voice messages.
4. POV photos and videos of moments you’d otherwise miss.
5. Meta AI for weather, recipes, plant ID and more.

1. Listening to music

One of my favorite things is listening to music while I’m on a walk, cleaning the house or working at my desk. The glasses leave your ears open, so you hear what’s around you while your music plays. Just say, “Hey Meta, play my liked playlist on Spotify.”

2. Phone calls

The call audio is crazy good. I’ve had wind blowing in my face and cars driving by, and I never get complaints. The microphones are that clear. This might be my first or second favorite day-to-day feature. Start a call with “Hey Meta, call Mom,” and hang up from your phone, with a double tap on the side, or by saying “Hey Meta, hang up.”

3. Hands-free texts and voice messages

Say, “Hey Meta, send a voice message on Instagram to Josh,” record it, and confirm with “yes.” Or send a regular text: “Hey Meta, send a text to Josh,” dictate the message, and it reads it back before sending. It’s seriously that easy.

4. POV photos and videos

“Hey Meta, take a photo” or “Hey Meta, take a video” captures what you’re seeing. It’s especially great when your kid runs up to hug you, or your dog comes over to say hi, and you don’t want to fumble for your phone.

5. Meta AI for everyday questions

I use Meta AI for all kinds of things:

• Weather: I asked about the weather and whether I needed a jacket. It said it was about 75 and sunny but would drop to the low 60s that night, so it suggested a light jacket.
• Cooking: I asked for the top three cookies for a birthday party, then got ingredients for the first one.
• Plants: I asked it to identify a purple plant by my window. It said it looked like a dendrobium orchid and gave care tips: bright indirect light, water when the mix dries out, good airflow, and no cold drafts.

Why I wear them every day

Those are just some of the ways I use them. I always find new things to do with them, and they’re great for everyday tasks.
