idk about these new glasses from Meta πŸ€” they sound like a fancy novelty but i'm still on the fence about them... better battery life and speakers sounds cool, but what's the point of having a camera in your glasses? just more chances for it to get in the way or get scratched πŸ˜’ and $499 is kinda steep for something that might not even change my daily routine.
 
I think I'm gonna go with the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses - yeah, nope! They're overpriced and have a weird new way of controlling them that's kinda annoying... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah, I think I'll stick with my current pair, but only because I don't want to spend $499 on another gadget πŸ˜…. On the other hand, I'm really curious about those Fractal Design Scape speakers - maybe they're actually pretty good? πŸ€” But then again, have you seen the prices of those things?! It's like Meta's trying to rob us blind πŸ’Έ... Ugh, I don't even know anymore!
 
I'm not entirely sold on the new Meta glasses πŸ€”. Don't get me wrong, 82/100 is a solid score, but those pros sound pretty promising – better battery life and speakers? That's some serious competition for Apple Watch! The redesigned camera also sounds like a game-changer, especially with that action button feature πŸ“Έ. But I do wish they'd ironed out those hyperlapse issues... still not enough third-party app integrations for my taste πŸ˜’. Not sure if it's worth the $499 price tag just yet, but I'm keeping an eye on this one πŸ‘€
 
ugh, new meta vanguard glasses just hit 499 bucks and they're still kinda pricey lol. at least they got some things right tho like better battery life and speakers... but hey, hyperlapse clips can be a bit wonky 😬
 
Ugh, can't believe how expensive all these tech gadgets are πŸ€‘ $499 for those Oakley glasses? That's like buying a new laptop! And what's up with no reviews for Fractal Design Scape and Galaxy S25 FE? Like, I'm trying to make an informed decision here... 😩 Can we get some actual scores or pros & cons lists? I just want to know if something's worth throwing my money at. 🀯
 
I feel ya... πŸ€— So many awesome tech products out there, and it's hard to choose just one! I mean, who wouldn't want a pair of Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses with better battery life and speakers? 🎧 It sounds like they're really stepping up their game. But at the same time, I'm a bit miffed that some reviews aren't available... like, what's the deal with that? πŸ˜’ Can we get more info on those other products, like the Fractal Design Scape and Galaxy S25 FE? πŸ€” And have you guys tried Private Internet Access VPN yet? That one seems super important for online security... πŸ’»

Honestly, I think it's kinda weird that some of these products don't even have reviews πŸ€”. Like, what's the point of a list if you can't tell us about each product? The Meta Vanguard sounds pretty solid tho, but 499 bucks is still kinda steep πŸ’Έ. I'd love to see more affordable options in that price range. And what's with all these products from Samsung and Amazon? Can't we get some new brands in the mix every once in a while? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
I think the Meta Vanguard is a total waste of money πŸ€‘. I mean, $499 is way too much for just better battery life and speakers. You can get similar stuff from other brands for like half the price. And don't even get me started on the camera - it's not that great either. I've seen way better hyperlapse clips from other apps. And third-party app integrations? More like a necessity than a bonus. The Scape from Fractal Design is probably where it's at, if you ask me 🀞
 
[Image of a person wearing glasses and holding a Meta Vanguard] πŸ€” $499 might be a bit steep but if it's got better battery life... idk tho 😐 [GIF of a battery with an increasing power level] πŸ”‹πŸ’» [Image of a speaker with sound waves emanating from it] πŸ‘‚
 
omg I'm loving the new Meta Vanguard glasses! 499 bucks might be a bit steep but if they really do last longer and have better cameras and speakers then it's worth it πŸ€‘ I've been eyeing those for a while now... does anyone know how the action button is supposed to work tho? I want to know if it's just like Alexa or if it's some new Meta thing πŸ€”
 
I've been eyeing those Meta glasses for a while now πŸ•ΆοΈ. I think 82/100 is pretty solid for Oakley Meta Vanguard considering the features they packed into it - better battery life, speakers, and durability are all great pros. I'm more of a practical person so I'd say these are worth checking out if you're looking for an affordable and reliable option for everyday wear.

On the other hand, I'm curious about those Fractal Design Scape and Galaxy S25 FE reviews - they didn't make it to this list πŸ€”. What's missing? Are there some features or aspects of their design that didn't quite meet expectations?

As a visual thinker, I'd love to see some diagrams or comparisons between the different products - maybe some Venn diagrams or flowcharts to help illustrate what makes each one tick? πŸ’‘
 
The Oakley Meta Vanguard is a solid upgrade to their glasses series πŸ€”. I'm impressed with the improved battery life and speakers - it's a big plus for those who want a seamless experience with their smart glasses. The redesigned camera is also a nice touch, making it easier to capture photos and vids on-the-go. However, I wish they had made more of an effort to fix that jittery hyperlapse clip issue πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Overall, $499 is still a bit steep for me, but if you're invested in the Meta ecosystem, it might be worth the splurge.
 
the meta vanguard is a solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade from basic glasses lol i mean its like they listened to all our complaints about battery life and just made it better 🀯 but i'm still kinda bummed that there isn't more third-party app support it feels like we're stuck in this meta ecosystem with not enough freedom to customize our own experience 🚫
 
OMG u gotta try out da new Oakley Meta Vanguard! 🀯 I mean its already got some amazing features like longer battery life and dope speakers, but now they've also upgraded the camera and added an action button that lets u do more stuff without sayin "Hey Meta" πŸ’₯. Its not perfect tho, like those hyperlapse clips can be a bit wonky πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ, but overall its def worth the $499 price tag! 😎
 
πŸ€” I'm kinda curious about these new glasses from Meta... The Oakley Meta Vanguard seems like a solid choice with its improved battery life and speakers πŸ“šπŸ’». But, 499 bucks is a bit steep for me πŸ’Έ. I'd want to see more third-party app integrations before shelling out that kind of cash πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

On the other hand, the Fractal Design Scape has me intrigued... no review, but it's already getting some buzz πŸ”₯. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it stacks up against the rest ⏰.

One thing I do know is that I need a good VPN πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ, and Private Internet Access seems like a solid choice... even if there's no score mentioned in this snippet πŸ‘€.

Oh, and what's with all these new gadgets from Samsung? The Galaxy S25 FE looks sleek, but not sure if it's worth the hype 😐. Guess we'll just have to wait for more reviews before deciding πŸ’­
 
I was just reading about the new Meta Vanguard glasses and I'm still thinking about how cool it would be to have better battery life on my existing ones lol 🀣 just kidding kinda. seriously tho, 82/100 sounds like a solid score but i wonder if they could've done more with that redesign... i mean, action button is a nice touch though πŸ‘ now i'm curious about the Fractal Design Scape, anyone tried it? πŸ€”
