Practically speaking, as a fat guy who sweats from the top of his head a lot, and especially in warmer climates, the idea of having this bulky thing on my head for a large part of the day, is an instant dealbreaker already. I've tried them a couple of times and they just f cking warm my head immediately. Maybe if they built a cooling mechanism that would help.

But then on top of that you add the expensive cost of the headset, the battery issue, the limited mobility, not being able to go to c0rn sites without Meta being all up in my b'ness, etc. etc. etc.

There is like, zero upside to this thing. None. Zilch.

At least the smartphone was easy to adopt en masse cause it combined a music player, mini browser, portability, GPS, game machine and all in a nice portable package that, at worst, just takes up more space in your pants pocket.

But if they can ever invent hardware that doesn't sit on one's head or rest on top of your ears (which also chafes on a hot day), then this thing could really start to get some traction cause much of the friction (figuratively speaking) would be removed. Meta glasses are a step in the right direction but they're not very immersive.
