something that even low-end ANC earphones are doing
Because God forbid you take the fucking earbuds out of your head when talking to someone.

Meta's finances must be in the shitter to be enshittifying a premium product.

Finding ways to make an awful product even worse.
I got a pair of meta glasses for free...

Good. Enshittification of the panopticon goggles.
Man I can't wait to see the first rube that pays 20$ a month for me to completely dismiss their existence.
good! why is anyone using these anyway?
People already pay these fees for everything from heated seats in their cars to online storage because their locked down garbage mobile OSes won't let them mount remote directories directly to their file system.
People are terrible at technological freedom and worse at tolerating even minor inconveniences to secure any kind of rights. This shouldn't even be SLIGHTLY surprising to someone in 2026. We're reaching the point where someone is going to make breathable air a monthly subscription fee.

people who vouched with their money for these asshole companies seriously had it coming. they are the lords of enshittification
Maybe they can occasionally block your view with ads to unlock this feature...
I love the idea behind this tech and it seems one of the more useful tech evolutions, but I'm aware this is a privacy nightmare...
I see regulation coming for these things very soon. Most people hate them.
Yay! Another reason not to buy them!
Fully support Meta killing this awful product.
The cracks are showing. There's only so much investor money.
That means by simply connecting them to the internet you're generating around $20/month for Meta. Now how would they do that? :)
Y'all still think things are priced according to how much it costs to produce or deliver them?
Idk, if it's offline it sure seems like meta can't sell data from it so that's costing them.
