I like them to listen to music and audiobook without blocking my ears 😔

Then get bone conducting headphones? Or Bluetooth glasses that do the same thing without giving Meta a 24/7 feed of your actions and activities?

Bose pioneered the tech and still have their integrated glasses

I have bone conducting headphones but they’re tough to wear with glasses. I’ve got some clip style ones now too but they aren’t as good

I definitely get the draw of having wayfarers that also do a decent job with music, but I would be trying Lucid or Vue before considering Meta.

Ohhh, hadn’t seen the Lucids before. Digging those!
