People have complimented the frames a few times. Nobody has said “oh, are those AI glasses?” until I tell them. Perfect. That’s exactly the level of tech visibility I want at 35.

Super lightweight and loud! These are so fun

I work in advertising. For some reason my best ideas never happen when I’m sitting nicely in front of a document. They happen walking to lunch or driving home. Being able to capture something without stopping to type has been really useful.

First of all - I don't care about the AI, at all. I am very much anti-AI and I bought these to replace my Meta Oakleys. I don't always need cameras on my face and public perception of the Meta glasses seems to have gone very downhill. I am ONLY interested in the audio playback and recording capabilities with a long battery. I hope companies realize that if they position their marketing of no-camera smart glasses much less about AI and much more about privacy they will likely see much more sales from people like myself.
These have MUCH better battery life - only went down from 100% to 90% in an hour and a half. They weigh like almost nothing, and look great. You wouldn't even be able to tell these have smart functionalities at first glance.
The audio *is* pretty quiet compared to the Metas - but it's still very functional.
Unlike a lot of other manufacturers, their prescription lenses are extremely cheap, with the coupon code you get in the box I got Transition lenses for only $100(!).
Another important and very good thing about these is its reliability. The arms as much as I can tell are independent and not physically conmected to each other - I have broken at least four pairs of Meta glasses because the right arm snapped off, and I highly doubt this will be a problem here.

The audio was one of the first features that felt natural to me. The comfort level has been a nice surprise.
T
The sound feature comes across as daily-use tech, not future-tech. The frame feels balanced rather than front-heavy. The recording feature is easy to use without thinking about it much.
B
I like having audio in the frame so I don't need another device. Transcription is one of the smarter features here. Gesture controls would be a nice addition.
S
I use the built-in speakers a lot more than I expected. The AI tools are a nice extra.
T
The speaker setup doesn't ask much of me, which I appreciate.
W
I like the way the smart features stay in the background. For short listening sessions, I like having sound right in the frame.
M
The speakers get more use than I expected. The battery has been easy to manage.
J
I can wear them without constantly noticing the hardware. The speakers are convenient for how I actually use these.
J
The audio is easy to use and doesn't make the glasses feel bulky. The settings are laid out pretty clearly. The battery setup is straightforward.
C
The speakers feel second nature to me now.

A surprisingly sensible approach to smart glasses. I've been into tech for a long time, and honestly, most new gadgets don't get me particularly excited anymore. There's usually a lot of marketing around features that end up being used once or twice. That's part of what interested me about the Jobs Circle. The whole concept feels a bit more practical.
First off, I really like the design. The round frames have a classic look, and the titanium construction is a nice touch. I appreciate that Dymesty didn't try to make these look like something out of a sci-fi movie. At this point in my life, I'd rather have something that looks good with a button-down shirt than something that screams "tech enthusiast."
The open-ear audio is probably one of my favorite aspects of the design. I like the idea of being able to listen to something without completely shutting out my surroundings. The recording and transcription features also make a lot of sense for someone who spends a fair amount of time in meetings. Those are the kinds of AI features I actually care about.
One other thing worth mentioning is the lack of a camera. Personally, I consider that a plus. I don't need a camera attached to my face, and I'm glad they focused on audio and productivity instead.
I wouldn't expect these to replace a proper set of headphones, and AI-generated notes are still something I'd double-check. But I appreciate the direction Dymesty has taken here. It's a relatively restrained piece of technology that focuses on being useful rather than trying to do everything. Sometimes that's exactly what I want from a new gadget.

Spoiler: I never remember it later. Now I just say the idea when I have it. I’ve already recovered a couple thoughts I definitely would’ve forgotten before.

My wife has hated basically every pair of “tech” glasses I’ve shown her. She likes these. Take that however you want, but for me that settled the design question pretty quickly.
S
I basically use the same three things over and over. Recording, voice stuff, old notes. I’d love to pin those somewhere and ignore everything else. The glasses themselves are great.
K
I thought I’d mostly use them for meetings. Turns out I use voice notes more. I’ll say an idea out loud, forget about it, and deal with it when I’m back at my desk. That fits my brain better than typing into Notes.

Sounds shallow until you wear glasses literally every waking hour. A phone can go in your pocket. Glasses are sitting in the middle of your face. Design matters.
A
That’s the funny part. I own plenty of gadgets with more features. They sit in drawers. These are on my face because I need glasses anyway, so I end up using the smart features naturally.
S
I do consulting work and spend a lot of time in conference rooms. Putting a recorder on the table always feels a little formal. Wearing my normal-looking glasses doesn’t. That difference matters more than I expected.
