Best Smart Glasses for open-ear audio quality

#1

The open-ear speakers perform better than expected for casual viewing while preserving awareness of the room.

#2

Bang & Olufsen-tuned open-ear audio is clear, balanced, and better than expected for the form factor. Its main limitation is loud environments, where dedicated earbuds or headphones still win.

#3

Voices, podcasts, and casual music sound surprisingly clear while keeping ears open, though fidelity and immersion remain below good earbuds.

#4

Open-ear playback keeps the wearer aware of the surroundings and works well for casual music, calls, and assistant feedback. It lacks the fullness and isolation of dedicated earbuds.
