I have a theory that we will soon be listening to audio through sunglasses or glasses. I believe audio is the first truly useful consumer avenue for mass AI adoption, especially if coupled with multi-modal capabilities.
I own AirPods and wired headphones, but I stopped using them completely once I got a pair of Meta Ray-Bans.
If Meta is smart, they will reduce the price significantly, similar to how Amazon made Alexa devices (which have mostly been a failure, but that's a different topic for another time) more affordable.
This gives them a path to creating the first mainstream AI device. Their hand may be forced by what Jony Ive and Sam Altman are developing.
In the meantime, I'll continue my daily walks, listening to podcasts and music through my glasses, which is a very enjoyable experience. My ears aren't sore afterward, unlike when I use my headphones.
