Okay I have been following this brand JLab for a few years now. They make good, albeit cheap, earbuds that are feature rich. Other than a snafu with my latest buds (received a lemon, but the company stood by the product and replaced it) I have enjoyed the sound quality and durability they offer. The Jbud Air ANC has been great for the gym.

Regardless of my fan boyism for the company, they recently announced this product: https://trk.klclick.com/ls/click?up...oVKPXwE6yb0RamK-2FeR5sNYR-2B-2FJ6O3NtEA-3D-3D

Do these have any mass appeal? I don’t wear glasses so I’m guessing I’m not a target customer, but I just found these rather odd/niche.
 
I don't see the benefit.

I can wear AirPods Pro, take off/switch my glasses and keep enjoying active noise cancellation without skipping a beat.

Hell, I wear my AirPods Pro (APP) at home without glasses when the landscapers are cranking their leaf blowers outside my unit. If I head out to the pool and the landscapers move there my APP are just as effective.

My Oculus Rift S VR HMD pumps out audio in a similar manner but again there's no active noise cancellation.

Worse, these attachments probably make it difficult to stow your glasses in their normal carrying cases without removing them first. That's way too fussy.
