Although the speakers may be considered to be bone conduction, they are 
actually small speakers themselves. In fact, the volume can be turned up loud 
enough so that others around you can actually hear what you’re listening to, 
compromising any sense of privacy. I don’t believe the qualities is all that 
bad given that they are as small as they are and located where they are. Keep 
in mind that not only do you have voiceover coming through the speakers, since 
we are using voiceover as visually, impaired or blind users, but we also have 
the voice output inherent in the Meta, operating system, as well. In fact, you 
can use both for some of the same function, such as, making calls, sending 
messages, reading messages, and other functions, given that they are actually 
using the phone as a lot of their operating system Back up. Also, keep in mind 
that the glasses were not created for use with people that are blind or 
visually impaired. It is just a very fortunate consequence for those of us that 
are blind or vision impaired, that the glasses do so well, and performing task 
that we need to accomplish, And that they will be able to increase the 
functionality  we needas Meta pays more attention to the fact that they are 
usable by us. That is what’s happening right now in terms of development.
