Speakers in the Ray-Ban Meta glasses definitely are not bone conduction.

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.

Yes, Voice Over works through the speakers builtin on the frame. It's
bone conducting. There's nothing obstructing the ear. Sound is emitted a
little bit forward of your ears from the glasses stems.

I experience a slight lag on my iPhone SE.

I wish it were possible to pan Voice Over. I don't usually care to have
mono sound on both sides of my head when a specific panned position
would suffice. To my thinking that would provide less obstruction to
environmental sound.

Best,
Janina

Well I think from the subject you can guess what I???m gonna ask. When using the Ray-Ban meta-smart glasses does the voiceover output from the iPhone come through the glasses speakers? Can you differentiate whether they do or not? Also, is there an actual lag in the responsiveness of the iPhone when using the smart glasses question or, is it just the experience of a few users? How bad is this lag say for an iPhone 13?
