Smart Glasses Recommendations around $50 - testing the waters

I’ve been curious about smart glasses for a while, but I’m not ready to jump straight into something expensive like Meta glasses if I end up barely using them and they just sit in a drawer.

I’m mainly looking for something around the $50 price point (preferably on Amazon just because returns are easy) so I can experiment a little and figure out if this is actually something I’d use regularly.

Things I’d want to test:
recording video
taking pictures/snaps
listening to music instead of always using my AirPods
taking calls
seeing if I actually remember to wear them consistently

I’ve seen people mention HeyCyan products, and I’ve also noticed a bunch of random options on Amazon in that same price range, but it’s hard to tell what’s actually decent versus total junk.

Video/photo capability is probably the biggest thing I want to play around with, and decent battery life would be a huge plus.

Has anyone tried any solid “starter” smart glasses in that $50-ish range that are worth checking out? Or is everything at that price point basically a waste and I should just save up for something better?
