The headset relies way too much on Siri. I’ve lived through too many years of that nonsense on phones and homepods to suddenly drop $3,500 for an early adopter toy that features siri front and center. Apple needs to get AI right, quickly.

One thing I missed was hearing from Johny Srouji and his beautifully spoken Apple silicon details. Maybe next time.
