    They marketed the headset as being able to replace the functions of basically everything an average person uses a laptop/pc, cellphone, and tv for.

    People routinely use computers and tvs for many hours at a time.

    People routinely spend hours on their phone and basically always have them in their pocket or nearby.

    They showed people wearing the things in planes, to watch 2-3 hour movies.

    Sitting down in their (strangely TV-less) living rooms to watch 2-3 hour movies.

    Doing … some kind of work you’d do on a laptop, but easily being able to keep the things on, kick a ball around with your kid, and then seamlessly go back to working.

    Wearing the headset as you are unpacking at a hotel, and then taking a video phone call with them.

    Not the thing ringing, you putting the headset on, and then taking a call.

    No, you’re just already wearing the headset, having just arrived in a hotel, implying you just had them on as you took your luggage up to your motel, like a hat.

    Taken as a montage, you certainly get the impression that you’re encouraged to just wear the thing all the time, anywhere, that its an ‘all-device’ that replaces a whole bunch of other devices, and is easily used/worn in many settings for long periods of time.
