Put the Goggles’ triggered ability on the stack and, when it resolves, it will put a copy of the spell that was cast using that mana (in this case Reverberate) onto the stack; a copy of a spell is put onto the stack and isn’t cast .
Step 5
As Goggles’ text allows choosing new targets for the copy, when the copy of Reverberate is created you may choose new targets for that copy (the copy’s target choice is locked in as it’s put on the stack) .
Step 6
The original Reverberate and the Goggles-created copy of Reverberate will be on the stack in proper order; when either Reverberate resolves it will copy its chosen target instant or sorcery spell and you may choose new targets for the copy created by Reverberate’s effect .
Resolution
If you use the produced by Pyromancer's Goggles to pay any part of Reverberate’s cost, Goggles’ “When that mana is spent … copy that spell” ability triggers for Reverberate and, when that triggered ability resolves, it puts a copy of Reverberate onto the stack. That copy is a spell on the stack that was not cast , and when the Goggles’ copy is created you may choose new targets for that copy as the Goggles ability instructs . When a Reverberate (original or a copy) resolves, it copies its chosen target instant or sorcery spell and then you may choose new targets for the copy created by Reverberate’s effect . Also note the specific official ruling: any red instant or sorcery spell you spent the Goggles mana on will be copied, not only ones that require targets [Ruling 2024-11-08].
