Ray-Ban Meta Glasses (Renewed)

I ordered these as a novelty. I didn't foresee me wanting to use them as my daily eyewear. I planned to forgo the expensive option of having prescription lenses and simply wear my contacts with them. However, I am so pleased with their ease of use, form factor and versatility that I've sought a solution to retrofitting them with my prescription. The camera, audio and microphone setup make the tech good. The addition of an AI assistant in this form factor make it outstanding. They're also lightweight (given the tech built in) and look stylish. And yet, with all of this, they look and feel ordinary. Call quality and clarity, ease of setup, and reliability of the connection are all top notch, as is build quality and functionality. Really impressed with the leap this wearable has made from simply telling stories to ushering in a new way of life.

I have had these for about a week now. So far, so good. Everything works well. The Meta Ai is getting better and better. The upload time is fast. The upload quality is good. Really good. The videos are 3 minutes at a time... I think its a 32g bank. The battery life is good even playing music the whole time. The case hold about 4 full charges. The glasses are durable so far. Music and sounds are loud. BT connect is good... so far so good.

These are pretty cool. Where I find a good use for them: driving an older car that doesn't support smartphone connectivity. Many states do not allow headphone use while driving, but these are different. There's nothing in the ear or covering the ear. The sound comes from the arms resting *over* the ear. So, you can always hear outside traffic sounds, even while listening to your Waze instructions. The Meta AI assistant is occasionally useful, but don't expect anything more than surface-level responses; i.e., great for quick tasks, not deep analysis. The video and camera feature is also cool, but I don't use it too much.

If recently started wearing sunglasses regularly before getting these and for my line of work, recording in first person can be very practical. Stylistically, they have a great look. And although I have the ai disabled for the sake of "meta not listening to my every move", I'm really a fan of the built in camera, they're way more effective than strapping a GoPro on my forehead. The lenses are good quality and when they're clean, sometimes it feels like I'm not actually wearing the glasses but rather my eyes are just tinted instead. Pairing with your phone has been easy and convenient for transferring clips off the glasses. The only gripe I have is that the charge drains quickly after recording. But I get that you can't expect a large battery in a pair of glasses so I don't let it take away from my overall experience with them (just a note that the case seems to charge the glasses quickly so it can balance out in the right situations). I just wished that different lenses were easier to come by for these glasses.

I really like wearing these glasses for trail riding as I was able to take some awesome videos at Pioneertown.

Works great! Setup was easy. I did not connect it to my facebook because I don't do much social media but it was good to see that this can work just fine independently of facebook. I use it mainly for camera shots, music and the AI feature. I also use it on occassions for presentations as an audio prompter. It works great for that as you're able to play sound through the glasses into your ears without anyone around you hearing or seeing that you're using a prompter. Audio is nice, clear and exactly what I need for both business and casual. One problem I did experience was with the arms of the glasses that goes onto the ear. They have somewhat of a sharp edge to them and will start hurting after about an hour of use, so I resolved this issue by using an arm sleeve which you can get very cheap here on Amazon. I use a prescription with my meta frames. The lab had no problem making the lens and fitting them into the frames.

I’ve had my Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer glasses for a little over a year, and the experience has gone from exciting to extremely frustrating. For the price and the promises made in the marketing, these glasses have not performed anywhere near what I expected. The biggest issue is the battery and charging system. The glasses constantly report “Glasses low” at 80%, which makes no sense and severely limits use. It feels like the battery health has degraded way too fast for a premium device, and the warnings pop up even when the glasses are freshly charged. The performance is inconsistent and unreliable, and it makes the product almost unusable for real-world daily wear. I’ve tried resets, charging in different outlets, updating the firmware — nothing fixes the problem. For a device that cost this much, this level of durability and support is unacceptable. It honestly feels like I received a defective unit right out the box and didn’t know it until months later. I love the idea of Meta smart glasses. I WANT to use them. But right now, they disappoint every single day, and I shouldn’t have to fight a product this hard to make it work. At this point, I’m requesting a replacement pair or a warranty accommodation, because the experience does not match the premium branding. I hope Meta does the right thing and stands behind its customers.

These were given as a Christmas gift and were a big hit. They look great as a Ray-Ban should. Recipient spent entire afternoon happily engaged.

I absolutely love these i should have bought way earlier. I do construction and in my industry we are not aloud to have music playing on radios exc .But they cant say much as there glasses and none else can hear it and im fully aware of my surroundings music is not over powering .I use to not wear glasses at work but with these I will wear them all the time .100% game changer

They are perfect and cheap then the actual ones and they work perfectly but they die fast so keep the Glasses case charged at all times. it's a great present to give to ur loved ones!!

J'adore pouvoir écouter la musique , répondre au appel et prendre des photos tout sa avec les lunettes !c'est cool Le futur !!!🤪

I'm not really a tech guy,... was not a huge fan of Rayban either considering there made in China. These Rayban's however very much impressed me, here is why,..... POSITIVES: 1) Solid build, polarized lenses. 2) Leather Charging case, that holds a charge with led changing lights. 3) Great video recording on the fly up to 3 minutes, exportable to your photos in a flash! 4) Takes great photos with a click of a button! 5) Play's my music with voice commands, but could go louder in my opinion. 6) Answer's my incoming phone calls with voice commands, which is amazing. 7) Ask Meta anything and she will answer,.. super cool. 8) Has touch pause & mute features, touch volume slide commands. NEGATIVES: 1) BATTERY LIFE IS SHORT,... 3+HRS JUST NOT ENOUGH. 2) LED FLASHES WHEN TAKING A PHOTO,... 3) LED CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES DURING VIDEO RECORDING,... MAKES PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU FUNNY EVEN THOUGH THERE SHOULD BE NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN PUBLIC. 4) YOU NEED THE SPECIAL CASE TO CHARGE THE RAYBAN'S,... LOSE THE CASE YOUR SCREWED! SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A USB C PORT BACK UP ON THE GLASSES! REAL DUMB MOVE IN MY OPINION. 5) SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A MINI INSIDE VIEW SCREEN TO VIEW/SEND VIDEOS & SEE/SEND TEXT MESSAGES. SUMMARY: To "Rayban",... Overall I'm going to give you a solid 4/5 stars. These Sunglasses cost me close to $500. Canadian dollars but fell short on many features and could really use more features & battery life. I would recommend buyer's wait for the next generation, as the tech is already in use with other brand Sunglasses. I hope this helps you decide. Take care and stay well. J.O

I like it after seeing lots of review, it's true. They are fun to play with. I really like the speaker and use them as headphones.
