I think the biggest problem with these is that they are sunglasses. Getting to live stream watching my kid’s hockey game so my family can watch is awesome… but watching through sunglasses bugs me. With that said I really wish these weren’t limited to Instagram and Facebook. Messenger would be awesome to do video conferencing with or WhatsApp, where I’m not broadcasting to the world and my dad could feel like he is in person during holidays he has to miss every once in a while. So basically, I don’t like it that it doesn’t have more integration with more facebook products and seems to be aimed at social media versus more personal interactions; I also don’t like that they are just sunglasses, but that is quite fixable and I am currently doing that; and I don’t like ... MoreI think the biggest problem with these is that they are sunglasses.

With all that out there…What a difference a generation makes. The glasses and the app. I like the old generation for what they were and as a Bluetooth headset they worked quite well, but these take it to the next level. First, mat black is so much better than shiny black. Second, the case with integrated charging is so much better. Everything is a little bit slimmer and just better designed. The fact that these have live streaming is just amazing.Don’t think that you’ll be sleuthing around taking videos of everyone with no one the wiser as there is an LED on the right side that turns on a varies in intensity so as to attract attention I assume. I like this feature as it adds a level of comfort to everyone around you who might get a little bit… hesitant... around cameras in glasses.Just having them out of the case and on your head drains the battery, with me doing nothing with them on a drive, they lost about 6% in an hour. Once I got to the hockey game and did some recording, they lost about 10% in as many minutes and one live stream even took them even further down, basically if you planning on live streaming plan on a dead battery in 30 min. I would also recommend not downloading photos until you are done or can put them in the case for a bit (which you can upload while they are in the case) Using them just as Bluetooth headsets and taking some pictures every once in a while is how I assume they get the 4 hours. However, I am closer to 2.5 hours in my use, but I did switch the default of one click to a 60 second video versus a picture.The speakers are so much clearer and the music sounds pretty good on them and everyone says I come across crystal clear, except if I put them on my head I almost completely disappear, I found this out when I walked inside while talking and naturally just rose them to the top of my head so I could see more clearly. So that is the main difference is the mics are much more attuned to being on your eyes and don’t work if the glasses are 5” higher.Also, if you haven’t worn for a bit, don’t expect to be able to just whip them out, if it’s been awhile they go into a pretty deep sleep and take 15 or 20 seconds to boot up and connect to your phone and realize they need to be awake.Overall, they look and feel like Rayban quality sunglasses with the added benefit of being able to capture video, camera and voice. And if I could wave my wand and ask for anything it would be the ability to use the live video on messenger or WhatsApp while being able to choose if the speakers could be heard by everyone or just me as well as the mic working for just me or for everyone… the ultimate experience of someone being there that can’t be there.

I can consider myself an owner of one of the first pairs of Ray-Ban's smart sunglasses, but I've never been able to count myself as much of a user of them. While they are stylish and somewhat cool to use they were marred by a variety of flaws. The lenses were non-replaceable, making them either unreasonably expensive or largely useless to anyone who required a prescription. The audio quality was somewhat mediocre. And the quality of the cameras left a lot to be desired. This second generation manages to improve on just about everything about the first attempt - though it admittedly does still have a bit of room for improvement.First up, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the lenses.

And the quality of the cameras left a lot to be desired. This second generation manages to improve on just about everything about the first attempt - though it admittedly does still have a bit of room for improvement.First up, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the lenses. With the original glasses you could only get lenses installed in the factory, and most opticians wouldn't even consider working on them if the originals got damaged or you found yourself wanting to get a prescription made up. The lenses in this version can be replaced, though admittedly you do need to take them into one of their approved partners for this service. The price is fairly reasonable for Ray-Ban branded optics, and while at the moment selection is fairly limited this is something that could realistically be improved over time. I do find myself missing the option for transition lenses, which is what I had with my last pair, but the polarized gradient lenses I got with this one are great sunglasses and offer sterling clarity out in the field.Next up is the frame. Once again, my original pair was pretty good but not perfect. It was a bit bulky and heavy around the temples, which could lead to some discomfort after a while. Additionally the sound produced by the built in directional speakers lacked good bass response, even going by the somewhat lower standards of open-air headphone designs like this. The new pair feels like it's got a much better balance and while tolerances haven't changed much they have changed enough to alleviate the pain that came with prolonged use. And much to my surprise, they sound amazing. Music and speech both come through very clear and there's bass to spare, almost as good as my in-ear headphones. They've also got plenty of volume - perhaps a little too much, in fact. Audio bleed is definitely a thing so if privacy is your goal you may not want to make use of these for calls or listening to your favorite music. But my main use case is biking or going for hikes with my dog, and I find them to be perfect for that. Finally, the cameras. The new cameras they've installed here are significantly improved over the last generation, offering much greater clarity for both video and still images. There's also the new ability to do live streaming. I'll admit that this feature still feels rather odd to me, but it's undeniably cool.I'm still not quite ready to make these my daily glasses - I'd definitely want transition lenses for that as I don't want to have to choose between being able to listen to my invisible earbuds or being that weird guy wandering around a convenience store with dark sunglasses on. But they have managed to fulfill the promise of the originals of being the best smart glasses currently on the market. They're an easy recommendation for me - assuming of course you're willing to pay Ray-Ban prices.

I have the original Ray-Ban Stories and while they are nice there were some shortcomings. The Ray-Ban Meta – Wayfarer offers some improvements. As far as style, they look like Wayfarer’s, but you can tell these are smart glasses due to the camera. Most people you come across will never realize you’re wearing smart glasses unless they get a close look at them or hear you listening to music or talking through them to your phone. The lenses are typical Ray-Ban quality and are great, especially the polarized version that really helps to cut down on glare and reflections.The case is nice and sturdy and includes a battery to charge the glasses without needing to plug them into an outlet. You will get about 8 charges out of the case before it needs to be recharged. The ... MoreI have the original Ray-Ban Stories and while they are nice there were some shortcomings.

The lenses are typical Ray-Ban quality and are great, especially the polarized version that really helps to cut down on glare and reflections.The case is nice and sturdy and includes a battery to charge the glasses without needing to plug them into an outlet. You will get about 8 charges out of the case before it needs to be recharged. The glasses themselves last about 4 hours on a single charge. The frames are sturdy with the charging contact points moved from the hinge to the underside of the nose piece. This didn’t affect wear comfort at all for me. The glasses are kept secure inside the case by a magnet and so is the closure. There is a status light on the front of the case to let you know what’s going on with your glasses. There is 32 GB of memory so you can store about 500 photos or about 50 videos on the glasses.So, let’s get into use of the glasses. Flip the switch on the left earpiece to turn them on. There is a small status light on the right side of the frame that faces towards you so you can see it while wearing them. When you put the glasses on it senses that you just put them on your face and the glasses tell you its battery level. It can even sense when you flip the glasses up on your head and pull them back down over your eyes. They are easy to pair with your phone and they include a microphone for giving commands or speaking on calls. Just say “Hey Meta” and give your command after the glasses let you know they are listening. You can’t control 3rd party apps on your phone, but you can control the phone itself to send calls and messages, take a picture or video, check on the battery status, get the time and date, control media playback and volume, take and send a picture to a contact on your phone, and a few other things. You can also link to some services, like Spotify. There is button on the right earpiece to control the camera for pictures and video as well as a touch panel where you can slide your finger in different directions to control things like volume, and to pause media.The speakers work well and because they are so close to your ears you don’t need to turn them up too loud. When listening to music they give a great 3D spatial feeling as if you are surrounded by the music. There isn’t a lot of bass here, but they also don’t sound tinny or flat. Just a nice overall sound. Sound quality while on calls is equally good and the microphone does a good job picking up your voice and it sounds clear on the other end. The camera is slightly improved at 12 MP and you can now record video clips for up to 60 seconds. To access the pictures and video you take you just need to open the app on your phone. The media is still squarish, but the quality is good. I would very much prefer pictures and video to be recorded in a 16x9 format.Overall, a nice improvement to the Stories and easy to recommend if you’re in the market for smart glasses.

These Smart glasses attracted my attention when they were first announced. Ray-Ban Stories were the first generation and I liked those but used them mostly as just sun glasses. Now when Meta has partnered with Ray-Ban to make the second gen and announced all the new improvements they did to the product, I decided to give them another try and was able to get Ray-Ban Meta - Wayfarer (Standard) Smart with Bluetooth Audio. Here are my experiences with these glasses:First of all, they are comfortable, its design is trendy and they look exactly like any regular Ray-Bans in this category. They are not chunky and its weight is simply perfect, even though they house, two cameras, microphones, speakers and a processing unit, etc.Image and Video quality is excellent for a ... MoreThese Smart glasses attracted my attention when they were first announced.

They are not chunky and its weight is simply perfect, even though they house, two cameras, microphones, speakers and a processing unit, etc.Image and Video quality is excellent for a pair of sunglasses and I was very impressed how pictures turn out when transferred to my phone. The shutter button is conveniently located on top of the right arm, however thanks to the embedded AI Assistant, yes these Smart Glasses feature a full-fledged AI helper to answer your questions. So if you need to take a picture or a video, you simple say: "Hey Meta, take a picture" and just like that you are shooting a 12MP picture.This Smart Glasses are definitely great for the first person photo and video. Now, just make sure you do not wear a baseball hat like I did, a mistake you will see later in your pictures.Now, let's talk about the Audio quality. Speakers on these glasses rock! I mean, the sound is pure, crisp and sound like a good pair of headphones. What's amazing is there is nothing poking in your ears, the sound flows out of the glasses and surrounds you in a way. Also, unlike the first gen these smart glasses do not leak the sound everywhere so the people around you can hear everything. At 50% volume, you are enjoying your music, not your friends or family who are with you at the moment.I really like taking calls with these Smart Glasses, use them for biking and listening to my favorite playlists and podcasts.Now, since there is no display inside or on your lenses, I am still hoping for Google like glasses some day in the future, as a lot of your requests and conversations with the AI Meta Assistant will rely on the Audio feedback. I found the answers were right on and are very a matter of fact. You can choose a number of different voices to your liking. Of course the glasses rely on your phone's data or internet connection to answer your questions.Overall, I am very pleased and surprised by these glasses. They are definitely going to be used a lot and I look forward to new gen of AI Smart glasses next year!
The new Ray-Bay Meta glasses are not too heavy and have the benefit of the classic Wayfarer aesthetic. The camera quality is surprisingly good, even in darker settings. Even when not used for the camera, the audio is solid and quite passable. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a replacement for a good pair of earbuds, but the convenience factor is unparalleled. It functions as a quick camera, Bluetooth headset, and sunglasses. It's hard to beat, frankly.The Ray-Ban Meta glasses require the Meta View app on the Play Store/App Store to get their full functionality. It allows you to transfer the photos/videos you've taken from the glasses as well as change settings and setup options such as voice assistants.

It allows you to transfer the photos/videos you've taken from the glasses as well as change settings and setup options such as voice assistants. It also has integration with specific apps like Spotify, when set up it allows you to hold the media button (the side of the glasses) and it will recommend a song and begin playing (essentially an immediate smart shuffle, current Spotify users will know what I'm referring to).The only downside I have found is the battery life is not the greatest, roughly four hours of use. This appears to be the trade-off for the frame being much lighter than other smart glasses (of course still noticeably heavier than sunglasses by themselves). I did end up exchanging these glasses for the polarized version as these transition glasses do not work in a car. Something along the lines of, "The windshield blocks UV light so the glasses will not respond to the sunlight and revert back to clear". That's more of a lens "issue" rather than an issue with the glasses themselves, however. I would recommend these glasses in general if you like slick gadgets that don't scream tech nerd too heavily.
I have the Ray-Ban Stories sunglasses and this new Meta version fits so much better! I have a slightly above average head size and the Stories sunglasses fit tight on my temples. The Meta sunglasses fit comfortably and does not fall off. I also love the case of the Meta sunglasses it comes with because it looks similar to the regular brown Ray-Ban sunglasses, so look-wise it’s a thumbs up! Right off the box, the sunglasses is easy enough to set up. I had a little trouble connecting it with my bluetooth but it’s due to me not having the bluetooth to begin with so I had to long pressed the case to make discoverable and once my iPhone saw, connection was pretty quick. The accompanying app helped with the set up with easy to follow directions. My music app somehow ... MoreI have the Ray-Ban Stories sunglasses and this new Meta version fits so much better!

The accompanying app helped with the set up with easy to follow directions. My music app somehow connected automatically and I was able to control the volume along the temple. The sound coming from the speakers is amazing! I’m not an audiophile though so your mileage may vary. For me the sound passed my qualifications. As for the camera and video quality, I did not expect much as I know it will not compare to the photo quality of my phone but for streaming and taking random snapshots, the sunglasses produces decent quality photos and videos. Comparing again with the previous version Stories sunglasses, the Meta is definitely better quality. It takes nice photos outdoors when the sun is shining bright, so this sunglasses is perfect to use for beach days and just strolling at the park on sunny days. Overall, I love this new version and I recommended this sunglasses to my friends.
In the box is the smart glasses, a charging case, USB-C charging cord, a lens cleansing cloth and warranty/quick start guide.First Impression - Compared to my previous wayfarer smart glasses, the product box was way simpler, which made it less fancy. I do like the redesign of the charging case and how the glasses actually charge. No longer do they charge from the temple but they charge from the bridge of your nose which makes charger easier to seat. Previously, you had to pay attention to how the glasses fit in the charging case because if not seated properly, they would not charge.Comfort - The comfort is good, they are the normal traditional RayBan cut, so they are still comfortable. The arms are thinner than the original wayfarers, so that helps as well.

The arms are thinner than the original wayfarers, so that helps as well. The hinges are a thicker metal hinge, so they feel a lot stronger/sturdier.Functionality - The app has been updated/changed and is now called Meta and you can use this app for the old wayfarers and this new pair of smart glasses. You still have the on and off button on the inside of the left arm. The capture button is on the right arm on the top; Quick press for pictures, long press for video. Volume, up and down/track skip and reverse/start and stop, is a touch button on the outside of the right arm. (This function is available when you sign into Spotify in the app.) Google assistant is included and it reads you your messages from all different platforms, reads your calendar with the press of a button on the right side arm of the smart glasses. You can also talk to the glasses and tell google assistant what action you want to take. Another feature I noticed, if you listening to music and you can’t hear, you can cup you ear with your hand and the music will be louder. The audio capture is lot better and the video and photo is about the same; they were both already pretty good, so no need for much improvement there. The calling and receiving calls was already great and it is still great on these smart glasses.Right now, I am learning more and more about this pair of smart glasses and I am definitely loving the upgrades and updates. So far, no cons - I forgot to mention that the case has a charge light on the front, so if you have another pair of RayBans with the time color case, you should be able to tell which case goes with which pair of sunglasses. Also, there is a USB-C port on the bottom.Overall, so far, this upgrade is a five out of five and I would highly recommend to friends and family.
The new Ray-Bay Meta glasses are not too heavy and have the benefit of the classic Wayfarer aesthetic. The camera quality is surprisingly good, even in darker settings. Even when not used for the camera, the audio is solid and quite passable. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a replacement for a good pair of earbuds, but the convenience factor is unparalleled. It functions as a quick camera, Bluetooth headset, and sunglasses. It's hard to beat, frankly.The Ray-Ban Meta glasses require the Meta View app on the Play Store/App Store to get their full functionality. It allows you to transfer the photos/videos you've taken from the glasses as well as change settings and setup options such as voice assistants. It also has integration with specific apps like Spotify, ... MoreThe new Ray-Bay Meta glasses are not too heavy and have the benefit of the classic Wayfarer aesthetic.

It allows you to transfer the photos/videos you've taken from the glasses as well as change settings and setup options such as voice assistants. It also has integration with specific apps like Spotify, when set up it allows you to hold the media button (the side of the glasses) and it will recommend a song and begin playing (essentially an immediate smart shuffle, current Spotify users will know what I'm referring to).The only downside I have found is the battery life is not the greatest, roughly four hours of use. This appears to be the trade-off for the frame being much lighter than other smart glasses (of course still noticeably heavier than sunglasses by themselves). I switched to this pair from the transition version, and I am very happy. The polarized lenses also help prevent glare from light sources. I will say, the frames are on the larger end if you have a small face. These non-transition sunglasses will help mask that fact as it's more difficult to see where the lens starts and begins. However, I would definitely recommend that you try them on in-store if you are able to, just to see if they would fit your face properly.
I like Reviewing Everything I use and when the Ray Ban Stories first came out, I got them because I enjoy taking pictures as well as videos, and for the most part I post them for my family and friends to see. And now that the second generation came out I had to try them and they are superior to the first generation, they are amazing and much better than anything out there.First they come well packaged, they come with the charging case, glasses, cleaning cloth, instructions and a very useful application; they do not come with a cable or a charging adapter, on the other hand I have plenty of USB C cables so I do not need another one.The instructions for setup are very simple, download the app, charge the case and follow the instructions that walk you step by step ... MoreI like Reviewing Everything I use and when the Ray Ban Stories first came out, I got them because I enjoy taking pictures as well as videos, and for the most part I post them for my family and friends to see.

The pictures using the 12 megapixel camera takes photos of 4032 x 3024 px, and videos of 1920 x 1440 px @ 30Fps and finally the sound is amazing because when I play back the videos I can hear the amazing sounds from all over because the glasses have five microphones.And speaking of sound, as a triathlete and marathoner I can hear to music while I am aware of my surroundings while I am doing most activities and the music sounds great, much better than the previous version, it still does not compare to earbuds because they are not in my ears but I am really enjoying my glasses because these sunglasses not only do they have great sound, they offer a lot more.The glasses connect via Bluetooth 5.3 or Wi-Fi 2.4-5 Ghz.One thing to enjoy the most is the Meta AI, all I have to say is “Hey Meta” and I can either take a picture, video or ask anything I want like the weather or air quality.The glasses have a touch pad on the right, it is not visible but when I want to put the volume up/down, pause, play, play music from Spotify and more I can do it with a soft touch to the glasses, just awesome.Streaming, is easy, I can start live streaming with my phone, switch back and forth with the glasses it comes out fantastic.To take a picture there is a button that all I have to do is touch once and there is a picture, and the glasses have an led to let me know it took the picture, long press the button and it will take a minute of video while I can see it is recording it also lets others know I am recording because there is an LED light to show that I am doing so.Overall these glasses from Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer are amazing, not only do they look cool, elegant and fantastic, I can listen to music or anything I want to listen to while hiking, running, or just bring them with me to take pictures, videos or even live stream. I can also hear my messages and send them back by using Meta’s AI, also by using Meta’s assistant I have access to get information just using my voice.

Moreover, the livestreaming option allows you to continuously stream until your battery runs dry. Capturing photos and videos is a breeze, thanks to the intuitive button on the right side of the glasses or voice commands. However, it's worth noting that there is a slight delay when taking photos.One common concern with smart glasses is privacy, but Ray-Ban has addressed this by incorporating an LED indicator that flashes when recording or taking photos. Although the LED is quite bright, it might go unnoticed by most people in public settings.One pleasant surprise with these glasses is the audio quality. Despite the speakers being positioned above your ears rather than inside, akin to traditional headphones, the audio remains crystal clear. You can conveniently adjust the volume by swiping up and down along the right side of the glasses.Considering that the standard Ray-Ban polarized Wayfarer sunglasses are priced at $220, the Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses are a surprisingly reasonable upgrade, with only an additional $80, totaling $300. This makes them an attractive option for those looking to combine fashion and tech seamlessly.
