Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall a pretty solid product with a nice design. They have good sound quality along with a convenient way to take pictures without having to get your phone out. The batteries last for a decent amount of time but, I would like to see them have a longer battery life.

I really love these glasses because I want to be a content creator but I'm really shy and hate to hold the camera up to my face or towards what I'm looking at which makes it obvious that I'm recording. These give me confidence to walk around and record content without anyone really knowing... almost. There's three downsides to these glasses for me. One being the recording time of 3 minutes max, Its not horrible because you can just start another 3 minutes right after with just a tap, but I'd say 5 minutes would be perfect. The second downside is the battery life, these glasses don't last too long, especially if you're recording at 3 minutes. They will only last about an hr, but at least the case charges fairly quick. And the last downside is the light showing on the glasses to indicate that you're recording. I bought these to be inconspicuous and I've noticed people noticing the light on my camera and they stare trying to figure out what's going on. That almost defeats the whole purpose of me getting the glasses, I don't want people staring at me. I wish there was a way to turn it off, but I still say it's better than holding up my phone to vlog. Most of the downsides have an easy solution, but because of them I have to give the glasses a rating of 4/5.

Glasses worked perfectly! Takes pictures and videos really good & audio works perfectly!

These are actually amazing for what they are. I take these most places I travel because I always had a problem (well... Struggle) with "staying present" while trying to capture the memory. With these, I can: 1. Take pictures 2. Record videos 3. Not miss notifications 4. Get quick updates 5. Ask questions about my surroundings 6. Listen to music or audiobooks All without having to pull out my phone, or airpods, or apple watch to do any of it. I've taken so many more pictures of my family and sights during vacations and even during regular outtings than ever before and I love it! The ONLY reason these aren't getting 5 stars is the fact I didn't get transition lenses AND I feel they should of used the electrochromic lenses instead. I don't want to wait for the UV rays to force the transition and vice versa. I'll add pictures I've taken with the sunglasses

They are great for staying in the moment, no need to pull out a phone, no need to unlock...no need to open an app etc.. .you just put them on, and then click the shutter and snap shots or video. 2nd generation will be better. Only 4ish hours of use time. In hot temps, they did mess up recording video - unit gets too hot. It will warn you on your phone but if you dont know...you dont know.

Really good Sunglass and smart is great. Cam with good quality. missing only live stream.

Connection issues… I’m on my 2nd pair because my first one had connection issues now my second one is okay but I’m lucky my first pairs broke within the first day so I could return still (photo taken from glasses)

My husband loves the sunglasses! Picture and video quality is great, better that iPhone. However don’t put in contact with water, speaker broke, we had them less than a month

Pretty cool glasses. They are a little slow. When you put them on they take 5-10 seconds to start up. And when phone calls come in, if you don’t have them on already it takes about 20 seconds for your phone to find them. That being said, the audio is great, they are really useful and I do enjoy them.

[Employee of bestbuy] I love these so far, keeps your music descreate. You can fully function with it a volume 3 without anyone knowing you're listening to music.

These are really cool you can live stream take really good video and picture. Phone calls are great on it listening to music leaves a little bit to be desired. Met AI is still cool a little and it’s infancy but it’s cool to see where this technology is going. 

I actually love these glasses! The only reason I didn’t give these glasses five stars is because of the amount of noise bleed. Touchpad is super responsive meta-AI is really good and overall the glasses are super stylish I like them.

Love how it has the speakers and camera quality is very good too. Also nobody can tell they have cameras

Works very well video and photo quality are great. Audio quality is good and the mic is better then expected

I like the audio, good implementation of smarts, easy to use, stylish, but for some reason, looking through the plastic lens, it’s not very clear, kinda makes everything a little unclear. I got the transitions so I could wear them all the time.

I've had the glasses for about 2 weeks no, I purchased through Best Buy and was able to submit to my insurance to use some benefits. Used an authorized eye glass center via Rayban to swap out the lenses for prescription transition lenses versus the "extra" cost on the transition Ray Ban meta. So far these have great. Not a lot of people notice it's the AI version and their stylish. I connect these to an iOS device and they connect fairly quickly but swapping between different devices to connect to it runs into issues. The volume is great, compared to my airpods, i find these helpful to still hear my surroundings and be able to listen to music, calls or the AI. It's not as "immersive" as noise cancelling air pod pros but I tend to use these more now than my air pods. As far as the camera, it's great for the photos it captures. Clear enough when lighting is available but under low light it's a hit or miss for video or photos. Audio - recording audio is great, listening audio is great. I'm actually on a phone call and doing this review as i type. AI - AI is helpful, some of the features as far as grabbing info in what's in front of me, live translation and AI live are great. It's finicky here and there and i wouldn't say it's super intuitive - there's a small learning curve. Translation translates everything it picks up - even you talking so you literally have to wait for them to talk in the specific language, then you talk. You have to rely on the app if the other person doesn't have AI glasses to show them YOUR translation to their language - which picks up their communication as well. The fit is great, but I had to get a slim fit nose pads so it doesn't slide down as much. I've worn these for extended hours and it hasn't been uncomfortable. The battery has only gone below 20% once. I tend to take these off here and there to charge in it's case. I've read reviews and can somewhat agree that battery on here IS NOT the best. I'll put them on, phone call, listen to music, take capture a video and i'll be at 80% after an hour or so. These are lightweight, but others have said it's heavy. They don't have a "premium feel" like sturdy so I handle these with caution. Would i recommend, yes but with a disclosure that the next generation releasing or the google version of these may be better if you can wait.

I got a great deal on these (close out/clearance since they're Gen 1) which is why I went with them vs. the Gen 2 (which would have been about 60% more expensive). Value for the money is great, and I would absolutely recommend them. I purchased these right before a vacation so I could use them without having to worry about bringing my phone out all the time. They worked exceptionally well for that - I could sit on a dock and take a picture of the water just by pressing the button on the arm or saying "Hey Meta, take a picture". It was spectacular. It was also fun at Christmas to be able to take pictures of the kids without having my phone out (and distracting). The 12mp sensor gives good quality pictures, but the location of it - on the glasses, attached to a person's head that moves a little, even when it's trying to stay still - means once I got into low light or night pictures things got blurry quickly. But it's not really designed for that, so I can't knock it there. The field of view takes a little getting used to - I took a number of pictures on vacation that didn't quite capture what I thought I was looking at. :) But I got used to it. Same with the delay - I'm used to "press and take", and by design there's a small (less than a second) delay on these (to let folks know you're taking a picture) so I had to work on my timing. But the battery life needs a LOT of work. I got 6 hours just wearing the glasses and doing nothing. That was nice. But once I started taking pictures or listening to music on them (which is REALLY nice) that drops to half or less. I haven't gotten more than 3 hours of what I'd consider "normal" usage out of them yet. BUT, all that being said, for the most part that's fine. I keep the case charged and have it with me, and I rarely need to be active with these for more than 3 hours anyway. Definitely recommended, but if you can get the Gen 2 at a reasonable price that additional battery will save you some frustration.

Clean design, comfortable fit, and surprisingly good audio for glasses. Easy to use, connects smoothly, and battery life holds up for daily use. Smart features feel practical, not gimmicky. Solid purchase and definitely worth it.

They are great for being smart glasses! Nice to have sunglasses that can be transitions or polarized... though one drawback is lack of color choices with polarized. They also are great for audio like listening to music while at work or driving (if you just want to listen to music while no one else does). Now to drawbacks... I had first got a small size and they were way to small on my head and squeezed my head.. I then had gone and boughten the largest size... and even then they still squeezed my head and gave me a headache. This problem had me ending up returning them. Though I did love all the things they offered they didn't work for me becuase of SIZING!

Really cool product overall. Great for hands free photos and videos, and listening to music through them is really solid. The smart features, while gimmicky, I have found to be occasionally helpful. Battery life isn't ideal, but depends on use. Better integration with non-Meta messaging is needed particularly when sending photos.
