Enjoying the Ray-Ban. Husband really likes them and got me apair.

I am on my 3rd pair already, I have to keep returning to the store because after a week. The case from the glasses fails to charge the glasses. Save your money and look for a better alternative.

Cool new ray ban smart glasses take photos and videos and listen to Spotify right from my shades

just as described, really amazing pair of sunglasses!

Fucntions as expected though not suitable for all-day use.

Nice toy for insta-stories. Useless for any other activities. Absolutely useless for any extreme activities. Weak battery.(25-30 minutes video) You will make only one minute video.

These look like a regular pair of stylish Ray-Ban sunglasses but they are a great handsfree companion. They have a quality feel right out of the box. The eyeglass case is stylish and securely holds them in place. I really like that the eyeglasses can be charged while in the case. When they are clipped in for charging they can be a little difficult to remove but a little wiggling gets them out with not much of an issue. I used have been using them for about a half a day over 2 days and the battery life is still above 90%. There are only two physical buttons which makes them very easy to use. The power button is on the left side of one of the arms and a read dot lets you know if they are on or off. They go into a power saving mode and automatically turn back in if you leave the switch on which is super convenient. Once you download the mobile app, all you need to do is either login to your Meta account or create a new one. The software immediately detected the product and downloaded a firmware update. Sound quality is great and the volume is adjusted by swiping the outside of the left arm and there is not a visible control switch. Taking call is easy and they can be answered or ended by a quick tap where the volume control is located. Taking calls outside with traffic and wind was clear and I was easily heard. The camera lens and mic is barley noticeable on the top corner of ear eyepiece. Pictures are easy as tapping a button on the top of the right arm and a video, up to 60 seconds, can be started by holding the same button in for a few seconds. There is an ample 32gb of onboard storage and pictures and videos can be set to automatically import to you phone gallery. You also have the option to stream directly to Facebook if desired. It looks you can have a Meta account separately of Facebook and both can be linked for the streaming function. The picture and video quality looks as good as what you get from a latest smartphone. You can also say "Hey Meta" and basically ask about any question you would through any other search engine. As sunglasses, they work as great sunglasses and the have the stylish Ray-Ban icons. I have small framed face and the fit super well and very comfortable. I'm interested in having the sunglass lens replaced with prescription lens I like them so much. I believe these will be next generation of smart products and I can see them becoming a staple of connecting devices.

Just not ready for prime time. The glasses are fine. But, the speakers are terrible. Meta AI is a joke. It can’t handle the simplest request, it constantly gets confused and answers one question back, it often ignores you, and overall it’s difficult and frustrating to use. The pics are okay but often blurry. Overall the idea is great but the implementation is very poor. I would not recommend this product. Maybe in 2 generations it will deliver what is promised but for now it feels like a developer test product with a lot of defects not resolved.

It has no real use the virtual assistant isn't very advanced and has issues comprehending simple questions. I'm going to return this and wait a few years before I get smart glasses again. I love what the technology is going. I just don't think it's at a point where it has a real use case, at least for me

Was not awesome the charging was not good and couldn't hear on phone calls

Got them and wanted 2 like them only down fall mic placement make sure 2 get a bigger size or try them in in store

I tried these out for a week and brought them back. The technology is not quite there give it another year or so.

These Meta Headliner glasses are very nice. If I had any complaint about them, it's that if you listen to music with them, you might notice the bass is weak/missing. However, considering they do not go into your ears, the sound is surprisingly good otherwise (volume control is easy with the touch pad). They come with a charging case (USB-C) which looks just like any other traditional eyeglass case, not much bigger) that you can carry in your pocket. The pairing button is on the case. When I paired them, it said to check of a code matched the code on my glasses, unfortunately I did not know where to look for that so I just accepted it. Note that there was an error connecting to the temporary Wi-Fi network on the glasses when I first tried, but rebooting the phone seemed to fix that message. They Meta AI feature is impressive, that's not even a strong enough word for how amazing it is. As an example, there was a picture of a bee on my phone, I asked what kind of insect I'm looking at and it got it right. I later, looked at the TV when History channel was on, and asked it what was on the TV and it said "a show or documentary about Poland" which was right. Later, an auto insurance commercial was on and I asked it what kind of commercial it was and it said it appeared to be for auto insurance. These examples were just in my living room where I was first testing it. In each of these examples, I prefaced my prompt with "Hey meta, look and" which enables it to take a snapshot and look before answering. You can also ask it questions without having it look like you might any other AI, fortunately it seems to keep its answers fairly short (great, because it's talking in your ear, not like a screen where you can just skim what you want from the text). Unfortunately, I can't test these too extensively in the wild yet because I don't have prescription lenses in them. While they are intended to be used as Sunglasses, there is fortunately an option to install prescription lenses in them. I plan to do that at my regular eyeglass store if they support it, I know they carry Ray Ban glasses there. My intention is to install transition lenses so that I could potentially use them indoors or outdoors somewhat regularly. You take photos and video with the capture button (quick press = photo, long hold=capture video). Photos came out clear, though I'm sure some reviewers might be more picky about the resolution than I am. It will now be really easy not to miss a great photo opportunity - I won't have to dig in my pocket for a phone or open a photo app. When you record video, a light comes on to indicate that you are recording. Someone in the family joked that I should just put a piece of tape over the light (like black electrical tape). I don't recommend doing this, though, it's usually a good (legal) idea to let people know they're being recorded. The HD quality video it recorded though was impressive, and the sound on the recording sounded clear (my voice sounded better to me in the recording than I sound to myself in my ears when I talk). I allowed it to make phone calls, and tried it out. The person on the other end of the phone said I was clear, and the call sounded as clear as if I were holding a land line to my ear. Answering and hanging up is with a double tap, or you can (for example) say "Hey Meta, Answer". It could even send texts, "Hey Meta, Send message to [name] [message]" and it responds confirming the contact name and message content before sending. The recipient confirmed they received the message. None of the AI systems out there may be perfected yet (and may never be), but this is a very cool toy to play with and if you can afford it and normally wear glasses, these make wearing them fun. I intend to use them regularly once I get prescription lenses, and would recommend them to others.

When the Ray Ban Stories first came out I was amazed with the technology in the glasses and with Meta`s second generation here they have only expanded on that technology in ways that this may potentially be the next big thing that everyone "must have." First right out of the box these sunglasses are exactly what you would expect from a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses as the look, feel, and fit are all top notch. By collaborating with Ray Ban I feel Meta has definitely made a great decision as there is a reason Ray Ban sunglasses are some of the most sold. The other major thing to note here is the vast improvement in the case as previously it was more of a blocky case whereas now the new case looks nearly identical to your traditional leather Ray Ban case. The led indicator on the outside where the clasp goes is also a nice subtle touch. Moving onto the actual usability there is definitely a lot to unpack here. First, pairing the glasses to your phone is absolutely seamless with the sue of the Meta View app. Here you can tell Meta specializes in smartphone apps as this app is so easy to use. Also, one thing to mention is battery life as these made it through multiple hours of use and I did not have to charge the case at all throughout the week. Next was looking at how easy it would be to use these and to start off I started with the audio component and listened to a variety of songs to which the sound is definitely an upgrade from the prior version and I will say even with the improved sound there is very little, if any, leakage in sound for others to hear. Supposedly the touch pad on the side of the glasses is larger this time around and I can say I did not have any issues using any of the touch controls when using them for play feedback whereas in the previous version it did occur occasionally where I would go to turn up or down the volume and it wouldn`t register so a definite upgrade again here. Moving onto the actual camera/video component of these glasses I was thoroughly impressed with the improvements as yea it may not be as good as your $1,000 smartphone camera, but the differences are negligible. The video component is where these really shine though as it is exceptional! My biggest concern for wearable cameras is the stabilization component and Meta has done a great job here as it is barely noticeable with the video not bobbing around all over as you film. Also, the transition from lighting situations (outside to inside of a building) is seamless as there is no adjustment/focus period here. The microphone for filming is also exceptional as this time around they have used five microphones where when filming it films in spatial audio to which when you play the video back you can actually here the various sounds occurring in different areas when you captured the video. In regard to the microphones with two of them being on the nose piece it is naturally closer to your mouth so when talking it is crystal clear. The last item I have to mention is the voice assistant / AI. This allows you to simply speak and tell the glasses to take a picture or start a video to which this feature worked seamlessly. It also allows you to ask more simple questions in my experience and even creates automated captions for you as well. The feature I really hope they deliver on is that they promised a feature where you can look at something and ask a specific question pertaining to that item and it will answer accordingly. Again, this may be one of those pie in the sky ideas, but my hope is still intact. Overall, with the breadth of advancements from the first generation I again come away thoroughly impressed as I was with the previous product. Everyone scoffed at Bluetooth headphones and smart watches when they first came out, but nowadays they are evident everywhere to which I believe this may be that next true "must have" item. I feel that virtual reality may be too far off in the future, but Meta`s advances in virtual reality are evident here in a more inconspicuous way.

Too much pressure on head and don’t wrap around ears like normal ray bans
