Warranty service sucks, they won't stand behind it
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good until the arm just separates from normal usage and you send it for warranty and they tell you it's not covered and it should be as it is within the time frame, then they try to sell you another pair and you have spent hundreds of dollars additional for prescription transitions lens. I was an advocate for the device showing all my friends and colleagues but not anymore, these are more than sunglasses and the company treats them as just some sun glasses. Not cool.

Be careful
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stopped working after 6 months. The worst part was that I wanted the same ones because I had gotten the prescription lenses, and then they tell me that they don’t have them anymore, and another worst part was that I paid extra for the protection

Posted .Hello AndreaA,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, we truly appreciate it. We're really sorry to hear that your experience with the glasses was limited to just 7 days, especially when you were counting on them for your two-month trip. That’s definitely not the kind of experience we aim to provide, and we understand how disappointing that must feel.
We’d love the opportunity to talk this through and explore how we can make things right. Please feel free to reach out to our Support Team via our website, they’re here to help and would be more than happy to look into this with you.

Cool but not functional
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very cool concept but unfortunately if you have a lot of hair on your head the mic gets covered and you can’t talk to them.

Product knowledge
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went to Best Buy, it’s clear that the employees they hire don’t know anything about the product they sell. I asked the guy if these were the bigger glasses he scanned it and said yes these are the bigger 53mm ones… at the time I didn’t think I had to do research seeing as I watched him scan the barcode and looked them up for me. Well I get home and these these were the RW4006(50mm) I needed the RW4008 (53mm)

Posted .Hi there Joe,
We certainly don't want our users to have this experience with their new glasses, no worries we are here to help!
You can either return to Best Buy and request a replacement, or come have a chat with us over at the Meta AI Glasses Help Center so we can try out some troubleshooting with you.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Good but not great.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.About what you would expect. Everything works well, just low quality, as to be expected with the headphones. Transitions do not happen very fast, and they do not get very dark. Camera is cool, but a bit sensitive at times. But again, everything works!

Microphone died in the first 30 days!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the concept of just saying “hey Meta, take a picture”. But the microphone stopped functioning within the first 30 days of use. Went through all the troubleshooting steps including a factory reset and it still doesn’t work. I can still take pictures but not using the “hey Meta” function. The glasses only have one camera versus 3 for example on your iPhone so the focal length is not as good which means when you take a photo and then try to zoom in it doesn’t have the same quality as your phone’s camera. Overall nice concept but the quality is not good considering the price you pay for these. I would not recommend.

Microphone barely picks up your voice
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are pretty cool, but the phone call feature nobody on the other end of the call can hear me, also it barely responds to “Hey Meta” you have to keep repeating yourself or almost yell for it to respond! I don’t like that at all, also they scratch easily.

Posted .Hi there, David! Thanks for reaching out and providing your feedback. We really appreciate it.
There are a few steps we recommend taking in order to hopefully resolve this for you:
- Make sure you are on the latest software and app version (App version needs to be 143 or above)
- Check if the glasses are up to date by navigating to Settings > "Device Name" > Updates
Turn the Microphone Adjustment Toggle to "On"
- Open the Meta View App and navigate to Settings > "Device Name" > Microphone Troubleshooting
- Retest the microphone to see if the issue is fixed
Note: Toggling the Microphone Adjustment Toggle mid-call creates issues with audio quality. You can turn the toggle on and keep it on permanently if it resolves the issue.
If this issue still persists, we highly recommend reaching out to our Support Team so they can work with you more directly and request a few more details to help resolve the microphone issue on your glasses. You can find them on the Meta Quest Help Center on our website and they'll be more than happy to help!

Just a luxury unlike ai apps who do more for cheap
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pointless but fun if yoy got extra cash to spend its a cute cincepts but if you want to use them as perscription otepare to drop double. Its rhe same cost as a trup to mexic for a week so as nice as it sounds i think its an overates luxury. There a cheap ai apps that do way more than meta ai. Its bery basic for the proce you pay.
