    About two weeks ago, I purchased two pair of the meta glasses from Best Buy. I waited patiently for them to come in the mail, due to wanting a clear lens that was not available in the store. Once I was able to set the meta glasses up to my phone if I didn't have to take them off, I wouldn't they do everything that out to possibly have dreamed of using them for, while I'm grocery shopping, I can listen to music, at my daughters music recital I was able to record hands-free, get information of places and things around me, I also ca Cantab to answer phone calls. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and I look forward to purchasing more items from Best Buy.

    The Metas are the Swiss Army knife of electronics. Camera, glasses and bluetooth speakers all in one. None of the features are the best but they all work good enough and convenient. Prescription lenses make it so you have a camera and bluetooth speaker (you can also take calls on them) with you at all times.

    The audio quality is impressive, and the glasses are compatible with a range of devices, including iPhones and Android phones. They also feature UVA/UVB protection, making them practical for outdoor use. However, the battery life could be better, as it lasts around 4 hours on a single charge, though the case extends it to 36 hours. Overall, the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses are a great choice for those looking to integrate smart technology into their daily lives without compromising on style.

    These Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers are awesome — stylish, comfortable, and packed with useful features. I wore them to a bluegrass festival and fishing trip, and captured amazing hands-free photos and videos. The sound quality is great for music and calls, and the voice control makes everything easy. A perfect mix of fashion and tech. Highly recommend!

    Nice glasses, although very easily scratches on the frame, the camera quality is good, you can only record up to 3 minute clips, you can only go live on face book or instagram. The battery life is not too good, very disappointed on that. Other than that its a nice thing to have to capture 3 minute long memories lol.

    Stylish smart glasses with good photo and video quality. Meta AI works well for voice commands and translations. Battery lasts around 3 hours. Audio is okay but not great for music. Requires Meta account. Some privacy concerns due to small recording light.

    Classic styling, fun functionality. The picture and video quality is ok and the Meta AI features are limited but there's fun to be had capturing moments in first person. This gen 2 version of Rayban smart glasses shows that they are making improvements and that future versions might be game changing.

    These are so cool. I use them to record my photo sessions and also when I work out. I was surprised by the speaker quality as I had simply bought them for the photo/video quality. It’s nice to have “headphones” I don’t have to put in my ears. The “Hey Meta” function works nicely too. The only issue you may run into is if you have long hair you’ll need to pin it back or tuck it behind your ears because it gets in the way when you’re trying to record.

    I bought these as a birthday gift for myself and I love them. For a pair of glasses the picture quality is pretty good. I wear them to the gym and the battery lasts through my whole 2hr workout with more to spare. I love the fact that when I am running they do not fall off my face and the sould of the music to perfect. Calls are very clear. I wish there was a feature like “find my” because losing a pair of expensive glasses like these or having them stolen and no way to find them would suck. Over all. I like them and use them every day.

Having the inbone conductive hearing makes them a god send for people with mild hearing loss. Overall a great buy the AI features really make life easier and simpler .

    Glasses are comfy and they work really well, the battery life can be drained if you use them with music but if you don’t, they last for hours and the it only takes 30 minutes to fully charge from 40 to 100%. I love them, plus the sound quality is really good, best purchase I made in a while

    I recently bought the Ray-Ban Meta glasses from Best Buy, and I’m really impressed. They look just like a regular pair of Ray-Bans, but the added smart features make them so much more fun and useful. The build quality feels premium, the lenses are clear, and they’re comfortable to wear for long periods. The camera and hands-free features work great — I can capture moments instantly without pulling out my phone, and the audio is crisp without bothering people around me. Setup was quick and easy, and the battery easily lasts me through a day of casual use. If you want stylish sunglasses with smart functionality, this is a perfect blend of fashion and tech. I’m really happy with my purchase!

    Work well but no charging cable

    I have always been a Ray Ban fan! Wayfarers are my favorite. I also have the Stories version. I think the Meta version is intended to supersede the Stories version as they are very similar. As I have both versions, I will comment on some of the differences between the two. I did not receive this in retail packaging. So, I have no comments on the packaging. You receive the case, glasses, a cloth and some paperwork. The case charges via USB-C. YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A USB-C CORD or CHARGER. I was really surprised by this. The set up was really easy as I already had the Meta app. I added a new device and the process first failed. You need to press the button on the back of the case to put the Meta glasses into pairing mode. Once this was done, I could easily add the glasses to the Meta app. So I now had the Stories and Meta glasses available in the Meta app. Using the Meta glasses is straight forward. You turn them on with the slider on the inside of the frame. One click takes a picture (On the Stories one click takes a video). A double click takes a video (On the Stories this takes a picture). I always hated how the one click took a video instead of a picture on the Stories. I took many 1 second videos ARGH! Please look at the picture taken from each version of glasses. Audio works the same. You use the right frame to slide your finger and adjust the volume. The sound is fine but it is open air listening. It is OK but not as good as using ear buds. Your sound will be impacted by a noisy environment. I find the fit to be a little narrow on the Meta. My Stories are fine for fitment. The Meta version is narrower. I do not have a super large head as far as I know. For me, the fit of the Stories is better. The case of the Meta version is nicer than the Stories. It looks and feels like leather. I do not think it is leather though. The charging is from near the bridge of the nose area. It does fit snug in the case. The case is slightly smaller. I did switch the Meta glasses to a different phone for testing. You need to remove the glasses from the Meta app on the old phone. You need to factory reset the Meta glasses. Initiate pairing for the Meta glasses and then pair them to the different phone. You cannot use the glasses on two different phones (aka Facebook accounts). Summary – The Ray Ban Wayfarer Meta are great smart glasses! I rate them 4 out of 5 stars. I deduct a star as there is no USB-C charging cable provided. For a smaller head I would pick the Meta version. For a larger head I would pick the Stories version. You should try them on before you buy one.
