Work great battery runs out fast but they are the first gen so its expected sound quality is really good and image and video quality not bad the gen 2 are alot better in those areas but for the price these are great and do basically everything the gen 2 ones do.

Following the highly successful Ray-Ban Stories comes the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses. They are stylish eyewear that offer audio and visual features. My pair featured the polarized gradient lenses with the matte black finish. Within the eco-friendly and minimalistic packaging: • Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses • Charging Case and Cleaning Cloth • Quick Setup Guide • Safety and Warranty Booklet The charge case requires a USB-C cable which is not included as the expectation is they are currently ubiquitous. Connecting to your new sunglasses is made possible via Bluetooth 5.3 and the Meta View app, previously Facebook View. A Meta account is required for the app. Once powered on and connected to the app, there’s a tutorial on the basic functions such as taking pictures, starting a video recording, pausing a track and adjusting the volume. There are three basic menus in the app: • Home: Provides tutorial videos and short feature summaries • Gallery: Displays all pictures and videos captured by the account user • Settings: Options for configuring LED notification brightness, shutter options (i.e. long press for video, short press for pictures and vice versa), language and voice, wear detection, updates etc. Quality and durability, synonymous with Ray-Ban’s history, are evident in the construction of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses. The hinges are sturdy with no play. The left temple houses the camera while the right accommodates the capture LED to notify the public the camera’s in operation. A second notification LED for the user is located on the inside of the right rim. This LED has three options for brightness control. As the name implies, it provides status indications via different colors as needed. The right temple also features the touchpad, a speaker (with two openings), the shutter button and two microphones. The taps on the touchpad now offer an improved feedback that help confirm gestures. On the left temple is another speaker (with two openings), two microphones and a toggle power switch. The last of the five microphones is located close to the left nose pad. Charge port is tucked out of sight under the bridge. As previously stated, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses feature a single ultra-wide 12 MP HD camera. It is capable of crisp resolutions of up to 3024 x 4032 pixels for stills and 1440 x 1920 pixels @ 30 Fps for videos. During the day and in well-lit environments, pictures are sharp and reproduce colors accurately. For video capture, there are three options for lengths, 15, 30 and 60 seconds. The Meta View app provides the ability to share content directly to Facebook (Live, Post or Story), Instagram (Live, Post or Story), Messenger or WhatsApp. Should you require to email, print or share via Bluetooth etc. the options also exist via the extended share menu. The five-microphone array setup ensures that conversations and content audio are delivered clearly. A novelty with these sunglasses is the ability to listen to audio or engage in conversation while still being aware of your ambient conditions. This is all made possible by the two speakers located on each temple. In operation, they are able to deliver crisp, clear low to midranges and even some bass. While this setup will never replace your in-ear options, it’s a technological feat how sound is directed specifically for the users for the utmost discretion. “Okay Meta” or “Hey Meta” wakes up the assistant (Meta AI) for handsfree operation. In my experience, I have been successful in getting the tasks below accomplished. This is by no means an exhaustive list: • Record video • Take pictures • Tell time and date • Provide temperature conditions and location • Initiate calls via phone or WhatsApp • Send text messages via phone The remarkable thing with this assistant is its continued evolution. Interaction is conversational and intuitive thanks to the AI. It asks the right questions to hone in on the desired action prior to execution. For calls and text messages, it appears to go by the default number assigned to the contact. As a WhatsApp contact can have multiple numbers without the traditional “default”, the assistant advised the presence of multiple numbers and suggested renaming them differently. I have no doubt about the addition of more features with updates. To further portray commitment to security and privacy, there is now a new “verified sessions” feature which seeks to prevent unauthorized calls or messages. When enabled, the user must complete an authentication on the connected smartphone when a call or message is attempted. Once verified, it remains in that state until the sunglasses are removed. Yes, there is wear detection aboard! The charge case has been redesigned to accommodate the location of the charging port on the sunglasses. While the new design is refreshing, I could not help but miss the constant charging status indicator on the previous iteration. The new case will show the charging status when the clasp is toggled. The LED design on the new case is definitely very refreshing. The four-hour battery life of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses are also supplemented with eight additional charges via the case from a full charge according to Ray-Ban. This, of course, will vary on an individual basis and can be subject to a myriad of factors. Prior to the Ray-Ban Stories and now the Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses, I did not realize the need for these devices that are able to fill this unique niche. I do not see how we will ever go without them, especially considering the ever-improving AI. The convenience of handsfree operation, for both audio and video functions, is worth every ounce in its weight! I highly recommend them.

can honestly say my Meta glasses have been a game changer. From the moment I started using them, I realized they aren’t just “smart glasses”—they’re a perfect blend of technology, style, and everyday convenience. • Design & Comfort: The glasses look sleek and feel lightweight, so I can wear them all day without even noticing. They blend in naturally like a normal pair of glasses, but with powerful features tucked inside. • Audio & Calls: The built-in speakers are crystal clear. Music, podcasts, and calls sound amazing, and the open-ear design lets me stay aware of what’s going on around me. Taking calls hands-free while walking or coaching feels futuristic but effortless. • Camera & Video: The camera quality is outstanding. Being able to capture photos and videos instantly—without pulling out my phone—means I never miss a moment. It’s perfect for recording highlights, family memories, or even behind-the-scenes content for my teams. • AI Integration: The real magic is the AI. I can ask questions, get translations, or even identify things I’m looking at—all right through my glasses. It feels like having a personal assistant that moves with me. • Daily Life Impact: Whether I’m coaching volleyball, spending time with my family, or just out and about, these glasses make life smoother, more connected, and more fun. Meta glasses don’t just add convenience—they transform everyday moments into something smarter and more exciting. For me, they’re not just tech, they’re an essential part of my lifestyle.

I wasn’t expecting to be this impressed — but the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer glasses have completely changed how I capture and interact with the world. Stylish like classic Wayfarers but packed with futuristic tech, they’re hands-down the coolest piece of wearable gear I’ve used in years. The built-in Meta AI is surprisingly helpful — from checking the weather to answering quick questions while I’m on the move. Taking hands-free photos and videos with just a voice command or tap feels like sci-fi made real. The audio is crisp and surprisingly immersive, yet still lets me stay aware of my surroundings. Great for music, podcasts, or calls while walking, filming, or even editing BTS content for my creative projects. I also really appreciated how smooth the setup process was. The Meta View app makes syncing everything super intuitive. Best Buy’s in-store team gave me a quick overview, and I was fully up and running in minutes. Shoutout to their staff — professional and genuinely excited to talk about the product. These glasses have already elevated how I document moments in real-time — whether I’m capturing creative shots during video shoots or just going on a walk and narrating my thoughts. If you’re even remotely curious about smart glasses, this is the pair to get.

They are great! The sound and fit are perfect Also, they are very stylish

I bought the Ray Ban Metas as a Christmas gift and my family member is so happy with them especially they came with the transition lenses. they are very easy to set up and all the features that come with the glasses help him with his barbering studies to record without needing his phone on hand. The no need of headphones are a plus because he loses his headphones alot and with this is like having a phone all together without having extra things on hand!

The Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses are surprisingly sleek and comfortable, looking just like regular sunglasses. The camera quality is great for capturing quick moments without needing your phone. Audio is clear for music and calls, but not super immersive. Voice commands work well most of the time, making hands-free tasks easier. Battery life lasts about a day with casual use, but drains faster with constant use. They feel more like a subtle tech accessory than a gimmick. If you’re into wearable tech, they’re a cool blend of style and functionality.

Love my meta glasses. Very stylish and helpful with answering calls and questions. Very simple to take photos..

Got it Black Friday for a good deal. They do the job well - great gift for people who need glasses and love to take pictures/videos. Got them inserted with prescription lenses for my lady at an opticians. Some opticians are unable to do that for now. The sizes are a bit hit and miss. You can’t exactly heat them to fit better with all the electronics. There needs to be a better way to fit these on more head sizes. Sound is great. It certainly feels futuristic.

Love these glasses. I love the the style the frame is really cute. I sometimes listen to music on it and the sound is nice and clear. Used them on my trip to Japan for a video on the Mario karts and they came out great! Only downfall is that the battery does die after about 3 hours but otherwise great product

Meta Glasses exceeded my expectations. The design is sleek and comfortable for all-day wear. Audio quality is surprisingly clear, and the hands-free features feel intuitive and futuristic. Capturing moments and staying connected without pulling out my phone makes everyday life more convenient and enjoyable. Battery life and controls are impressive and reliable daily use.

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers are a wild mix of classic style and futuristic tech, and honestly, they’re kind of awesome—but not perfect. They look just like regular Wayfarers (so no awkward “tech gadget” vibes), but they pack in open-ear speakers, dual 12MP cameras, and smooth Meta integration for things like live-streaming or snapping quick pics. The audio is shockingly clear for open-ear, and the photo quality is solid (unless it’s dark—then, not so much). They’re a bit heavier than normal glasses, and the 4-6 hour battery life isn’t ideal if you’re out all day. Oh, and privacy? A little iffy since the camera’s so low-key, even with the LED indicator. Still, if you want wearable tech that doesn’t scream “I’m a cyborg,” these are seriously worth checking out (just be ready to charge them often).

These glasses are not the most stylish but they are super fun and I love how seamless the transitions are. They go with everything even if they make me look a bit dorky! No issues with them so far that a quick reboot can’t fix. The speakers/music aspect is phenomenal, it’s honestly what sold me initially. Picture quality isn’t half bad either. Fit great on the face. Have a nice weight to them and feel very secure. Battery life is mehhh. Worth the money? Maybe not, but I still like them enough and I’ll use them enough down the road to justify blowing a bunch of money on these.

These Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer smart glasses are impressive and stylish. The shiny black frame with green lenses looks classic, while the built-in camera captures clear photos and videos hands-free. The sound quality for music and calls is surprisingly good, and Meta AI is helpful for quick questions on the go. Comfortable to wear and easy to use — a great mix of fashion and smart tech.

Loving the new Meta glasses, so many features and many improvements compared to the the older Stories. Lets start with the case, both are the charging dock for the glasses but this is much smaller and much nicer looking than the previous stories case, also holds on to a charge way longer. I have had the glasses for a week and have only needed to plug the case in once. Now the glasses have many improvements, also they feel lighter than the stories; significantly lighter; but comfort is not the only improvement I notice, the sound has also been significantly improved, it is not necessarily louder, but definitely better, it is a much crispier sound and way improved bass compared to the stories glasses. Battery life feels also improved, but then again, I am comparing a brand new set of glasses with a one year old so that could also be a part of it. As far as the camera goes, the quality has gone up and it can record longer clips. It still has the same controls on the side arm for volume, play stop etc. However the AI voice commands is where it really is at. I love just saying "Hey meta" and just asking it to take a picture or video. Just frees your hands so you can enjoy what you are doing. I use it mainly when I on a hike or riding my bike and want to take pics of the scenery. Fabulous. You have to install the Meta view app and these is the brains of the operation. From there you can see your pics, videos, share to apps (I love sharing my pics with my friends on WhatsApp). These are "smart" glasses, but they are still a nice pair of sunglasses and the quality is top notch. The black tint is of a lighter shade of black, these are not pitch black, and I love them, they give you great UV protection. I absolutely love these new Ray-Ban meta, you will not regret the investment

I own the Ray-Ban Stories and have been pretty happy with them. Naturally, I was excited to see how the Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses would improve upon the previous generation of smart sunglasses. Set up was easy since all I had to do was follow the app’s directions. After a quick update, I was ready to give these sunglasses a trial run. I was pleasantly surprised that the sunglasses connected to my phone within seconds after taking them out of the case. Sound/music I noticed the Ray-Ban Meta really improved upon the quality of the speakers. They were quite a bit louder, with the sound crisper and clearer than the previous version. These can control Spotify, but have limited functions with other third party music apps. I was able to play, pause, fastforward, and rewind, but was not able to request a specific song from Apple Music. Calls The calls sounded great and I could hear the caller very well. The caller stated that I sounded very clear and natural. I tried to imitate the sound of wind to see how the call performed in a windy environment, but either the glasses did really well or I did not generate enough noise! Pictures/Videos The Ray-Ban Meta version has made some great improvements on photo quality. The images are clear and seem to be zoomed in more than the previous version's pictures. In addition, videos also looked and sounded great. Pros Natural/true pictures Videos are clear with good audio Connects to phone within seconds Accurate voice control – great at messaging and voice calls Great music/listening experience I couldn't think of any cons! If you are looking for a great pair of smart sunglasses, then I would recommend the Ray-Ban Meta. I thought the previous version was pretty good, but I think these are great.

Great product and easy to use. Fits fine and made with good quality.

I’ve been using the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer smart glasses for a little while now, and they’ve completely exceeded my expectations. The design is classic and stylish—true to the Wayfarer heritage—but with powerful tech seamlessly integrated. The Meta AI assistant is incredibly responsive and useful for quick questions or hands-free help when I'm out and about. Being able to take photos and videos straight from my glasses is a total game-changer, especially when I want to capture the moment without pulling out my phone. The image and video quality is surprisingly good for something so discreet. The audio is clear and immersive without leaking too much sound—perfect for music, podcasts, and even calls. I also really appreciate the clear-to-green Transitions lenses. They adapt smoothly in different lighting and offer a cool, futuristic look while still being super functional. All in all, these glasses are just fun to use and make daily life feel a little more connected. Whether I’m walking around the city or traveling, I love having them with me. Highly recommend for anyone who loves wearable tech that actually blends style and function.

video works great on these even when riding bumpy mountain bike trails.. image stabilization works very well.. sound quality is great when listening to music, phone calls, and ai responses,.. microphone noise cancelling is awesome. Only complaint is about the battery,.. it charges fast when you use the case but if you are going to use it for video and photos a lot you will have to recharge the glasses a few times a day. But if just using for headphone replacement and ai functions you can get through half of the day or more on one charge in my experience. Also live video streaming for Instagram and WhatsApp is very cool to use especially if you need to show people how to do something and you need both hands free. Once you have a pair of these you'll have a hard time living withoiut them.

I’ve been using the Meta smart glasses for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The design is sleek and stylish—comfortable enough for daily wear without looking too "techy." I love that they look just like regular sunglasses. The built-in camera is surprisingly good for quick photos and short videos, perfect for capturing moments hands-free. Audio quality is also solid, with open-ear speakers that let me hear my surroundings while listening to music or taking calls. Voice commands through Meta AI work well for simple tasks like taking a picture, making a call, or checking the weather. Battery life is decent—about 4-6 hours depending on usage—but I do wish it lasted a bit longer. The charging case helps extend use on the go. Pairing with my phone was easy, and the Meta View app gives helpful access to media and settings. Pros: Stylish, lightweight design Good photo and video quality Clear audio with open-ear speakers Smooth voice command functionality Cons: Battery life could be better No display (for those expecting AR visuals) Overall, these are a great step forward in smart glasses—perfect for content creators, commuters, and anyone who wants tech that blends into their everyday life.
