    Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are stylish and functional smart glasses that excel at capturing memories from a first-person perspective and providing excellent audio quality for calls and music, but their AI features and overall usefulness are still a bit limited, not quite justifying the high price for most people. Reviewers highlight the glasses' comfortable, stylish design that resembles regular Ray-Bans, their surprisingly good audio, and the convenience of hands-free photo and video capture. However, cons include only vertical video recording, limited battery life during heavy use, a somewhat bulky feel, and a lack of integration with many popular third-party apps. The Meta AI features, while improved over time, are still seen by some as a novelties rather than essential tools, making the glasses more appealing to tech enthusiasts or those already looking for new Ray-Bans

    After a week with the Galaxy Buds Pro 3, I’m genuinely hooked. First off, these buds look sleek. The design has this sharp blade-like edge that gives them a futuristic vibe, and the LED lights are a nice touch—they add a subtle glow that makes them feel more high-tech without being flashy. Sound-wise, they’re amazing. Deep bass, crisp highs, and everything just sounds full and immersive. I’m super impressed with the noise-canceling—it’s powerful enough to block out background noise, but the transparency mode feels natural, like I’m not even wearing earbuds. The fit is another win. I can keep these in for hours without my ears getting sore. Battery life has been solid too—around 8 hours per charge, and the quick charge gives me an hour in just five minutes. And switching between my devices is seamless, which I didn’t realize would be this convenient. Overall, the Galaxy Buds Pro 3 are looking and performing like a real upgrade in every way.

    These glasses are insane! They look like regular Ray-Bans but you can take pics, record videos, listen to music, and even ask Meta AI stuff. I even use them for work sometimes and they’re super helpful. Audio is super clear and the camera quality is great. 10/10, would buy again.

    They got scratched up immediately but I’m rough on glasses. They’re cool, the AI is not the best and the battery overheats on a hot day in use. But for what it does I’m happy the video quality is great. They feel like normal glasses and have a light that lets you know it’s capturing.

    I recently purchased the Ray-Ban Meta, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the combination of style and technology. The matte black finish gives these glasses a sleek and modern look, while the Polarized Gradient Graphite lenses not only provide excellent eye protection from the sun but also add a touch of sophistication. The Wayfarer design is a classic that never goes out of style, and the Meta smart features take it to a whole new level.

    A Game Changer! The Future of Tech is on Your Face. I have been absolutely blown away by the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. This isn't just a gadget; it's a seamless extension of my daily life. Meta and Ray-Ban have finally delivered on the promise of smart glasses, combining cutting-edge technology with an iconic, effortlessly stylish design. Iconic Style Meets Discreet Tech First and foremost, these look and feel like a premium pair of Ray-Bans. The design is sleek, lightweight, and incredibly comfortable for all-day wear. The genius is how discreet the technology is. Unlike clunky competitors, these truly blend in, which is crucial for capturing moments without drawing attention. The aesthetic is 10/10—classic Ray-Ban style that everyone recognizes. The Best Hands-Free Camera I've Ever Used The camera quality is genuinely impressive. The 12 MP camera captures crisp photos and brilliant 1080p video, even in challenging lighting. The ability to simply say "Hey Meta, take a picture" or tap the side to start recording has completely revolutionized how I capture my life. No fumbling for my phone! I've caught candid, natural moments—from hiking views to quick family memories—that I would have otherwise missed. The first-person perspective is immersive and amazing to share. Immersive Audio and Clear Calls The open-ear speakers are fantastic. The audio quality for music and podcasts is rich and surprisingly powerful, making them perfect for walking, commuting, or just listening around the house. What truly shines, however, are the calls. The five built-in microphones mean my voice is always clear on the other end, even with background noise. Taking a call without ever touching my phone feels incredibly natural and freeing. The Convenience of Built-in AI The integrated Meta AI is a fantastic addition. Being able to ask questions, translate signs, or get information instantly while keeping my hands free and my eyes up is a massive productivity boost. It's not a gimmick—it's genuine utility that makes me feel like I have a smart assistant available in the most natural way possible. Final Verdict: A Must-Buy If you are looking for smart glasses that deliver top-tier performance, look fantastic, and integrate effortlessly into your life, look no further. The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are the perfect blend of fashion and function. They are worth every penny and are, without a doubt, a game changer for hands-free content creation, communication, and daily convenience.

    A Perfect Blend of Style and Tech Innovation

    I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Wayfarer Bluetooth Audio Glasses in Matte Black/Polarized Gradient Graphite, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. The matte black frame with polarized gradient graphite lenses with that classic Wayfarer design, which not only complements various face shapes but also adds a touch of timeless elegance. Ray-Ban has masterfully merged fashion and technology, creating a seamless blend effortlessly. These smart glasses come with built-in Bluetooth bone conduction speakers discreetly integrated into the frames. The audio quality is very impressive, delivering clear and crisp sound without compromising on comfort. I would have my friends try them on and then play a song and seeing their faces light up when they heard the song and the confusion of how they were hearing the music was hilarious. Whether I'm on a call, listening to my favorite music, podcasts, the audio experience is immersive, allowing me to enjoy my content without the hassle of wearing traditional headphones. I had to go shopping with my girlfriend during college football and just put the game on my phone and was listening to the commentary and she had no clue I was listening to the game. The touch-sensitive controls on the right frame are intuitive and responsive. Adjusting the volume, skipping tracks, or answering calls is as simple as a tap or a swipe, eliminating the need to fumble for my phone constantly. The hands-free convenience these glasses offer is a game-changer, especially when I'm multitasking or on the go. The Meta personal assistant needs some work in that it can’t integrate with some 3rd party apps on my phone such as asking it to open my music app it says it can't do that. The 12 Megapixel cameras are very impressive taking clear photos and videos. Just press the button on the right frame and you can capture the moment in an instant. Pressing and holding the button will start filming video for up to 1 minute. Was a little disappointed it only can videos for 1 minute but I guess that's meta just wanting the length to be that for Reels posts. You can also ask the Meta assistant to take a picture or start filming if your hands are full which is a great feature. The left frame has a privacy switch where you can turn the cameras off, if you want so you are not accidentally filming or taking pictures. The Meta View app is very user friendly and makes it easy with step-by step instructions to pair your sunglasses to your phone. In the app is where you manage your media and settings. All your photos and videos will be stored here and then you can transfer them to your phone's photo album or you can select what you want to post to all Meta’s social media apps. Battery life is surprisingly good with about 2 and half hrs and then you can just charge them in the case which has about 3 charges in it. The case is the charger for the sunglasses and you can charge it with a USB-C port. I was a little disappointed that they didn't include a USB-C cord with them. Overall, the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Wayfarer Bluetooth Audio Glasses have exceeded my expectations. Ray-Ban and Meta have successfully created a product that seamlessly combines style, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. I’ve shown these to a handful of my friends and two of them have gone out and bought a pair. So, If you're looking for a stylish and innovative tech accessory, I can not recommend these enough and give these smart glasses a try.

    These Smart glasses attracted my attention when they were first announced. Ray-Ban Stories were the first generation and I liked those but used them mostly as just sun glasses. Now when Meta has partnered with Ray-Ban to make the second gen and announced all the new improvements they did to the product, I decided to give them another try and was able to get Ray-Ban Meta - Wayfarer (Standard) Smart with Bluetooth Audio. Here are my experiences with these glasses: First of all, they are comfortable, its design is trendy and they look exactly like any regular Ray-Bans in this category. They are not chunky and its weight is simply perfect, even though they house, two cameras, microphones, speakers and a processing unit, etc. Image and Video quality is excellent for a pair of sunglasses and I was very impressed how pictures turn out when transferred to my phone. The shutter button is conveniently located on top of the right arm, however thanks to the embedded AI Assistant, yes these Smart Glasses feature a full-fledged AI helper to answer your questions. So if you need to take a picture or a video, you simple say: "Hey Meta, take a picture" and just like that you are shooting a 12MP picture. This Smart Glasses are definitely great for the first person photo and video. Now, just make sure you do not wear a baseball hat like I did, a mistake you will see later in your pictures. Now, let's talk about the Audio quality. Speakers on these glasses rock! I mean, the sound is pure, crisp and sound like a good pair of headphones. What's amazing is there is nothing poking in your ears, the sound flows out of the glasses and surrounds you in a way. Also, unlike the first gen these smart glasses do not leak the sound everywhere so the people around you can hear everything. At 50% volume, you are enjoying your music, not your friends or family who are with you at the moment. I really like taking calls with these Smart Glasses, use them for biking and listening to my favorite playlists and podcasts. Now, since there is no display inside or on your lenses, I am still hoping for Google like glasses some day in the future, as a lot of your requests and conversations with the AI Meta Assistant will rely on the Audio feedback. I found the answers were right on and are very a matter of fact. You can choose a number of different voices to your liking. Of course the glasses rely on your phone's data or internet connection to answer your questions. Overall, I am very pleased and surprised by these glasses. They are definitely going to be used a lot and I look forward to new gen of AI Smart glasses next year!

    These Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers have been an awesome gift, and my husband has been getting so much use out of them, especially as a football coach. The 12 MP camera is a standout feature. He loves being able to capture short videos and photos hands-free during practices, whether it’s drills, moments with his team, or just highlights he wants to remember later. The open-ear speakers are another big win. He can listen to music, take calls, or get quick info without blocking out what’s happening around him, the audio is clear and works great even in busy, outdoor environments. The polarized gradient lenses are excellent for long hours outside. They reduce glare and provide great clarity, which is essential during sunny practices and games. Plus, the classic Wayfarer design looks sharp and doesn’t feel bulky or overly “techy.” As a coach who’s always on the move, he’s found them incredibly practical and fun to use. Definitely a fantastic gift and highly recommended for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors and wants smart tech without sacrificing style.Is this conversation helpful so far?

    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.

    Next-Level Smart Glasses — Blown Away by the Meta

    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.
