    Warranty service sucks, they won't stand behind it

    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.

    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

    Terrible service I was told they had a certain product left work to get them got there was not there then I was sent to another store and was told they didn’t have the product there either so they were gonna leave me empty handed with no glasses. I ended up getting the Oakley metas I love them.

    I had high hopes for the Meta AI Ray-Ban sunglasses, but unfortunately, my experience has been quite frustrating. The software is very buggy and crashes frequently, making it hard to rely on the device. One of the biggest annoyances is the voice dictation feature—it doesn’t stop when I want it to, causing constant interruptions and confusion. Overall, the device feels unfinished and needs a lot of improvement before it can be considered user-friendly or dependable.

    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.

      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! RaybanStories

    Microphone died in the first 30 days!!

    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.

      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.
