Customer Ratings & Reviews

As an owner of the original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses I can say the 2nd generation are a welcomed upgrade that I believe will only improve with time. Starting out with the unboxing, they come in a pretty simple box that does not include much except the glasses, charging case, cleaning cloth, and paperwork. As far as I could tell they did not include a charging cable, which came to me as a surprise. Quite honestly, it does not bother me because I have 100 USB-C cables lying around that I can use to charge them. The charging case is also upgraded in style. It is elegant brown leather with a classic styling. Honestly, most people would not even realize it was a charging case. The glasses themselves are also upgraded in design. The hinges appear to be much sturdier. The matte black design with polarized lenses is my favorite color they come in. They are thicker than regular Ray-Bans and after wearing them for long periods of time you can tell. However, to the average person they would not be able to tell the difference without looking closely. The touch controls on the sides are easy to use and intuitive. On one side there is a camera and on the other there is a much bigger light than the previous generations. Although I do not believe the average person will notice the light it was increased to ensure people know you are recording. Capturing photos and videos has never been easier. These smart glasses make it so easy to record first person videos without having to hold a camera or phone. Both the photo quality and video resolutions have been upgraded. Although they might not be on part with the latest cell phone quality, they are not bad and very usable for social media. The video aspect ratio is now portrait vs the square aspect ratio on the last generation. Videos can be uploaded directly to social media and there are even live streaming options which is a great feature. Taking voice calls, listening to music, and using Meta AI has never been easier with the new generation of smart glasses. The built-in speakers have been upgraded and are much louder. It is noticeable and makes them much better for taking calls or listening to music. The microphones do a decent job and cancelling out background noise and it is possible to take phone calls on them. Simply saying “Hey Meta” will open a personal assistant than can help you make phone calls and answer questions. Meta plans to expand the AI capabilities of these glasses next year and I am excited to see how much better they become. Ray-Bans are on the more expensive side when it comes to sunglasses. I believe that these are a great deal when you consider you are getting Ray-Bans and everything else inside. I think just about anyone can find use in these but especially those who wish they always had a camera on them at all times.

In the box is the smart glasses, a charging case, USB-C charging cord, a lens cleansing cloth and warranty/quick start guide. First Impression - Compared to my previous wayfarer smart glasses, the product box was way simpler, which made it less fancy. I do like the redesign of the charging case and how the glasses actually charge. No longer do they charge from the temple but they charge from the bridge of your nose which makes charger easier to seat. Previously, you had to pay attention to how the glasses fit in the charging case because if not seated properly, they would not charge. Comfort - The comfort is good, they are the normal traditional RayBan cut, so they are still comfortable. The arms are thinner than the original wayfarers, so that helps as well. The hinges are a thicker metal hinge, so they feel a lot stronger/sturdier. Functionality - The app has been updated/changed and is now called Meta and you can use this app for the old wayfarers and this new pair of smart glasses. You still have the on and off button on the inside of the left arm. The capture button is on the right arm on the top; Quick press for pictures, long press for video. Volume, up and down/track skip and reverse/start and stop, is a touch button on the outside of the right arm. (This function is available when you sign into Spotify in the app.) Google assistant is included and it reads you your messages from all different platforms, reads your calendar with the press of a button on the right side arm of the smart glasses. You can also talk to the glasses and tell google assistant what action you want to take. Another feature I noticed, if you listening to music and you can’t hear, you can cup you ear with your hand and the music will be louder. The audio capture is lot better and the video and photo is about the same; they were both already pretty good, so no need for much improvement there. The calling and receiving calls was already great and it is still great on these smart glasses. Right now, I am learning more and more about this pair of smart glasses and I am definitely loving the upgrades and updates. So far, no cons - I forgot to mention that the case has a charge light on the front, so if you have another pair of RayBans with the time color case, you should be able to tell which case goes with which pair of sunglasses. Also, there is a USB-C port on the bottom. Overall, so far, this upgrade is a five out of five and I would highly recommend to friends and family.

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer smart glasses are an upgrade in just about every way to the original Stories glasses. These glasses feature an upgraded 12MP camera for better pictures and videos. The speakers and mics have been upgraded for better sound and sound capture. In fact, there are now 5 total mics, so you can capture better surround sound in your videos. In addition to these upgrades, the glasses can now livestream to instagram and facebook, which is a really cool new feature that I really enjoyed. You will get the best results if you are on wifi, but it is possible to stream with just a cell connection too. However, I definitely had mixed results this way. Sometimes the stream just wouldn't start, or it would start and just be really low quality. This is all dependent of course, on your signal quality. But either way, it is great to have the option. Recorded videos now look a lot better than the previous glasses. The old glasses I think had 5MP cameras. Compared to the 12MP camera of the new glasses, it's like night and day. In addition to hardware upgrades, the software has gotten a makeover as well. First of all, the voice recognition now sports AI, and seems a lot more useful now. On the old glasses I would really only use voice control to start or stop videos or take pictures. Now it is a lot more useful, and it's easy to make calls, send messages, even ask questions. The smartphone app itself also got a pretty nice update. The old app was a bit buggy for me, especially while syncing my captured photos and videos. With the new app, I have yet to have any problems whatsoever. The app connects and syncs your content seamlessly. I am absolutely loving taking videos and loading them right on my phone so easily. The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses feel like what was promised with the Stories. While I enjoyed the Stories for what they were, they always felt like a first-gen product that didn't quite live up to their potential. I found that I used them less and less until I wasn't using them at all. These updated specs however, have reinvigorated my interest in the concept of smart glasses and I am excited again to see what content I will capture with these. I would definitely recommend these to anyone interested.

Great product ! Just wish battery life was longer. however, I know with the diff generation battery life is extended! I still enjoy my Meta Ray-Ban's! very sufficient with my daily lifestyle even at work!

My husband loves all of the functions. He loves that he can hear music. He loves how he can talk through them. He loves that they’re just really cool glasses and I caught them on sale so that makes me even better.

I bought them as a gift for my fiance. He does vehicle wraps for a living and he says the glasses are excellent for showing his customers what is being done on their vehicle.

This is my second pair of smart glasses from Ray-Ban. The first set were the Stories and they were cool and I like the features at the time but the Meta version goes beyond the originals. Lets start with the basics, the glasses themselves are exactly what you would expect from Ray-Ban. Exceptional lenses and a comfortable fits. Bonus - if you need prescription lenses you can get those through specific eyeglass retailers! For all the tech in these classes they are surprisingly light. The case for the glasses looks very similar to a standard case but this one has a USB-C for power and the snap glows different colors to let you know the charging status. Simply put the glasses in the case and they will start charging. Features of the glass include being able to answer calls, listen to music and take pictures. A simple touch or swipe of the frame will perform a function. Can't wait to sit outside during the summer, listen to music and chill. Probably the biggest change from the previous version is the AI built in. Simply start with Hey Meta and a question and very quickly you will get a response. Lastly, you can get these in a variety of colors so you have plenty of options. If you are looking for a convenient connected pair of shades look no farther!

First off...OMG, the sound for not having an in ear speaker is amazingly clear, detailed, has volume, and doesn't disturb your neighbors. I have literally been wearing these around just to listen to music, take calls, and stream youtube. I wear my sunglasses at night! Seriously though I was shocked at the sound quality, worth it just for that. Then I got around to using the photo and video function. Takes great wide pics and videos. Would like a zoom feature, like 2x, 4x tap in future models, but quality is on point. After you get through the initial giddiness over the smart functions you also have great ray ban sunglasses. They are a tiny bit bulky, but are solid, look great, have a superior case compared to regular sunglasses, and the vision is especially clear in regular sunglasses use. I don't think I can say enough that these are a must buy for anyone who is out in the sun, takes calls, listens to music, and has been looking for an easier way to snap a photo without getting the bulky phone out and fumbling with buttons, taps, etc. Do yourself a solid and...treat yo'self

It was a gift for my husband! He loves them! The main thing he loves about the glasses is the sound that comes out when he receives a text message. The glasses reads him the message. He also listens to music. Takes pictures ! Great quality!

10/10 my daughter loves them !! Very stylish, good video quality. Honestly can’t complain

I love the look of the glasses and the feel on my face. I tried to use them in a facilitation to record my session so that I could watch it later. The video quality was great however you can only record for a short period of time.

Great product good pictures good quality sound and good connection

Perfect birthday gift my husband loves them. Best gift for content creator

Ray Ban and Meta killed it with this one. The video/picture quality is surprisingly good. It’s 12 megapixels, but the image quality makes them seem like a better sensor. Also the UI is amazing and seamless.

Amazing product, i got it as a gift to my fiance and he loves them!

I LOVED THEM will be needing another pair and they look fabulous

Happy with my purchase. Works great I bought it for a gift.
