    My RayBan Met glasses are great! I love how sleek and stylish they are. The quality of the cameras are amazing for photos and videos. I highly recommend getting a pair to anyone.

    These Raybans Wayfarer Meta glasses definitely carry the sleek design and look of regular Raybans. The pictures come out crystal clear and videos as well are fantastic. The audio definitely is good for background audio but maybe not for extended play. I would say my least favorite thing is the battery life. For instance, if I am using these while running errands, I will get about 3-3.5 hours of playtime if I dont use any of the camera functions or meta functions. The charging case is quick to charge but the lack of continuous battery life is definitely a factor to consider.

    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.

      Thanks for leaving us a great review, we really appreciate it!

      We think you hit the nail on the head, your Wayfarers have a bunch of great features and we are glad to hear that you have been making use of them so far.

      With the ability to take pictures and videos with the fantastic 3K UHD camera hands free, the discreet speakers for listening to music and the ability to interact with Meta AI all while looking slick with that classic Ray-Ban look.

      We are sure your Wayfarers will become a part of your day to day life!

    Picked up the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses at Rite Aid, and I’m seriously impressed! These are more than just stylish shades—they’re packed with smart features that make everyday life smoother. The audio is surprisingly clear for music and calls, and the voice control is super responsive. Taking hands-free photos and videos is a breeze, and they pair seamlessly with my phone. Plus, they still look like classic Ray-Bans—no bulky tech look. Definitely worth every penny. If you’re into smart gear that doesn’t scream “tech,” these are it!

    Smart glasses that don't make you look like a tool

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased the Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer Smart Glasses and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I am generally the guy who keeps everyone waiting on family trips or events as I take my pictures on my camera to preserve the memories. These glasses are a game changer as they allow me to take 80% of the random "everyday life" photos without having to pull out my camera. They have the iconic Ray-Ban design, and I appreciate how seamlessly they integrate with my daily activities without feeling intrusive or looking like a total tool wearing them. The Bluetooth audio is surprisingly good and clear. Look I'll be real with you. Are the pictures and video going to beat my DSLR camera - or even a high-end smartphone camera with someone knowing how to take great photos? No. Is the audio going to please die-hard audiophiles? No. Is the Meta AI going to blow your socks off with what it can do? Not yet... However, for what they are: Smart glasses that can take everyday photos (especially for social media) videos, with decent/capable audio stereo speakers, and AI capabilities that can respond to what you are currently looking at, their performance has exceeded my expectations. These smart glasses are definitely something to consider. 8/10

    Live Performance Usage

    Im a sound engineer, bought for the purpose of recording live shows or other social media activities, as well as daily use (obviously). The video was my main concern as i didnt expect much from the internal mic, i was thoroughly surprised. Exceeding 105 db the audio is definitely suffering but under this however, for say a duo/trio show that stays around 80-90 db, i could get id say 80-85% clarity in my audio with no editing. The video is CRISP and CLEAR. I expected as much but was concerned with motion blur or other weird things going on during a performance. People move lol. This was NOT the case in ANY way. My only complaint is the shortness of video length. 3 minute max hurts. The price is honestly not that much more than the normal Wayfarer or for comparative brands. All in all, such a cool piece of tech to add to your daily life!

    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.

    These Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers are awesome — stylish, comfortable, and packed with useful features.

    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.

    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.

    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.
