    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.

    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).

    I have really enjoyed these glasses, the clarity, vision, video and sound is awesome, the translation is even on point. The few things i dislike about the glasses are, they do not stay charged for a very long time, i give or take just a few hours before you have to place back into the case for charging, so i still have to carry around my ear buds for back up, something i was really hoping to get away from bc ive gotten the elastic piece stuck in my ear before. Back to the charging, although they dont last long as far as charging once you place them back into the case they charge really fast, like 1-2% a min. The video recording doesn't seem to last more than 3 mins before you have to start a new video. I like the video feature bc these days you never know what may surprise you in which you could benefit from having certain situations videoed, 3 mins is quite short. Overall its a great buy for what its capable of doing but im sure in the near future somethings may change.

    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.

    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.

    I bought these sunglasses for my man’s birthday, and he absolutely loves them! The style is sleek, comfortable, and looks great with everything he wears whether he’s on the road or out for the day. They feel durable and high-quality, not cheap like some others I’ve tried. He said they fit perfectly and block the sun really well, which is a big plus since he’s outside a lot. Definitely worth every penny these made the perfect gift!

    Thanks to these glasses, I’ve been able to capture POV videos of my one-year-old daughter toddling around outdoor parks, indoor playgrounds, church sanctuaries and more. And how great to record precious moments that would pass before i’m able to whip out my phone camera! Not to mention, i can take mirror selfies with no visible camera! The (portrait/vertical-only) 1080p media can be cropped and even upscaled using various apps later. Smaller files (3:00 min max) make for fast file transfers. Recording drains the battery more quickly, but at this price, i just got two. I can switch glasses (both with transistion lenses) when one needs to recharge (in the handsome case). I hope my wife and family will re-watch these clips for years to come. Priceless.

    I wasn’t sure how well smart glasses could fit into everyday life, but the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers nailed it. The classic Wayfarer look with the clear-to-green transition lenses means they work both indoors and outdoors without me needing to swap glasses. The built-in Meta AI, audio, photo, and video features are surprisingly intuitive — voice commands work smoothly, and the audio quality is crisp without being intrusive. Taking hands-free photos and videos feels natural, and people barely notice they’re smart glasses. They’re comfortable for all-day wear, and the matte black finish is subtle yet premium. Overall, they deliver style, tech, and practicality in one package.

    I’ve been using the Ray-Ban Meta glasses for a bit now, and I have to say — they’re one of those gadgets that actually make you feel like you’re living in the future. They look and feel like regular Ray-Bans, but they can take photos, record videos, play music, take calls, and even respond when you talk to Meta AI. It’s kind of wild at first, but once you get used to them, they’re actually pretty fun to have.

    I’ve been really impressed with the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. They look and feel just like classic Ray-Bans, but with a lot of hidden tech built in. The audio is clear without blocking your ears, so I can still hear what’s going on around me, and phone calls sound great on both ends. The camera quality is surprisingly sharp, and being able to snap photos or record hands-free is super convenient. They’re lightweight, comfortable for all-day wear, and the battery holds up well with regular use. Overall, it’s the perfect mix of style and functionality — fashion that actually works smarter.

      Thanks again for the incredible review Jerold and we hope your great experiences never stop and hopefully we'll get to hear about them someday. Have a great day!

    I have been a tech nerd for bluetooth sunglasses for a few months now. I bought some online from Amazon and was very pleased. When I saw these I geeked out and bought them. I then had prescription lenses put in them. I am very happy with them. Below are a few notes: Sound - has been the best of all the bluetooth glasses brands I have bought, great sound (obviously not for loud venues). Fit - I got the large size and probably should have gotten the smaller one. These are a bit heavy so the larger size makes them slide down a bit but it's manageable. Picture taking - is great looks good clear images The app is good, you can coordinate it to your iPhone so you can make calls or send texts saying 'hey Meta' Battery life - the only reason it does not get 5 stars. it's convenient to charge them in the case, but my biggest issue with these is the minimal battery life. it really only does last 4 hours. I've tried to manually turn them off when not using them but it sucks to have to remember to do this all the time. I would sit at work listening to music with these only to have them remind me of low battery after a few hours. Overall - fantastic glasses but hopefully later iterations will have better battery life.

    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

    Not GROK...

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

    While a fun and stylish device, MetaAI, by it's own admission, is not designed to compete with GROK AI. Meta admits it has a limited operating profile. Your phone is certainly the go-to device for complicated information. However, Meta does take good photos and video. (Just make sure you're not wearing a hat as the brim will appear at the top of the picture. The sound from the glasses is better than many low priced ear buds. But it only has about a 2 1/2 hour battery life when streaming music, podcasts, etc. Overall, this currently an entertainment device, not a dynamic electronic information provider. So the price point appears to be reasonable for the investment.

    Awesome Smart Sunglasses - Amazing Sound & Camera

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

    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.

    The glasses are very much an everyday thing for me. I wake up and I talk to meta. Much smarter than the original siri or alexa. The audio is superb I take calls on them all day. They slide down my nose because of how heavy they are. Also I look a little dorky with them on. The picture and video quality is astonishingly good. I wish the lens were bigger because sometimes the frame blocks out some of my vision.

    These innovative smart glasses are truly remarkable. They possess a sleek and comfortable design, reminiscent of traditional Ray-Bans, while incorporating advanced technological features. Users can capture photographs, videos, listen to music, and even engage in voice conversations with Meta. The design is exceptional, although I find it somewhat unsettling that the all-hands-free functionality allows others to perceive users taking pictures or videos. Nevertheless, the battery life is commendable, and the audio quality is clear and crisp. I have thoroughly enjoyed using these glasses on a daily basis.
