Good Overall, But Missed Out on the New Release

I really enjoy these glasses overall, but there are a few areas I wish were better. The video quality is impressive, but the photo quality could definitely use improvement. Battery life is shorter than I’d like, and low-light performance leaves a lot to be desired.
I placed my order on September 9th, only to find out a few weeks later that Gen 2 was launching. Unfortunately, I’m now outside the return window, which is a total bummer because the new release has all the upgrades I would’ve preferred.
All in all, the glasses are good and fun to use, but I can’t help but feel I would’ve been much happier with the newer version.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review with us and we're glad that you have loved the experience so far.
We'd like to let you know that the return window for the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses is usually 30 days in case you're looking for an upgrade and you can also get in touch with our lovely support team via Meta Store support page to get any assistance over that.

I purchased these glasses before our Europe trip. With the cold temperatures this was the best way to capture every moment without the hassle of taking out the phone out of the pocket . Extremely happy with the quality of the video and pictures. Love this product it is very easy to use , the charging lasts almost 8 hours of continuous use but if you store them in the case it charges automatically . I would like to have purchased the transition lenses which would be even better day/night but even at night I was able to see pretty well.
We can't thank you enough for taking the time to share your awesome review of our Ray-Ban Meta Glasses and for giving them a perfect 5 stars!
We're thrilled and so happy that you had an amazing time on your trip and that you were able to capture all those memories with ease. We're sure you had the best time ever.
We hope you have a great day ahead!

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer with Meta AI is hands-down the most futuristic and functional piece of eyewear I’ve ever owned. At first glance, you get the iconic Ray-Ban style—sleek, bold, and effortlessly cool with the shiny black frame and striking green lenses. But then you realize… these aren’t just glasses—they’re smart, and I mean seriously smart.
Photo/Video: I captured crystal-clear memories on the go—no fumbling for my phone, just a subtle tap or voice command. Perfect for walks, concerts, or spontaneous adventures.
Audio: The open-ear speakers are surprisingly immersive. I take calls, listen to music or get directions, all while staying aware of my surroundings. They’re lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day.
Meta AI: Here’s where it really blew my mind. I asked questions, translated signs while traveling, and even got real-time reminders—without lifting a finger. It’s like having a virtual assistant built right into your frames!
This is more than a fashion statement—it's a lifestyle upgrade. If you’re even thinking about wearable tech, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers are the perfect blend of style, convenience, and cutting-edge innovation. Worth every penny—and then some.
We are happy to know that you love the Ray-Ban glasses. We love getting feedback from our customers. Once again, we appreciate you for taking your time and effort to add a detailed review. If you ever run into issues, please contact our wonderful Support team. We will be happy to help you.

Great addition to anyone looking to add ease to taking photos and having headphones, good at voice commands and quick commands.
Feel kind of cheap, like a cheaper plastic yet still durable.
The battery life is outrageous, ive only charged the case 2 times in a month.
Glasses last a few hours recording, taking pictures and playing music.
Case charges them quick.
The case is also very durable.
Connectivity with phone and app is seamless and i have it set to auto import all photos and videos so they are available for immediate sharing.
The mysic playback feature is beautiful as someone who hates things in my ears, sound quality is second to none, like gow do these glasses even have good bass and noise canceling without being in my ear????
Photo and video quality through social media looks amazing, havent done anything more than social media tho.
Id say its on par with my go pro or galaxy s24 camera.
Being able to go live and be hands free is amazing.
Only reason for 4 starts is like i said the quality of the material used for the glasses/ lenses themselves.
Overall would buy again.
I would recommend this to a friend

I love the meta glasses I think they should make us watch video to better know how to work them but everyday I’m learning something new about them it’s definitely worth the money . Also get the glasses sized to your face for a better fit

You can just tell from holding these glasses that theyre made with quality in mind. Feels like great glasses that are simple and sleek enough to not look gaudy, but still turns heads with its clearly high quality look and feel while using. I love these and will never to back to go pro and am putting my friends on to these glasses to record our dirtbike tricks. Great quality all around from the video and stays on my face just fine while ripping trails on a dirtbike, so saying I am impressed with everything about the meta glasses would be a weak explanation for how cool it is to own. Probably my favorite modern piece of technology. I have never had quality this good while shaking around dirt jumps on bikes with no shaking from a helmet mounted camera. Not to mention how many conversations were strted over questions about the glasses. Its just a good vibe going out with my glasses (i never wore glasses one day and now its constant haha)

These are some of the coolest tech on the market. The ability to listen to my music and podcasts while still being able to hear my surroundings is an amazing feature. The cameras on the glasses are shockingly good quality and the ability to ask the voice Assistant to take a picture or film a video hands free is great. The battery is only about 2.5 hours but the case charge it when your not wearing them. And it’s nice to see a legit sunglasses company partner with a tech company to make a stylish product.

Great product! Linking to your social media super easy, taking phone and listening to music awesome! Camera is good during the day, and only con is battery life.
We're so glad you're loving your new Ray-Ban Meta glasses!
It sounds like you're thoroughly taking advance of their potential already- this is amazing to hear!
We completely agree that there is nothing like these glasses for their audio and camera quality as well as linking your social media accounts as you have done so!
Thank you for your feedback on the battery life too- this is much appreciated and helps us improve!
Take care and all the best!

Honestly amazing quality of videos and pictures , super easy to use and set up

Definitely something useful in everyday life. Only two flaws: battery life and The transitions lens. The battery life drains very quickly; so I bought a wire adapter that connects to my phone which keeps it charged throughout the day. So that is helpful, but you have a wire connected. :| The transitions UV lens isn’t worth the cost. You have to be in direct sunlight in order for these to take effect. So just being in Daylight isn’t enough exposure to change to sunglasses.
We're glad you're loving your Ray-Ban Meta glasses - we put a lot of love into make them!

Definitely worth the money , if you’re thinking about buying some , “Get them”. I work outside and these work perfectly for me not to be on my phone almost ever. Microphone on these bad boys are amazing and sound quality top tier , makes me feel like I’m wearing earbuds almost.

Awesome glasses, quick tinting response, great video capabilities and sound. The only thing better would be audio that others around you can’t hear and a little bit longer battery life.

Works amazing for video and photo. Audio gets distorted with extremely loud noises (Top Fuel Engine) but still audible. They will warn you if they are getting too warm and need to cool for video. I used to record the process in between NHRA racing runs and the actual run and had no issues. Wish you could extend the 3 minute video record time.
