I really love these glasses because I want to be a content creator but I'm really shy and hate to hold the camera up to my face or towards what I'm looking at which makes it obvious that I'm recording. These give me confidence to walk around and record content without anyone really knowing... almost. There's three downsides to these glasses for me. One being the recording time of 3 minutes max, Its not horrible because you can just start another 3 minutes right after with just a tap, but I'd say 5 minutes would be perfect. The second downside is the battery life, these glasses don't last too long, especially if you're recording at 3 minutes. They will only last about an hr, but at least the case charges fairly quick. And the last downside is the light showing on the glasses to indicate that you're recording. I bought these to be inconspicuous and I've noticed people noticing the light on my camera and they stare trying to figure out what's going on. That almost defeats the whole purpose of me getting the glasses, I don't want people staring at me. I wish there was a way to turn it off, but I still say it's better than holding up my phone to vlog. Most of the downsides have an easy solution, but because of them I have to give the glasses a rating of 4/5.
We're glad to hear that your new Ray-Ban Meta glasses have helped you get started with your content creation, and we really appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback!
All the best, and good luck with your content!

I’ve been using the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. They combine the classic Ray-Ban style with smart features that actually make a difference in my daily life. The built-in camera captures high-quality photos and videos from my point of view, which is perfect for documenting moments without pulling out my phone. The open-ear audio is surprisingly clear, letting me listen to music and take calls while staying aware of my surroundings. Voice commands through “Hey Meta” work smoothly, letting me send messages, check the weather, or even translate on the go. Battery life easily gets me through a typical day, and the charging case is discreet and practical. What I love most is how they look like regular Ray-Bans, so I get all the smart features without sacrificing style. Overall, they’re a great investment for anyone who values convenience, functionality, and design.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an in-depth review!
We're so glad to hear that you've been loving every aspect of your Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers, from their sleek yet unassuming style to their amazing audio and camera quality!
We hope that you continue to have an amazing time as you explore the world through an entirely new lens!

These are actually amazing for what they are. I take these most places I travel because I always had a problem (well... Struggle) with "staying present" while trying to capture the memory. With these, I can:
1. Take pictures
2. Record videos
3. Not miss notifications
4. Get quick updates
5. Ask questions about my surroundings
6. Listen to music or audiobooks
All without having to pull out my phone, or airpods, or apple watch to do any of it. I've taken so many more pictures of my family and sights during vacations and even during regular outtings than ever before and I love it!
The ONLY reason these aren't getting 5 stars is the fact I didn't get transition lenses AND I feel they should of used the electrochromic lenses instead. I don't want to wait for the UV rays to force the transition and vice versa. I'll add pictures I've taken with the sunglasses
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear how Ray-Ban Meta has helped you stay present while capturing memories, especially those special family moments. Your feedback on the lenses is super valuable, and we’ll be sure to pass it along. Can’t wait to see the photos you’ve taken!

This is my second pair of meta glasses. The transitions are great and i hardly notice when they are adjusting. Canera quality is very clear and i enjoy being able to take pictires and videos without having to pull out my phone especially when watching a parade or concert things like that. I also enjoy the ease of asking questions or setting reminders by just speaking. Speaker quality is great imo as well. Will continue to buy the new models of these as they are made available.

The ray ban meta transition lenses are the best its make life do easy you don't have to pull your to look up anything you can just say hey meta and its listening for a command. I like that the lenses are transition so you don't have to take the glasses indoors. The battery is to me but it depends on how you use it but I think you get 4-5 hrs if you not really using your glasses, but if a using the glasses heavy you may get 2-3hrs but you have case

Excellent item. Highly recommend for anyone who has issues with earbuds like myself. This purchase has changed the game for me and I will be recommending this product to all my friends and family.
Hey there - thanks for the 5 stars and the awesome review!
Having the ability to take or make calls, and listen to music without an ear piece is incredible, isn't it? The whole world seems different.
We hope you continue to enjoy the incredible features of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer.

Meta's Ray Ban glasses are the surprise of 2023

Meta's Rayban glasses are among the best new gadgets of 2023. Stylish. Comfortable. Packed with technology, the quality of the digital camera produces sharper and more vibrant still images than you would expect from such a tiny sensor in the frames. The video quality is also great in situations with good natural light.
The real star is the of these glasses is the sound. Meta calls the tech Spatial Audio. Making phone calls and listening to music via directed sound and smartly positioned speakers within the arms produces a sound that is clear, even outdoors. It's really cool being able to engage in conversations without earbuds lodged in your ears. This is far better than the best 'passthrough audio' because with nothing in your years, you feel totally free. Great tech!

Ray-Ban Meta has been everything and more than what I expected. I purchased these to help me record for my car detailing business, and I find myself using these every day because they are that great. Helping me shop, ask questions on the fly about products, and even setting timers and reminders as im working hands-free.

These meta Ray-Bans are the best! The pictures and videos are so clear. I visited Germany in June, and with these I was able to translate so much. I would just ask meta to translate the words on a wall or sign and it would tell me what it says.
They're also so good to have when running around after my 2 year old. If you're waiting for a sign to buy these, stop waiting and BUY THEM!!
We are really happy to hear that you enjoy using the Ray-ban glasses and find it really helpful for you. It is even greater to know that the glasses have a great trip in Germany!
We hope that you will find the Meta AI app more useful for you in the future and have more memorable trips in the upcoming time!
Thank you so much again for your lovely five-star review and have a nice day ahead!

They’re super handy to have and really cool! I feel like I’ve got a friend with me everywhere I go (as long as there’s internet) and I’ve tried a lot of different glasses. The AI duration needs is truly a game changer. I can’t wait to get the new set with the neural band and hopefully he’s the price will come down enough where I can afford them soon but until then I got for you know under $300 and for that price I’d say they’re definitely worth it. I wish that it could pick up being called upon easier... Sounds like when I say hey meta it has to be repeated more than I’d like for a good start. Even still, these glasses are a game changer.

I’ve been really impressed with my Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. The classic Ray-Ban style combined with smart features makes them super convenient for everyday use. The audio quality is clear without feeling intrusive, and the hands-free photo and video capture is way more useful than I expected—perfect for walks, trips, and quick moments I want to save.
They’re comfortable to wear for long periods, and the battery life easily gets me through a full day of casual use. I also love how seamless the pairing and controls are. It feels like having extra tech without looking like you’re wearing “tech” glasses.
Overall, a great blend of fashion and functionality. Highly recommend!
So glad you are impressed by our work, we strive to deliver great products and to see you enjoying your Wayfarers so much really bring a smile to our faces.
Thanks for taking the times to let us know.

One standout feature of the Meta sunglasses is their high-quality construction, typical of the Ray-Ban brand. The metal frame feels sturdy yet lightweight, providing durability and comfort for extended wear. Additionally, the lenses offer excellent clarity and UV protection, ensuring both style and functionality.
Photo Quality: 8/10, Imagine your Iphone front camera, pretty much that sort of quality. It takes a great POV video and photo.
Sound Quality: It's amazing, but there is a volume threshold you shouldn't go past if you don't want someone listening to the sound coming out of your glasses. Overall the sound quality is amazing, I normally don't have a need to put the volume all the way up because it works just fine. Fun fact, if you cover both ears with your palm it gets even louder.
Water resistant: It's usually safe for light rain, just clean it off once you get the chance.
Recommendation Features
- I need to be able to tell my glasses to send a particular text or open other apps on my phone

This sunglass is amazing! It's so handy and fun to use. It's like a toy that does amazing thing. You can take pictures, video, listen to music or call.
The only draw back is you can't really use it inside the building as the glass is tinted.
Oeverall I love it.
