    Mediocre. Fun but bad quality and AI is limited

    the build quality was really bad. The right screw gets loose constantly and appeared stripped. I bought a tool to adjust it and the left hinge was great, could tighten or loosen easily, but the right one was stripped and it was difficult to tighten, then loosened very quickly. The app is also very limited. The meta AI is not very good and you can't change it to other AI models so you're currently stuck with Meta. Given that Google and other competitors have and will produce products this year, I recommend waiting to see what else is on the market soon.

    Stay away from these glasses! I purchased on May 25 and by the end of June they where not working well they where unpairing very often. I definitely tried to reset everting in the book and nothing. Comes to show that from May to June from putting on and off the glasses a little pice had detached and was causing that when I would wear the glasses it would disconnect. Now I am stuck between BestBuy/Meta/ Raybans trying to get a replacement or refund and have not heard from no one it’s has been a very frustrating and disappointing experience with this product.

      Hello Laura.

      We completely understand the inconvenience caused by these hardware and pairing complications, especially when you have already tried all the troubleshooting steps. Having a physical piece detach is certainly not the seamless experience we want for you.

      To ensure your replacement or refund request is expedited immediately, please contact our Meta Support team directly so we can personally handle your case and coordinate a resolution. RaybanStories

    There are several ads showing these glasses support Japanese translation. That is completely false and it does not support Japanese at all and this was a HUGE waste of money. The battery also only lasts about 2 hours. Awful product

    Stopped working after less than a week

    Glasses stopped working. Solid or flashing red light from the case. Tried all the recommended solutions Google Gemini suggested. Eventually had to return it. Thank goodness I bought the extension to the return window. Too many reports of these just stop working. Nice idea, good looks, lots more work needed on reliability. Can't even review how well they work, c when they work, as they didn't work long enough for me to really test them

      Hey there!

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your glasses stopped working after just three weeks, especially since they were only being used occasionally.

      Before reaching out for a replacement, you can try to force restart your glasses to see if it resolves the issue:
      1. Slide the power switch on the left hinge backward to power the glasses off.
      2. Press and hold the capture button on top of the right frame.
      3. While continuing to hold the capture button, slide the power switch forward to turn them back on.
      4. Release the capture button once the notification LED turns red, and test them.

      If they still do not turn on or connect, please reach out to Meta Store Support via the Meta Store Help Hub for 24/7 technical troubleshooting through Live Chat.

      Since these glasses are manufactured by EssilorLuxottica, all official manufacturer warranty claims and component repairs are handled directly by their specialized teams. You can easily file a hardware replacement claim online via the Ray-Ban Aftersales Portal on the Ray-Ban Support Page.

      You can also contact Ray-Ban Customer Care directly by calling their warranty team at 1-866-472-9226 to get this sorted out quickly.

      We want to ensure you get the specialized assistance you need to get your glasses working again! RaybanStories

      Hi Toby, thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

      We want all of our users to have the best experience possible, therefore, we really appreciate your feedback.

      For the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), the glasses can last up to 8 hours once they're fully charged. Please be mindful that this depends on various factors. However, this is common with moderate usage of the glasses.

      With regards to the recording light, this cannot be turned off as it is a privacy feature as it allows other people to see when the glasses are recording.

      We hope this provides some clarity.

      If you have any other queries or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our wonderful Customer Support team. They can be contacted via our website and are available 24/7. oculus

    This was a disappointing purchase. They do not work the way they should. They disconnect from Wi-Fi and blue tooth randomly and multiple times while in use. The shutter button will click and no picture or video. You can say Hey Meta until your blue in the face and nothing. They are heavy and bulky on your face. Worst 500 dollars I’ve ever spent.

      Hi Watterproof

      Your input is valuable and helps us identify ways to improve packaging and accessories so that future experiences meet expectations. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know, and we’ll continue working hard to ensure Meta products deliver both cutting‑edge technology and the essentials that make them easy to use.

    Bought these glasses to record content for my business, but the glasses don’t import your media in chronological order and there’s no way to make them. It just leaves me with a random bunch of videos to try to figure out the order to make a video. Had I know this I definitely wouldn’t have wasted over $400.
