I’ve been testing out my new Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses (yes, with my own prescription added), and I have to say — these aren’t just glasses, they’re a full-on business tool. The ability to wear my prescription means I can use them all day without switching between my regular glasses and tech gear. They fit seamlessly into my workday — whether I’m in meetings, traveling, or coaching clients, these stay on and stay sharp.
What really sets them apart is how they allow me to capture content hands-free while I’m living life. Whether I’m doing real estate walkthroughs, creating insurance training videos, or getting behind-the-scenes content for my podcast or businesses, these glasses let me document without ever having to pull out my phone. The Meta AI features are surprisingly helpful for taking quick notes, voice memos, or even building out content ideas while I’m on the move — basically like having a personal assistant on my face.
On top of that, the classic Ray-Ban look keeps it clean and professional. They don’t scream “tech gadget,” so I can wear them in front of clients, on video calls, or at networking events without looking like I’m trying too hard. For me, these are a perfect blend of efficiency, content creation, leadership, and personal brand — all while staying present in the moment and keeping my hands free to handle business. For anyone who’s serious about maximizing time, scaling content, and running multiple ventures like I do, these glasses are honestly a cheat code.
Thanks for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled that the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses have become a game-changer in your daily life, effortlessly blending style, technology, and productivity. We appreciate the review!

From the moment I put on the Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer Glasses with Meta AI + Audio, I knew I was stepping into something revolutionary. These aren’t just glasses—they’re an experience. Meta has flawlessly fused classic Ray-Ban style with cutting-edge AI and audio technology in a way that feels both natural and futuristic.
Style & Comfort:
Let’s start with the look. These are true Wayfarers—iconic, timeless, and versatile. They feel light but sturdy, sitting comfortably all day long without sliding or pinching. I’ve worn them to work, on walks, and even to social events, and they blend in perfectly—nobody realizes I’m rocking high-tech specs until I show them.
Functionality & AI:
The real magic? The built-in Meta AI. It’s like having a personal assistant that goes where I go. Need a quick translation, a summary of something I’m reading, or help identifying a landmark? Just ask. The voice recognition is impressively accurate, even in mildly noisy environments. I’ve used it to send texts, take photos, and even get spontaneous answers to questions—hands-free. It makes everyday moments smoother and smarter.
Audio Quality:
The open-ear speakers are crystal clear. I’ve taken calls, listened to music, and even joined virtual meetings, all while keeping full awareness of my surroundings. It’s perfect for staying connected without being distracted or cut off from the real world.
Camera & Photos:
Snapping a picture with just my voice or a tap is a game-changer. The camera quality is surprisingly sharp for such a discreet lens, and the ability to capture spontaneous moments without fumbling for my phone is priceless. It’s subtle, quick, and seamless.
Final Verdict:
The Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer Glasses aren’t just smart—they’re brilliantly intuitive. They feel like an extension of myself: stylish, intelligent, and always ready. Whether you’re a tech lover, a multitasker, or just someone who appreciates innovation done right, this is the future of eyewear.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — I’ve never loved a pair of glasses more. Worth every cent—and then some.

Great product but needs the meta view app

There were a couple of things keeping this from 5 stars. The main one is that it is not explicitly said how important the meta view app is to use the glasses. Anything to do with the camera requires the app. The cameras are simialr to an iphone 6s. Not great by todays standards but for a camera on your face exceeded my expectations. It is good to note as well that there is only one camera. The other camera looking part is a small led that lets people know you are recording. So when taking a picture it is always slight off from center. The microphones are very good and pick up sound all around you when taking video. The speakers can then play it back in a spatial audioesque way that is very good. While also doing a good job at isolating your voice. The batery life could be a bit longer. Granted the only time I’ve had them conpletely die is when live streaming. They advertise 4 hours of battery but this is longer if you put them in the case while in the shade. When lice streaming using the meta view app battery is drained very quickly. I got about 2% per min with no audio playing just live streaming. The changing case is very nice leather and acts like a normal case charging the glasses through contacts in the nose bridge. If these ever go in sale I would recomend getting them. Its fairly niche but the audio is good enough to justify it alone. I got transition lens with mine to be able to use them more and there great but it was not worth it. With regular lenses its more worth it. Again if it goes on sale I would say get it. Especially since raybans has many different models that are more expensive than these. Except these have added functionality.

The new Ray-Bay Meta glasses are not too heavy and have the benefit of the classic Wayfarer aesthetic. The camera quality is surprisingly good, even in darker settings. Even when not used for the camera, the audio is solid and quite passable. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a replacement for a good pair of earbuds, but the convenience factor is unparalleled. It functions as a quick camera, Bluetooth headset, and sunglasses. It's hard to beat, frankly.
The Ray-Ban Meta glasses require the Meta View app on the Play Store/App Store to get their full functionality. It allows you to transfer the photos/videos you've taken from the glasses as well as change settings and setup options such as voice assistants. It also has integration with specific apps like Spotify, when set up it allows you to hold the media button (the side of the glasses) and it will recommend a song and begin playing (essentially an immediate smart shuffle, current Spotify users will know what I'm referring to).
The only downside I have found is the battery life is not the greatest, roughly four hours of use. This appears to be the trade-off for the frame being much lighter than other smart glasses (of course still noticeably heavier than sunglasses by themselves). I did end up exchanging these glasses for the polarized version as these transition glasses do not work in a car. Something along the lines of, "The windshield blocks UV light so the glasses will not respond to the sunlight and revert back to clear". That's more of a lens "issue" rather than an issue with the glasses themselves, however. I would recommend these glasses in general if you like slick gadgets that don't scream tech nerd too heavily.

The new Ray-Ban smart glasses are a must-have this season. They’re very stylish, easy to use, and the cameras on top are convenient and well placed. I also love how easy it is to hold a conversation with friends who speak other languages. Best Buy was the perfect place to purchase them—the customer service was friendly and knowledgeable, and they took the time to explain how everything works. I can’t wait to buy a pair for my other son.
Hey there CharmainaJ, Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

The live translation feature is truly amazing, being able to easily talk or jump into a conversation with friends speaking different languages is a feeling like no other.
We're so happy that you're happy with everything that your AI Glasses can offer and we wish you all the best in the future with your stylish AI Glasses at your side.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I got the standard size Meta glasses, and even though they fit overall, they kept slipping off my nose. So, I added some silicone grips to the nose part, and now they stay perfectly in place. Aside from that, I’m super happy with my purchase! The glasses are really useful and well-designed. Thanks again to Best Buy for their great customer service! Highly recommend these for anyone looking for smart glasses.

Husband loves them. Wears them everyday. Battery can last him a couple days without plugging in to charge, justs pops them back in the case. Video recording quality is good, as is the sound quality when listening to music or calls. He wishes the red transistion lenses got slightly darker

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!

These glass, though heavier than my normal glasses, feel comfortable on my head. The functions of these glasses are exactly what they state. The biggest feature for me was the ability to snap photos and videos. I recently went on a vacation and was able to use the recording feature which allowed me to use both hands for other things. I haven’t utilized the AI features or browsed the Meta app much but will be doing so in the near future.
Haven’t had the battery go out yet and I wore them for several hours. I wasn’t using the many features they offered much which was good because the battery was still good when I needed them.
I do regret not getting the transition lenses and will most likely replacing the lenses for some transition prescription lenses.
Lots of uses can be had with these glasses. I just need to take the time to learn how to utilize these options.
We're makes us happy to hear that you've been enjoying your experience with your Ray-Ban Meta glasses! They're perfect for capturing those special moments, and we're delighted to hear that they enhanced your vacation experience!
We hope you continue to capture plenty of photos and videos!

I love these Meta Glasses for photos and videos. It also goes great when you want to make a video on a social media platform but sometimes I feel like there too dark or there not even green looking. They look black but there great. Just wish I had more uses then a couple things. Because if it worked with like Different AI and not Meta AI I would use them a lot more
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience of using the glasses! It's great to hear that they're working so well while you're recording your rides!
We hope you'll continue to enjoy them for all your adventures, and we can't wait to see what you film next!

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.

These glasses are insane! They look like regular Ray-Bans but you can take pics, record videos, listen to music, and even ask Meta AI stuff. I even use them for work sometimes and they’re super helpful. Audio is super clear and the camera quality is great. 10/10, would buy again.
We're delighted to hear that you've been having a great time with your Ray-Ban Meta glasses so far!
They're the perfect blend of innovative technology and style, and the Meta AI integration adds so many amazing new functions!

They got scratched up immediately but I’m rough on glasses. They’re cool, the AI is not the best and the battery overheats on a hot day in use. But for what it does I’m happy the video quality is great. They feel like normal glasses and have a light that lets you know it’s capturing.
If you feel like your Ray-Ban Meta glasses may not be functioning at their highest capability, we'd love to help you out.

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.
