THIS ITEM SEEMED TO BE WORKING JUST FINE UNTIL ONE DAY I DISCOVERED THAT THE NOSEGUARD THAT CONNECTS TO THE FRAME ITSELF STARTED TO SLIGHTLY SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME AND AT THE SEPARATION POINT IS A SHARP EDGE THAT IS STABBING ME IN THE NOSE

I've had the glasses for about 2 weeks no, I purchased through Best Buy and was able to submit to my insurance to use some benefits. Used an authorized eye glass center via Rayban to swap out the lenses for prescription transition lenses versus the "extra" cost on the transition Ray Ban meta.
So far these have great. Not a lot of people notice it's the AI version and their stylish. I connect these to an iOS device and they connect fairly quickly but swapping between different devices to connect to it runs into issues. The volume is great, compared to my airpods, i find these helpful to still hear my surroundings and be able to listen to music, calls or the AI. It's not as "immersive" as noise cancelling air pod pros but I tend to use these more now than my air pods.
As far as the camera, it's great for the photos it captures. Clear enough when lighting is available but under low light it's a hit or miss for video or photos.
Audio - recording audio is great, listening audio is great. I'm actually on a phone call and doing this review as i type.
AI - AI is helpful, some of the features as far as grabbing info in what's in front of me, live translation and AI live are great. It's finicky here and there and i wouldn't say it's super intuitive - there's a small learning curve. Translation translates everything it picks up - even you talking so you literally have to wait for them to talk in the specific language, then you talk. You have to rely on the app if the other person doesn't have AI glasses to show them YOUR translation to their language - which picks up their communication as well.
The fit is great, but I had to get a slim fit nose pads so it doesn't slide down as much. I've worn these for extended hours and it hasn't been uncomfortable. The battery has only gone below 20% once. I tend to take these off here and there to charge in it's case. I've read reviews and can somewhat agree that battery on here IS NOT the best. I'll put them on, phone call, listen to music, take capture a video and i'll be at 80% after an hour or so. These are lightweight, but others have said it's heavy. They don't have a "premium feel" like sturdy so I handle these with caution.
Would i recommend, yes but with a disclosure that the next generation releasing or the google version of these may be better if you can wait.

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer is a game-changer in the world of wearable tech, seamlessly blending the timeless style of the classic Wayfarer with cutting-edge functionality. This device successfully eliminates the clunky, awkward feel of earlier smart glasses, offering a product that is as fashionable as it is smart.
From the moment you put them on, the comfort and solid construction are immediately apparent. The glasses feel just like a premium pair of traditional Ray-Bans—well-built, sturdy, and lightweight enough for all-day wear. The design is a major selling point, with the technology discreetly integrated so you don't feel like you're wearing a futuristic gadget.
The user experience is incredibly simple and intuitive. You can effortlessly capture photos and videos from your own point of view with a simple voice command or a quick tap. Speaking of which, the camera and sound quality are surprisingly excellent. The 12 MP camera takes crisp, high-definition photos and video, while the open-ear speakers deliver rich, clear audio for music, podcasts, and phone calls. The five-microphone array ensures that your voice is picked up clearly, even in noisy environments. The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer is the perfect blend of style, substance, and smart technology, making it a must-have for anyone who wants to stay connected and capture life's moments without ever taking out their phone.

Style Meets Smart Tech – A Game-Changer

I’ve been using the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Large, Matte Black with Polarized Gradient Graphite Lenses) for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. These aren’t just sunglasses — they’re a fully integrated piece of wearable tech.
PROS:
• Design & Comfort: Classic Ray-Ban style with a premium matte black finish. Comfortable for all-day wear without feeling bulky.
• Meta AI Integration: The voice assistant is surprisingly responsive and useful for quick info, setting reminders, or navigating without pulling out your phone.
• Photo & Video Capture: Capturing hands-free photos and videos with just a voice command is a huge plus — perfect for travel, live moments, or creative use.
• Polarized Lenses: Great clarity and eye protection, especially during sunny commutes or outdoor activities.
• Audio Quality: Clear and crisp sound for calls and music without needing earbuds — great for staying aware of your surroundings.
CONS:
• Battery Life: Decent, but heavy use of video or AI can drain it faster than expected.
• Price Point: At nearly $300, it’s definitely an investment — but one that feels justified if you want stylish, functional tech in your daily life.
Verdict:
If you’re into wearable tech but don’t want to sacrifice fashion, these Ray-Ban Metas are worth it. They blend form and function beautifully. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just capturing life hands-free, they deliver on what they promise.

I bought these glasses expecting good quality and some cool features, but they truly exceeded my expectations! The classic Wayfarer design is still stylish, and now with smart technology that actually works. The audio is clear, photos and videos have great quality, and the Meta AI makes it super easy to use hands-free. The polarized lenses are perfect for driving and outdoor use. Battery life is solid and pairing with the app was quick and smooth. I’m in love with these glasses!

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers look just like classic sunglasses, but the built-in tech makes them surprisingly versatile. The polarized lenses are comfortable for everyday wear, and the design doesn’t scream “gadgets,” which I appreciate. The audio quality is better than expected — music and calls sound clear without completely blocking out the environment.
The camera and video features are fun to use for quick captures without pulling out a phone, and the Meta AI integration feels handy for basic voice commands. Battery life is good enough for a full day of casual use, though heavy video recording drains it faster.
Overall, these glasses strike a nice balance between fashion and function. They deliver useful smart features without sacrificing the classic Ray-Ban look.

Hello There
Here are the Ray Ban Meta.. now these are soooo amazing.. trust me.. now that AI is a thing these can tell you what you are looking at.. The sound quilaty is so amzing.. your calls are crystal clear and music is loud.. If you do have the volume way up people around you will hear the audio.. Size: well I have a round face and these fit perfect (large version) and the Polarized lens do help around the suns rays.. The cons well you can already asume that people are going to say " Well you can record or take photos on your phone or camera blah blah" yes you can but the only cons on these is you can only record for 1min witch is pretty bad.. it will be awsome if you can set a setting for that on the app.. which you need to get to update and send videos/photos wirelessly to you phone. But having a setting to set video recording for 1min 5min 10min or 15min will be great... The case that comes with it is great.. USB-C plug and charges the glasses fast... Get these glassess you will not regret it!!!

These Ray-Ban sunglasses with a built-in camera are incredibly cool and modern. The design is sleek and classic, staying true to Ray-Ban’s signature look. The camera quality is surprisingly good for its size, making it perfect for capturing moments hands-free. However, the battery life could be longer, and the app could be a bit more user-friendly. Despite that, they are a fun and practical gadget for tech enthusiasts or anyone looking to try wearable tech. Definitely a conversation starter!

Ray-Ban Metas Review
I've just got my hands on the *Ray-Ban Metas* with transitional lenses and let me tell you, these sunglasses are an absolute game-changer!
First of all, the design is timeless—classic Ray-Ban sophistication with a modern twist. They fit like a dream, hugging my face just right without being too tight. The transitional lenses are fantastic; they adapt seamlessly to different lighting conditions, providing impeccable protection against the sun while still allowing true color perception when indoors.
Comfort is on another level; I can wear them all day without any discomfort. Whether I'm driving, at the beach, or just out for a walk, the Ray-Ban Metas stay put and look fantastic.
What really sets these apart is their durability. They’re sturdy enough to withstand daily wear and tear, but light enough that I sometimes forget I’m even wearing them.
In short, the Ray-Ban Metas seamlessly blend style, comfort, and functionality. They are worth every penny and have quickly become my go-to accessory for sunny days. Highly recommended!
Enjoy the transitional lenses!

These are my first pair or Ray Bans, I’ve always wanted a pair but could never justify spending too much for a pair of shades. Although these are a little on the pricey side for what they offer, I think they provide a great value. Camera quality is quite good considering the size of the lenses. Speaker quality if also quite good. They actually have a little bass and have a nice clean and full sound. The lenses are Polarized ( a major plus) and they have the classic Ray Ban styling we all know and love. I went with the Large since I have a big head and they fit me perfect. They don’t have the little cushion pads for the bridge of your nose but they are still comfortable for long wearing. Battery life has been pretty good. I’ve yet to charge the case, even after about 2 weeks of owning them. The case feels premium, and is very sleek. I tried uploading photos of it but the page is broken or something and kept failing. All in all, I think these smart glasses are very cool and I love them and use them almost every day. My only complaint is that the camera only records in portrait mode. Perhaps with a firmware update they can add 16:9. But other than that, they’re great!

i bought these for my dad and he loves them so much! we originally had the sony and bose and the original plan was to get them fixed but they stopped producing them so we made the switch to something better! weddings, dinners, walking to the mail box, even sitting on the couch you could not get these glasses off him. it took me about 5 min to set up and fully explain them to him, hes over 60 years old and he was already used to the other glasses which didnt have many buttons but he loves them so much. while he doesnt take many photos of videos hes had a bunch of fun ideas on how to use them for work or for family events. meta is super easy for him to use and the music connects effortlessly! he loves them so much and i was thinking of getting a pair for myself

Ray-Ban Meta in matte black with photochromic lenses are great everyday glasses with plenty of use cases.
You can listen to music at half volume — it won’t bother anyone around you, and the sound quality is decent, especially for casual listening. Perfect for walks or commuting.
The Meta voice assistant is a real game-changer. It gives info about places in the city, cooking tips, and answers questions — super helpful in daily life.
The camera quality is also impressive. Videos turn out great, and photos are sharp and vibrant. Perfect for capturing quick moments.
If you’re looking for stylish glasses with smart features, these are definitely worth it!

Camera quality was good. They glasses are nice but feel cheaply made. Very heavy on your face. I ended up returning them because they just arent for me, but could be a great product for others. Battery life doesnt last long but that is expected.

I have the RBM Wayfarer, the frame color is matte black, I have two analyses: 1. from personal use and 2. from the public towards the glasses, .... 1.1. sound: they are very functional glasses, you can free yourself from the often uncomfortable use of headphones to listen to music and calls, the sound is clear and enveloping for the ears, note: the first two days I had a bit of a headache, until my body assimilated its use ... 1.2. videos and photos: from my experience it has very good quality of photos and videos, they are not professional photos but they are very clear in their resolution. 1.3. connectivity: I use them frequently, at the beginning the connectivity worked 100% but sometimes the connectivity of some functions fails, the solution is to close them and open them again so that they fully connect to the cell phone, it is a small fault that I have been able to perceive. 1.4. touch and voice functions: the touch functions of the glasses frame work 100% but the voice command with the AI of the glasses sometimes fails. and 2. the model and design of the glasses that I chose, the frame of my glasses has a camera which is very visible and makes people get scared and think that I am recording, most people do not know how they work and sometimes it is very uncomfortable especially in shopping centers, very few people know how they work, they look at the off indicator and continue normally, and most people [including and especially security personnel] get scared due to ignorance, in my case I like to use them a lot, because I listen to music and receive calls and listen to the messages that arrive on my cell phone, and since the glasses are so comfortable to use, I love them, I recommend that those who have the RBM or other designs, review the Meta manual so that they follow the glasses protocols.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a 5 star review and provide an in-depth analysis of your experience. This will be really beneficial for other users.

Matt Black Frames

I love the matt black framed. It is harder to see the camera. The lightedt color is ok, too… but someone stole them, so i did not get to enjoy those and wear them very long. I also purchased the sandstone with yellow lense…. I don’t think the color looks good for for the tone of my face. They don’t fit my face well are a little uncomfortable after a while. Also, the camera is too obvious on the yellow lenses (looks ridiculous). NOTE: I ordered the black matt in the larger frame! This is a better chose, for me it is a much more comfortable fit.

First - the regret. I really, REALLY wish they had the Transitions lens version in stock. If you are thinking about it thise are the ones to get. The Meta glasses are comfortable (I got the Large) and easy to pair up. Hands-free calls while driving are a big bonus, and the audio for calls and music is really pretty good. Very clear, but if you're looking for thumping bass, look elsewhere. They have been a great purchase, butI I may swap them for an ordered pair with the lenses I really want.

Hands-Free Capture is the Future
These Wayfarer glasses are a brilliant piece of technology disguised in a classic, stylish frame. The ability to capture photos and videos hands-free from my exact point of view is revolutionary—I no longer miss a moment fumbling for my phone. The camera quality is surprisingly sharp, and the video stabilization is excellent.
The integrated Meta AI features have been incredibly useful, providing real-time information discreetly through the audio. The sound quality from the open-ear speakers is impressive for listening to music or taking calls, allowing me to stay aware of my surroundings. They are comfortable, look fantastic, and the utility of the integrated AI has genuinely made my day-to-day life more convenient. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to document their life effortlessly.

We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your new Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers and we are sure you are getting plenty of great use from them.

Really nice smart glasses with the quality you would expect from Ray-Ban! The glasses are lightweight and very stylish. I love the automatic charging case, but it would have been nice if it came with a usb cable for the price paid. The Meta View app for iPhone has been very fast, responsive, and easy to use. The Meta AI assistant is extremely customizable and has been working very well so far. It will be even better when Meta updates the glasses with multimode support next year. That will be the true game changer for these smart glasses. Lastly, the video and picture quality is surprisingly good for a single 12mp wide angle lens. Overall, I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants to have a camera with them to capture those impromptu moments and memories while you're out and about. Enjoy them!
