    Slick, can't go wrong with polarized.

    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 switched to this pair from the transition version, and I am very happy. The polarized lenses also help prevent glare from light sources. I will say, the frames are on the larger end if you have a small face. These non-transition sunglasses will help mask that fact as it's more difficult to see where the lens starts and begins. However, I would definitely recommend that you try them on in-store if you are able to, just to see if they would fit your face properly.

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.

    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.

    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.

    Coolest piece of tech on the market! I truly love these glasses. They look just like regular ray bans but have the ability to take pretty high quality photos and decent videos. The sound quality is awesome too! I love being able to capture my surroundings hands free. Charging case is a great design too! Love it. This would be a great gift for someone who loves tech and wants to stay stylish!

    Overall these perform very well. Easy to setup. Takes great video for behind the Scenez videos for instagram. Also works great capturing first person view when mountain biking or driving car but always limited to 60sec captures. Sound recording is great. I’ve been using mine for phone calls more than I use AirPods or Car speakerphone connections because it removes all of the background sounds incredibly well. It will be more useful soon when they add the enhanced Ai features. Biggest negative is that the device always needs to be paired to Facebook Meta account in order to work.. it would be great if it could be detached from FB but leave some basic features active like Bluetooth audio to phone and camera functions.

    Amazing glasses, sound is great, they look great. Just need water-proofing and ability to use left or right sound and maybe a tad lighter.

    Good Video and audio quality. Built in speakers are great. Recording are great, but you need to be careful your hair doesn’t cover the camera lenses and don’t move your head too much.

    Must I say these are pretty amazing little shades. The clarity of these are perfect for covering the sun while listening to music in your ears wirelessly. Taking pics at any moment or video. It’s so convenient to have all those features in your fingertips but on you. This device is so worth is especially on those random moments it’s so good you need one

    Bought these for my job but ended up using them for so much more ! I absolutely love them. Ive used them in 3 countries and 27 states already and the video is amazing. Ive uploaded 2 pics with my 2 pair of glasses and 2 pics of the picture quality so you can see how great these are. Not to mention the built in AI technology makes these glasses top notch! The only complaint i have is there is no way to make the LED light not come on when recording and this interferes with my Investigator surveillance when im trying to not be noticed.

    Great shades and fantastic photos and videos. Battery life was good and charging case very cool and quick charge. The built in Ai did surprise me as it gave me good places to eat and local weather when in Japan. I think these glasses replaced my go pro.

    Love these glasses! I just had a little baby girl after 17 and a half years of trying. I wanted a device I could use everyday and wouldn’t hinder our natural interaction. These fit the bill! I only have two wish, first wished we can record in both orientation it currently only shoots in portrait mode not landscape. Secondly I wish you can have certain controls like night mode or to be able to change the iso or have hdr mode right now as it stand you can just take a video or photo. Other than that I love these!
