If you don't desperately need the "hey Meta" activation phrase for hands free activation then turn it off in the settings. The always on microphones drain your battery like crazy. For me that resulted in more than 2x battery life. You can still talk to meta ai through long holding the temple and I honestly feel a lot less douchy that way...
Finally, a good review of these glasses, not only focusing on crap like livestream or photos/videos, but the actual functionalities and the AI features, I needed a review to buy my blind mom a couple of those, again, thanks!!
So I’m a technician specifically a low-voltage technician where documentation of devices is very important and I find myself working on something and wanting to play music while I work so this would help me a lot. I could be working in a server room while listening to music, but if I’m away from my phone, I don’t need to go back to take a picture of a serial number or take videos of what I am doing, so that’s really great. I’m also a dad of two so I do have to be really careful when I’m around them, but it’s great that if I go out, I don’t have to constantly take out my phone to take pictures or videos or even just listen to music for me these are really handy and just like in the video, it helps me be away from my phone because I don’t need it as much as I did before
You may find that the audio is lacking in environments where there's moderate noise, certainly something like the gym is a definite no go as you wouldn't be able to hear anything coming from the speakers on them even at full volume. Also, the battery on them is terrible. You'd be surprised how fast they run out of battery at even the modest of listening levels.
I don't have my glasses yet, but from what I've read, pictures and video are stored on the glasses 32gb hdd, and you connect to the glasses own wifi and transfer them to the phone. So you could transfer without phone being connected to 4g/5g or home wifi.
@@chathurawimalaratne8560 so it can go up to 3 mins now. Which is kinda long I think. Once it stops, yes you’ll have to hit record button again. That’s bc so it’ll transfer over easily
Hi how long does it take for the 3 min video to upload to the phone? or is it immediate? I am asking because I want to take back to back videos. Or does the glasses have storage?
The glasses has storage (not sure how much) and then when it uploads to your phone, it's pretty fast.. no difference than if you were to "airdrop" something over to another device. Downfall is you have to keep the glasses on and the app open for it to finish the upload.
I've bought a pair of these glasses but on google it says that they should be made in Italy but the ones i purchase were made in China i bought them in a glasses shop does other people have this on their rayban glasses so were are your glasses made
Thanks for that!! I personally, went to Rayban first then had to go to my eye Dr office to get an updated prescription. You send that to Rayban and boom, they make it and send it over within a couple weeks.
I love them I got the dark brown wayfarers and the new Skyler light gray. I have them as transition prescription glasses . I love using them listening to music and TH-cam. I’m a nurse and don’t wear AirPod at work and no one know I’m listening to music! Rarely take pictures or video! But not great pictures. Otherwise I wear them as glasses and cost is fine compared to my other prescription Tom ford eyewear. Will continue to buy as AI is perfected!?
Anyone have any feedback on the transition lenses and driving? I hear the windsheild blocks majority of uv light ao they dint darken enough to replace sunglasses while driving. I want a pair but debating wheather or not to get the polarized or the transitions. I feel id mostly use them outdoors and while driving but may use them inside as well time to time. I was elaning towards transitions because its clear lenses indoors and sunglasses outdoors. Any one with feed back using transition lenses while driving
I have them for driving. It's very fast and effective when it comes to driving, personally I've had zero issues. CANT even tell when you go from outside to in the car. They're not so sensitive to if the sun is shining in WHEN you're in the car, that they'll transition. You have to be outside of the car and exposed to the sun for (what feels like) up to 60 sec. Hope that helps
They seem good. A big negative for me is the narrow view of the camera, which is in contrast to what my phone (and natural eyes) are capable of... in other words, I want the ability to have a landscape view. Thanks.
I get mine Thursday. They are prescription as well. I am excited about not having to ware earbuds at work to answer my phone. My eye center did have a buy one get one half off sale, so I bought another pair to use when not working or on vacation.
4:36- 1st option: Glasses /lanyard with battery built-in the cord with wireless charging. 2nd : battery 🔋 extension/clips on arms from the glasses or goes running along frame.
Do you think these would be a good accessability tool for some people with visual impairments? For example, if someone struggles with reading physical print, would this be a good tool? Also thanks for making a great review!
Hmm, I think so.. maybe not right now as the software is meant for that but I think eventually they're work on rolling out updates to help with impairments like that. Right now it CAN translate signs for you (for ex: Italian to English) so that's pretty cool.
I kind of like them as I am a long time ray ban person but I have bad vision and need progressive readers as well. I know LensCrafters can hook me up, but I am concerned with durability and cost of they don’t last. I agree the price is quite affordable and i compared to the actual wayfarer and it is remarkably close.
This is the best review for any of the new smart glasses that I've seen yet. I really appreciate the perspective of someone who also has prescription glasses. I'm curious if you think the fit is universal. I've seen some frames with this style cause problems pushing against people's ears and I'm worried about the potential for that being an issue.
I appreciate that! Thx so much, hope you can SUB to the channel! And absolutely it's a universal fit (from what I've seen/heard). Just like sunglasses they're very comfortable for MOST folks
Just watched your video. It's a really good video! Kudos!! I honestly love the idea of these glasses! I would love to get a pair for fishing when a fish is hooked to re-live the moment. Do you think they'll ever make them with longer than one minute recording capability? It's a fantastic hands free option for a go pro instead of having a giant contraption strapped up. Or is there anything on the market with this capability that you know of?
Thanks for that! They're a lot of fun.... and actually, a new update JUST came in to where you can now record UP TO 3 MINUTES! So for me, these are epic!
@@theberardo I would hope to record a memory of catching a fish that would take longer than 3 minutes to land 😂 I guess I'll have to stick with the old GoPro for the time being.

@@OptimumServices416 haha 🤣 yea then a go pro might be a better bet. Good news tho, when you reel it in - you could say “meta start video” and record video hands-free so you can control everything that way. Pretty cool!
@@theberardo that's actually awesome!! If only we could do that today with a GoPro I'd be happy with that lol!! Thx for the info! I think I'm going to keep my eyes on this for newer updates of this! Cause seriously looks like something that's perfect for my needs!
These glasses are AMAZING, I’ve had them for about a month (transcended ones) but the fact that they have a creeper status, I would only wear them a few times during the week. I wouldn’t wear them to work because I wouldn’t want my coworkers to think I’m a creeper. 😂. Like seriously. Imagine your coworker having these and you don’t know nothing about technology (which many people don’t). I used to put em on everywhere, now I only put em on a few times a week, definitely not at work. 😂
@@bogdanmarcu135 not right now, everything is done custom. With Ray Ban
2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
I bought them in Spain, and RayBan doesn't even sell them with prescription, and don't support changing the lenses... but I found a web store in the UK which can make any lenses you want for the Rayban Metas, normal, transition, xtractive transition, with or without prescription, etc... it's called Lensology and it seems to work very well from what I've seen ... you will have to change the lenses yourself or send them to do it.. .but changing the lenses is extremely easy... just a little pressure and the lens goes out and in... there's tons of videos in TH-cam on how to do it... and you will save a lot of money... Opticians in my country charged me about twice of what I'm paying
What are the differences between theWayfarer,skyler,headliner models. I went to lens crafters at my local mall and it seems like they didn't know either.
Its just the style, no other differences (from what I've researched) - personally the Wayfarer, what I have, is the more traditional Rayban you might be used to and I THINK, it's the best
They smart glasses have created a lot of interest in the blind community, as the photograph description is very useful to the visually impaired. The meta artificial intelligence aspect is not available in the UK, so if a British person buys them, they have to go onto a vpn and choose the United States option then open up the meta app and the artificial intelligence part of the glasses will come on. And then you just go back and close the VPN down, and your phone knows it’s back in the UK if this makes any sense.
I’m blind and own a Guide Dog (Seeing Eye Dog for US audience). I know the glasses are accessible with iPhone and Voiceover. My use case will mainly be capturing taxi refusals I encounter with my Guide Dog, it’s against tthe law to refuse in both the UK and US so no arguments please. Is it obvious to people you are recording them? I do tell drivers I am if they try to refuse and that I’ll use the footage for evidence. I’m thinking that if people can see thy are in record mode, it might actually act as a deterrent and I may get less refusals. I have other ruse cases too but, if anyone can helpfully answer this I’d be really grateful.
@@vipodcasting yeah that’s a great point, and it is kind of obvious that you’re recording people as there is a light that goes on, but if people don’t know the technology, then they won’t know the difference Overall, I think there is some proven that need to be made, but it’s pretty great
Make a Video about your hopes for these. Landscape Mode. Maybe pro glasses with two cameras that can merge Images with ai for big landscape Mode or 3D Capture. Better battery life.
Maybe online.. 🧐 but personally I went to the RAY BAN retail store and then got fitted, tried on the pair - then went to the eye doctor to get an updated prescription, then I emailed that to ray ban store
@@theberardo Very informative, thank you!!! I might be getting some for my dad and he’ll need prescription ones so I appreciate you helping me. Also, your quality of content is phenomenal for a small channel, you just earned a subscriber. Keep it up 🙂↕️
They were awesome unti.... I got the android 14 update, and the phone function won't work. I've tried everything, restarted, factory reset, got in touch with customer service. They said there is an issue with the android update and they are working on it. So now what? I gotta wait till they create a fix, or worse wait for the next update a billion years? Not good meta. Not good google. These weren't cheap, and now a function that's there, that I cannot use makes me want to take them back and get my money returned. Everything works great except that. Anyone else having this issue????
@@theberardo interesting. can it work similar to Apple Watch? Like, is there a music application storage inside the meta Ray-Bans smart glasses where you don’t have to rely on your smartphone connection to Bluetooth to listen to music, podcast, or any audio from afar?
@@juanguevara2846 there is not. I would say it’s more like a Bluetooth headset than anything, because it has a lot of extra features like one-touch to play music and meta AI.. but it’s no smart watch 😉 (yet)
So I have a lot of questions regarding this. Anyone here can answer those. 1. I'm going join a medical school as an undergraduate doing mbbs for a span of 5.5 years and I want to make content regarding practicals that we do like testing blood group, cheakin stuffs in microscope, taking classes, moving around in the hospital and doing various stuffs. Will it be the best for me to invest like 350 dollars on this. I'm asking this because most med students do vlogs but in most case that are not of pov one. They either use an iphone which I think isn't better than this as a fpv perspective. 2. I'm currently using power lenses so can I change or can the company give power glasses attached to the specs instead of making it a sunglasses. And I can't see things way clear without my glasses so if it provides power glasses then that would be awesome. 3. How long can we record? As said in this video it's 1 minutes and that's fine for yt shorts. Give me further suggestions and if possible tell me how can I get it into India
Personally these might work good for you. I will say this is an older video I did and sense then they've updated the software to record up to 3 mins. ALL by handsfree so you just say "meta record video" - which means if you're hands are full you can start and stop video by voice. Overall, I have little complaints about these and think they're the closest / best thing we need in the space.
Great question, I don't think you "have to" but it'll prob auto-create one as you need to have a log in to save things. But technically I think you can get away without having one
1.Visually impaired children are partially blind. 2..They cannot see very well. 3..If they can wear glasses with AI features that can talk back to them plus also take photos and videos which they they can download and access later their lives would be tremendously improved. 4.But if the glasses are too big for their faces this can't be done. Here is a suggestion for you: Tie some dirty cling film, or clear wrap, around your face and eyes so you don't see very well. Then see if using smart glasses with AI features plus ability to take pictures and videos would help you.
@@ishyandmikkischannel8811 I get you. From a business standpoint, that would be profitable for meta to revolve the glasses around a small group like I think you’re referring too. These guys are in it for the money unfortunately. Great idea for improvements but I wouldn’t hold your breath on Meta making these steps.
@@theberardo Rayban Metafarer already compares favourably to smart glasses costing 2k and above for the visually impaired. The market isn't small and since in the US at least the costs will be picked up at Federal and State level there will likely be a high percentage o visually impaired people getting it.
@@theberardo yes, not through ray ban ofcourse, I went to an independent optometry, got my formula and they told me they have changed several times the lenses on rayban meta glasses. I got mine changed last week and the glasses are working perfectly.
I hate portrait mode videos. Let the user choose what format to use! Some like portrait, some like landscape. But to force portrait upon everybody.. No deal.
@theberardo So, you said video capture is limited to 60 seconds I was wondering if that carried over to video calling, or can you show unlimited video while video calling?
I’m looking into getting a pair soon. I use prescription eyeglasses can I go and change the lens on these Ray Bans Smart glasses and will they work if I change the lens to prescription lens.
Maybe it's because of the lens grade. He seem to have a high eye grade that requires thicker lenses, therefore creating the white lines on the edges. There's a tech that trims down the thickness of the lens that would cost extra, but I doubt if there's a similar option in rayban's website
Battery life actually isn't bad IF you disable Hey Meta feature. With this and listening 40% or lower volume I get right around 4 hours straight bluetooth audio. My hope, is that next gen we get a substantial boost to battery life. I think 8 hours use would be would I would prefer over more "performance". I am sure by next gen silicon comes out they can get closer to that number. That being said, they charge VERY fast. About 15 minutes from dead to full is my average. At most I have seen it take 20 minutes. Now that AI has gotten so much better, I found myself using these features WAYYYYY more. From simple questions to more complex requests. I firmly believe, these are the first step towards usable XR glasses. Imagine being able to be fed real time visual data on certain things like natural translation (someone speaking to you in spanish and the glasses relaying in english what's being said). If we could fit all of that plus hands free apps I use on a daily basis into these I would drop my iPhone in an instant! I hate relying on a phone and could see myself using a smartwatch and smart glasses to stay connected.
Good question! TOTALLY CLEAR... I'm using them in this entire video (to give you an idea) then when you got outside they're like actually shades (more references in first video) Hope that helps!
I don’t get the hype, why are all these reviews so positive, the audio quality, while not bad, it’s subpar, listening to music is just painfully bad, especially if you compare them to AirPods. Always portrait camera is like yeah only good for a quick post to social media, and the new AI capability, really I can see that I’m looking to a pond with grass … I know, I know it can do more clever stuff like telling something interesting about a building or so … at least they are OK sunglasses and a relative ok handsfree headset … But I prefer my Pilot sunglasses from Ray-Ban and AirPods, 10 times over …
@@theberardo Huh? Visually impaired children are partially blind. They cannot see very well. If they can wear glasses with AI features that can talk back to them plus also take photos and videos which they they can download and access later their lives would be tremendously improved. But if the glasses are too big for their faces this can't be done. I'm not sure why you don't understand.

@@theberardo if I want to see through camera and use zoom .. do you know which glasses good for that .. I want to see in screen glasses through camera zoom for far away things.. thank you for help
Was that really cool for it to tell u there’s a lake there… if it told you the name of the lake or the size of facts AI …won’t be killing us all just yet
How gon put the camera as a pro then turn around and say they’re not as good as an iPhone camera? Mixed feelings. Another guy reviewed these and actually took a pic with the glasses and one with an iPhone 14 side by side and the glasses photo came out immaculate vs the iPhone so…
Ugh… I’m confused. It’s not mixed. I said it’s a good camera and have video of the glasses throughout. But pointing out the specs aren’t as good as an iPhone. It’s not an iPhone review video 🤔 Sooooo
Asking AI what you're looking at while not being blind seem very gimmicky? If you don't know what you can see then you have bigger problems than a pair of smart glasses... IJS Translating languages makes sense or being able to summarize text or extract specific data from a paragraph or locate a item for sale by image alone or identify an ingredient by looking at label would be actually useful. If you can perform them type of tasks that would be helpful.
These things are HORRIBLE. Mine worked about 2 months, then could not download images. Some update to either phone or glasses broke the connection. Lost ALL photos and glasses NO LONGER connect. RayBan technical support is clueless. Reading scripts and providing no support. Meta support does not even exist. Reddit has hundreds of horror stories about connection issues and losing photos. Avoid like the plague.
On Tin Kuk's watch, I doubt it. Even though it is a fashion item, Tin Kuk is too elitist, probably would sell them with a higher price if he pulls it thru.
Vertical format killed this for me. If it would have had even horizontal 4:3 format I would be interested, but TikTok Instagram bubble world doesn't interest me nor anyone serious on this planet. Wish the people of Gaza had these so they could be filming the genocide without risking their lives though.
Why are they calling these "smart glasses"? Just glasses with a camera and headphones that connect to your "smart" device by bluetooth. They hsve no native "smart"...just a marketing buzzword imo. Camera glasses with built in headphones.
@@oldgoldtopgoldtop6039 why do we call a smartphone, a “smart phone” Because it’s not just a “phone” I would guess that’s why these are called smart glasses. And they’re smarter than my regular ray bans.
@@theberardo I think they began to be called a smartphone becsuse they have a brain as in computer OS and different from previous cell phones that may have had cameras. An old flip phone has a camera but is not a smart phone. There are other actual smart glasses that run on android and perhaps other OS too.
Just a heads up reviews online are very bad and mostly you need to be a creator or have a child brain and not know a single thing for these to be useful I am waiting for model 2 or 3 meta add a text screen or basic apps
Hmm, interesting. Are you saying THIS review is bad? lol I'm confused by your comment. So you're justing going to wait for version 2 or 3 to buy these?
There's a light on the front that indicates when you are recording. I actually think these would be great when making videos of other things, like when going to a museum or riding a bike (two use cases I would personally use them for). Besides, there are enough creepers around that record everything and don't care if you're in their videos. And I live in a one-party state, so not much anyone can do about that.

What model of Rayy Ban do you have on?
@@cyberfirstsolutions these are the Wayfarers
These glasses are AMAZING, I’ve had them for about a month (transcended ones) but the fact that they have a creeper status, I would only wear them a few times during the week. I wouldn’t wear them to work because I wouldn’t want my coworkers to think I’m a creeper. 😂. Like seriously. Imagine your coworker having these and you don’t know nothing about technology (which many people don’t). I used to put em on everywhere, now I only put em on a few times a week, definitely not at work. 😂

Great video I am going to purchase a pair. I will need prescription lenses as well salute!
@@amaraslogic noise!! Enjoy comeback and lmk what you think!
Hey say i wanna buy the non prescription now but later wanna switch is that possible?
@@theberardo I also have the same question, can I buy the non prescription lenses and have them changed at my optician?
@@bogdanmarcu135 not right now, everything is done custom. With Ray Ban
I bought them in Spain, and RayBan doesn't even sell them with prescription, and don't support changing the lenses... but I found a web store in the UK which can make any lenses you want for the Rayban Metas, normal, transition, xtractive transition, with or without prescription, etc... it's called Lensology and it seems to work very well from what I've seen ... you will have to change the lenses yourself or send them to do it.. .but changing the lenses is extremely easy... just a little pressure and the lens goes out and in... there's tons of videos in TH-cam on how to do it... and you will save a lot of money... Opticians in my country charged me about twice of what I'm paying
What are the differences between theWayfarer,skyler,headliner models. I went to lens crafters at my local mall and it seems like they didn't know either.
Its just the style, no other differences (from what I've researched) - personally the Wayfarer, what I have, is the more traditional Rayban you might be used to and I THINK, it's the best
@theberardo I was at lenscrafter yesterday and I tried them all on and I think I like the version of frames that are more squarish
Can AI it identify like well known structures or buildings and tell you what they are?
with the new update... YES! and it's amazing
If they got stolen, can be track like I Phone???
Hmmm, good question - to my knowledge. No I dont' think you can
They smart glasses have created a lot of interest in the blind community, as the photograph description is very useful to the visually impaired.
The meta artificial intelligence aspect is not available in the UK, so if a British person buys them, they have to go onto a vpn and choose the United States option then open up the meta app and the artificial intelligence part of the glasses will come on. And then you just go back and close the VPN down, and your phone knows it’s back in the UK if this makes any sense.
That would be an amazing feature they need to implement
I wish they put another camera on the other side and let you record 3d videos which you can watch on quest 3 🎉
Yeahhhhh that would be dope
amazing video im glad i found ur channel, congrats on being a new father, love for morocco
Yo, thanks for that. Appreciate ya… more good videos to come!!
are there yellow tints for this? or gradient colors? would love if they have different colors
Good question, you’d have to look on the website, but they are coming out with new colors and styles all the time ☀️
I was told today by a technician only grad green/grey (black) no blue/red
@@ubtube1042 😥ok thanks 😥😥😥
@@ubtube1042 Hmm, interesting! Okay thanks for that!
I’m blind and own a Guide Dog (Seeing Eye Dog for US audience). I know the glasses are accessible with iPhone and Voiceover.
My use case will mainly be capturing taxi refusals I encounter with my Guide Dog, it’s against tthe law to refuse in both the UK and US so no arguments please.
Is it obvious to people you are recording them? I do tell drivers I am if they try to refuse and that I’ll use the footage for evidence.
I’m thinking that if people can see thy are in record mode, it might actually act as a deterrent and I may get less refusals.
I have other ruse cases too but, if anyone can helpfully answer this I’d be really grateful.
@@vipodcasting yeah that’s a great point, and it is kind of obvious that you’re recording people as there is a light that goes on, but if people don’t know the technology, then they won’t know the difference
Overall, I think there is some proven that need to be made, but it’s pretty great
Make a Video about your hopes for these.
Landscape Mode.
Maybe pro glasses with two cameras that can merge Images with ai for big landscape Mode or 3D Capture.
Better battery life.
How did you get them as a prescription?!
Maybe online.. 🧐 but personally I went to the RAY BAN retail store and then got fitted, tried on the pair - then went to the eye doctor to get an updated prescription, then I emailed that to ray ban store

They were awesome unti....
I got the android 14 update, and the phone function won't work.
I've tried everything, restarted, factory reset, got in touch with customer service. They said there is an issue with the android update and they are working on it. So now what? I gotta wait till they create a fix, or worse wait for the next update a billion years? Not good meta. Not good google. These weren't cheap, and now a function that's there, that I cannot use makes me want to take them back and get my money returned. Everything works great except that. Anyone else having this issue????
@@Nitrous-ej5zy hmm 🤔 wild, yea I got an iPhone. Switch back man
Picture quality sucks at night but is surprisingly OK during the day... as sunglasses are meant for being worn during the day
Yeah it's def not a phone by any means. Needs a lot of work but still pretty cool and better than competitors - no?
Question, how far can the Bluetooth connect from your smartphone through listening to music ?
Good question, I've only tested out about 10ft.. but I'm sure it's just as good as maybe AirPods, BT headset etc
@@theberardo interesting. can it work similar to Apple Watch? Like, is there a music application storage inside the meta Ray-Bans smart glasses where you don’t have to rely on your smartphone connection to Bluetooth to listen to music, podcast, or any audio from afar?
@@juanguevara2846 there is not. I would say it’s more like a Bluetooth headset than anything, because it has a lot of extra features like one-touch to play music and meta AI.. but it’s no smart watch 😉 (yet)
@@theberardo dam is not there. I wouldn’t consider the smart glasses an investment yet. 😅 thanks for the information.
So I have a lot of questions regarding this. Anyone here can answer those.
1. I'm going join a medical school as an undergraduate doing mbbs for a span of 5.5 years and I want to make content regarding practicals that we do like testing blood group, cheakin stuffs in microscope, taking classes, moving around in the hospital and doing various stuffs. Will it be the best for me to invest like 350 dollars on this. I'm asking this because most med students do vlogs but in most case that are not of pov one. They either use an iphone which I think isn't better than this as a fpv perspective.
2. I'm currently using power lenses so can I change or can the company give power glasses attached to the specs instead of making it a sunglasses. And I can't see things way clear without my glasses so if it provides power glasses then that would be awesome.
3. How long can we record? As said in this video it's 1 minutes and that's fine for yt shorts.
Give me further suggestions and if possible tell me how can I get it into India
Personally these might work good for you. I will say this is an older video I did and sense then they've updated the software to record up to 3 mins. ALL by handsfree so you just say "meta record video" - which means if you're hands are full you can start and stop video by voice.
Overall, I have little complaints about these and think they're the closest / best thing we need in the space.
@@theberardo can I change the lenses as I'm using a regular power specs as I have vision problem?
Do you have to have a facebook account to use these??
Great question, I don't think you "have to" but it'll prob auto-create one as you need to have a log in to save things. But technically I think you can get away without having one
@@theberardo Thanks for the reply
@@leweezo33 😉❤️
Good for bird watching these is no doubt about that but the big question is were are they made in China and Italy because I'm concerned about that
What happens when you’re wearing them at a border crossing?
Are there any new updates ones coming out? Soon?
Not sure about future updates, but I just launched one last month that is 🔥
1.Visually impaired children are partially blind.
2..They cannot see very well.
3..If they can wear glasses with AI features that can talk back to them plus also take photos and videos which they they can download and access later their lives would be tremendously improved.
4.But if the glasses are too big for their faces this can't be done.
Here is a suggestion for you:
Tie some dirty cling film, or clear wrap, around your face and eyes so you don't see very well. Then see if using smart glasses with AI features plus ability to take pictures and videos would help you.
@@ishyandmikkischannel8811 I get you. From a business standpoint, that would be profitable for meta to revolve the glasses around a small group like I think you’re referring too.
These guys are in it for the money unfortunately.
Great idea for improvements but I wouldn’t hold your breath on Meta making these steps.
@@theberardo Rayban Metafarer already compares favourably to smart glasses costing 2k and above for the visually impaired. The market isn't small and since in the US at least the costs will be picked up at Federal and State level there will likely be a high percentage o visually impaired people getting it.

@@gorpand 🤔 Portrait Mode? On the glasses??
Is the video calling also capped at 60 seconds?
Huh?
@theberardo So, you said video capture is limited to 60 seconds I was wondering if that carried over to video calling, or can you show unlimited video while video calling?
What size are your glasses?
@@Pipe.007 🧐 not sure actually… I went to the store and grabbed the “wayfarer”
@@theberardocan you buy and send me one if i pay u plz?
I’m looking into getting a pair soon. I use prescription eyeglasses can I go and change the lens on these Ray Bans Smart glasses and will they work if I change the lens to prescription lens.
Mine are prescription - they're great!
How long can it record a video?
When I recorded THIS video it was 60 secs... but I think with the new update it's 3 minutes! + YOU CAN GO LIVE!
Hey man, nice video how has your channel? Not got that many people this channel is wicked keep up the great work
Thx it’s a new channel, working on it… appreciate ya.
Is it normal to have the white edge line on the lenses?
@@roymendoza4351 hmm 🤔 not familiar with that, I don’t have that
@theberardo Thanks for your prompt response, I got the metas but my prescription lenses have this weird frost white line around the lenses.
@@roymendoza4351 🤔 that is odd. Def reach out to them - come back, I’m curious
Maybe it's because of the lens grade. He seem to have a high eye grade that requires thicker lenses, therefore creating the white lines on the edges. There's a tech that trims down the thickness of the lens that would cost extra, but I doubt if there's a similar option in rayban's website
@@shey2510 ☺️ yeahhh that makes sense. Thx for that
If they put AR features in it I'm sold
Hell yea!!!
Battery life actually isn't bad IF you disable Hey Meta feature. With this and listening 40% or lower volume I get right around 4 hours straight bluetooth audio. My hope, is that next gen we get a substantial boost to battery life. I think 8 hours use would be would I would prefer over more "performance". I am sure by next gen silicon comes out they can get closer to that number. That being said, they charge VERY fast. About 15 minutes from dead to full is my average. At most I have seen it take 20 minutes. Now that AI has gotten so much better, I found myself using these features WAYYYYY more. From simple questions to more complex requests. I firmly believe, these are the first step towards usable XR glasses. Imagine being able to be fed real time visual data on certain things like natural translation (someone speaking to you in spanish and the glasses relaying in english what's being said). If we could fit all of that plus hands free apps I use on a daily basis into these I would drop my iPhone in an instant! I hate relying on a phone and could see myself using a smartwatch and smart glasses to stay connected.
Yeah true... overall the pros out weigh the cons but it's got work to do
does anyone know how to record on landscape?
I think the ratio is set and you can't change it (from what I've seen)
It only shoots vertically. If they create a pair that shoots 16:9 I think they will do well.
@@BlackQueenPhotog true 💯
Hi.
What size are your glasses? 50 or 53?
Hmm, good question. I'm not sure, don't remember seeing that "sizing" anywhere but these are the "wayfarer"
I have the Meta glasses, but the AI does not work?? The AI does not show in the app. I´m from Finland so maybe thats the case?
Thought I responded to this.... but I'd look into the META update, should be good now. Right?
Is there a tint on them indoors? Or do they get totally clear?
Good question! TOTALLY CLEAR... I'm using them in this entire video (to give you an idea) then when you got outside they're like actually shades (more references in first video)
Hope that helps!
NIIICE! THX BRO!
For sure - hope you enjoyed it! More to come ;)
I don’t get the hype, why are all these reviews so positive, the audio quality, while not bad, it’s subpar, listening to music is just painfully bad, especially if you compare them to AirPods. Always portrait camera is like yeah only good for a quick post to social media, and the new AI capability, really I can see that I’m looking to a pond with grass … I know, I know it can do more clever stuff like telling something interesting about a building or so … at least they are OK sunglasses and a relative ok handsfree headset … But I prefer my Pilot sunglasses from Ray-Ban and AirPods, 10 times over …
@@yvesvandenbroek6055 well, if you’re into POV shots this doesn’t get much better. There’s cons but more pros FOR SURE

A friend told me if you take them out in the sun you can see if they are fake or not
Are those the Wayfarers? And what size is that frame?

How gon put the camera as a pro then turn around and say they’re not as good as an iPhone camera? Mixed feelings. Another guy reviewed these and actually took a pic with the glasses and one with an iPhone 14 side by side and the glasses photo came out immaculate vs the iPhone so…
Ugh… I’m confused. It’s not mixed. I said it’s a good camera and have video of the glasses throughout. But pointing out the specs aren’t as good as an iPhone.
It’s not an iPhone review video 🤔 Sooooo
Asking AI what you're looking at while not being blind seem very gimmicky? If you don't know what you can see then you have bigger problems than a pair of smart glasses... IJS Translating languages makes sense or being able to summarize text or extract specific data from a paragraph or locate a item for sale by image alone or identify an ingredient by looking at label would be actually useful.

Why are they calling these "smart glasses"? Just glasses with a camera and headphones that connect to your "smart" device by bluetooth. They hsve no native "smart"...just a marketing buzzword imo. Camera glasses with built in headphones.
@@oldgoldtopgoldtop6039 why do we call a smartphone, a “smart phone”
Because it’s not just a “phone” I would guess that’s why these are called smart glasses. And they’re smarter than my regular ray bans.

So you're justing going to wait for version 2 or 3 to buy these?
Another con is that they’re ugly. Great product but they should come in different styles like club master

There's a light on the front that indicates when you are recording. I actually think these would be great when making videos of other things, like when going to a museum or riding a bike (two use cases I would personally use them for). Besides, there are enough creepers around that record everything and don't care if you're in their videos. And I live in a one-party state, so not much anyone can do about that.
