I wish they worked better for me. I originally bought the larger frame with the dark gray lenses. But I found the frames to be slipping down and having to adjust often just from minor face oil/sweat and scrunching my nose, which I would often because the lenses just aren't tinted dark enough for me, and I think the extra weight/bulk doesn't help. So I returned them and bought the normal frame with transition green lenses. While they never slid down at all, they would he uncomfortable after like half an hour due to being too tight, so sold them to a friend. Another problem is the transition lenses had a ton of glare when clear, made looking at any screen or light source have tons of lense flares, especially at night. Given the smart nature of these, you'll want to use them not just outside on sunny days, but at night, indoors, and while using your phone. But for that it needs to transition and have no glare.
I am planning on getting these in Transition with prescription lenses and will be able to use my HSA to cover the $500 cost. That's one option if you need prescription glasses.
One of the coolest reviews for these that I've seen yet. Love the mic to the arm to be able to hear exactly what you were as well. I just received my first pair today and have been playing with them all afternoon. I've got the Matte frames right now but after your video and looking at some other product shots in more detail I'm thinkin' that Shiny might be the way to go..... Decisions decisions.
I agree it's so much faster and convenient to take photos and videos with these glasses. I have a separate Playlist on my TH-cam channel for videos shot on my RayBan Meta glasses. The only downside, though, is the battery life, which I find too short.
7:18 just a heads up, mine died after only about 20 minutes into a drizzle. It’s been over a month waiting to even hear back if RB will fix them or not. So annoyed tbh.
@@LeeZavitz Yes, in order to use vision insurance, you need to get prescription lenses. I wear contacts now, so I will be having the optician swap out the lenses to non prescription sunglass lenses when they arrive.
Hell yeah, just got a set off FB Market place for 150.00 after watching this video. Loving them thanks. Mine have clear lens with blue light protection. Will be using for doing product reviews.
I got my Ray-Ban Meta (prescribed) last Friday (October 25th) as I had my Ray-Ban Stories (gen 1) for 2 years. I was due for an update. Wearing gen 2 fits fine than gen 1 as it was loose at times. I find I have trouble positioning where to shoot the photos. I haven't done videos yet.
If you put it on your shirt verticaly, will it work? I would like to use it for 16:9 landscape video. I was looking for this idea on TH-cam but nobody ever covered it, im really surprised.
Probably. I was thinking of buying another pair to use as my good pair. And then try to take these old ones apart and rotate the camera to shoot horizontal lol
It would work, but you would have to cover the sensor that makes you think you are wearing them. Usually a piece of tape works. Someone did show it in a video somewhere, but I couldn’t tell you who.
I love mine, but I noticed that nearly ALL 256GB on my phone storage were used up by the Meta app...once I deleted the app, I nearly had ALL of my memory back on my phone...anyone else with this issue?
I'm a pro photographer and am thinking of purchasing these almose solely for the video feature to record bts video, etc. I don't typically shoot with sunglasses on, even outside-have you had any second thoughts about purchasing the sunglasses as opposed to the clear glasses version?
Can you create video comparison Sony A7 IV vs Canon EOS R6 Mark II? Sony A7 IV vs Canon 5D Mark IV? Canon EOS R6 Mark II vs Canon 5D Mark IV? Nikon D5 vs Sony A7 IV? Nikon D5 vs Canon EOS R6 Mark II? Nikon D5 vs Canon 5D Mark IV? Nikon Z8 vs Canon EOS R6 Mark II? Nikon Z8 vs Sony A7 IV? Nikon Z8 vs Canon 5D Mark IV?
We are getting closer and closer to neural connection with Artificial Intelligence. There is nothing better than using glasses like this... The problem is that it starts reading my thoughts LoL
It would be nice if you can video and landscape mode. Also, if there was a way to stop that light from coming on, that’s ridiculous. Has nothing to do with privacy when you’re in public there is no privacy.
Everyone already has a phone with cameras and gps tracking them everywhere. Look up. Every street corner and building has cameras. It’s impossible to escape at this point. At least the glasses have a white blinking led when is recording.
A friend of mine was attacked for wearing these recently. The glasses were swiped off his face and thrown into the river below. Certainly made me think twice about buying a pair. Maybe they could conceal the lens behind a polarised filter?
why whould i need more then 3 minutes? stopping watch video right here. that's not your business why! maybe just fir the fact you are constantly in stress when these 3 minutes run out or not???? as we all know 3 minutes its sometimes like and hr and then sometimes its like a 30 seconds ! 👎
I bought a pair for myself for Christmas I can’t wait till Christmas morning to start using them. I am a crazy tech guy. Loved your video
Awesome review! Just ordered mine a few days ago and can't wait to get it tomorrow!
Yess

2:41 thanks for this update Yoo! I didn’t know the 3mins longer vids let’s go! I get mine today
Let’s gooo
Love this!! You inspired me to use mine more
Haha you made a guest appearance in this video 😎
@@LeeZavitz I am here 😎
@@LeeZavitz Now you need to pay @juliatrotti royalties!!! xD
@@LeeZavitz good old rainy Azores!

Yeah if you are using them a lot they die fast.
7:18 just a heads up, mine died after only about 20 minutes into a drizzle. It’s been over a month waiting to even hear back if RB will fix them or not. So annoyed tbh.
Crazy. I was in down pour rain for an entire day and had no issues. I’ve also had them in rain other times. Maybe it’s just luck?
@@LeeZavitz for sure. I have no idea what did it, but they never turned back on. Bizarre
In my opinion I am a big guy on memory, I really would need it to stay recording for a long time. Capturing every moment is important
Just ordered mine using my vision insurance. $96 bucks is worth it for me!
Amazing. I assume you got prescriptions?
@@LeeZavitz Yes, in order to use vision insurance, you need to get prescription lenses. I wear contacts now, so I will be having the optician swap out the lenses to non prescription sunglass lenses when they arrive.

Thanks for clarifying that, Pete. For an old (65) fart like me, clear lens would be better.
Just got the polarized version, super happy with it although feels limited. I’m really curious about the new updates for the meta wayfarer.
Please advice, could it be used as a spy headphones? To pass an exam ?
Waiting on mine with script to come in and really can’t wait when I’m fishing in kayak to be able to make a quick video or pic hands free.
Oh man, for kayaking they will be amazing. One of the many ways hands free filming for pov will look awesome!
This makes me want to buy some now
I want these so bad 😂😭
Super handy for reels
I got 2 pair I’ll sell you one
Nice review. Definitely gonna get one for me! Thanks!
Wootwoot
I Sale and made covers to cover that led blinking light only works when video record though. Great video
Another great review man.
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Are those the green lenses?
I just realized that I dont have follow you on IG! But don’t worry On my way! Thank you for your videos 😎
I got my Ray-Ban Meta (prescribed) last Friday (October 25th) as I had my Ray-Ban Stories (gen 1) for 2 years. I was due for an update. Wearing gen 2 fits fine than gen 1 as it was loose at times.
I find I have trouble positioning where to shoot the photos. I haven't done videos yet.
So can i use them to play music from TH-cam music or not
Yep! They are literally like Bluetooth headphones. Anything you can do with those you can do with these
interested to know what the photo is like when you are a wearing a cap. I ALWAYS wear a cap. Does the peak show in the top of the photos and videos?
I’ve worn my hat forward and had no issue with the peak showing. Maybe if you had it pulled down more you might see just the edge
Thanks what tripod and ball head did you use for main camera?
Falcam treeroot amzn.to/3AqbJDr
Waiting for them to arrive. It's a struggle here where I am to get them.
Can you see the time through the lenses?
Oh man just for a second I thought we will appear on the boat all of us seasick....😂😂
Haha some how I was completely fine. No seasickness
@@LeeZavitz Lucky you 😭
Is there an option with the video camera on the right side
No it’s only on your left eye. The right eye is sensor and led light
very cool device!
I love mine. I was an OG Google Glass Explorer and all the Snapchat Spectacles. This is way better.
100%
If you put it on your shirt verticaly, will it work?
I would like to use it for 16:9 landscape video.

@@LeeZavitz how about glasses hung on the collar of a T-shirt? Would it work?
It would work, but you would have to cover the sensor that makes you think you are wearing them. Usually a piece of tape works. Someone did show it in a video somewhere, but I couldn’t tell you who.
If you were to get them again, would you get them in with clear screens or dark again?
Dark. I want them as sunglasses
i hope some company makes smart glasses that dont try to be subtle in design and instead go full on cyberpunk
I don’t hate that idea. Like PitViper style smart glasses haha
I love mine, but I noticed that nearly ALL 256GB on my phone storage were used up by the Meta app...once I deleted the app, I nearly had ALL of my memory back on my phone...anyone else with this issue?
Dang You must use them a lot.
@@LeeZavitz nope. Only when I walk out driving. But driving is just for the sunglasses part. 🤷
Can it take a picture and answer it?
hey guys, it's dope! I have a question, does it have a chat memory and remember previous chats?
i want to order exactly size like you.. what size is itt
XL they don’t make it that size anymore
when is meta-AI coming to other countries? cause as of not it says i cant do that in ur phone. Please reply
I'm a pro photographer and am thinking of purchasing these almose solely for the video feature to record bts video, etc. I don't typically shoot with sunglasses on, even outside-have you had any second thoughts about purchasing the sunglasses as opposed to the clear glasses version?
I thought the latest update you didn’t have to say “look” in the phrase?
Have you ever test r5 mark ii ?
4:42 how we get to the voices ?
Nice content
What does the meta view app look like on the iPad mini??
lol I have no idea
@@LeeZavitz 😭
You could download it and look without connecting glasses
@kingmouseofficial6488 i don't own one yet... im getting the raybans. Im just trying to figure out if ill be happy switching to apple

Mine are all scratched up haha
Yeah mine are all scratched and dirty. But they’ve been everywhere lol
Thinking about buying them too 😂 but cannot decide..m another dji drone or glasses 😅
Tough choice, but also two very different uses lol
@LeeZavitz very true 💥 😅
Their new DJI Neo for $200 is too cool. I have the RBM glasses and I love them also. I might have to get the Neo now.😂
@ShaunMcDngh 😅 hard choice hehe. I already have dji air 3. Absolutely love it! Thinking about neo or avata 2. Or need more money for both 😅😂😂
The timing of this video is perfect. I have $400 of benefits to use on glasses and I know where that money is going. ;)
I only have 150$ still getting them😎
7:17 i saw Julia Trotti
Yeah! We were in the Azores earlier this year
@@LeeZavitz wow I guessed right !!! Both of U I subscribed
So these aren't that much larger than my regular Ray-Bans. Interesting.
You kept saying Wayfair! But thanks for the info.
Great review
That’s crazy dawg can I borrow some money
LM guess you drive a telsa
I drive a 2008 Honda Element
Influenced? You couldn’t influence the dog to outside
True
Society will go to new depths! Zero privacy

@ everything you said is true, minus the no escaping it.

Like for recording?
For filming?
Bro gaslighting the viewers into thinking knowing what kind of tree that is is useful information...
What if the tree was poisonous.. some trees are in some states
To somebody that could be very important and that's what he was getting at.
its useful to someone surely
It’s useful for me as a woodworking enthusiast. I usually taking pictures of leaves and tree barks to study it for later.
You’re gaslighting saying that this dude is gaslighting. “Hey Meta, tell this boy to calm down.”
No they won't because I won't buy any I'm saving my money because I'm not wealthy like everyone else is

So great that you say the worthless word “actually” so often. It adds a lot!!!!!
lol I never said I was good as speaking.
Make your own channel so we can hear how to speak properly.
So great that you made a useless comment on a helpful video!
