I just returned my polarized because it would limit my use indoors (conferences, restaurants, bars etc). If you drive a lot I could see that being a deciding factor but if you're a city dweller without a car, I think the transition is the way to go.
I live in the US and here you can order the Ray Ban Meta glasses with Xtractive transition lenses. They get darker than standard transition lenses and darken behind the windshield.
I have the transition lenses in mine, but I heard that all transitions have that issue when driving. I'm ok with that though. I agree with the other commenter that I'm glad I didn't just get shades as I would only use them a fraction of the time as my normal glasses.
You literally hit everything I found out by exchanging my polarized sunglasses for the transitions so I could wear them at night. Not sure if I’ll change baxk
I got the standard polarized version and I can’t use them inside or at night. Now I am searching for some transition lenses to replace them. Any recomansations that ship to Europe?
I think at the end of the day it’s gonna depend on what your using them for I got a pair of the transition lenses and can use them at work and not look like a dummy wearing sunglasses indoors and than still have the look of sun glasses when I’m out and about in the sun they won’t be as good as normal shades for outside but I’m happy with them and they’re still stylish so I’m not mad about it
Just picked my transition Headliners up last week and after spending $400 I'd say the biggest con for me is the lack of transition. I still have to wear my actual sunglasses when outdoors on a sunny day. 🙄
I purchased a pair of third-party polarized transition lenses. Had them shipped from the UK to the US. It only took about four days. They get much darker and do get fairly dark behind the windshield. They did cost upwards of $200 for the lenses, but I am much happier.
I just got my glasses today and of course “transition” and to top it off they’re “prescription” and they are awful! Sucks I didn’t see your video 2 weeks ago when I was searching.
Haha, just ordered exactly that… I plan to use them quite a bit indoors, so we’ll see… they do have the extended return policy since it’s the holiday season. We’ll see how it goes!
Lol I think you’re overreacting a little on the transition , I have the transition lenses also ! But it’s not a big deal tbh haha good video though what they definitely need to fix is the battery life . That’s the BIGGEST con and also landscape view needs to be added also
The battery life is okay, but I do agree that it could be improved. And maybe a square sensor so that they could do both landscape and portrait could be cool
I disagree with this as I have the transition lenses and it is fine outside and in the car. I have no regrets and it is grey dark outside, and clear inside. You probably don't have enough sun or it's too cloudy where you are. Here in Cali, blue skies and the glasses turn dark outside and you see clearly.
I want a pair, but unfortunately my prescription is now slightly (left eye is -6.25, and they only go up to a -6.00) too high and they don't make them with prism lenses (which I have to have to avoid the migraines of doom). I just wanted to take photos and video of my dog and BIL being ridiculous. If I take out my phone they immediately stop and my BIL and I have this game of taking ridiculous pictures of each other going on.

So jealous, they sound great!
Where do u find this because I also live in the Us but don’t see that
Need this question answered too lol
Is that xtractive addiction option or everyone in the US can get it? I’m from US but didn’t see that option on the website
I like to know this also.
Agreed on the driving. 😢 But overall, having transition lenses, I get 70% more use than my wife just with the Meta Ray-Ban standard shades.
@@UCrI2YIzorZsY3rozzKH9U3g where are they not allowed?

Totally agreed with this one. I immediately had to drive after I received my glasses, I thought I got the wrong one.
I wish I saw your video before jumping on the transitions. I totally agree with you. Now I have to buy replacement lenses.
Advice, buy with normal lenses and get custom transition lenses.
Great idea!
Aloha! What's the difference from what he did? I was planning to get prescription with that transition feature, but now im scared lol
@@Abideatlove some people always say bullshit u know how that's shit go
Transition xtractive are faster to transition, go darker, and are reactive in a car.
Yes, that would be nice but it doesn’t appear to be available for most
@@DavisFangTech yes they are available on Lensology website
Reactive in the car, but not polarized.
@@LuckyCharms777 they offer polarized as well. I have them
How do you order them?
Look up Essilor Gen S lenses. The latest. You can even get polarised versions.

For barbers this would be great no? Indoors clear and outdoors dark?

Agreed! I have the transition lenses and they suck. Should’ve just gotten 2 different glasses. Blue light blocking and sunglasses
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!!! ❤
Thank you! I was on the fence About the transition lenses
So what’s your recommendation? Which one would you recommend people buy?
Standard polarised for most!
Even though the disadvantages , transitions is the way to go. You won’t be able to use Regular polarized indoors. Unless you wanna look like a douch
Guys, you can always change the glass only for whatever you prefer
No
My Ray Bans barely transition; how do I get that Xtractive stuff????

What size of glasses do you have?
The medium one I think
@@DavisFangTechyou think? It’s written right on the stem of the glasses

How did you change them?
They pop right out
mind sharing a link to the lenses you purchased?
Welp, I just received the transition lenses version today through UPS…. Wish I seen this video 3days prior 🤦🏻♂️
they aren't awful, just not what I was hoping for
@@DavisFangTech I’ll give them a shot, thanks
Sell urs to me @@PatricAguirre
Thanks for the tip!
Unrelated note: how hard is it to clean the glass? I noticed it can be either extremely easy or hard depending on the material
How do I get the electro chromatic lens
What are transition lenses
they change tint depending on the lighting conditions
True but the frame fits my face. In a couple of days I will put transition lenses in them
Davis, are these the older version of Meta transition lenses that weren’t as good?
This is an older model, but from experience, it is still the only version you can get in Australia?
Buy them without crystal, put the one you like from you favourite glasses shop. Enjoy.
Would you recommend the Matte Black Graphite Gradient instead?
I always prefer glossy black, but it is up to your preference really
Clean your glasses man
I have glasses so can I remove those lenses and put my numbered ones in like ??? Will anything go wrong ?
Maybe get it done by a professional if you aren’t so sure ahaha
@@DavisFangTech yeah but we can replace the glasses. Right ?
@@rahulgandhi3358 yes, they are like a normal pair of glasses, you can replace the lenses

Fingers crossed!
Howd it go
For you?😂
@@zay3915 so far so good! I think the transitions are pretty cool though I haven’t used them a whole lot yet.
Nerds make billions... let that sink in
There's a new option for better transition lenses and they are already tinted some
I never get transitions anyways. I always get two separate frames. Is it an extra purchase? Yeah, but the advantage is I have the tint whenever I want
plus you have to carry that pair with you
@@Sopranojr which actually isn't big of a problem as you'd think
I went with the 2 frames also. Best of both worlds
Change lenses… i either way had to go for prescription lenss but this is a wonderful AI gadget
It seems like they’ve updated them since then.
Hey, i am kinda confused which one to take i want one be very clear inside and very dark outside, which one you recommend
Buy both.
@@ncq3😂
Get the sunglasses. Youll always Look Like nerdy with the Other ones

Overreacting to every little detail is the lifeblood of content!
Use custom clip on if you want to go darker . There are custom clip on for meta Rayban

You probably don't have enough sun or it's too cloudy where you are. Here in Cali, blue skies and the glasses turn dark outside and you see clearly.
I already have the Ray-Ban stories as sunglasses so I went with the clear lenses for the Ray-Ban Metas
great idea!
Not useful information for everybody bc not everyone has the Rayban Stories, nor would it make sense for anyone buy them now, so..
You should maybe take care of them better and clean your lenses. You got fingerprints all over them.
I bought the Ray Ban clear meta glasses because they’re not sunglasses thus people don’t think they’re Ray Ban.
U dont believe me but i found it in the ground but one of the arm screw is broken i was gonna search for it and i suprised by it value
I went to the Ray Ban store in NYC for 20 bucks you can get plain glasses with no transitions.
Oh, I thought it became darker even inside car so I can drive wearing them
Unfortunately they don’t go very dark in a car
Im a just get another set of lenses i dont like the regular lenses but theyll be ok if i want them inside
I want a pair, but unfortunately my prescription is now slightly (left eye is -6.25, and they only go up to a -6.00) too high and they don't make them with prism lenses (which I have to have to avoid the migraines of doom).

Very good point ☝️☝️☝️
I got prescription transition lenses from lenscrafters and even paid extra for them to work in car thats what I would do if u could
I got this too but I'm still waiting for my glasses. Does it work well?
@@peachweddingit works it doesnt get crazy dark but it gets there in car
lmao, this is about the lenses only, not the glasses itself xd
Yeah I really didn’t like the transition lenses
If it was an mistake let me get your glasses
I actually want them clear when driving, because I have a very dark tinted windshield and can't see with any shaded glasses lol
It's still blocking UV and that's the whole purpose!
They're great, just not for everyone
To me, it is still worth it
Thanks bro
Your mistake was not doing your research before purchase.
Thanks for the support everyone, Meta have now given me a promo link after I made this video! www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101191514-15736996
-Davis
I don’t think the link is working.
@@CameronLangleyy thanks for checking, it should take you to the Meta hardware site and you can select the glasses from there
I got lucky and got the clear ones!
It should be a triggered action
Okay camera? For a eye glasses there great
True, but I I am talking about in general rather than just in the context of glasses
good advice
Just order new lenses.
So not for guys with long hair. Got it. No buy
