- Smart glasses have always been a hard sell, but the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are a significant improvement over the original, with better photo, video, and audio quality. They look good, can livestream, and are basically a great alternative to sticking a GoPro on your head. But although we live in the era of content creators, privacy remains an open question. #Meta #RayBan #Technology

Are we ready for smart glasses?
I prefer teacups
No. Invasion of privacy. Big tech keeps invading our privacy more and more everyday and we sit and accept their practices. Crazy
Can't wait to get the Gen 2 ❤
Just to clarify . . . there's no head's up display or anything else projected onto the lenses . . . correct?
Loved the vibe
As a cyclist, if they could record longer than 60 seconds at a time (or better yet, record the last 60 seconds into RAM), and last longer than 30 minutes or an hour of recording, then they'd be a game changer for recording cycling commutes in case of an accident.
I have seen the limit specified anywhere, is it actually limited to 60 sec of recording?
@@Shriekin_Commander yep they are
As someone who was just hit by a car on Monday while riding scooter, I completely agree.
Yeah, that would be a great use for them. I would even use these as a dashcam, since I'm always wearing sunglasses while driving.
100% agree, I feel more than 60 seconds and landscape would be top priority.
The 30 second cache, I think with the current tech, battery is just not big enough, and also maybe heating! But more than 60 seconds should be allowed, let it be personal decision to drain it faster.
As a schizophrenic that hallucinate sounds and visuals, I would love to be able to record my entire day and if I doubt if something actually happened I could go back and rewatch it. This could be a game changer for people with disabilities.
This is an excellent point Ty for sharing this. As someone who has owned these one month and has disabilities, I absolutely love them. They don’t meet all of my needs currently but they’re pretty close
Mics are very impressive. These would be fun to use on holiday.
In addition to being well shot and well analysed, this video is also unexpectedly funny.
What a refreshing bonus.
First time watching a review with Victoria and I love her! Made a great team with Becca
Heartily agree! Loved this review.
Wow now the government can track every one at every moment your all morons doing their jobs for them and these demons hide it behind that’s it’s good for you you all really stupid as hell
Mic was the best among all tried here. Very impressive.
Yea very clear

I'm used to strapping a gopro to my head/chest a lot especially for vacations. I also listen to music a lot so maybe I'll save up the money to pick up a pair. I also love your cats! 🥺 ❤
Can we talk about not being able to change then lens. I went to ray ban and the sales lady said I couldn’t switch out the lens cause it’s hard to do so. They also said they don’t offer insurance for them if you scratch the lens and want to get the lens fixed.
The biggest disappointment is Meta didn’t release a version for sports.
Right, that would be huge.
Yeah cause there's nothing athletes need more than to search for banal memes during the second quarter.
Its about the time maybe? I am cyclist and waiting that as well. That will be a game changer
@ko7577 I think it's more or less for games that take a while ( for example, goalies and baseball players) when nothing is going on, why not be discrete & listen to music
@@LargeTemporaryFlash I have an iPhone and tiny ear pods.
Great review! They looks amazing too. During covid lockdowns I kinda got addicted to TH-cam walking videos as a way of 'getting out of the house' virtually. These would be great for that, also holidays too. Yes Vic your cats are adorable and mine has the same issue with the phone... I can use that to justify these lol

How good are they in answering calls? Do you can use speakers in all apps?
Also, is it possible for visually impaired users to order a lens with the desired ones (l mean, for example, is it possible for a
farsighted person to order a lens with a minus number?), if not, is it possible for an optician to change the lens after purchase?
Would anyone know if the old case from the first version would charge this pair?
Really nice video structure and presentation style! Thanks!
Great review. How much do I get out of the battery if I use it only for Bluetooth audio?
Not long sadly
This gen 2 is amazing. FB did a fantastic job on this. All the basic yet essential features work very well: videos/ photos, speaker & mic. The photo needs improvement though. I took picture of a paper with words on it and the words are very blurry, even in good lighting.
Needed more light or to focus in more- photo is near perfect.
Its video that's kinda lame
Thank you for the video/sound samples. Is it possible to film what you're drawing? Is the autofocus good enough?
Those mics sound great
I have a pair of these and for some reason when on phone calls they say I sound far away. Any fix for this?
Great video as always. I’d like to know what media, if any, gets sent directly to Meta/Facebook and what do they have the rights to? Facebook has had some pretty sketch pricey issues in the past and I think a few of them are still ongoing so before I slap a Facebook camera to my face, what do they get?
“what media, if any, gets sent directly to Meta/Facebook”
Answer: “Yes”
A camera on every persons face on the planet, and all in the control of meta..............now let's see what the privacy laws think about this Meta. lol
Nobody cares
How are these red lenses? Were you able to wear them for longer durations??
Could be useful for taking photos / videos during a hike where typically I don't want to be constantly pulling my phone out while in nature but am often presented with beautiful landscapes that would be nice to capture
Mic review is fantastic, super helpful, and very surprising
Wow now the government can track every one at every moment your all morons doing their jobs for them and these demons hide it behind that’s it’s good for you you all really stupid as hell
I was never able to get the last gen versions to work with an iPhone or an Android phone. The app was terrible. Hopefully they’ve made improvements there.
5:21 meta sounds gooooood!!
Esse review foi otimo, falou tudo sobre o produto, melhor ate que a RayBan e lançou perguntas para promover o debate sobre câmeras vestíveis, serão invasão de privacidade ou item de segurança? Parabéns !!!
Do they work with videos and other visible features without anything? If they do can it work with apple phones?
Love the review as I bought two waferers. I also love the term "Glass-Holes"...lol. I love mine as I am not having to use my phone or wiping out my big sony A7III or go pro to capture quick photos or videos especially from POV. Thanks again for a great review.
Facebook/Meta is literally the last company I'd trust with this level of privacy. I hope we have other options soon.
For real. The fact that these "journalist" aren't even highlighting those very worriesome implications really speak volumes.
@@laStar972chuck so they're not journalists because IaStar972chuck has decided they're not?
What do you do as a job?
Why you don't trust the company that leaked millions of users records? That let scammers advertise everything on Facebook and Insta as long as they pay for it? That sells its users data?
@@laStar972chuck ahhh, you’re unemployed. Thanks!
@@4rch13 As a carreer, I am doing your mom, full time. Raw dog only. Several years, now. Why you ask ?
No mention of the AI assistant, not even in passing or as a future consideration or update???
Ya, very strange that it was not brought up. I think it’s for the good, it’s best for the AI chatbot to improve outside of the limelight.
do they really power off? or will they stay secretly connected, recording your POV?
hehe I loved your video ! thank you,
and I am now considering getting myself a pair, with the excuse it would help me create content haha.
anyway, the style you bought looks awesome, are they wayfairers?
Thanks for the vid. The fact that they're an update from the Stories makes me interested.
What an in-depth and fantastic review I’ve learnt so much and have answers to questions I didn’t even think of
I’m a big wayfarer user and someone who also uses lots of action cameras for photography BTS. Just got mine in and stoked to give them a try. Wish it had longer than 60 seconds tho
When they came out with the next pair it would be cool if you have the ability to swap lenses
these would be great as a gopro replacement on mountainbike trips
Hello! Can you tell me what you use to brighten your face? It should be on my shoes! ,-)
I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love a switch to switch the sensor to horizontal mode.
Bit of a miss to be only 3:4
I think they’ll become mainstream within 5 years or so
Once they get visual AR functions
They might really become mainstream within 5 years
I think a lot sooner than that... very interesting.
It could be a good replacement of smart watch.
@@reticenti6365it will all depend on how fast that tech becomes better and better
Like when non smart phones becamed smart and smarter… people switched so fast that it was crazy 😜👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like that its subtle about the noises and all that. I hate beeps and loud noises.
Making videos from this perspective is gold for virtual reality, which I guess is the point.
Love the duo review!!
I'm very glad that this video took the time to explore some of the ethical considerations of wearables.
I really like this reviewer and review! I will buy one for Christmas ☺️ :)
I love the new ones, but people can’t hear me clearly on calls. Any suggestions?
A shocking design flaw
I hope they update the app to allow select which photos you want to download.
I still haven’t used my stories, not sure if this would make any difference lol how are the image quality compared to the previous?
since no one else replied i figured i would. I’ve heard that they can take 4k photos and 2k60fps video, and that the stories were substantially lower resolution with a weird square aspect ratio as opposed to the new ones more normal rectangular aspect ratio
Do they have to be posted to instagram/Facebook? I would just like to save photos to my phone. I’m not a social media guy. For example, I’ll be going to the Lindsey Stirling tour and I would like to take pictures but not post them.
Got one last week and definitely I'm loving it
Can i put on a prescription lenses?
Does it have onboard storage?
You can have them come in your prescription straight from the website!
I really liked the presenter. Great energy!
What if we also should ask for permission while taking photos and videos with our smartphones but we are already used to it.
Great video! The 1st gen round frames came in a size medium, yet the gen 2 round frames only come in large for some reason. I hope they change that
Does this do AR (augmented reality) or is it only a camera, mic, and speakers?
No AR
@@user-cs4pd1ku8c thanks
Wow, great info vid. Thanks from Seattle
I have important question can i live stream with them on Tiktok?
At what point were y’all at Schutt’s Apple Mill in Webster, NY?! That’s my backyard!
The M1 MacBook Pro "issue" is a bug with bluetooth on Sonoma. Wait for a fix or simply unpair from your phone first, then repair after rebooting your MacBook.
So winter time these are no good?
The music that starts 4:30 sounds almost exactly like Google Home's alarm. It's not the first Verge video I'm hearing it in, and every time I'm freaking out and taking my headphones off to check if I actually have an alarm ringing 😱
Can you
Disable the LED ?
very well done video with great info and tempo
Is these were capable of continuous recording, which overwrote earlier recording, and there was a capture button.....having a DVR for real life would be extremely useful
The quality of the mics and audio... I'd like to see the release a version of this without the camera... just the mics and speakers!
Have you seen how much the battery last with constant recording?
How long can you live stream for?
lol the head tilt
Loved that intro
Great review I want these for the shooting range 😂
I owned a pair of Snapchat spectacles so I understand why these are appealing. I just want a go😮 pro for my face.
Great video Victoria and Becca!
How waterproof are they?
So can you record through your phone.
I totally agree with having a COVER for the lenses, I love POV photos/camera footages but sometimes people do think I'm some stalker on my morning runs when they see that I have 2 micro "cameras" pointing at them, regardless if they know theirs suppose to be a pulsating light or not they just find it uncomfortable.
That would be an improvement for more considerate users, but the burden is still on the user. Creeps and glassholes just wouldn’t use the cover.
From a user experience, how does this compare to the Snapchat Spectacles?
That throwback too JoshTops
We need a camera each side for 3D pictures!
I am really concerned about how meta use my data. For that reason, I will never use any product from Meta
The fact that you can record/preserve memories while actually being present in the moment without looking through a screen, seems like a great and human functionality.
if the cat names are a reference to the North Carolina rapper Petey Pablo these are the coolest cats ever
How does these sound?
She is great in her presentation. Plus I might want a pair of these.
The amazing fact is to keep your phone in your pockets and reduce your phone usage.
I love them, but patiently, waiting for the multimodal feature to be accessible
Any with display?
is the iphone 12 pro Becca's daily Driver !?
No comments comparing with the V1?
Great video. Thanks
Extra footage is great except when it's not in the aspect ratio you want.
Its not a smart glass. Its a RayBan with a camera, a mic and speaker built in.
It has Ai
If only my work didn't prohibit cameras onsite (without addign stickers to cover them). These look like the best smartglasses you can get, but i wish i could trade the cameras for some other feature.
The spank bank is no longer just a memory.
As a runner and cyclist I totally dig them!!
nah, i really want one! great video btw
The smart AR technology that is associated with the optimal power level and advanced silicon chip production with the partnership between meta and mediatek is quite potential.
Ray-Ban mics sounded the best. wow!
