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.
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
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?
@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
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! 🥺 ❤
Just won a pair - pretty amazing - they also translated whatever I was looking at (English/Italian/Spanish/French/German) - was able to answer a math problem I wrote down - was able to answer a multiple choice question on screen - basically also acts like a BT headset so all my music streaming works great - send/listen to txts and calls - v6 update now allows 3min vids 😎
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
@@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 😜👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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
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?
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 selling problem was never about the tech. It was about privacy invasion and the creepiness of people wearing them. Glassholes, not to put too fine a point on it. If someone tried to engage me in conversation while wearing these, I would likely ask that they be removed or leave the conversation. If someone is openly holding a camera, there is advance warning. Given issues with big tech sending data back to home base without asking, I would also wonder as a wearer exactly how much of the data is going back to the data pile for AI training.
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
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
I don’t like the light to notify people because I would want to turn them on if I’m being pulled over by the police. A bad cop would circumvent that if they knew they were recording.
Really great takes on this product. Impressed with not just your production quality, but the personality of the reviewers that shines through! I think you just earned my subscription!
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.
There’s a few blind spots in this review - forgot to completely mention meta AI, which is a big deal on these. Also, these can’t film in landscape which is a dealbreaker for me as well.
A definite improvement. But they don't fix the main problem: they require use of the Meta platform. People have remarkably short memories of how persistently Facebook has proved itself to be abusive and untrustworthy. I remember.
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.
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
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?
this will definitely be an invasion of privacy that unfortunately creeps and predators will probably use to take non consensual, photos of women and children and potentially post them online or worst, but hopefully there will be a way to properly address that sooner rather than later before they’re mainstream 😅
@@OfficialJoeyTV yes but with phone, it becomes obvious. These will take time to catch on. And with newer models, I'm sure the cameras will become sharper and smaller that people won't even realize they are being recorded. So I'm guessing people will probably just act right everywhere in public atleast.
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.
Very helpful review. As a person with coorective lenses, these are something I'd consider dropping an extra 4 hundo and putting my perscription transitionals into. Still researching...this was a huge help. NOW, how do I get that Korea pricing😊Thanks
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.
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 !!!
What people need to understand as that no one has a RIGHT to privacy while in public. Of a camera can see or hear what they are doing, then a camera can to. It's not like these have a parabolic microphone designed to snoop on conversations outside normal hearing range, or a telescopic camera like paparazzi to spy on people hundreds of feet away. If it did, that could be morally debatable, but the fact remains that legally and morally, if a person can see and hear something, then they can record it. If this affects your behavior, then consider why you are ashamed of your actions. The reality is that we are all being recorded by multiple cameras already any time we are in public. If you don't understand that yet, and think you still have some privacy, that is your delusion to overcome and has nothing to do with another persons lawfully protected activity to record what they can see and hear. Every objection anyone has come up with about why recording in public is wrong / creepy / suspicious, etc, is already invalidated by the fact that everyone is already being recorded.
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.
I don't care for cameras, I just want a HUD with a small map in the corner, popups for when my phone buzzes and the time.... as well as being able to add other things as I see fit.
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?
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.
I’m fairly worried about Meta being behind the tech. They’re not famous for respecting privacy. And it being subtle and non-obvious when you’re recording people is definitely not a good feature. Everyone non-consensually recording each other isn’t a good direction for us to be moving in.
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 😱
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

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.

Jill Biden can see what Joe has done during the day.

They'll just edit the video lol 😆😂
But some schizofrenics would not believe it anyways, like CIA changed the record or whatever.
In addition to being well shot and well analysed, this video is also unexpectedly funny.
What a refreshing bonus.
Mics are very impressive. These would be fun to use on holiday.
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?

Yea very clear
First time watching a review with Victoria and I love her! Made a great team with Becca
Heartily agree! Loved this review.
The biggest disappointment is Meta didn’t release a version for sports.
Right, that would be huge.
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
wrong, it's the fact that it doesn't have any in glass AR display
@ko7577how do you search for memes with these?

I think they’ll become mainstream within 5 years or so
They might really become mainstream within 5 years

Those mics sound great
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.
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”
Great review. How much do I get out of the battery if I use it only for Bluetooth audio?
Not long sadly
I like her energy! They both have great energy!
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.
But she has black lenses in the shiny black frames, which don’t exist.

What’s the device you’re using on your face at 1:26 ? ❤
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.
There’s a few blind spots in this review - forgot to completely mention meta AI, which is a big deal on these. Also, these can’t film in landscape which is a dealbreaker for me as well.
💯Need Landscape! That and ability to record longer clips would have made it insta-buy.
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
A definite improvement. But they don't fix the main problem: they require use of the Meta platform. People have remarkably short memories of how persistently Facebook has proved itself to be abusive and untrustworthy. I remember.
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.
I love the new ones, but people can’t hear me clearly on calls. Any suggestions?
A shocking design flaw
Thank you for the video/sound samples. Is it possible to film what you're drawing? Is the autofocus good enough?
I like that its subtle about the noises and all that. I hate beeps and loud noises.
5:21 meta sounds gooooood!!
When they came out with the next pair it would be cool if you have the ability to swap lenses
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
I am really concerned about how meta use my data. For that reason, I will never use any product from Meta
Why even buy them if they dont show you a hud of your health bar, ability recharge meter or highlighted enemy weaknesses.
Does this do AR (augmented reality) or is it only a camera, mic, and speakers?
No AR
@@AshAsh-p3y thanks
What if we also should ask for permission while taking photos and videos with our smartphones but we are already used to it.

I have a pair of these and for some reason when on phone calls they say I sound far away. Any fix for this?
How are these red lenses? Were you able to wear them for longer durations??
Making videos from this perspective is gold for virtual reality, which I guess is the point.

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.
Its not a smart glass. Its a RayBan with a camera, a mic and speaker built in.
It has Ai
Do they work with videos and other visible features without anything? If they do can it work with apple phones?
I don't care for cameras, I just want a HUD with a small map in the corner, popups for when my phone buzzes and the time.... as well as being able to add other things as I see fit.
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!
I love the questions you brought up. Very valid and thought provoking.
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?
Hello! Can you tell me what you use to brighten your face? It should be on my shoes! ,-)
Intriguing but I worry about the longevity of the battery inside the frame.
As a Cat person and a Korean, I 150% agree with this review =D
Have they solved the problem of them not being recognised as mics from a MacBook? Showstopper if they don’t fix that. These would be great for work!!
Would anyone know if the old case from the first version would charge this pair?
do they really power off? or will they stay secretly connected, recording your POV?
I like this as an idea but cameras and meta do not mix
I'll wait for another brand to come up with their own
if the cat names are a reference to the North Carolina rapper Petey Pablo these are the coolest cats ever
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
At what point were y’all at Schutt’s Apple Mill in Webster, NY?! That’s my backyard!
I hope they update the app to allow select which photos you want to download.
14 minutes review and not even a single word about meta ai 🧐
Tried these in real life, the camera and speakers are very impressive
This is the perfect example of tech looking for a problem to solve. Not trying to solve an existing one.
I have important question can i live stream with them on Tiktok?
Ray-Ban mics sounded the best. wow!
Loved that intro
these would be great as a gopro replacement on mountainbike trips
Have you seen how much the battery last with constant recording?
Thanks for the vid. The fact that they're an update from the Stories makes me interested.
The amazing fact is to keep your phone in your pockets and reduce your phone usage.
I feel like an essential feature for these is some sort of location tool like with AirPods. I’d lose these immediately
Got one last week and definitely I'm loving it
Wow, great info vid. Thanks from Seattle
When do we get similar lenses that can play content and do AR / VR?
That’s 10x the price
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.
I owned a pair of Snapchat spectacles so I understand why these are appealing. I just want a go😮 pro for my face.
I’m fairly worried about Meta being behind the tech. They’re not famous for respecting privacy. And it being subtle and non-obvious when you’re recording people is definitely not a good feature. Everyone non-consensually recording each other isn’t a good direction for us to be moving in.
Great video. Already had S Korea on the travel list, mostly for food. Who knew cheaper eyeglasses would be another reason.

I have headphones and a camera on my phone.... I can also get a personal body cam for 20 quid.
From a user experience, how does this compare to the Snapchat Spectacles?
didn't snapchat try to do this and fail massively
Love the duo review!!
Great review I want these for the shooting range 😂
