Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1), Wayfarer Large, Shiny Black | Smart AI Glasses for Men, Women — 12 MP Ultra-Wide Camera, Open-Ear Audio, Video Recording, Bluetooth — Green Lenses — Sunglasses

Sleek, comfortable, and unmistakably classic. The shiny black finish looks premium and resists scuffs; the frames feel sturdy without being heavy. Lens clarity is excellent and the fit is comfortable for long wear. I was able to get my prescription added easily, and the prescription lenses match the original quality and look. Stylish, durable, and perfect for everyday use.

These are the coolest things I’ve ever bought. Totally worth it for me, lasts all day even though it says 4 hours. I’ve worn every day for 3 months now and they have only died once while wearing. Pictures are nice quality but it’s the music! I have a literally soundtrack to my life now, especially places wear you can’t have headphones (cheat code). Very comfortable fit. The only difference from Gen 2 is battery life and like I said they last all day for me so I saved 300 bucks!

I am thoroughly impressed with these. The battery life meets my expectations, allowing for half a day of music listening without issue. However, extensive use of the camera functions does drain the battery quickly, lasting only about an hour. The quality of the pictures taken is very good, and the large frames I chose suit me well. Given the nature of my work, having a capable video camera is essential, and these have fit the bill. While I do wish I had chosen the transition lenses for better indoor usability, the experience of listening to music is fantastic. The sound quality exceeded my expectations, and the privacy it offers is undeniable. Another great function is the live translation. Translate any language directly into your ears. Not impressed with the AI function I've tried asking the AI function questions and it's not very reliable. I get weird answers and it doesn't always understand what I'm talking about. Even simple things like, what is the object I am holding, in this case, a leaf, it can't answer well. It's hit or miss.

This is an update to an update to an update. I’ve officially downgraded these glasses to one star. If the Amazon Gods would only let us use negative values I would be even happier. . After almost 10 days of trying to use these things while on our European vacation, I have to declare them the single most defective, most useless device purchased on Amazon (or anywhere) in a very long time. I normally carry both an iPhone and iPad with me. The software is so kludgy that it never knows where or how to connect. The Ai function does not work at all. Period. No amount of fiddling will make it work. This, in spite of the fact that I’ve tried connecting to the US via a VPN. To make things worse is the fact that you will often, and unknowingly, begin to take either photos or videos. I have some stunning photos of my shoes, the carpet, and the bright blue sky. This all happens as you sit in a lounge chair looking goofy because the LED light, which cannot be disabled, blinks to let people know you seem to prefer a video of your shoes rather than the stunning native scenery. People tend to alternate looking at you as both a pervert and an idiot. Good grief, I can’t wait to send these things back to Amazon. The value of this product should be about $10 and be on the rack in the convention store with the other cheap glasses that are more often stolen than purchased. These glasses are so useless as to be really unbelievable. They will not stay connected to any iOS device. They constantly lose Bluetooth connectivity. It seems the Ai function is not available outside the US as it refuses to work in Europe. The glasses refuse to connect to a European WiFi. Whatever you do. Do NOT believe any of the glowing reviews from the YouTube hucksters who are getting free swag and being paid to tout this product. Take it from me. These glasses are not going to do what you want them to do. Rayban you should be ashamed of lending your good name to a carnival side show barker such as Zuckerberg. So, while everyone is posting somewhat rave reviews, let’s discuss the cons of owning these glasses. I bought these glasses for use both on vacation, as well as an addition to my studio cameras that I use for my Edge Of Innovation channel on YouTube. The software is wonky. Seemingly it will not pair with two iOS devices. For example, you cannot pair the device with both your iPhone and IPad. Once paired there is a goofy, convoluted process to do a full reset of the glasses in order to pair with another device. Speaking of using with an iPad…there is no iPad specific app for the glasses. To use the Meta View app one must use the app as an iPhone app in the enlarged view in the portrait mode. Software this bad from two major companies is simply unacceptable in today’s world. As we all know, there is no love lost between Apple and Meta. This becomes clear when using this device. It is my greatest hope that Apple will create a competing device and Sherlock this device from Meta. I should mention that the only reason this is not a 1-star review is because the glasses themselves are okay as far as actually working as sun glasses.

I love my glasses; I record everything I see. I’m blown away by the great quality—they’ve made filming so much easier since I don't have to hold my phone in my hand. I recommend them 100%. Highly recommended seller, fast delivery, great product.

I bought these used with minor scratches, no problem because I got them to put prescription lenses in. After my annual eye test (my vision thankfully has been stable this year for a change, so the prescription was the same) I gave them to the staff to send off for lenses after signing a waiver that they would not be responsible for any damage to my frames. When I picked them up, my doctor said the company declined to fit the lenses, so he did it himself. My new lenses are progressive, transition, and coated, but in the car they won’t darken much, if at all, because the car’s glass absorbs UV, so I bought aftermarket clip-on, flip-up sunglasses for my Wayfarers. Back home the first thing I did was charge them. Then I downloaded the app, turned them on, put them on, and ran through the instructions. They were very clear and easy to follow. As eyeglasses, I like the fit and the big lenses. I’m not crazy about the looks, but I didn’t buy them for how they look to others, and to the minor extent that I care, the Wayfarer style is classic. As smart glasses, I like how easy it was to pair Bluetooth with my i14. The audio quality is excellent, as far as I can tell with my minor old age hearing loss, and open ear lets me hear the outside world. I’m not so good with the volume control yet, so I do that on my phone, but the audio pause/resume feature is useful. The glasses give an audio cue when I put them on, and another very shortly after when Bluetooth is active. The only times I’ve used the camera were when I fat-fingered the button by mistake, but the photos looked okay before I deleted them on my phone. I like the way the glasses answer the phone and handle texts, hands-free and more convenient than my Fitbit Sense 2, great when driving. I haven’t tried talking to “Hey, Meta” much, but it’s a very interesting feature. My main disappointment is the short battery life, in hindsight not surprising with such small batteries. Sometimes I carry my old glasses in my shirt pocket so I can switch while I charge these. The app, which by the way should stay active when wearing these glasses, displays battery %. Charging in the case requires some jiggling to make contact. The charging case is not sold separately. I bought an aftermarket charger that’s easier to use, seems faster, and lets me charge in more than one place: case in the car, new charger in the bedroom. Oh, before I forget again, the glasses give an audio low battery warning at 15% and again at 5%. After charging, when I put them on, they give an audio report, 100% battery. This review page suggests that I should mention value for money. I consider this a positive, with audio better than in-ear plugs or pods, still camera and video camera, phone and text answering, access to AI, and stylish sunglasses for much less than the total price of buying them all separately. One thing I try to remember when I write a review, if I had it to do over again knowing what I know now, would I still buy it? Yes! Edited to add: Yesterday I started a timer when I put on the glasses. I didn't use the audio much, maybe half an hour or so in total, and the 15% bat warning came at 5 hours and 45 minutes, better than I expected. I will time it with full time audio music and report. The aftermarket charger took them back to 100% in 57 minutes. I haven't timed the charging case yet, but will add that when I do. Updated edit: After several charges using each, although not precisely timed, the case and the aftermarket charger take substantially the same amount of time to charge the Wayfarers to 100%. The aftermarket charger has a light on full-time when it’s holding the glasses, red for charging and green for fully charged. The case’s light turns on only briefly upon opening or closing the case. Rather than interrupting the charging process to check battery status, especially when charging with the case, I use the app to get the current battery percentage. Update after just over a year of use: Sorry to say the focus is mainly on the negative. 1. They tend to slide down my nose when I'm active, which causes the audio to pause. It's very annoying, especially after buying Amazon Alexa Echo glasses that play on even when I remove them. Software issue. 2. The battery life is too short. The new second generation doubles the battery life, but that doesn't help me, just tells me that the problem was recognized. 3. The software consumes battery life much faster than my Alexa glasses, which I can wear for an hour without exercising any smart functions and find the battery still at 100%. These glasses' software consumes the battery faster even when not actively using any smart function, although I haven't tested or measured how much. One would hope that Meta software would be at least as good as Amazon. 4. I seldom use the camera, still or video; I mainly listen to music and use the phone when I want a camera. For my purposes I much prefer the Alexa glasses. 5. So I'm changing my conclusion: If I had it to do over again knowing what I know now, would I still buy them? Regrettably, no. I might go for the second generation, but probably would stick with Amazon Alexa Echo.

I purchased these because I lost my Beats Pro fit ear buds and needed a new Bluetooth headset. I figured for the price it would be similar and more beneficial than my Beats Pro fit and I was not wrong. I love the quality the camera captures. I jokingly told the glasses to make an AI photo of the person in front of me and a home wall art type of picture was generated. The battery life is not great but depending on how you plan to use these, for me it’s a content creation tool, I think it’s better than holding your phone and trying to get the perfect angle when you can just look at something or in a certain direction to shoot

I absolutely LOVE these glasses. The style, the usability, the video, photo, and audio, clarity everything is just incredible! The battery life could get me through an entire day unless I was shooting a lot of video/photo, then I would get around 4hrs. Which isn’t bad especially with the fast charging speed the charging case offers. I really enjoyed being able to capture my kids having fun without fumbling around in my pocket for my phone. Also my kids wouldn’t freeze up and stop what they were doing because they saw me bring my phone out. They barely noticed me taking video with the glasses. They saw the flashing light on the glasses but didn’t think twice about it. I also loved the fact that I still had both hands available to interact with my kids while capturing incredible POV shots. I signed up for the “Early Access” program to gain access to the upcoming features. The live translations feature was a real game changer. Testing it out with some of my Spanish speaking colleagues was fun but it was really useful when I was recently at a Spanish market and I was able to better communicate. Using the glasses to scan QR code or having John Cena (one of the celebrity voices available for Meta AI” answer a question for me while on the go without bringing out my phone was great. The speakers on the glasses are really good as well. I enjoyed being able to take a call or listen to a podcast while walking around without having my AirPods in my ear. Now don’t get me wrong the sound quality is not matched the the AirPods Pros especially when the noise cancellation is on. But for the convenience and comfort of not having something in your ear and still being able to hear it’s a win for me. I ended up going with the large size, which fit me well. BUT my one issue is that the arms are just a tad but snug by the top of the ear. I was able to find some cushions on Amazon which completely rectified the issue. For around $400 after tax I feel that these glasses are a great value for the money. Also depending on the type of Vision insurance you have they may be covered, at least some of the cost. Which makes them an even better deal.

Not bad, just many features are not accessible in my country

Just started using it It totally feels so cool to use this glasses ❤️

Oğlum çok begendi ..

Look good feel good sound good but some features are disabled in the uk. Arguably the most useful and unique features

もともとは海外にて購入した人の話を聞いた上での購入ですが、 非常に良かったと思います。 カメラや動画撮影は日本では違法となるので、プライベートのみもしくはスポーツをしてるときに撮影をする程度にはなります。 骨伝導の音楽や通話では周り(騒音)によって左右されますが、個人的には問題ありません。 1番はRay･BanのMetaという点です。 やはりRay･Banのメガネは品質的良いですし、偏光になってるため昼夜問わず掛けられることが良かったです、。
