If you don't desperately need the "hey Meta" activation phrase for hands free activation then turn it off in the settings. The always on microphones drain your battery like crazy. For me that resulted in more than 2x battery life. You can still talk to meta ai through long holding the temple and I honestly feel a lot less douchy that way...
Finally, a good review of these glasses, not only focusing on crap like livestream or photos/videos, but the actual functionalities and the AI features, I needed a review to buy my blind mom a couple of those, again, thanks!!
So I’m a technician specifically a low-voltage technician where documentation of devices is very important and I find myself working on something and wanting to play music while I work so this would help me a lot. I could be working in a server room while listening to music, but if I’m away from my phone, I don’t need to go back to take a picture of a serial number or take videos of what I am doing, so that’s really great. I’m also a dad of two so I do have to be really careful when I’m around them, but it’s great that if I go out, I don’t have to constantly take out my phone to take pictures or videos or even just listen to music for me these are really handy and just like in the video, it helps me be away from my phone because I don’t need it as much as I did before
4:36- 1st option: Glasses /lanyard with battery built-in the cord with wireless charging. 2nd : battery 🔋 extension/clips on arms from the glasses or goes running along frame.
I get mine Thursday. They are prescription as well. I am excited about not having to ware earbuds at work to answer my phone. My eye center did have a buy one get one half off sale, so I bought another pair to use when not working or on vacation.
They seem good. A big negative for me is the narrow view of the camera, which is in contrast to what my phone (and natural eyes) are capable of... in other words, I want the ability to have a landscape view. Thanks.
This is the best review for any of the new smart glasses that I've seen yet. I really appreciate the perspective of someone who also has prescription glasses. I'm curious if you think the fit is universal. I've seen some frames with this style cause problems pushing against people's ears and I'm worried about the potential for that being an issue.
I appreciate that! Thx so much, hope you can SUB to the channel! And absolutely it's a universal fit (from what I've seen/heard). Just like sunglasses they're very comfortable for MOST folks
I don't have my glasses yet, but from what I've read, pictures and video are stored on the glasses 32gb hdd, and you connect to the glasses own wifi and transfer them to the phone. So you could transfer without phone being connected to 4g/5g or home wifi.
@@chathurawimalaratne8560 so it can go up to 3 mins now. Which is kinda long I think. Once it stops, yes you’ll have to hit record button again. That’s bc so it’ll transfer over easily
@@bogdanmarcu135 not right now, everything is done custom. With Ray Ban
21 день тому+2
I bought them in Spain, and RayBan doesn't even sell them with prescription, and don't support changing the lenses... but I found a web store in the UK which can make any lenses you want for the Rayban Metas, normal, transition, xtractive transition, with or without prescription, etc... it's called Lensology and it seems to work very well from what I've seen ... you will have to change the lenses yourself or send them to do it.. .but changing the lenses is extremely easy... just a little pressure and the lens goes out and in... there's tons of videos in UA-cam on how to do it... and you will save a lot of money... Opticians in my country charged me about twice of what I'm paying
I've bought a pair of these glasses but on google it says that they should be made in Italy but the ones i purchase were made in China i bought them in a glasses shop does other people have this on their rayban glasses so were are your glasses made
I kind of like them as I am a long time ray ban person but I have bad vision and need progressive readers as well. I know LensCrafters can hook me up, but I am concerned with durability and cost of they don’t last. I agree the price is quite affordable and i compared to the actual wayfarer and it is remarkably close.
These glasses are AMAZING, I’ve had them for about a month (transcended ones) but the fact that they have a creeper status, I would only wear them a few times during the week. I wouldn’t wear them to work because I wouldn’t want my coworkers to think I’m a creeper. 😂. Like seriously. Imagine your coworker having these and you don’t know nothing about technology (which many people don’t). I used to put em on everywhere, now I only put em on a few times a week, definitely not at work. 😂
They smart glasses have created a lot of interest in the blind community, as the photograph description is very useful to the visually impaired. The meta artificial intelligence aspect is not available in the UK, so if a British person buys them, they have to go onto a vpn and choose the United States option then open up the meta app and the artificial intelligence part of the glasses will come on. And then you just go back and close the VPN down, and your phone knows it’s back in the UK if this makes any sense.
Thanks for that!! I personally, went to Rayban first then had to go to my eye Dr office to get an updated prescription. You send that to Rayban and boom, they make it and send it over within a couple weeks.
I love them I got the dark brown wayfarers and the new Skyler light gray. I have them as transition prescription glasses . I love using them listening to music and UA-cam. I’m a nurse and don’t wear AirPod at work and no one know I’m listening to music! Rarely take pictures or video! But not great pictures. Otherwise I wear them as glasses and cost is fine compared to my other prescription Tom ford eyewear. Will continue to buy as AI is perfected!?
Do you think these would be a good accessability tool for some people with visual impairments? For example, if someone struggles with reading physical print, would this be a good tool? Also thanks for making a great review!
Hmm, I think so.. maybe not right now as the software is meant for that but I think eventually they're work on rolling out updates to help with impairments like that. Right now it CAN translate signs for you (for ex: Italian to English) so that's pretty cool.
So I have a lot of questions regarding this. Anyone here can answer those. 1. I'm going join a medical school as an undergraduate doing mbbs for a span of 5.5 years and I want to make content regarding practicals that we do like testing blood group, cheakin stuffs in microscope, taking classes, moving around in the hospital and doing various stuffs. Will it be the best for me to invest like 350 dollars on this. I'm asking this because most med students do vlogs but in most case that are not of pov one. They either use an iphone which I think isn't better than this as a fpv perspective. 2. I'm currently using power lenses so can I change or can the company give power glasses attached to the specs instead of making it a sunglasses. And I can't see things way clear without my glasses so if it provides power glasses then that would be awesome. 3. How long can we record? As said in this video it's 1 minutes and that's fine for yt shorts. Give me further suggestions and if possible tell me how can I get it into India
Personally these might work good for you. I will say this is an older video I did and sense then they've updated the software to record up to 3 mins. ALL by handsfree so you just say "meta record video" - which means if you're hands are full you can start and stop video by voice. Overall, I have little complaints about these and think they're the closest / best thing we need in the space.
Hi how long does it take for the 3 min video to upload to the phone? or is it immediate? I am asking because I want to take back to back videos. Or does the glasses have storage?
The glasses has storage (not sure how much) and then when it uploads to your phone, it's pretty fast.. no difference than if you were to "airdrop" something over to another device. Downfall is you have to keep the glasses on and the app open for it to finish the upload.
Just watched your video. It's a really good video! Kudos!! I honestly love the idea of these glasses! I would love to get a pair for fishing when a fish is hooked to re-live the moment. Do you think they'll ever make them with longer than one minute recording capability? It's a fantastic hands free option for a go pro instead of having a giant contraption strapped up. Or is there anything on the market with this capability that you know of?
Thanks for that! They're a lot of fun.... and actually, a new update JUST came in to where you can now record UP TO 3 MINUTES! So for me, these are epic!
@@theberardo I would hope to record a memory of catching a fish that would take longer than 3 minutes to land 😂 I guess I'll have to stick with the old GoPro for the time being. It just would have been really cool to use the shades to record the moment as well. Tech moves pretty fast so I'm sure someone will come up with a decent pair with longer recording times soon!
@@OptimumServices416 haha 🤣 yea then a go pro might be a better bet. Good news tho, when you reel it in - you could say “meta start video” and record video hands-free so you can control everything that way. Pretty cool!
@@theberardo that's actually awesome!! If only we could do that today with a GoPro I'd be happy with that lol!! Thx for the info! I think I'm going to keep my eyes on this for newer updates of this! Cause seriously looks like something that's perfect for my needs!
@theberardo So, you said video capture is limited to 60 seconds I was wondering if that carried over to video calling, or can you show unlimited video while video calling?
I hate portrait mode videos. Let the user choose what format to use! Some like portrait, some like landscape. But to force portrait upon everybody.. No deal.
Maybe it's because of the lens grade. He seem to have a high eye grade that requires thicker lenses, therefore creating the white lines on the edges. There's a tech that trims down the thickness of the lens that would cost extra, but I doubt if there's a similar option in rayban's website
I’m blind and own a Guide Dog (Seeing Eye Dog for US audience). I know the glasses are accessible with iPhone and Voiceover. My use case will mainly be capturing taxi refusals I encounter with my Guide Dog, it’s against tthe law to refuse in both the UK and US so no arguments please. Is it obvious to people you are recording them? I do tell drivers I am if they try to refuse and that I’ll use the footage for evidence. I’m thinking that if people can see thy are in record mode, it might actually act as a deterrent and I may get less refusals. I have other ruse cases too but, if anyone can helpfully answer this I’d be really grateful.
@@vipodcasting yeah that’s a great point, and it is kind of obvious that you’re recording people as there is a light that goes on, but if people don’t know the technology, then they won’t know the difference Overall, I think there is some proven that need to be made, but it’s pretty great
Maybe online.. 🧐 but personally I went to the RAY BAN retail store and then got fitted, tried on the pair - then went to the eye doctor to get an updated prescription, then I emailed that to ray ban store
@@theberardo Very informative, thank you!!! I might be getting some for my dad and he’ll need prescription ones so I appreciate you helping me. Also, your quality of content is phenomenal for a small channel, you just earned a subscriber. Keep it up 🙂↕️
Battery life actually isn't bad IF you disable Hey Meta feature. With this and listening 40% or lower volume I get right around 4 hours straight bluetooth audio. My hope, is that next gen we get a substantial boost to battery life. I think 8 hours use would be would I would prefer over more "performance". I am sure by next gen silicon comes out they can get closer to that number. That being said, they charge VERY fast. About 15 minutes from dead to full is my average. At most I have seen it take 20 minutes. Now that AI has gotten so much better, I found myself using these features WAYYYYY more. From simple questions to more complex requests. I firmly believe, these are the first step towards usable XR glasses. Imagine being able to be fed real time visual data on certain things like natural translation (someone speaking to you in spanish and the glasses relaying in english what's being said). If we could fit all of that plus hands free apps I use on a daily basis into these I would drop my iPhone in an instant! I hate relying on a phone and could see myself using a smartwatch and smart glasses to stay connected.
Was that really cool for it to tell u there’s a lake there… if it told you the name of the lake or the size of facts AI …won’t be killing us all just yet
Asking AI what you're looking at while not being blind seem very gimmicky? If you don't know what you can see then you have bigger problems than a pair of smart glasses... IJS Translating languages makes sense or being able to summarize text or extract specific data from a paragraph or locate a item for sale by image alone or identify an ingredient by looking at label would be actually useful. If you can perform them type of tasks that would be helpful.
Good question! TOTALLY CLEAR... I'm using them in this entire video (to give you an idea) then when you got outside they're like actually shades (more references in first video) Hope that helps!
I’m looking into getting a pair soon. I use prescription eyeglasses can I go and change the lens on these Ray Bans Smart glasses and will they work if I change the lens to prescription lens.
These things are HORRIBLE. Mine worked about 2 months, then could not download images. Some update to either phone or glasses broke the connection. Lost ALL photos and glasses NO LONGER connect. RayBan technical support is clueless. Reading scripts and providing no support. Meta support does not even exist. Reddit has hundreds of horror stories about connection issues and losing photos. Avoid like the plague.
How gon put the camera as a pro then turn around and say they’re not as good as an iPhone camera? Mixed feelings. Another guy reviewed these and actually took a pic with the glasses and one with an iPhone 14 side by side and the glasses photo came out immaculate vs the iPhone so…
Ugh… I’m confused. It’s not mixed. I said it’s a good camera and have video of the glasses throughout. But pointing out the specs aren’t as good as an iPhone. It’s not an iPhone review video 🤔 Sooooo
On Tin Kuk's watch, I doubt it. Even though it is a fashion item, Tin Kuk is too elitist, probably would sell them with a higher price if he pulls it thru.
Just a heads up reviews online are very bad and mostly you need to be a creator or have a child brain and not know a single thing for these to be useful I am waiting for model 2 or 3 meta add a text screen or basic apps
Hmm, interesting. Are you saying THIS review is bad? lol I'm confused by your comment. So you're justing going to wait for version 2 or 3 to buy these?
Why are they calling these "smart glasses"? Just glasses with a camera and headphones that connect to your "smart" device by bluetooth. They hsve no native "smart"...just a marketing buzzword imo. Camera glasses with built in headphones.
@@oldgoldtopgoldtop6039 why do we call a smartphone, a “smart phone” Because it’s not just a “phone” I would guess that’s why these are called smart glasses. And they’re smarter than my regular ray bans.
@@theberardo I think they began to be called a smartphone becsuse they have a brain as in computer OS and different from previous cell phones that may have had cameras. An old flip phone has a camera but is not a smart phone. There are other actual smart glasses that run on android and perhaps other OS too.
@@theberardo if I want to see through camera and use zoom .. do you know which glasses good for that .. I want to see in screen glasses through camera zoom for far away things.. thank you for help
What are the differences between theWayfarer,skyler,headliner models. I went to lens crafters at my local mall and it seems like they didn't know either.
Its just the style, no other differences (from what I've researched) - personally the Wayfarer, what I have, is the more traditional Rayban you might be used to and I THINK, it's the best
@@theberardo interesting. can it work similar to Apple Watch? Like, is there a music application storage inside the meta Ray-Bans smart glasses where you don’t have to rely on your smartphone connection to Bluetooth to listen to music, podcast, or any audio from afar?
@@juanguevara2846 there is not. I would say it’s more like a Bluetooth headset than anything, because it has a lot of extra features like one-touch to play music and meta AI.. but it’s no smart watch 😉 (yet)

how’s the sizing please? did you get standard or large?
@@fiyin. standard for me, I’m a small guy 😉
does anyone know how to record on landscape?
I think the ratio is set and you can't change it (from what I've seen)
Does everything nit when I say hey meta doesn't do anything
Sounds like maybe a software update is needed. Or head to your settings you might have "hey meta" turned off
Is the video calling also capped at 60 seconds?
Huh?
@theberardo So, you said video capture is limited to 60 seconds I was wondering if that carried over to video calling, or can you show unlimited video while video calling?
I hate portrait mode videos. Let the user choose what format to use! Some like portrait, some like landscape. But to force portrait upon everybody.. No deal.
@@gorpand 🤔 Portrait Mode? On the glasses??
Did you go with the green or reg dark tink for your transitions
Dark! 😎
NIIICE! THX BRO!
For sure - hope you enjoyed it! More to come ;)
Is it normal to have the white edge line on the lenses?
@@roymendoza4351 hmm 🤔 not familiar with that, I don’t have that
@theberardo Thanks for your prompt response, I got the metas but my prescription lenses have this weird frost white line around the lenses.
@@roymendoza4351 🤔 that is odd. Def reach out to them - come back, I’m curious
Maybe it's because of the lens grade. He seem to have a high eye grade that requires thicker lenses, therefore creating the white lines on the edges. There's a tech that trims down the thickness of the lens that would cost extra, but I doubt if there's a similar option in rayban's website
@@shey2510 ☺️ yeahhh that makes sense. Thx for that
I’m blind and own a Guide Dog (Seeing Eye Dog for US audience). I know the glasses are accessible with iPhone and Voiceover.
My use case will mainly be capturing taxi refusals I encounter with my Guide Dog, it’s against tthe law to refuse in both the UK and US so no arguments please.
Is it obvious to people you are recording them? I do tell drivers I am if they try to refuse and that I’ll use the footage for evidence.
I’m thinking that if people can see thy are in record mode, it might actually act as a deterrent and I may get less refusals.
I have other ruse cases too but, if anyone can helpfully answer this I’d be really grateful.
@@vipodcasting yeah that’s a great point, and it is kind of obvious that you’re recording people as there is a light that goes on, but if people don’t know the technology, then they won’t know the difference
Overall, I think there is some proven that need to be made, but it’s pretty great
What size are your glasses?
@@Pipe.007 🧐 not sure actually… I went to the store and grabbed the “wayfarer”
@@theberardocan you buy and send me one if i pay u plz?
How did you get them as a prescription?!
Maybe online.. 🧐 but personally I went to the RAY BAN retail store and then got fitted, tried on the pair - then went to the eye doctor to get an updated prescription, then I emailed that to ray ban store
@@theberardo Very informative, thank you!!! I might be getting some for my dad and he’ll need prescription ones so I appreciate you helping me. Also, your quality of content is phenomenal for a small channel, you just earned a subscriber. Keep it up 🙂↕️
@@DraculaMavis666 thx, still got a lot of work to do, but I appreciate you! More to come 😉
Hey man, nice video how has your channel? Not got that many people this channel is wicked keep up the great work
Thx it’s a new channel, working on it… appreciate ya.
How long can it record a video?
When I recorded THIS video it was 60 secs... but I think with the new update it's 3 minutes! + YOU CAN GO LIVE!
Battery life actually isn't bad IF you disable Hey Meta feature. With this and listening 40% or lower volume I get right around 4 hours straight bluetooth audio. My hope, is that next gen we get a substantial boost to battery life. I think 8 hours use would be would I would prefer over more "performance". I am sure by next gen silicon comes out they can get closer to that number. That being said, they charge VERY fast. About 15 minutes from dead to full is my average. At most I have seen it take 20 minutes. Now that AI has gotten so much better, I found myself using these features WAYYYYY more. From simple questions to more complex requests. I firmly believe, these are the first step towards usable XR glasses. Imagine being able to be fed real time visual data on certain things like natural translation (someone speaking to you in spanish and the glasses relaying in english what's being said). If we could fit all of that plus hands free apps I use on a daily basis into these I would drop my iPhone in an instant! I hate relying on a phone and could see myself using a smartwatch and smart glasses to stay connected.
Yeah true... overall the pros out weigh the cons but it's got work to do
It would be nice to record w/o a cap and not have that glowing light when recording
@@WestCoastSpace yea, maybe one day… I do like the light - it’s to let people you’re recording, good for privacy🤷🏻♂️
ty dude
For sure! Appreciate the view
Was that really cool for it to tell u there’s a lake there… if it told you the name of the lake or the size of facts
AI …won’t be killing us all just yet
@@pejmanEntertainment haha 😆…yet
I have the Meta glasses, but the AI does not work?? The AI does not show in the app. I´m from Finland so maybe thats the case?
Thought I responded to this.... but I'd look into the META update, should be good now. Right?
They should have told you where you were and what lake that was via gps data. LMAO, wow it told me I was at a lake surrounded by grass and trees. WTF!
@@DugEphresh haha 😆 maybe in the next update lol
Stop using them if you don't like it !!!!
Simple as that
@@fernandoa76 🤔 thanks but guess you didn’t watch the video lol
Do you ever worry that the radiation emitting from the device can cause cancer?
@@TheRoundTable360 eh, sure I guess… no more dangerous than our phones
Living in bubble?
@@toyshanger8945 huh 🤔
@@theberardo yeah about the same I believe.
@@toyshanger8945 lol
Asking AI what you're looking at while not being blind seem very gimmicky? If you don't know what you can see then you have bigger problems than a pair of smart glasses... IJS Translating languages makes sense or being able to summarize text or extract specific data from a paragraph or locate a item for sale by image alone or identify an ingredient by looking at label would be actually useful. If you can perform them type of tasks that would be helpful.
@@MicMaine it does translation too, think it’s the exciting aspect the updates and what’s possible - no?
Is there a tint on them indoors? Or do they get totally clear?
Good question! TOTALLY CLEAR... I'm using them in this entire video (to give you an idea) then when you got outside they're like actually shades (more references in first video)
Hope that helps!
Are those the Wayfarers? And what size is that frame?
Yep! Got them about 6 months ago, loving them!
I’m looking into getting a pair soon. I use prescription eyeglasses can I go and change the lens on these Ray Bans Smart glasses and will they work if I change the lens to prescription lens.
Mine are prescription - they're great!
Great video thank you
😉🙏🏻 thx for that! Had fun with it, maybe more to come on these?!
I don't think your microphone is big enough LOL 😂
That’s what she said
He did a "review" not an advertising. 😂
Yes?!
These things are HORRIBLE. Mine worked about 2 months, then could not download images. Some update to either phone or glasses broke the connection. Lost ALL photos and glasses NO LONGER connect. RayBan technical support is clueless. Reading scripts and providing no support. Meta support does not even exist. Reddit has hundreds of horror stories about connection issues and losing photos. Avoid like the plague.
Hmm, I've had mine for over 6 months. No complaints so far?
How gon put the camera as a pro then turn around and say they’re not as good as an iPhone camera? Mixed feelings. Another guy reviewed these and actually took a pic with the glasses and one with an iPhone 14 side by side and the glasses photo came out immaculate vs the iPhone so…
Ugh… I’m confused. It’s not mixed. I said it’s a good camera and have video of the glasses throughout. But pointing out the specs aren’t as good as an iPhone.
It’s not an iPhone review video 🤔 Sooooo
Whenever apple drop there glasses its over for the rest of the game
@@marcusmcdow3 I actually agree 💯
@@theberardo but I will be wearing both no matter what cause ray bans are great
@@marcusmcdow3 Hell yea!
On Tin Kuk's watch, I doubt it. Even though it is a fashion item, Tin Kuk is too elitist, probably would sell them with a higher price if he pulls it thru.
Does meta ai support Russian language ?
Hmmm, good question. I know it can translate languages but that'll be a question for support unfortunately :/ sorry.
Just a heads up reviews online are very bad and mostly you need to be a creator or have a child brain and not know a single thing for these to be useful I am waiting for model 2 or 3 meta add a text screen or basic apps
Hmm, interesting. Are you saying THIS review is bad? lol I'm confused by your comment.
So you're justing going to wait for version 2 or 3 to buy these?
Why are they calling these "smart glasses"? Just glasses with a camera and headphones that connect to your "smart" device by bluetooth. They hsve no native "smart"...just a marketing buzzword imo. Camera glasses with built in headphones.
@@oldgoldtopgoldtop6039 why do we call a smartphone, a “smart phone”
Because it’s not just a “phone” I would guess that’s why these are called smart glasses. And they’re smarter than my regular ray bans.
@@theberardo I think they began to be called a smartphone becsuse they have a brain as in computer OS and different from previous cell phones that may have had cameras. An old flip phone has a camera but is not a smart phone. There are other actual smart glasses that run on android and perhaps other OS too.
@@oldgoldtopgoldtop6039 perhaps 🤔
Another con is that they’re ugly. Great product but they should come in different styles like club master
They do have a few new styles available actually. But if you're not a "ray ban fan" yes, you won't like these.
Anyone using these is suspect imho, recording everything, a lot of times without the knowledge of others just screams "offender".
@@mr_b_hhc what are you speaking about 🤔
Bad review
🤔 sorry to hear ya say but what would you like to see MORE OF or did I miss something?
@@theberardoLmao u mean the best review. Love it my man, definitely see ur hardwork paying off in the long run. keep at it💪🏾
@@timdavid101 😆 ahhh appreciate that! 😉🙏🏻
My only cons is probably you're comparing the product to the flagship phone that is more expensive
@@toututu2993 “I’m comparing it?” Can you be more specific - I didn’t compare these glasses to any phone? 🤔
what brand is your pocket t shirt please
@@Eddie-y6x 🤔 hmm I don’t remember I think it’s either “Cotton On” or it could be “Abercrombie”
Please camera have zoom ????
@@MajdFateh no zoom.. but I zoom it in on my editing software 🤷🏻♂️
@@theberardo if I want to see through camera and use zoom .. do you know which glasses good for that .. I want to see in screen glasses through camera zoom for far away things.. thank you for help
@@MajdFateh yea I’m not sure if there’s any glasses that have that feature yet, If I’m understanding your question
What are the differences between theWayfarer,skyler,headliner models. I went to lens crafters at my local mall and it seems like they didn't know either.
Its just the style, no other differences (from what I've researched) - personally the Wayfarer, what I have, is the more traditional Rayban you might be used to and I THINK, it's the best
@theberardo I was at lenscrafter yesterday and I tried them all on and I think I like the version of frames that are more squarish
So you tell me that i cant take +3min videos ?😅
Ohhhhh yea!
Question, how far can the Bluetooth connect from your smartphone through listening to music ?
Good question, I've only tested out about 10ft.. but I'm sure it's just as good as maybe AirPods, BT headset etc
@@theberardo interesting. can it work similar to Apple Watch? Like, is there a music application storage inside the meta Ray-Bans smart glasses where you don’t have to rely on your smartphone connection to Bluetooth to listen to music, podcast, or any audio from afar?
@@juanguevara2846 there is not. I would say it’s more like a Bluetooth headset than anything, because it has a lot of extra features like one-touch to play music and meta AI.. but it’s no smart watch 😉 (yet)
@@theberardo dam is not there. I wouldn’t consider the smart glasses an investment yet. 😅 thanks for the information.
