Doesn’t seem worth it.. battery of 4 hours? I want to record my entire days not just 4 hours. Tech is too early to buy because we’re not that far in tech yet, soon I strongly believe that we’ll take a huge jump leap in tech, although that’s really not good for humanity.
No one is talking about this year, but it's worth mentioning they're usefulness to blind and visually impaired people. I know they can do things like read the menus and read text in general and tell you the color of something and I'm trying to find out more honestly, but I have heard a lot of good, and just wanted to mention that here as a blind person thinking of getting a pair :-) maybe I'll have to post my own video
@@anatorres8004 they also introduced a system where you can call a already existing company to help people with low or impaired people, the people in the call will read out loud what's in front of the camera, you should check the meta connect 2024 the section aboyt the ray ban smart glasses
me to I got horrible eyes and never been a fan of glasses but I can’t read or drive and stuff without and I think these would make me like my glasses a lot more always been a tech nerd lol
I came here for the review, but now, instead of being impressed with the glasses, I am impressed with the quality of the video. Just thought you should know that.
anxiety the speed of information about the glasses in this viedo, like wow its like high school when you have nothing to say but essay has to be 100 words!!!!!
I have a pair. Love em. My husband got jealous and got his own pair. Loves em. They've gotten consistent software updates and useful software upgrades. One of the rare tech purchases that was actually exactly as advertised.
Smart wear is the future. I work in retail so video camera is a no go for me. So I went with the Amazon Echoframes 3rd gen and they are just as good as these and you can switch from Alexa to Google for the ai.
I have been threatened 3 times this year by road ragers and crazy people on the streets. I called the cops on them, but without video evidence, the cops did nothing. i want these glasses to be my second pair of eyes.
I never even knew these existed until I was in lense crafters yesterday. Now a part of me wants me to get them as permanent glasses but I wish they had more frame options
Honestly, I'm pretty impressed with the audio sound quality. I've only been wearing them for a few days and have almost completely abandoned by AirPods. I live in a major city, I'm constantly running after the train and my AirPods have slipped off SO many times. It's so nice to not have to carry extra items when you're commuting. Second impressive feature was the camera quality, I was not expecting it to be so clear and the videos are clear/HD. Lastly, the AI feature is neat... Excited to see what the future holds for this category.
They are a bit expensive but worth it. I selected the prescription option. I am able to listen to music, take calls, pics and videos quickly. The glasses can feel about it heavy at times and with the case I am able to keep them charged a full day with use.
@@danielglenn9617 - Keep in mind the primary function of these glasses are prescription or sunglasses and will work all the time. However, if you are planning to take pictures, videos, and make calls throughout the day the battery will drain fast. Make sure to keep your case and USB-C cable with you for a quick charge up when needed.
@@TalebannTonio fixed cameras is a different thing. And very few of them run by individuals. And security cameras is a different thing because you won't see yourself on the net on a video, and won't a stranger for example see that you are eg. attend to a political party's event, or watching at home your girlfriend/daughter walked on the street or was at the beach daytime. OK you have mobile but with that the recording cannot be hidden as easily.
Until they've completed the frying of your brain, and taken details of everywhere you go, who you speak to, what you say. Why anyone would want such privacy invasion boggles the mind.
I love mine with transition lens. I have used them skiing and the ease of taking a photo or video with your voice and not reaching in your jacket is fantastic. Also indoors while on a car to take an image hands free of wiring before taking it apart is very useful. Using them in public for music is great because you don’t look like that nerd that wants to be isolated wearing earbuds, but yet you have background music and able to take a call. Transition don’t get as dark, but more ch more useful indoors or out. I wear prescription glasses so these are just an extra pair for outdoor or indoor activities win they add “value” with their features.
Shooting video only in portrait mode, especially considering that the cameras themselves are laid out horizontally, is an insane decision (and the reason I haven’t purchased them)
I think the reason they made it vertical is so it integrates better with Facebook and how content is displayed on that platform. Also since videos are limited to a minute. Landscape mode wouldn't make as much sense because if you're scrolling, you wouldn't want to turn your phone each time to watch a video
Nah, my smart tracks my workouts and runs, way too many health benefits for smart watches for these glasses to be better. Apple Watches also alert first responders when you get in an accident
I have a pair! and it never ceases to amaze me to listen to music without headphones. I totally recommend it if you are looking for a different experience. But I am intrigued by your wallet with an AirTag slot!
Just ordered a pair on Black Friday sale. It feels like every time I’m outside and wearing sunglasses is also very likely a time when something fun I want to record happens, especially for somebody working from home like me. On weekends I usually go karting, rock climbing, or a bit of spirited driving in the canyons - none of which is an activity you can just pull out your phone while in the moment. Pretty excited.
So basically these are a good bench market for the category but a Google or apple version would probably be better since these two companies excel in the integration category. Great review as always.
Sounds like a solid 1st gen product at a decent price point relative to the name brand. At least it won't won't end up forgotten in a drawer in 6 months. Lol
Ik this sounds like a dumb question but when your listening to music is the sound leakage bad from them? Also when you ask the ai a question does it say the answer into your ear or out loud?
@@Ksiolijideb yeah I think you will get close to that about like AirPods. But you snap them in the case and they charge up really fast. I use the for zoom calls and other functions and u rarely drain them in normal use.
I purchased the prescription version with transitions with surplus HSA account funds. The technology is sweet, but i didn’t get much use out of the features due to my lifestyle. I couldn't wear the frames at the gym, university, or work.
@Player-oz2nk GYM: I couldn't wear the frames at the gym because I'd look like a pervert. I don't want to go to jail because people think I am spying on them workout. University: Many universities have a zero tolerance policy for cheating/plagiarism. Wearing frames with recording capabilities is a one-way trip to expulsion. Work: I work with highly sensitive and confidential information. I can(will) be fired if it's discovered if I'm wearing a camera on my face, lol. Possibly even jailed and fined.
WHY are the videos in portrait view when eyes are in landscape view? It's only using a third of the screen. If there is no way to change to landscape, that is a glaring oversight and will make videos look so amateur. I was trying to figure out if I wanted these or not, as there are features I would never use, but that just unsold me. Thanks for saving me a bundle!
As someone who works as an Optical Assistant/Dispenser (albeit not with Raybans) in my experience, Transition Sunglass lenses are NOT worth it. Unless they've somehow managed to crack the code on them, in my personal experience, I have not found regular Transition lenses to be reliable if you intend to use them while driving a car (as if you have things like tinted windows it can disrupt/limit the tinting process) and on days when the weather is overcast or cloudy, it can produce insistent results with how dark they get.
I just received mine yesterday. Once they got the Meta AI capeability they seemed more than worth the cost, and I'm very surprised by the exceptional sound quality. When you ask Meta what you are seeing they apparently use the camera lens but it doesn't take or store photo, apparently, it just "sees" what you see and answers. So far, correctly framing photos doesn't seem to be an issue. I imagine if you are trying to capture a very close subject or view the lens' position on the left side of the frame might be a factor, but it doesn't seem a problem for my interests.
I love mine and use them way more than I thought I would. I wish they could do 60fps and if I could do it all over again I would get the transition lenes
What I always wondered is if you had the prescription glasses. Is when you go into a building or a place that doesn't allow cameras and recordings, can someone force you to take off your glasses but would that be a conflict of interest from the ADA laws for a medical device.
Great for handsfree and POV shots and clips, without having to hold the smartphone. That’s terrific when you have babies or are hands on with many tasks. Complaining about fit, weight, software limitations is to be expected for new adopters. 😊
The what am I looking at function is utterly transformational for people with a sight problem, could you do something with that there are millions of us
I saw them yesterday and today i was really really considering getting them, thanks for the video. imma wait a couple of years to see what else they can manage to squeeze into them.
thanks! We live in the OBX too and my bf is a biker...really trying to find a christmas gift for him , he loves RayBans and recording while riding so I hope this works out for him
A big question I am trying to find out. I want to use them to start critiquing myself with the game of pool. I am not the best shot. Would I be able to "stream" myself for later review? Or is there something else that you would recommend that would give me a POV shot of what I see
What's the battery life when not using the features? The features we want will most likely be available down the road, i wonder if the updates would be a possible DL feature or send them in to be upgraded instead of buying a new pair!
Is it necessary to have Bluetooth enabled in order to take pictures/videos? Or can it function perfectly fine without Bluetooth enabled for pictures/videos and just enable Bluetooth later to sync with device?
I was waiting until Meta keynote and when they didn't announced new version of these I've ordered one with polarized lenses. My plan is to use them on the beach and record playing beach tennis. Also, I am going to wear them while riding bicycle with background music. Like you said they're designer glasses with some nice add-ons. That's enough for me.
This was very helpful. I’m considering getting some but it sound like it might be better to wait for next gen or competitor to make one. At least the weight difference would help.
Thanks for the thoughts. I’m thinking about getting a set primarily as POV glasses for short form juggling lessons and capturing moments during my performances that would otherwise be difficult to capture without being really obvious to an audience. Seems like they have some very interesting potential! Great video. Thanks!
Thank you for the review; that's super helpful. I wondered if it could mirror other apps on iPhone beside using Meta view, it's like treating Ray-Ban Meta as an external monitor for iPhone. Could Ray-Ban Meta do this?
One of my friends told me something that I just can't forget when it comes to smart glasses. In the future, she believes that with the facial recognition technology, creepy people will be able to pull up her information in a second and find out where she lives, where she works, her family members, and anything that really identifies her. Just think of how many stalkers will be able to do all this or even everyday people, not to mention the privacy concerns of Facebook and Meta.
Your friend's future is closer than you think: www.nytimes.com/2024/10/24/technology/facial-recognition-glasses-privacy-harvard.html?unlocked_article_code=1.V04.zfoV.yk_qH3rA2_t9&smid=url-share - Josh
meta started with a good pair of glasses as theri first version, but i would buy them only when they will implement bone conduction speakers, good ai features, like chatgpt current version, that can probably help you also with the direction to reach a place analyzing the image or other smarter things than their current version. And the last thing is battery life: as you say in the video, the minimum time i would accpet is 8 hours, i know it s hard to fit a good battery inside a pair of glasses, but around 8 hours is the sweet spot. After they implement these 3 features i will buy them, also for a higher price like 600, the ai features can help a lot if the model is intelligent and can analyze what you are looking at (but it must be smarter than the actual model).
Thought about getting these with prescription, I work security and I think this would be useful but the price plus the prescription costs is a major purchase
I just got them. I am not a fan. The battery life is horrible. I thought it would be able to help me read small print but it doesnt seem to be able to read it any better than I can. I guess I will see how much use I get out of it while on vacay this weekend.
Other than the camera they don’t seem that different from my bose frames smart glasses. The day they get a heads up display for the lenses I’m not sure the price tag is justified but I love my glasses enough to own 2 generations of it.
Yes, the Google Maps audio would play over its speakers like any other bluetooth accessory, but navigation isn't built into the glasses themselves. You'd need to start navigation on your phone.
Vertical video and picture for the camera is the dumbest thing they decided on. Such a bummer. Whoever implemented that should burn in hell lol. Thanks to your review, I'll be looking elsewhere for a proper camera orientation glasses.
Can anyone tell me how is the music voice of this actually i m tired of using ear bud thinking to listen music from this is this good enough please provide the feedback 😊
Thank you for the honesty because I was going to buy but now I’d rather wait till they upgrade the battery and certain features that will benefit me because I drive trucks and I need a way better battery life to last at least 8 hours hopefully even 10 hours but we shall see

At least they can still be used as glasses when the battery is drained. Headphones can't, phones can't, electric car....nope.

A pair of glasses

How long ya get

I think I'll hold out until the 2nd gen version of the glasses comes out as it'll probably address many of the concerns you mentioned.
This is the 2nd gen :)
I’ll wait for the 3rd generation then. More of a slim down less obvious camera version.

They'll transfer into the Meta View app as well as your camera roll on your iPhone (if you enable that option). From there you can share them. - Josh
is it able to read text? because that would be good for people with adhd
Will it record audio only? If so, for how long?

This was my thought too, but the portrait lock, and 3 minute limit is the deal breaker.
So they are just glasses with a speaker mic and wifi Bluetooth for calls. Oh and a camera. . . But no user interface or screen?
Is it necessary to have Bluetooth enabled in order to take pictures/videos? Or can it function perfectly fine without Bluetooth enabled for pictures/videos and just enable Bluetooth later to sync with device?
Would love to buy one for cycling.
I was waiting until Meta keynote and when they didn't announced new version of these I've ordered one with polarized lenses. My plan is to use them on the beach and record playing beach tennis. Also, I am going to wear them while riding bicycle with background music. Like you said they're designer glasses with some nice add-ons. That's enough for me.
This was very helpful. I’m considering getting some but it sound like it might be better to wait for next gen or competitor to make one. At least the weight difference would help.
Thanks for the thoughts. I’m thinking about getting a set primarily as POV glasses for short form juggling lessons and capturing moments during my performances that would otherwise be difficult to capture without being really obvious to an audience. Seems like they have some very interesting potential! Great video. Thanks!
How long does it take for the glasses to start? Need prescription lenses so was thinking about turning them off to preserve battery.
~15-30 seconds or so
Were are the photos you take save?
Thank you for the review; that's super helpful. I wondered if it could mirror other apps on iPhone beside using Meta view, it's like treating Ray-Ban Meta as an external monitor for iPhone. Could Ray-Ban Meta do this?
I bought mine for when I'm at work cuting trees down have gotten some Stellar shots of me climbing and cutting
Can you charge the case? Or does the case need to be plugged to charge?
The case has 32 hours of charging for the glasses. It doesn't need to be plugged in to charge
One of my friends told me something that I just can't forget when it comes to smart glasses. In the future, she believes that with the facial recognition technology, creepy people will be able to pull up her information in a second and find out where she lives, where she works, her family members, and anything that really identifies her. Just think of how many stalkers will be able to do all this or even everyday people, not to mention the privacy concerns of Facebook and Meta.
Your friend's future is closer than you think: www.nytimes.com/2024/10/24/technology/facial-recognition-glasses-privacy-harvard.html?unlocked_article_code=1.V04.zfoV.yk_qH3rA2_t9&smid=url-share - Josh
meta started with a good pair of glasses as theri first version, but i would buy them only when they will implement bone conduction speakers, good ai features, like chatgpt current version, that can probably help you also with the direction to reach a place analyzing the image or other smarter things than their current version. And the last thing is battery life: as you say in the video, the minimum time i would accpet is 8 hours, i know it s hard to fit a good battery inside a pair of glasses, but around 8 hours is the sweet spot. After they implement these 3 features i will buy them, also for a higher price like 600, the ai features can help a lot if the model is intelligent and can analyze what you are looking at (but it must be smarter than the actual model).
Im seeing this is their second version, are they planning on releasing a third version?
too bad if I use Fliip5 so many functions don't work in glasses?
They make a great dash cam !
I have low vision and in our independent living classes these glasses were recommended
That’s a great review.
With time they will improve maybe then I can consider buying one.
Thought about getting these with prescription, I work security and I think this would be useful but the price plus the prescription costs is a major purchase
You convinced me, I’m picking these up
Would anyone recommend using these instead of a dash cam for a 1 hour long commute?
Videos limit to 3 minutes if I remember correctly. It’s to keep the internal temperature down.
I had the exact same thought, once the tech develops i think it’ll be a killer for replacing dashcams
Definitely get a dash cam instead, they are much cheaper, but more importantly more reliable, which is the most important thing for a dash cam
I came for the reviews and left as an influencer LOL. Your setup is awesome!
Hopefully I get mine on Christmas
why not a action camera like the small insta360
I just got them. I am not a fan. The battery life is horrible. I thought it would be able to help me read small print but it doesnt seem to be able to read it any better than I can. I guess I will see how much use I get out of it while on vacay this weekend.
Just question do have a substitute ray-ban? Let know us 😅
Great review!! I was waiting for it 🕶️🕶️
Extremely happy with the transitions.
Because of these I’ve been making content that has been seen by millions.
Where can I watch?
@@BestTrader-hp2sd I have the same username here on TikTok & Instagram.
how long can you record 3min videos until battery is empty when bluetooth is off and hey meta is off?
Can you change the lens to prescription lens?
He said yea
The camera only shoot in portrait? Pity, that's a no-go
Other than the camera they don’t seem that different from my bose frames smart glasses. The day they get a heads up display for the lenses I’m not sure the price tag is justified but I love my glasses enough to own 2 generations of it.
can i do use google maps navigation with it?
Yes, the Google Maps audio would play over its speakers like any other bluetooth accessory, but navigation isn't built into the glasses themselves. You'd need to start navigation on your phone.
Vertical video and picture for the camera is the dumbest thing they decided on. Such a bummer. Whoever implemented that should burn in hell lol. Thanks to your review, I'll be looking elsewhere for a proper camera orientation glasses.
too biased for phone users
Good luck lol
4 hours was the deal breaker
How many 3 minute videos can it record on a charge?
Can anyone tell me how is the music voice of this actually i m tired of using ear bud thinking to listen music from this is this good enough please provide the feedback 😊
I am watching this video using my glasses
I don't understand. What do you mean by that
I was blind but I got the glasses and I’m still blind
I have a galaxy note 20 and I can only use the speakers but it wont let me open the camera is it because of the phone???
Where is the video stored?
How does one get the glasses to read text ?
You can be like “Hey meta, translate the text that I am looking at”
I'm not sold, yet. Once this tech gets really good, I'm so in
How long can you record a video on these? Thought that would have been mentioned.
3 minutes
Thank you for the honesty because I was going to buy but now I’d rather wait till they upgrade the battery and certain features that will benefit me because I drive trucks and I need a way better battery life to last at least 8 hours hopefully even 10 hours but we shall see
Doesnt work with my phone. Only works with samsung pixel and apple. No andriod 13 samsung either. Im sad😢
