I bought the Ray-Ban SMART glasses and decided to try them out by taking a call. I couldn’t stop laughing at the conversation, and people around me started staring at me like I’d lost my mind. They couldn’t see a phone or an earpiece, so it must have looked really strange. It was such a funny and surreal experience! 🤣
I’ve been looking at getting a pair specifically for the speakers while sitting at my desk at work. I’d love to have music or an audio book playing but still be able to hear what’s going on around me. Also, for anyone having the sliding down issue, if you can take them to an optometrist office and they can bend the frames behind your ears more so they don’t slide. 🙂 I used to work in an optometrist office and you can definitely get transitions for your prescription. 😁
I love the way Skyler looks on you vs the original pair. Skyler is the one I’m thinking to get. Especially for walking so I can listen to music or a podcast without my ears being plugged. What other apps does it pair with?
Nice! Love my Wayfarer's but the Skyler's look better on you. I think the Wayfarer's usually look better on men and the Skyler's look better on women, but lots of people may be new to Ray-Ban glasses and not familiar with the different models. Good choice!
I have the Wayfarer large and it slips a bit. My Oakleys do that too. Nose pads easily fix it, but you can’t use on wayfarers because it blocks charge port in case. I have mine as prescription progressive transitions and they are fantastic. Meta event is coming up shortly and I expect new features to be released then.
Unmatched! Love every video. Thanks for the updated video and for sharing in great detail. 👌🏾👏🏾 I prefer the style of the new ones. It’s so niceee and something I would definitely lean towards. Ooo! 😍
There are nose pad stickers that you can stick on glasses so they wont slip so much. Or another option is you can use a hook and attach on the arms of the glasses.
Thanks for the follow up video! I think you've just convinced me to buy them. When/if you get prescription lenses, do you think you're going to get lenses from Ray-Ban or somewhere else?
I have been very curious about these as someone who loves sunlgasses but I have a large head and am worried they wouldnt fit. I need to find somewhere to try them on :) Great review as always
I bought them twice too - but only because I lost my first pair at Super Nintendo World and I was too slow to make a travel insurance claim 😿😂. I love them though. My first pair was the matte black with transitions, my new pair is the denim blue with blue lenses. Love them. I use them so much! I just wish it could shoot 16:9, or at a higher resolution so I could crop to that.
Thanks for the video. This is cool tech! I looked at the Raybans as prescription glasses and unfortunately they were too big, (style wise), for my liking. If more styling options become available that I wouldn’t mind wearing (at least more often, if not all the time). This would be worth a look, as I like the idea. What is the sound bleed like on the speakers? Can others close to you hear what you are listening to?
Yeah they’re cool glasses. I’ve got a few other brands that I want to try out too. In terms of the sound, when the volume is above maybe about 55% then people can hear. At max volume people can definitely hear.
Interesting, thanks. Meta has some major issues with its products which are going to be hard to overcome. First, with the smart glasses. When I go shopping for reading glasses or sunnies, I try on all sorts of different ones in front of the mirror, trying to decide which ones are going to make me look really cool next time I am trying to chat up someone in a bar. But it seems like with the Meta glasses, I can choose this pair or that pair. Well, maybe there are a few more choices but you know what I mean. (Having said that, both those pairs look excellent on you and you are welcome to chat me up in any bar you like, so long as you don't mind the 50 year age gap). So, never mind the functionality, the lack of style choice is going to be an ongoing problem. Then when it comes to their VR headset, it is simply not that shareable, so unlike with a games console displayed on a TV, it is not easy to see what a great thing they are. So sales will always be inhibited. If it wasn't for that factor they would sell like phones. (I am using mine right now to type this, connected to my PC which is currently 50km across town).
I’m about to buy a pair, but hear all the negative reviews about the transitions not being as dark as the standard sunglasses. Do you experience this? For example if you are under a tree in the shade will the lenses remain dark? I guess there are pros and cons. That is you can wear transitions all day. It’s just I don’t think I will like the in between. I want it full dark outdoors and clear in doors. What is your experience?
If they ever change from vertical to horizontal I’ll be buying them but untill then it’s a no, I do really like them though and ticks every other box. Your videos are great though 👍
Great vid. I have a pair of transition meta wayfarers and like you wear them more than I thought. The speakers are great too. I did use a VPN to change my location which enabled me to use the full Ai.
Great video, and awesome glasses, the Ray-Ban Metas are phenomenal, but aint NO way, ZERO, that im buying a second pair! That's what I AINT gonna do! That's how they get you, I'm not about to be GOT. They knew folks would buy the sunglasses version, its all in marketing.. That's why they have the clip-ons..
I think the Ray-Ban Meta glasses would be better if there were two cameras, one on each corner. It could then do better with wide-screen and even 3D pictures and videos. I would also love to see the glasses add functionality and features like micro-LED projectors to provide a HUD-like overlay of information on the inside of the surface of lenses (see something like Even Realities G1). Maybe Samsung could make better smart glasses than Meta?
i think the issue of the camera placement, can be mitigated by your own orientation, as the wearer, in the environment you're in. By being at the center of the shot that you want to take. That way, even if you, the videographer/photographer/wearer are technically, "off to the side". If say, you're two or three steps to the left. Your footage, however, would be oriented correctly, as you'd prefer, in the middle, instead of the far right. But without compensating for that. You yourself are essentially ruining your own shot. Needless to say, there are ways to work around that. But the greatest flaw, as you've said... is that they don't shoot horizontally. Had they improved on this. I'd say, they'd been perfect, nevertheless. Side note: and i'm speculating here. But i'm sure Ray Ban, already has a future edition, with dual camera lenses, that can sync the footage from the cameras on both sides. That improvement on the hardware, would be the logical thing to do. They're most likely, just trying to milk the innovation for a little while. Being that they're the first to produce them commercially, at scale. And really, don't have a serious contender in the market place, at present.
to be honest the old one looks MUCH better on you...but yes...if it doesn't fit there is no point 🤷🏼♂ i think these glasses are just a trend anyway...and hopefully they will disappear again very quickly...they scare me 😅

Got covers to hide the lens light blinking and still be able to video record at the sametime
Love the style of the new ones!

@@TamaraGabrielUKI agree with you there! 😍

I tried the nose pads but they didn’t work as the glasses were just too wide. Happy with the Skyler ones though, they’re a great fit.
This was super helpful! Thanks for sharing
Skyler is more for women, it seems? May try Headliner.. Great vid Tamara! Thanks!
Did you have the larger frame Wayfair and then switched to the smaller frame Skylar? They come in two sizes.
No, I had the smaller Wayfarer frames.
Thanks for the follow up... I've been debating between these and the Amazon Echo Frames.
Thanks for the follow up video! I think you've just convinced me to buy them. When/if you get prescription lenses, do you think you're going to get lenses from Ray-Ban or somewhere else?
I’m not sure, I’m gonna have a look at various places that can do it and just compare price and turnaround time.
I have been very curious about these as someone who loves sunlgasses but I have a large head and am worried they wouldnt fit. I need to find somewhere to try them on :) Great review as always
Thanks! If you have a Sunglass Hut near you they will likely have some that you can try.
I have to purchase the stick on pads to keep my glasses from slipping down. It’s a problem with most glasses made out of these material.
I bought them twice too - but only because I lost my first pair at Super Nintendo World and I was too slow to make a travel insurance claim 😿😂. I love them though.

It kind of varies depending on light levels. Sometimes, I notice a slight tint when indoors.
Maybe the camera lens could be moved to the center and also a privacy cap / cover should be included so people can tell the camera is definitely off.
Can you tell me if these are the amethyst or blue transitions? I love these
Blue transitions
Another great video
Does the logo being on the sunglasses itself ever bother you? Can you see it when wearing the sunglasses?
Thanks! No, I don't really notice the logo when I'm wearing them.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thank you
It’s actually the bits that go around your ear that makes them slip like that.
Of course it’s gong to rain in London today …haha. I’m from Norwich 😅 Nice review, by the way. I love these glasses!
The shocker is when it’s not raining 😅
If they ever change from vertical to horizontal I’ll be buying them but untill then it’s a no, I do really like them though and ticks every other box. Your videos are great though 👍
@@exploresandtosummit hopefully they add that in a future update
🤞🏾
They can do firmware update for 16x9 aspect ratio but they don’t want to because they are forcing us to use facebook/instagram app.
Good video again Tamara
Thanks!
Great vid. I have a pair of transition meta wayfarers and like you wear them more than I thought. The speakers are great too. I did use a VPN to change my location which enabled me to use the full Ai.
What VPN do you use?
That’s a good idea actually, I didn’t think of that. I’ll give it a try as I really want the full meta experience.
@@TamaraGabrielUKI just did it today in new Zealand and it worked! So happy I can use the ai feature now.

Haha, I only bought a second pair so that I could get the Skylers for a better fit. I'll be selling the Wayfarers.

I put my order in for the G1s, can’t wait to try them out in a few weeks!
I just got transitions with a prescription and they’re awesome.
Think I'm gonna get mine done too, but I might hold off until my Even Realities G1 glasses arrive 👀
@@TamaraGabrielUK can you make a review
@Onyxx-d1x If you’re talking about the Even Realities glasses, then yeah, I definitely plan on reviewing them 😊
Here I'm hoping the Skyler aren't too small for me😂 It's the only shape I like
you do not talk about high bridge vs low bridge on any of them.
Listening on ny wayfarer , waiting for your video on how to unlock full meta outside of Usa . Regards from Dubai.

this was a very in depth review thank you, I think I will get the same blue tint you got with the transition and presricption
Welcome to Thailand
Thank you for the review. Unfortunately for me, this product requires a Meta account which conflicts with my privacy requirements.

Just getting started 😈
@@KenRick2010 hopefully not 😵💫
Once these can record more than 10 mins and can do landscape these will be more trendy than before 😅😅
@@kai_lemke I disagree. The skylar are way more feminine and look better on her imo.
The wayfare look more feminine to me. Like a pair of old teacher classes but in black
