HONEST REVIEW RayBan META Wayfarer SMART GLASSES 

If you wear a hoodie with them on. The speakers get 3X as loud

I'm going to wait for this model. The next version should have some type of stabilization and use cameras on both sides to combine the images similar to a 360 camera.

Excellent review bro. Objectively just a good all around breakdown of the product

Tech Fowler, I normally do not reply to any RU-vid videos, however, I thing you did an honest review of the Rayban Smart sunglasses. I wanted to let you know that I really needed to know about the "portrait /landscape question. Nobody answered that except you! I will wait until 4K and that option becomes available. Also, It appears that all the room may be available in the future =for them also to put a second camera on the left for 3D. I will wait for at least 4K continuoius recording w/ 128GB storage Thanks for your video!! Jerry

Apple Vision Pro: now you can wear a brick on you head and nobody would notice for only 5000$ Meta/Oculus: now you can wear sunglasses with advanced AI for only 300$

Pretty sure I gotta get a pair of these...great vid, dude. Appreciate it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I would need horizontal to make them worth buying

As someone that used to work in an optical your points about the adjusting and polarized lenses over tinted one are on point. Maybe ppl with higher Rx might be bothered by the extra weight of the frame even with thin lenses. Also, are these waterproof or resistant?

Informative review, thanks! I'm interested to get one. It seems practical and easy to use to record videos while I'm riding my motorbike. 🙏👍

Thank you so much for providing a down to earth truthful review. I think I am going to wait and see if they get better.

hi... Great video!.... What size did you choose ?

Out in public the bleed is almost non existent. Inside in a quiet environment put the volume at 25% and only you can hear it loud and clear. Outside go about 50-75%. If you're in a VERY noisy environment you're not going to hear that well. My opinion is they should have integrated bone conduction as well as speakers that lets you switch between modes.

love seth tech channel

I have the first-generation Stories; I love them when I am fishing in Costa Rica. You can just touch to turn on and you record exactly what you are seeing. So many times, I thought someone was recording the event to find out that it was just missed. I have so many fantastic memories from different events that were just not obtainable without them. I just wonder if it worth it to upgrade to the new style and options. " Christmas is coming "

That’s a good option for action moments like skiing, on roller coasters, etc

Great review! Do you think they'll ever come out with a firmware update to increase the video recording time beyond 1 minute?

Love your content and your socks Seth Apthcry

My wife just ordered me the transition lenses as a gift, I'm excited to check them out!

Thanks for this very helpful review!

Really good review

Wow. very nice review!!🙌💯 I probably consider of getting one. so cool😎

I just got a free pair working with sunglass hut and i love them

Its seth 😂😂 i didn’t expect that at all

Off topic, but are you using a mic in your video? that's the clearest audio quality I've heard in a while. If you are, do you mind telling me what mic it is? I'm looking for a good quality one.

I have the first generation and I didn't use them very much at all. My wife however uses them all of the time on our travels. Everyone gets hung up on the video quality, but I think the story of the video is much more important than whether it's 4k or not.

Cool audio love the spacial audio as my headphones use it and me stereo has atmos it really is the best surround sound

I love mine. The only complaint is that the battery is not powerful and doesn't last more than 2 hours. The other things are amazing, answer my calls without hands, ready my msgs and take pictures with my voice is awesome. I have to buy some nose grips because I have an oily face, yes I have a prescription, progressive and transition... AWESOME ❤❤❤❤

I have them, the video quality is actually great!

I didn’t hear you mention the on off switch on the inside of the left corner / hinge area of the glasses.

I have the prescription transitions lenses and they're a game changer. I'm never working without listening to music again lol

I compared them with standard wayfarers today and I was shocked how close they were to the standard frame.

Good video man

I play in a band and am really looking forward to try and stream a whole concert! That'd be fun!

Not a fan on my end of the polarized ones at night and indoors, so I picked up the Transitions version…about to open those up, but the hope is that at events and in the evening, I can still rock them to capture content!

I got these to take pov videos of my son ! The audio is fine I like them because in ear headphones always tend to bother me ! The meta assistant is pretty good you can pretty much ask it anything ! 1 con I wear hats and if you do it will show up in the videos !

I wish you could record the last 60 seconds vs having to hit record for the next 60 seconds

One video that I had to watch 3 or 4 others before I got what I wanted just from yours , lots of useful info answering most of my questions, it’s a bit weird how you want ANOTHER charging cable, just how many do you need, check around your home I’m sure you will find one, yep, good video 👍👍

Just so everyone knows these don't work when you are travelling to a foreign country because Meta only supports these in selected countries. So if you are a traveller these sunglasses and it's features are no good to you .. I learnt it the hard way after buying these in US and have them shipped to India and guess what they don't work

All I want is glass to translate onscreen Japanese so I can play Imported games

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 - v6 update now allows 3min vids 😎

You forgot to add a chapter where you start talking about video recording. It's all included in one big "Microphones" chapter. Just FYI.

is this ideal for pov recording? if not what’s a better choice

Hi, nice review which size are you wearing?

I really like the frames these use they really should be water resistant because or rain or sprays if they are prescription

The first ones look good on you!!

when paired to an iphone, if it’s able to use mics for calls and metas ai, is it able to trigger siri?

Just got them, amazing stuff but 16:9 and longer record times would make this unbelievably handy. Stable with nice image and video quality. Battery life could be a little better. Pretty sure next iteration will resolve at least 2 out of these 3 !

Do you think these could work under a motorcycle helmet or to record when you Mountainbike or ride a bicycle?

I’m so sad 😢 I got mines just a few months ago and now they launched this version which is way better 🙁 I should’ve waited, but when I did my research they said there was not launch day yet or confirmation for the launch 😣 Loved this video!

It’s funny how you went through this entire video, without mentioning the smart assistant feature of the glasses as well.

I enjoyed your review. I just purchased a pair last night so I'm not super familiar with them. However you do seem more pleased about your glasses than I do. One topic that you didn't touch on very much was the live streaming. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I can't find it anywhere but I see you have to be connected through Wi-Fi to live stream. Well I like to do 5K walk/runs and I wanted to live stream them. Kind of hard to connect to a Wi-Fi if you're out and about on a run course. I can't find a way around this. I even tried to connect my phone's hotspot and it couldn't do that so I tried to connect my hotspot And my Wi-Fi and the app told me I had to shut off my hotspot. If you know a way around this please reply back to this. I really want to keep these glasses but as I see it right now they won't function the way that I want them to. Thank you in advance

What’s the max record length? Is it still one minute at a time?

Just wondering if they sync with iphone health will give heart rate and fitness stats and perhaps navigation and gps?

They have to get a bigger selection before I could consider buying them

Can you record on your glasses and also your phone at the same time?

I ordered transitions but they have too much glare. So I'm considering ordering a second pair being sunglasses only. Are they better?

would be useful if they dropped the 60 second clip limit and just let us record video as long as we needed

Wow. These are sick. Too expensive though. Times have changed. That same exact pair of shades that have been around a long time has gone futuristic. Very cool.

I Wonder if it can be paired to the phone with bluetooth so the video could be recorded on the phone not the glasses?

“Hey man what’s up?” “WshhhhhhHhhHh I got those lbs shhhhhh”

Are the lens visually enhanced like Oakley prism?

Subbed up BRO!!!

I’m more of an occasional user, a few photos here and there some music, watch some RU-vid videos etc maybe a short call and my glasses are normally still at around 30-40% when I take them off to go to bed. I use prescription lenses so i need to be wearing them at all times

If your security these are very useful

Wow they fit you really well.

These could do with bone conduction for sound. Can one zoom when taking pictures

I bought mine so I can hear music while riding my motorcycle 😂

Introducing the peeping Tom shades hahahha

Do you have to have your phone out to use them?

Just bought these

These remind me of Android version 1+ of software. Wait for Android version 4 or 6, by which time they'll have fixed all the bugs, incorporated landscape recording, lengthened battery life, price will have come down, etc. The old saying "you can tell the pioneers by the arrows on their backs" applies.

Needs transitional lenses for indoor outdoor use. And removable earbuds on the ends.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the AI features. According to Zuck, you can query meta’s Ai engine and ask it to translate a sign or what a landmark is. Anyone know if that feature works?

Will voice commands take over Google or any other voice commands?

Waiting for at least a basic HUD similar to Apple Watch

How long does the video recording last per recording? Does it only let you record 30 seconds or can you got for minutes?

How easy it to make a 10 minute video from editing the 1 minute videos together, do you miss anything in-between the edits

Would be cool is it had pre-record function

My Stories model (new) has failed to show videos I’m positive that I recorded twice. I’m hesitant to buy the latest.

So can these see what you see real time and use ai to answer questions at what your seeing?

bro i have +6 eyes, definitely feel ya ✌🏻

Are they also screen mirroring when you put navigation on?

I want these for driving and recording any potential road accidents as evidence. Any other alternatives than just a simple dash cam?

Charges with USB-C charging included in packaging.

Is there any reason to buy them if my main use is not for photos and videos,my main use is while driving? What are the other use case with them?

I don't see an option to buy these with prescription lenses.

For the record you cannot adjust the fit of the galsses theres 2 sizes but the both kind of awkward depending on your face

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?

Question... is it possibly for it to take photos without pressing the button or voice activation, say for instance automatically take photos every 30 seconds or something?

Can the glasses zoom in ?

Can you get them for regular prescription Glasses?

Can we use it without iPhone

How did I not know you had a tech channel?! Does MKBHD have a sneaker channel??

I ordered the transition prescription lenses with the g15 rayban tint. can’t wait to pick them up from lens crafters today I’ve been waiting for two weeks. Lens crafters had a 50% off sale going on, used a $50 coupon and they gave me an additional $50 off. Came to $500. I already got a $400 reimbursement from insurance even before I got the glasses lmao. That and I bought the year insurance from lens crafters so it’s $25 I believe to replace the frames and $25 for the lenses.

What size are you wearing?

Glasses on: Chris Pratt. Glasses off: Seth Fowler 😃

Hey, what size are these ?

What size are they frame size and length wise ?

are they water resistant?

Whats the maximum length of a video you can record with these? More than 1 min?
