Rayban Meta Review: Real Day In The Life! 

I think this is my favorite real day in the life that we've made in the last few months - hope you like it so stoked about what we're making here together Also January looks like its going to be INSANE - so stoked to share it with you and experience it together!

Love to see competition in this area. Competition helps move technology forward.

Merry Christmas Jacklyn! Thank you for all the entertainment in 2023😊

Awesome video, NBTJ! I’m so glad that you reviewed this with an honest day-in-the-life experience. I have long hair too, so I’ve been wondering how it would affect the camera. Thanks for touching on that! I’d love to see a follow-up video to this where you spend more time with the glasses in different environments, plus using the new multimodal A.I. camera update. Excellent work as always! 👍

The aspect ratio and forced use of FB is a definite deal breaker. For sports the frame needs to be unbreakable and made of a flexible material and come with a safety strap. I'm sure there will be better alternatives to choose from fairly soon - hopefully with a built in phone.

Nice review!!! I love it! ♥️ what colors is your Lens?

Merry Christmas Jacklyn🥃

NBTJacklyn, those glasses are awesome!

well done with the video review. i just got my wayfarer with prescription progressive lenses. I am enjoying the meta glasses BUT the battery eats fast! I have to carry the case with me at all times or turn off the glasses when not in use.

Do they work with videos and other visible features without anything? If they do can it work with apple phones?

This was so cool! If I could afford to add these into my daily routine, I would definitely have a pair, as they really seem to help enhance a lot of different aspects in a person’s life. Smart glasses are definitely improving with every iteration! Well done as always, Jacklyn! I hope you have an absolutely wonderful Christmas!!

Omg those glasses are pretty cool. Wud love to try them out but i wear glasses and need them more!😂

Incredibly smart and under-the-hood details in this video. This tech seems still so early stage, but already so effective!!

Jacklyn Much Respect for your Honesty. I have not been on FB for years but I do love Ray-Ban for many years and they look Amazing on you.I am also very happy your leg is doing better. It was great seeing you out there enjoying. Happy New Year to you and Zach. Thanks again for another wonderful Video.✌️

I have a love hate relationship with these glases. I bought a set of the transition lense version of it, and they worked great for a couple of days, but then, everytime I tried to livestream, the glasses would disconect immediately. (the only work around was to uninstall and reinst all the metaview app to get them working again... but that would only work for a day, and then back to square one). In addition, people said that whne taking calls, i sounded distant and low... SO I returned them (hard to keep a pair of $400 flitchy glasses). Then yesterday i found a person selling the same glasses (used) on marketplace for $170, and I bought them (Glitches at $170 are acceptable). ODLY ENOUGH, THEse pairs have had no issues so far... NONE! So maybe an initial bad pair? Anyways, 2 pieces of advice, if you feel you will stream or take many indoor videos, do yourself a favor and BUY THE TRANSITION VERSION... its horrible to stream videos indoors while wearing dark glasses. The Transitions is the way to go. Second, be aware that the only way to record videos longer than 1 minute is to do the livestream video, and then save that video (to later transfer or capture it)... but if the video is from a live concert or event, YOU WILL LIKELY GET STRUCK WITH A COPYRIGHT WARNING FROM FACEBOOK, AND THEY WILL PROCEED TO MUTE THE VIDEO AUDIO :( Anyways, at $400, its a tough pill to swallow with current glitches, but at $170... id buy them all day long :) P.S. i collect arcade machines and ppinballs, abnd these glasses are a dream for streaming pinpall gameplay!

I love seeing how this works just walking around town. As a prescription glasses wearer, I am curious how well the prescription version works (not curious enough to spend $300+ though). If it catches on, I'm hoping they will come out with a non-luxury-brand version.

What kind of lens do you have?

Great Video! I just got mine last week and I'm still figuring out all of the functions. Thanks for touching on the privacy issue with FB as during the setup it asked me for access to all of my photos which I'm not 100% on board with. Is it just to write new photos or did I just give Meta permission to suck all of my photos and videos up into their servers?

Thanks for sharing. Christmas blessings to you.

Is this will work alone without meta view apps?

Im just grabbed a couple of pair of these myself! These are LEGIT!!! Im using them to get some first-person B-Roll for my videos haha

For video framing easiest way would be for use your phone to see what’s in frame and then just use a marker in the inside of the lens for where the camera frame is in your field of view, pretty easy to do if that really matters to you

i'm so happy to see smart glasses going viral

Your videos are always the best and definitely the future of this tech in smart glasses is definitely exciting

Nothing But Tech 🙌🙌😍😍😍

Amazing tech, amazing video! Well done!

The accessibility part combined with LLM seems exciting, but the whole thing (paired with Meta/FB) feels “dirty”. Great video.

Thanks for such a great review again......

I'm gonna ask Does the video degrade when uploaded to Instagram or does it retain the quality with which it was recorded? I would also like to know how the interface is on Android. Is it the same as IOS or in what aspects does it change? Greetings from Mexico City México 🇲🇽

If you take them off and put them sideways and hang them on the neck of your shirt, would the video rotate the image or would everything looks sideways when you view the footage later?

Hey Jacklyn how are you doing? Great review and I enjoyed watching it and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Day .

"Ya say ya want a revolution....welllll, ya know.... we all wanna change the world." 🥰

Good review thanks you answered all my questions

It would be a great product if video is horizontal 4K. On the other hand you can’t get these at least not in Europe. I have been waiting for to be able to make order now over a month.

These are so cool!!

Love your reviews in general. And loved this Ray-Bans Meta review. A friend had gotten me the first rev glasses as a Christmas present 2 years ago. Seems like the Meta version is better in just about every way, plus they add AI features. Think I'll be saving up to get prescription lenses with the Transitions so I can use them indoors and out. As someone who walks on crutches, these glasses are awesome... they let me take pictures and/or video when I'm on my feet. That's not possible for me with a smartphone.

Jacklyn the MLS is calling.

Nice review! I picked up the Wayfarer version, same color theme recently.

Jacklyn Merry Christmas to you and your family

Look at Jacklyn having a magical day and leaping day :D 🕶️ Merry Christmas 🎄🦕🎁

You looked like a kid in a candy store! No cold brew! You are awesome 😎

I think these would be great for driving, Conventions, hobbing, Lego/gunpla/model building/Art... Or just wanting to capture something right there if you wear it all the time and taking a phone out of your pocket is to slow/impossible... Like Gopros are great but are never right unless you have time to set up. But yeah even my Quest 3 has that same light and while it is nice to have on that for passthough... recording need to be red... My Blue yeti studio has a red light for armed/on/recording and flashing for muted... Even that could have more lights but still I wish the m,etas has white for passthough/AI and Red for recording at least.

I made a prototype from some Chinese glasses with a camera and I have managed to control them without touching them or saying a single word. What's more, you can look at me with them on and I'll give you $100 if you guess when l'm taking photos or videos of you. I am doing some things to get a superior prototype and launch them on the market through crowdfunding, but I am going slowly since I have never launched any other product. The control system using cephalic-facial gestures can be incorporated into any glasses, including Ray-Ban | Goal. The sensors that I incorporate are 3 and they do not consume any additional energy to function, in addition, I also made a system for them to charge them while you use them without it being noticed and it has turned out as I expected. The glasses still look identical, you don't notice anything additional when you wear them.

Love the videos marry Christmas to you and your family

These should only have Transitions lenses if they expect you to use them in all circumstances including indoors.

Wearing a camera and microphone that could even remotely possibly connect to "facebook/meta" will never - repeat N-E-V-E-R - EVER going to happen in this or any other universe.

I think I would use this to catch quick pics on the fly or on vacation

As much as I want to love this leap in technology, my main gripes are the following: 1) the aspect ratio really ought to have horizontal framing enabled; 2) sunglasses are useless indoors which leads me to the most important dealbreaker for me; 3) installation of prescription lenses in Europe costs double of the sunglasses. The base price sunglasses are sold in Europe at €329 & prescription lenses bump it up to €608 or €718 with transitions + prescription. (Only possible via Ray Ban stores at the moment; two opticians couldn’t believe how much Ray Ban is charging for the service until they saw the quote). At that excessive price point they need to be less limited in their functionality.

Ordered mine with prescription lens. I’m excited.

I find it interesting that Meta has the glass be a separate thing to their XR lines... You would think the glasses would just use the quest app were you do have a viewfinder for the quests and the Quests could record with their external camera and have the AI features that the glasses do... Like that is a very odd choice from a company wanting to make a meta verse and be all the things.

I really like these things, I might actually buy a pair.

It'd be nice that when the camera get high-res enough you can just configure it to crop to center.

Can't wait to see how this form factor of Technology evolves.

I love my pair especially in NYC

Jacklyn I guess meta should work on feature called live blur like Google maps. See today roughly every person has access to Facebook and Instagram so meta should develop an option in it's apps to calibrate their face and turn on the blur mode and then that facial data will get uploaded to metas database from which this glasses can render and identify the peoples preferences who turned on that blur option and who's not... I know it's kinda not working thing but can work and can be one of the solution to protect privacy without annoying the other person... And if one want to shoot one person with this glasses they just need to send a unblur request to his phone so that glasses will not put the filmed person in blur mode...

can you compare the audio quality with shokz

🕶🎬🕶🎬🕶👍Great Review

Great Video!

How much price in omani riyal

I bought 3 pairs. One for each adult daughter and one for myself. Two things i would prefer: 1. Unlimited video 2. The ability to record just audio.

Great Video! With camera , sensor, Wifi, Bluetooth signal surrounding the brain, the brain will get sicker much faster, at that time, Meta will of course won’t claim that’s their fault. Damn

Are you using the Samsung Galaxy S-22/S-23 Ultra 📱📱📱👍

You should have went to domino Park in Brooklyn to test the sound quality over there.

Awesome!

those should be against the law.. it brings up a lot questions about responabilty

Cool video! You touched on this point. There’s no way on earth I’d trust Meta with any of my information though. These are an instant pass due to that

Great video!

I'm building parts of the Metaverse aka The Real Node-LA. These glasses won't fit the bill for the future. Functional glasses need to be light weight, have a minimum OLED display. For true AR/XR experience you need tracking cameras front and down facing for leg/ hand tracking. Built in WiFi or 5g. Finally, the glasses should have noise canceling audio with pass-through sound. Build some glasses with these specs, and it will be a Matrix game changer.

3:25 There is no expectation of privacy when you're in public..... I hate when people say, "They might not want to be recorded in a public setting"..... Well, I say to them. Don't be in public. What's the difference between recording someone and looking at someone and having a memory of it? It's pretty much almost the same, except you can't download it and share it with other media... Once again, there is no expectation of privacy in a public setting. However, there are exceptions like the bath, the gym locker room, changing rooms, PII information, certain areas of federal/government areas etc..etc..... Here's an example: We see celebrities with their children and they get really upset when paparazzi's are recording them constantly..... Well, there you go, and you don't have to be a celebrity to be recorded in public. Also, how many times in a court of law have the defense or prosecution use a recording to help with their case? And i'm pretty sure the victim or parties did not realize they were being recorded and never gave their permission. .... case closed....so light indicator or not really isn't a concern for me. Here is a fun fact: it would be great when pulled over for "real" interactions with Law Enforcement.....

- Hey Meta, What i am watching right now? - You are watching a Real Life Review of smart glasses by Jacklyn who is on a streak of awesome Wearable Tech Vids. ✨🎁🎄🎅

What! You mean my snap spectacles version 2 are obsolete!

The fact that it only records vertical video is a immediate letdown. There are also quite a number of privacy issues without any clear indication that you are recording.

I like everything about these. First the price. About the same price as a pair of glasses with all the bells and whistles. Second, the look isn’t bad. Third, the features are good and I have a feeling that this is not just a crude first effort. With software updates, I think they will only get better. I’m gonna grab myself a pair of prescription Ray Bans with transition lenses. Hopefully, I can share my experience on here in a month or so 🤞🏾

It is so cool to get to hang out with you. I love the 21st Century.

Meta is.... interesting

Man, just Imagine if some People are Talking Nasty Things about You then they got Recorded on Meta Sunglasses without them Knowing

Meta has a better privacy record than Apple. Fight me.

I dont care if people record me when I’m out and about. It’s public, there’s no expectation of privacy.

Cheaper than airpods

The only cons about this glasses are they hide your beautyful eyes.... ❤❤❤😍😍😜

Didnt know they have 5 MEGAPHONES 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Tiny sensor

Cool vid, love your videos but I wouldn’t like to know I’m being filmed not knowing I’m being filmed. How’s that privacy concern being addressed do you know?

Who does sports in shades 😂 only thing I see is cycling and that’s about it

The best thing you can do is remain silent and be on your best behavior, when someone is recording you 🤷🏻‍♂️

Be careful the battery will burn your temple in just a sec, faster than the video stream

was feeling really hopeful until i heard 60second video

..... are they "going viral on tiktok" though"?

Very cool, but I can't get past having to deal with Meta. Merry Christmas Jacklyn! 🎄🎅🏻

Welcome to Glasshole Mk2. Imagine what happens when the worst of society gets hold of them.

spooky technology. everyone walking around filming everybody unnoticed, can't be good.

I’m not sure I want people recording all the cameras recording me every second of every day even as I speed through a yellow light , lol! Alexa , meta , your tv , your computer , is all being recorded and shared just ask the fbi ! Ever wondered why you thought about or said aloud a product and it magically appeared in adds , that’s not by chance . Lighten up , we’re not that important

⚽️⚽️⚽️🎬👍😁

🎬🏀🎬🏀🎬👍

You’re cute ❤

Not sure I want people video recording me without me knowing, especially with a company with such a horrible history as Meta.

Make you feel like a kid again.... Bruh you are a kid

Omg!!!what's so special about a camera attached to my glasses...you guys are a bunch of bot...I'll follow up when they integrate real tech like AR technology with it will be actually useful for motorcycle and walking pedestrian........😅😂

The camera "on" LED MUST be under the control of the operator. Colossal, Multiple Design Errors on this stupid thing. Geez Louise.

These looks sick! HOWEVER, there's no way I'm wearing AI glasses that are signed into FB/Meta. Can we all agree on that? I mean get real. No one trusts Meta, why would we wear their cameras on our faces and film everything and everyone for them? The privacy concerns with something like this are astronomical.
