The Ray Ban Meta smart glasses have a tiny camera, Bluetooth speakers, and an AI assistant built in. But are they worth buying in 2024? Here are 3 pros and 5 cons, plus the reasons why I initially returned them, and whether I am keeping this second pair or not.

Invasion of privacy. I have been seeing people wearing sunglasses indoors lately and if they go to the bathroom or locker room they can video tape or photograph them. I hope they get a lawsuit when it happens

Great review, this helped me tremendously. I need to take a breath and wait for a better implementation of these I guess. The aspect ratio is a no-sale for me. I could put up with all the other cons but I’m old and my brain will never accept vertical videos. We have peripheral vision for a reason. I’m super excited by the idea of these glasses, now I just need to wait for a better implementation. I wish Apple had gotten to Ray-Ban before Meta.

@Kinzanagi 2 месяца назад

I have these Meta smart glasses as well. I mainly use them as sunglasses and headphones replacement. The few videos I have taken ended up on IG, but the recording angle does take getting used to. Definitely a cool concept. Hopefully the next iteration could center the camera or maybe have 2 cameras on the a side that gets stitched to get in post maybe.

@Gemini_Connect 2 месяца назад

When I first heard about them, I assumed there were 2 cameras and they would stitch the video together. It was disappointing to discover that wasn’t the case. But my overall impression of these glasses was positive and I’m pretty sure future versions will be even better.

@MollyFitzBrown 4 дня назад

I am on the fence about these because of things I've heard about the video angle, just like you said. I wanted to use them on roller coasters and be hands free on rides but only having vertical and 60 seconds seems like a deal breaker. I do post shorts but still focus on long form content.

@Gemini_Connect 2 дня назад

When these can shoot horizontal video, I’d have no problem recommending them. But I don’t think they’re quite there yet, especially if you’re primarily a long form content creator.

@NR-rv8rz 2 месяца назад

The odd recording angle would be a deal breaker for me. But also the short recording length, aspect ratio, low res. I'll come back when they iron out all the kinks.

@janeylu5678 19 дней назад

Great review! I completely agree with you on the aspect ratio and was not excited about the camera quality of version 1. I was looking hard into this version but your review has helped me save some money. It would be cool if they would stitch the left and right camera together to make ever a square asset ration that could be cropped in post. maybe in 2k, 4k preferably. but at what price $$$

@theoverunderthinker Месяц назад

I think there are two issues to consider: 1) people need to give some thought to which items in their lives they wish to have "connected" or "smart" and which ones they do not. If you are wearing your glasses every waking moment, it might make more sense than if you wear them occasionally. or if you set your phone on the charger when you come home, it might be more useful to have some of the functions on your glasses if you have them on when your phone is not within reach. 2) is the configuration of the smart item such that it works the way you do. the flashing light when you take a picture or record a video, the video recording limit, using a Facebook account, etc. if you have to change to meet the item, you might just do it on your phone where you don't have the same restrictions, especially if you would have your phone with you anyway. personally, I feel that some of the features were set up to avoid some of the complaints/concerns about google glass, which is understandable, but a camera, any camera should be a dumb input device, and if people who construct a product place arbitrary constraints on it for the good of society, unless I agree, then I become less interested. too many device manufacturers set rules on how a product you buy can be used. also, I tend to have my phone on me except when I am at home and don't wish to be disturbed, and I have my phone with me as much as I have my glasses on, so this doesn't really appeal to me. it might be useful if someone confronts you in public and you want to have video in case they assault you, but the video recording limit and the idiot light makes it useless for that. otherwise, it could actually be a good safety feature: walking to your car at night, turn it on, if you get home safely, delete the video; if you don't, maybe it helps the police find the person who did it. so if you are some influencer, or content creator, if might make sense. However, I think my glasses make me look smart, but don't need to be smart in themselves. not, at least, how these are configured.

@zomgitsmax Месяц назад

One thing I want to bring up is that I don’t think your issue is as much about them being wide enough as you think. You said the Erika Metal’s are fine, but those are actually 132mm hinge to hinge, where the L Meta’s are 136.8. I think it’s more the inflexible of the injected plastic used to make them, especially opposed to the flexibility of metal. I personally do not like glasses with plastic/acetate arms, I try to only use titanium, but I have a few pairs with acetate fronts attached to titanium arms. TLDR, they should be made of a better material at least where they’re able to.

@hectorcornejo2956 7 дней назад

I’ve also heard that they are not water proof or resistant. As a runner I would need some that are at least resistant… bc I sweat of course… what are your thoughts?

@FarnazPirasteh Месяц назад

wow you are the first person who got them customised, I didn't know we can do that! I've been hesitating so much about the color, because I loved the round lense, brown frame ones, but they are not transition type. I take a lot of photos and videos, so I think transition is my best option, but if I can get them customised, then maybe I can ask for brown frame, but transition lenses. Hopefully they do here in Australia.

@Gemini_Connect Месяц назад

I highly recommend visiting a Ray Ban retail store. I had no idea they could be customized either until I talked directly to a sales rep.

Just found you video AFTER I ordered these glasses with transistions and prescriptions from my optometrist. lol. I liked the fit from the office and I am half Korean so I get the "face thing" 😁. However (thanks to Dad 😉), I have a more angular face and nose is a little narrower. Maybe I lucked out with the larger size? 🤔 Here's hoping that they meet my expectations- decent audio w/o my airpods, camera on the go (minus the creep factor. lol), and comfort as I wear glasses all the time. Great video. Thank you. Subscribed. 😊

@impulsesystems Месяц назад

This is the best review I have seen, for these glasses. The photo and video samples are really good, so you have the off-axis camera positioning. I wonder why they couldn't put the camera in the nosepiece, to avoid teh parallax problem. I'm from England and also have a large head [caps have to be XXL], with a nose that makes glasses slide downwards. I wear a neck strap with my glasses, that spaces the arms from the region above my ears: no head aches now! Didn't the prior release of these glasses shoot square video? I hate vertical video. I also hate FB/Meta. Aside from that, I really like the concept here. Nearly $400 and no lens cleaner?

@Gemini_Connect Месяц назад

It did have a lens cloth - it was packed into a hidden compartment in the box. I didn’t take the entire box apart as I had a feeling the sizing would be an issue and I might have to return them.

@bjcruz 2 месяца назад

The cleaning cloth is inside the box where the manuals are. 😊

After that it's just a regular Rx glasses for me. 🤓

@TylerNally 2 месяца назад

I wouldn't be surprised that your perceived shooting angle through the glasses is an adjustment of parallax. You may not be aware which eye of yours is dominant. Because one of your eyes is dominant. Stick your hands out in front of you arms length forming a frame with your thumbs connecting and your pointer fingers up like the goal post uprights at a football game. Spot one object in the middle in the center of your uprights. The test to know which eye is dominant is the one that, when you close the other it disappears. So if your left eye is dominant and you close the left eye then these object in the uprights of your field of vision that you focused on will be on outside of the uprights. When you switch to the other eye, the dominant eye, then the object is seen in the center of the uprights.. Another reason why aim could be difficult is because your not 100% guaranteed the camera is mounted perfectly parallel to the axis of the forward true vector of view. If it's off by a tiny amount, it'll never be sighted in properly in the same way as a guns mounted telescope has to be adjusted to match the barreling of the weapon. For a person that needs reliable precise predictable field of view for the purposes of making money, they are mostly convenient but have a way to go to be high quality to use all the time. For me, since I wear glasses my whole life except for sleeping & showering, I would need multiple pair to get thru a typical day when a single charge lasts just 4 hours. I'd have to have at least two pair . One to be in use. The other charging ready to be swapped in when the battery is low.

@Gemini_Connect 2 месяца назад

That's a very good point about the dominant eye. re: the 4 hour charge, this is why I mentioned the slow startup time. I turned my glasses off periodically during the day to conserve battery life and take advantage of using the glasses normally without the "smart functions." For those of us who might use them for prescription purposes or wear them all day long, it would be nice if there was not only a longer battery life, but also a faster startup time.

@bjsmind 2 месяца назад

True that! That's what I was thinking, I need a 2nd pair to last throughout the day listening to audiobooks.

@iMacmatician Месяц назад

My right eye is dominant, but the Ray Ban smart glasses have the camera on the left side. I think it would be good if the glasses had two variants: one with the camera on the left and the other with the camera on the right (the recording light will be on the other side). Then people can choose the variant that matches their ocular dominance.

@impulsesystems Месяц назад

@@iMacmatician Or put the camera in the center, over the nose piece. Parallax problem solved.

@JoePenaProductions 2 месяца назад

There are some practical aspects to the Ray Ban sunglasses, but it seems like it's not really a necessity. They looked good on you, and your regular sunglasses look great on you. -- In the end... you can travel just a bit lighter without the glasses that don't really fit a 'need'. Thanks for the review.

@Gemini_Connect 2 месяца назад

That was 100% how I felt in the end. They're fun and possibly practical for someone who films short-form vertical content. But for most of us, they're a luxury rather than a necessity.

@seenga 15 дней назад

Agree your decision to return, your eyes don’t even reach centre line of the lenses, it is not a good signal from optical sense. While the glass width looks fit on you, a larger frame of this model will only makes you feel comfortable but looks oversized on your face (I have same experience). Perhaps you can try the recent low bridge headliner, the hinge width is in between

@Gemini_Connect 15 дней назад

The Headliner looked like a better fit, but it was out of stock when I was shopping around.

That’s great to hear! I know plenty of folks who have had a positive experience with these glasses. I just hope they offer wider sizes - if they did, I’d be enjoying these a lot more!

@JayR305TheChosenOne Месяц назад

Are they waterproof?

@Gemini_Connect Месяц назад

They are not.

@stevegonzales527 Месяц назад

they come with the cloth you probably missed it and threw it away, located where the manuals are

@Gemini_Connect Месяц назад

Yeah, I heard. I kept the box and the manual intact because I knew there was a strong possibility of returning these due to my difficulty at finding glasses that fit.

@oliviahope3728 23 дня назад

I just bought a pair and it is really annoying that it only shoots 60sec videos and you can't change the ratio - it's like they were made for tiktok users specifically...

@Gemini_Connect 23 дня назад

Yeah, definitely made for shooting short vertical content.

It's exactly like using an old school GoPro before, like shooting blindly and having to trust the wide lens.

@Gemini_Connect 2 месяца назад

Haha that’s true! I do have an old Hero 2. Would’ve been fun to compare them (albeit Ray Ban’s camera quality is way better than the Hero 2).

@darwinsvaleza 2 месяца назад

@@Gemini_Connect OMG that will be an interesting content i would like to find out too, but i don't have that Rayban thing so i will look forward to you making that content. 👍

@Tech4YourNeeds 2 месяца назад

Those cons that you mention can fixed with an update.

@Gemini_Connect 2 месяца назад

Totally agree. Let’s hope they’re listening to all of the feedback.

@arampan 28 дней назад

I think it would make the most sense for the video to simply be captured in 1920 X 1920 square format.

@Gemini_Connect 25 дней назад

That’s not a bad idea. Could be like the GoPro’s 8:7 aspect ratio, which lets you crop in vertical or horizontal in post.

@morbidelm2783 Месяц назад

you look really good in them tho lol.

@dougscott188 2 месяца назад

I see no reason why the video is not landscape. I have tried them on side by since with regular ray bans and it is amazing how close it gets to the actual glasses. I have worn ray bans longer than you have been alive so the fact they can marry the high tech with this classic style is a real winner. The true downside to me is this is Meta. I want to see what they do with the new AI features.

Cleaning cloth is in the box.

Your neighbor needs a roofing contractor to remove that moss growing on their roof.

We need someone to remove the moss from the outside of our car lol. It grows everywhere around here 😅

@@Gemini_Connectit does here as well. Just consider the moss on your car as an eco-roof. 😝

Also what if someone creep goes to the park or a pool and starts video taping. Not a good idea very bad and scary idea actually

@Will_Bx_NYC_718 2 месяца назад

Youre incorrect the cleaning clothis in the box, you have to look for it tucked inside of the box.

@Gemini_Connect 2 месяца назад

Noted! A bunch of folks have mentioned it’s tucked in with the manual (which I obviously didn’t bother reading 😅)

@pukkademps 9 дней назад

At first I was like ehhh yeah I’ll pass on this but 60 second per video isn’t that bad and I can do 50 60 second videos that’s fair versus long clips. I think it’ll help you if you’re a story teller to get straight to the point of your video.
