Meta (Gen 1)

I was given a pair of rayban meta’s as a work freebie. What a crock of shit, and that’s ignoring the clear nonce aspect of things. sod all battery life, will not pair with anything unless it’s zuckerburg approved. it has to be actively paired to a phone to do anything. you can look at, say, a painti

Taking videos will drain the battery fast. All the battery estimates that say normal usage are talking about messages, music, calls, some pictures, etc. the videos will crush the battery. It’s the same way on the Gen 1 Ray-Ban Metas.

Cold weather makes the battery deplete rapidly. Happens to my first gen Ray-Ban Meta too.

I got both the Meta RayBan Displays and the RayNeo X3 Pros… I HATE the way you control the RayNeos and their battery life is even worse than the Metas… thinking of selling them to be honest, I barely use them and just find them to be a headache every time I do try to use them.

I'm typical asian and ray-ban meta is not for me Short battery . I use ray-ban meta only as a camera and ear phone .

Jump is worth it You can get $190-210 on ebay minus fees. Would sell privately / on ebay for sure. I’ve personally used live streaming (gen 1 only feature for now) multiple times and it’s been pretty cool. Only issue is battery dies pretty quickly as a result. But you can get the Carina C1 while it’

I’d treat this as a RayBan/Luxottica warranty claim, not an Amazon return. Amazon’s normal return window is usually long gone after 6 months, so they’ll likely keep bouncing you back. Meta’s own support page says RayBan Meta glasses are manufactured by EssilorLuxottica and that warranty claims are h

So if you want to use the camera for live streaming, then in theory that is the Mentra Live’s whole value proposition (ie live streaming, which I understand is different than podcasting but could be in that general bucket). In practice, I haven’t tried it yet personally but have read the quality is
