Meta (Gen 1)

Just looking at their current product, rayban metas, they’re pretty damn cool and work very well. Based on them being the first mover + cool factor I’m bullish on meta. Plus they have shifted their focus to AI and the metaverse stuff seems to have taken a back seat. FB + instagram + WhatsApp continu

Ray Ban Meta glasses have sold 2 million and they’re ramping up production like crazy, the Vision Pro has sold around 500k and the rumors are frequently mentioning that they’re winding down production. Granted they’re not the same thing, the Vision Pro is much more of a tech demo/first gen/early ado

The clear is really cool. I had the ray ban meta on clr gen 1 for a year and they were fine. I have then new ones in matte clr too and no problems thus far. However, anything clear plastic will eventually yellow. Could be 1, 5, 10, etc years but it will eventually happen.

I put them in my pushing my glasses down in that area. I did that with my first gen Ray-Ban Metas, and I do that now with both my HSTNs and Vanguards. I take them out with the glasses arms because I don’t want to touch the lenses. I haven’t had any issues, going back to my first-gen Ray-Ban Metas.

I took your same path almost. Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, Even G1 and now Rokid. I agree on just about all of your points. The Evens were great style wise, but the Rokid Glasses are far more capable.

I live in Japan and own Ray-ban meta gen 1 and was satisfied as a casual camera. draw backs are Can't use meta AI(not sold and supported officially in Japan) Glass don't fit my face. 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 .

I ordered the RayBan Meta 2 and returning my Oakley HSTN Metas. While the HSTN is ok… it’s not great for everyday use. Plus it’s slightly uncomfortable for me. All my typical sunglasses are Wayfarers… so this is an easy switch.

I’m not sure how many other ways you could interpret it but okay lol, the price on all the meta ray ban models are fairly similar. And based on numerous reports that I’ve seen retention is quite high with the model that released at the end of 2023 (not the rayban stories), significantly higher than

The AI glasses - I have the raybans - are heavy. That doesn't mean you can't wear them all day, but it does mean you should always carry a spare. The in store rx lenses aren't as good as you can get third party, nor do they have a wide photochromic selection. I can't say anything about how the Oakle

So I know a lot of people hate Meta, and EssilorLuxottica, but these are pretty neat frfr. The speakers are really good for open ear, the camera is neat for candid moments, the ai is useful in the way Siri is useful. I cook a lot, I love not having to get my hands dirty to set a timer or do a pov vi
