Meta (Gen 1)

I bought the last Ray Ban Meta glasses, not the most recent version, and then I ultimately returned them. Here’s my opinion on a few different aspects and why I returned them: Quality as sunglasses - they are mediocre Ray Ban sunglasses, just like most Ray Bans. Quality as a camera - I was pleasantl

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 .

One last thing I want to mention since you're having some doubts. If you're just looking for a stylish pair of AI glasses that can do voice functions and you don't need any visual display stuff on the lens then maybe the Oakley Meta or Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 would be a good choice for you. I bought the

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.

Hi, thanks for your thoughts. I have (and love) a pair of Rayban Metas but I'm becoming uncomfortable wearing them in an ever larger number of circumstanses due to increasing public paranoia around the cameras... 80%+ of my use of the Raybans is just the convenience of open-ear headphones for podcas

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

I wear Rayban Metas in my helmet, you can shout “hey meta record a video” and it kicks off pretty fast. The call quality is on par with my Sena 50r, they are a sick investment. I have transitions lenses in mine which work great on the bike. https://imgur.com/a/J9o2D80 https://imgur.com/pqvODD0

it needs another gen just in terms of form factor for me - I'm not a bulky glasses person to begin with so even regular Ray Ban Metas are a stretch. It's interesting that Even Realities can be so much less bulky - they don't do all the same things obviously, but the core tech of putting a display in
