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

This is one of the reasons I wear my Rayban Metas more and more. The minute stuff like this happens, I say “hey meta, record a video”. Recordings of people saying stuff like that would be priceless in a court case and if they are stupid enough to hand it to you on a plate, that is a gift. As a motor

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

There's a real disconnect between reddit users and people who end up buying rayban metas, I'll say that much. The rayban meta displays were sold out extremely quickly. I agree the VR goggles has poor PMF, but rayban meta not so much.

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.

Lol. I did't want to support meta either, but I did just buy the Ray-Ban meta wayfarer (gen 1?) on sale at Walmart for $220. And they are awesome. I looked into alternatives but idk it's hard to know what to think. Alot of the alternates on Amazon have terrible reviews

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.

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 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 .
