Ochelari Smart?

Salut! Am RayBan Meta Gen 2, sunt pasionat de tehnologie și i-am testat destul de mult. Nu cred ca as putea sa recomand cuiva sa cumpere acest produs. Cam orice flagship este cu mult peste ei (evident, ochelarii au senzor mult mai mic, alt software, etc…). Dar nu m-aș baza pe a face poză cu ochelari

Is buying Meta Ray-Ban glasses in 2026 actually worth it? Or should I wait?

My experience is somewhat different from yours. While I agree with you regarding Meta AI not being the best AI (I personally prefer Gemini, ChatGPT, or Copilot in that order), when I'm driving with my glasses and I ask Meta AI via my Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2 glasses what I'm doing, it will tell me that I'

Instagram cracks down on growing ‘pervert glasses’ problem with Meta Ray-Bans

I looked at insta360 and their cheapest camera is $100 more than the meta glasses and then I’ve got to wear a big ugly block of a camera. When I look at their websites I see the opposite? The Insta360 Go Ultra is £389 while Ray-Ban Meta Wayfairer gen 2 are £459. The former is hardly a “big ugly bloc

What are the main differences between generations and brands when it comes to AI glasses? I want a nice pair but if I can get the same quality at $200 as I can at $500 I really would like to save the money lol.

If you are looking at the Meta ecosystem, the main thing to know is that you don't even have to spend $500 to get the absolute best they offer. The top-tier Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers retail around $300 to $330, and they completely dominate the market for camera and audio quality. The stuff pushing $500

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses Gen 1 vs Gen 2

I keep a guide on my website for this exact question: https://monarchxr.com/ray-ban-meta-2025-vs-2023-comparison/ For your use case, id honestly suggest saving some money and just grabbing the Gen 1. The Gen 2 have far better battery life and a slightly better camera, but if you don't care about tho

Personal cam recommendations

Given what you’re using this for, I’d prioritise reliability, battery life and preserving the original footage over having the smallest or most discreet camera. I’d look at something like the BOBLOV M7 Pro or M12 dedicated body cameras. 🔗 BOBLOV M7 Pro: https://boblov.com/products/boblov-m7-pro-4k-g

Any skinny on if/when we’ll see Meta (gen 2) available in an Oakley(s)?

The inside technology such as battery, camera, processing units, etc are the exact same from a Ray Ban Gen 2 to a Oakley Meta HSTN.

I tested 9 AI smart glasses across 4 real-world situations — unsponsored, here’s what happened

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

3 honest questions for the smart glasses community

This is kind of a big question. There's a few things A good balance of all the existing features. most smart glasses have a camera with no HUD, however the few that have HUD's (like the Even Realities G2) may not have the best placement, or don't typically have cameras. And some of the ones that hav
