The best smart-glasses available, but they still need some work.
I put out a video on YouTube reviewing these, here is my written analysis.I recently had the opportunity to test out the Meta Smart Glasses for three months, and I have to say, it's a really cool product. While the hardware has significantly improved from previous versions and other products in the past, there are still some questions that need to be answered. One of the biggest concerns is privacy, as these glasses have the capability to record both visuals and auditory inputs. At a price point of $299, it's comparable to many modern-day sunglasses, but is it worth giving up your privacy for?Key Takeaways• The Meta Smart Glasses have improved hardware but raise concerns about privacy.• The glasses have an IPX4 water-resistant rating but have a 60-second record limit.• Only having vertical video is a bit of a downside for long form creators.• POV footage for sports and driving is a unique and enjoyable feature of the Meta Smart Glasses.• The Speakers are not amazing but they are good enough and reach an audio level where they truly feel next generation finally for smart glasses.Comparative AnalysisAfter using the Meta Smart Glasses for over a month, I have compared them to other products I have tried in the past, such as the Snapchat specs and the previous RayBan stories. The hardware of the Meta Smart Glasses has significantly improved from previous versions and other products. However, this product raises more questions than it answers in some ways.One of the biggest topics of contention is privacy. The light that pulses on the top right is a little more visible now and it's brighter and bigger in general. However, in my opinion, it should have been red, which means recording. The current light is still small enough where no one really notices it. While in theory, someone should maybe notice it, it's such a new technology and concept that they're not going to just simply notice it.Another downside is the 60-second record limit. There are many times when I was recording interactions or photographing cars, and I would honestly just forget that I was recording sometimes. The video ending noise can be distracting in a conversation, where you're in a train of thought, and then you hear that noise. There should theoretically be no record limit in here, unless it's related to overheating.Price and ValueLooking at the price of these, they are actually not bad at all. They are comparable to a lot of modern-day sunglasses. Given that you get this much amount of tech in here, the price is quite reasonable and I suspect they will have regular sales this holiday season to push a lot of productDesign and FeaturesIPX4 Rating and Water ResistanceThe Meta smart glasses have an IPX4 rating, making them water-resistant. This means that the glasses can withstand sweat and rain, making them suitable for outdoor activities. However, it is important to note that the capacitive touch on the side of the glasses can be affected if water droplets fall on it, which can interfere with music or other functions.Capacitive Touch Sensitivity:The Meta smart glasses have capacitive touch sensitivity, which allows users to interact with the glasses through touch. The controls are very intuitive and work quite well with good responsiveness.Transition Lenses Option:The Meta smart glasses come with an option for transition lenses, which can be very practical during the winter months when there is less daylight. The transition lenses can turn dark when exposed to sunlight and then turn back to clear when sunlight is no longer present. This feature is especially useful for those who want to use the glasses for both indoor and outdoor activities.In terms of pricing, the Meta smart glasses are reasonably priced at $299, which is comparable to other modern-day sunglasses. The transition lens version is slightly more expensive. However, given the amount of technology packed into these glasses, the price is quite reasonable.Additionally, all the types of variations have 32 GB of storage.Public AwarenessAnother concern I have is the public's awareness of the recording capabilities of the Meta Smart Glasses. While Meta has made efforts to increase awareness of the recording feature, it's still not enough. Many people are still unaware that the glasses can record, and this raises concerns about privacy. It's important that people are aware that they may be recorded when interacting with someone wearing these glasses.Overall, I believe that Meta needs to do more to increase public awareness of the recording capabilities of the glasses and make the recording indicator more visible. While the glasses are a great product, it's important that people's privacy is respected, and that they are aware of when they are being recorded.Functionality Limitations60-Second Record LimitOne of the major limitations of the Meta Smart Glasses is the 60-second record limit. While the glasses offer 32 GB of storage, the record limit can be a hindrance for those who want to record longer videos. During my testing, I found myself forgetting that I was recording, and the glasses would stop recording after 60 seconds. This can be frustrating, especially when recording interactions or events that last longer than a minute.

    I recently purchased two pairs of Ray-Ban Meta glasses—one with transition lenses and one with polarized lenses—and they’ve been a game changer for my daily life and content creation. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with both pairs and their features:

    What I Loved

    • Hands-Free Content Creation: These glasses have made it incredibly easy to record high-quality videos while keeping my hands free. As a content creator, I love giving my audience a first-person view of what I’m doing, and the ease of snapping photos or shooting videos on the go is unmatched.
    • Stylish and Discreet Design: The Wayfarer style is a timeless classic, and over 99% of people won’t even realize these are smart glasses. I get all the benefits of advanced tech without sacrificing style.
    • Polarized Lens Quality: The clarity of the polarized lenses is unreal. They block out the sun beautifully, especially in Florida’s intense sunlight, and make driving feel sharper and more vibrant.
    • Immersive Sound Quality: Listening to music and taking calls without earbuds is an incredible experience. The sound is immersive, theater-like, and subtle enough that people nearby won’t hear it. I even had a crystal-clear call with my dad, and he had no idea I was using glasses for audio!

    The Cons

    • Transition Lenses Fall Short Outdoors: While they’re great indoors, the transition lenses don’t adapt quickly enough to the Florida sun and don’t block out glare as effectively as polarized lenses. If you need strong sun protection, go for the polarized option.
    • “Hey Meta” Feature is a Letdown: This was the biggest disappointment. The voice assistant is unreliable and drains the battery rapidly. For example, when I asked it to delete a video, it looped endlessly without actually doing it. It also struggled with recognizing objects—I asked about a man-made mountain, and it gave me a completely inaccurate answer. I’ve since turned this feature off.
    • Battery Life with “Hey Meta”: With the assistant on, the battery drained by 10% for a 3-minute video. Turning it off drastically improved performance—only 1% battery drain for the same recording length. If you want the glasses to last all day, keep “Hey Meta” off.
    • Fit Needed Adjustments: Out of the box, the glasses were slightly heavy and slid down my nose. Adding nose pads resolved the issue and made them much more comfortable for extended wear.

    Overall Thoughts

    These glasses excel in hands-free convenience, exceptional call quality, and immersive sound, all wrapped in a stylish, discreet design. While the “Hey Meta” feature fell short and the battery life could be better with it enabled, turning it off made a world of difference.

    If you’re looking for stylish smart glasses that deliver high-quality content creation and audio, I highly recommend these—especially the polarized lenses. They’ve exceeded my expectations in so many ways and are now a daily essential for me!

    These are great. I love the photo and video capability with voice control or the top button, it's great for when I'm driving. The audio listening to music is great, not much bass, but sounds great none the less. These glasses are worth it for just those two things. The AI is pretty cool, similar to Siri but worse and better in ways. The battery seems to last around 2-3 hours. Overall, I love to wear them and listen to music. Easy uploads to your photo and Spotify works well. You need to press play on your phone the first time for music, but when you're connected you have voice control. I wish I could record video without the light being on. I wore them snowboarding and the video was very stable and good, voice control of video was awesome too while riding. Easier than having a GoPro mounted on my helmet.

    So much to do with AI and yet I would say it’s the least functional component out of the gate. Camera at your fingertips is amazing, or you can just ask meta to take a picture or video! Next best feature is the headphones that do not look like headphones because they are on your normal looking sunglasses, plus very safe as it does not plug up your ears. Yes, there is AI and a different way of feeding it information than you get elsewhere because it looks at what is in front of you and listens to what you say, instead of the keyboard prompts most of us have played with on our computers. All of this in an amazingly small and comfortable form factor. I doubt anyone will get the screaming deal I got, just $150 after a $90 Amazon credit, that is barely more than a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, but I would still recommend these glasses for anyone looking to take amazing photos on the fly, or take a step into our future with something that works, and looks normal. I have not had the chance to try live translation, but it is the Star Trek universal translator especially if both individuals are wearing the glasses.

    Wish list for the next Orion glasses, please see if you can use our rings and watches for tracking purposes, a virtual keyboard that displays on any surface in front of us would be a killer (maybe emanating from a puck if needed), and find a way to connect with some basic office features like calendar, email, word processing, and spreadsheets.

    I ordered these since I’ve been getting bombarded with the ads online and would think these would be good on a night out.

    The glasses are not heavy whatsoever and look like an ordinary pair of Wayfairers but ever so slightly more bulky due to the camera. Setup with the app was easy as well and all the photos and videos (only up to a minute) will download into your app via wifi and you can load them to your phone.

    I will say the angle of the camera is a little odd so it’s not exactly what you’re seeing through your lens (seek video) but these are such cool polarized glasses. The translation feature is not great but it’s absolutely amazing that if you ask Meta what’s in front of you it can identify. It’s like a built in Siri or Google! Listening to Spotify or anything on your glasses is not totally sound proof, but the volume is low so others can somewhat hear what you’re listening too. Photo quality of course isn’t as great as your phone camera but the video is cool with the wide lense

    Otherwise such a fun gadget and would recommend
