Meta Ray-Ban Glasses, Skyler, Shiny Black Frames, Cerulean Blue Transition Lenses

How well do I love these? This is the second pair of Ray Ban Meta Sunglasses that I've purchased within a month, and I'm not sure I'll stop at two. These sunglasses are beautiful, well constructed, super comfortable, and intuitive to use.I listen to audiobooks daily. I've done this for many years and have learned what type of buds/headsets works or doesn't for me. When I'm dog walking, shopping, or doing yard work, I'm always wearing a pair of ear buds or wireless headphones. When I'm outside I'm also wearing sunglasses, year round. 'Ambient' listening mode has never really worked for me. Especially when I'm outside, it seems I always have to remove my device from my ears to hear others. When my hands are full (yard tools or dog leashes/poop bags) this is a hassle.With built in speakers, the RBM sunglasses have eliminated the problems I have with ear buds/headsets. When a person approaches me I can hear them walk up and I can hear them when they talk. If I want to pause my audiobook all I need to do is tap the arm of the sunglasses. No more fumbling to pull something out of my ear, or worry than an ear pod might get lost from a pocket. Most importantly, I can hear street traffic while I'm listening and walking. And the sound is wonderful!The question I've been most asked about these sunglasses is, "Can other people hear what your listening to?" (One would think the worry of being photographed or filmed without your knowledge would be the top question. However, some of us, occasionally, listen to things we'd rather not shock others with.) I've shown them that even with the sunglasses at the highest volume a person has to get very close, like within 6-8" from your head, to hear sound and yet they may not be able to make out what's being said. (I've only used them at highest volume to show others the volume, I've not needed them 'loud' for my use.) Sidenote, when using the picture/video capture a light appears in one of the 'dots' on the frame so that those in front of you have an indication that 'something' is going on with the sunglasses.I've used the camera for both pictures and video, the sunglasses are designed so that the capture of either is very easy. Items captured must be uploaded from the glasses to your phone using the Meta app, it takes just a few seconds. Both look quite good considering they were taken by a pair of sunglasses. I'm not a content creator but I can see where these would be a handy tool for those who are. (I believe the software allows for direct upload to some platforms.) I use mine to capture moments on walks or projects in various stages around the yard. I've used them on calls and the person on the other end remark they can hear me clearly and much better than on my other devices, this has been when I'm outside where the environment offers up sounds such as wind, traffic, birds, barking dogs, kids at play, and so on.The initial setup to sync with cell phone is super easy and offers a short interactive demonstration on the various items the sunglasses are capable of performing. Since I'm an "Alexa" person, learning to say "Meta" has been a bit of a learning curve, but I believe Alexa is now available to use with the Ray Ban Metas, or soon will be, or you can set your phone to listen for Alexa. (I haven't dived into the hows of these yet.)My first pair of Ray Ban Metas were the Shiny Black with green frames, perfect for bright days. I ordered this pair for the lighter lenses so that I could wear them while shopping and on cloudy days. The Shiny Chalky Gray color is a color I've not seen in sunglasses, it's a great color.The only 'problem' I've encountered with these sunglasses is taking them off. I don't want to take them off!! Throughout my house I have speakers and devices that I can use to stream my audiobooks/music. These sunglasses are so comfortable, easy to use, and sound so great they've quickly become my favorite listening device. (Which is why I feel I 'need' another pair with clear lenses just for the house.) You're also able to have prescription lenses placed inside the frame. I wear contacts but occasionally opt for glasses, which gives me another reason to 'need' another pair. Or two? I'm retired, but if these had been on the market when I was working I would definitely had a pair that stayed on my desk just for work, they'd be perfect for an office environment. Both in looks and functionality.Overall, I'm beyond pleased with the Ray Ban Meta Sunglasses. My previously prefered sunglasses were near the price range of the Ray Ban Metas. I can't see ever go back to that brand as the Ray Ban Meta delivers everything I want in a pair of sunglasses and then go beyond that with their sound, their style, their comfort of wear, their picture/video capture, and their making/taking calls abilities.

I bought these meta glasses and i love the quality of them. They are a perfect fit. The camera and video are amazing and clear. But, one downfall is you cant zoom in.The connection to Meta AI is great and so is the audio. The battery case last about 5 full charges and it takes about 30 mins to full charge the glasses.The glasses do die pretty quick though if used with music or phone calls. I would say they last about 4 hours of use on music and phone calls..

These glasses are pretty cool if you’re into mixing style with a bit of tech. They look like classic Ray-Ban aviators, but they’ve got hidden features like a camera, speakers, and voice control with Meta AI. You can take photos, record videos, listen to music, or even go live—just by talking to them.The sound is surprisingly decent for open-ear speakers, and the camera quality is good for quick snaps or stories. Battery life is okay, not amazing—expect a few hours if you’re using them a lot. Perfect for casual use, not so much for long calls or noisy places.

My ray-ban meta smart glasses were great and I used it for listening on walks, taking pictures, and videos. However, after only 10 months, they broke down. It was working in the morning one day, then just stopped working. The left arm got warm and stayed warm and the light was flashing but there was no other sign of life nor could it connect to my phone or the meta app.So no problem, it is still under warranty since it's less than a year right? No, I contacted ray ban and they put me through loops and ultimately said that my product is out of warranty which is obviously not true. Confusingly, they also said "Your current model is discontinued/no longer available; however, we are able to offer you a comparable alternative option. Please be patient, you will see the offer soon." The alternative option ended up being only a 30% discount. They also said there was user error and I didn't have a proper receipt after I sent them the digital Amazon paid invoice. Basically they admitted fault at first and then threw the kitchen sink of why they can't give me a full replacement or reimbursement when I refused the 30% offer.Bottom like, it is a good product and for me a good value for the money. However, if the glasses stop working like it did for me, then the value for the money is out the door as Luxottica/Ray Ban will not honor their warranty even if it is less than a year.

Pretty good but think needs improvements in a lot of areas … such as sync location, calendar more language support ( now only one )I have experienced all the time when getting the glasses out of the case the shutter switch get pressed so either a photo or video taken …And if u use it often battery drains fast which was expected

Love these glasses. They're stylish & functional. Great for everyday wear too!!! Music sounds great and pictures/videos are surprisingly clear.

I’m obsessed - paid for next day shipping and they were on my doorstep by 7a the next morning - of course the white light flashes when you take a photo and blinks when you’re recording - of course you can’t cover it up or obstruct it in any way - the sound quality in quieter areas is close to having in AirPods but don’t think about hearing from them at that party, just enjoy the photos - battery life: Ive worn/used mine for a total of about 5hrs right out the box and still haven’t needed to charge - some people said they couldn’t live stream but I’ve been on IG Live & FB live - I purchased the Skylar, Chalk color Transition frames regular

My lady loves these and the fact its ray bands, transparent lens, and has a camera video/picture is already selling this product! they are very comfortable. I do wish they could record longer the 3 mins, that's the only downfall
