Ray-Ban Meta Glasses Review – Stylish, Functional, and Packed with Tech
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!

Don’t worry about the AI too much
The glasses are amazing. They take calls, pictures, videos, and play music discreetly in your brain. The AI doesn’t do all the things I want it too, but as futuristic as we want these to be, we arnt there yet. Be realistic lol. I did also get the AI to translate a japanese sentence for me even when it said it couldn’t. If you cant ask it a question, factory reset it. That should fix it. Im so happy with this purchase.
Also. To anyone who buys these. I have a cheat code for you. Cup your ears if you want to blast these bad boys when listening to music. It’s nuts

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

Excellent choice re Smart Sunglasses – very happy with purchase
