Ray-Ban Meta Glasses (Renewed)

These are pretty cool. Where I find a good use for them: driving an older car that doesn't support smartphone connectivity. Many states do not allow headphone use while driving, but these are different. There's nothing in the ear or covering the ear. The sound comes from the arms resting *over* the ear. So, you can always hear outside traffic sounds, even while listening to your Waze instructions. The Meta AI assistant is occasionally useful, but don't expect anything more than surface-level responses; i.e., great for quick tasks, not deep analysis. The video and camera feature is also cool, but I don't use it too much.

I have had these for about a week now. So far, so good. Everything works well. The Meta Ai is getting better and better. The upload time is fast. The upload quality is good. Really good. The videos are 3 minutes at a time... I think its a 32g bank. The battery life is good even playing music the whole time. The case hold about 4 full charges. The glasses are durable so far. Music and sounds are loud. BT connect is good... so far so good.

I really like wearing these glasses for trail riding as I was able to take some awesome videos at Pioneertown.

I recently purchased the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses (Renewed), and I have to admit, I was a little skeptical at first. However, after using them for a few weeks, I’m impressed with their functionality and style. Here’s my detailed review: Design and Build Quality These glasses look and feel like classic Ray-Bans, which is a major plus. The design is sleek, lightweight, and stylish, so you won’t feel like you’re wearing a piece of tech on your face. Despite being a renewed product, the build quality was excellent, with no noticeable signs of wear or damage. They’re durable and sit comfortably on the face for extended periods. Functionality The smart features integrated into the glasses are surprisingly useful: Audio: The built-in speakers provide decent sound quality for calls, music, and podcasts. While it’s not audiophile-grade, it’s clear and works well for casual listening. The open-ear design is great for staying aware of your surroundings. Camera: The dual cameras are discreet and capture decent photos and videos. The quality isn’t on par with a smartphone, but it’s great for quick, hands-free moments or capturing candid shots on the go. Voice Control: The integration with Meta’s assistant makes it easy to control features hands-free, though I found the responsiveness could sometimes lag. App Sync: Syncing with the Meta app was straightforward, allowing for easy sharing of content and customizing settings. Performance Battery life was decent but not exceptional. I got about 5-6 hours of mixed-use before needing to recharge, which is sufficient for casual outings but may not last a full day of heavy use. Pairing with my phone via Bluetooth was seamless, and I didn’t experience any connectivity issues. Pros Stylish design that doesn’t scream “tech gadget.” Hands-free photos and videos are perfect for on-the-go use. Open-ear audio is surprisingly good and keeps you aware of your surroundings. Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. Affordable price point for a renewed product, making it a great entry point for smart glasses. Cons Battery life could be better for more intensive use. Audio quality, while decent, lacks bass depth. The cameras are good but not a replacement for your smartphone. Voice assistant responsiveness could use improvement. Final Thoughts The Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses (Renewed) are a fantastic blend of style and functionality. They’re perfect for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the world of smart glasses without sacrificing aesthetics. While there’s room for improvement in battery life and audio quality, the convenience of hands-free features and the timeless Ray-Ban design make these glasses a great purchase—especially at the renewed price point. Rating: 4/5 Would recommend for casual users looking for stylish smart tech!

Everything works perfectly

These Ray-Ban glasses are of excellent quality. I have been using them for under a year and have found them wonderful. The fit is excellent, just like a standard pair of Ray-Bans. They are easy to use, comfortable, and stylish. It is helpful to listen to music while being aware of my surroundings. The camera quality is excellent. It has plenty of storage, and the phone app makes it easy to navigate media and settings. The battery life is fantastic, holds enough throughout the day, and recharges when placed in the carry case. The audio sounds realistic and almost 3d. Great for podcasts, audiobooks, and music. Don't expect to listen to loud music with a high bass.

I’ve had my Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer glasses for a little over a year, and the experience has gone from exciting to extremely frustrating. For the price and the promises made in the marketing, these glasses have not performed anywhere near what I expected. The biggest issue is the battery and charging system. The glasses constantly report “Glasses low” at 80%, which makes no sense and severely limits use. It feels like the battery health has degraded way too fast for a premium device, and the warnings pop up even when the glasses are freshly charged. The performance is inconsistent and unreliable, and it makes the product almost unusable for real-world daily wear. I’ve tried resets, charging in different outlets, updating the firmware — nothing fixes the problem. For a device that cost this much, this level of durability and support is unacceptable. It honestly feels like I received a defective unit right out the box and didn’t know it until months later. I love the idea of Meta smart glasses. I WANT to use them. But right now, they disappoint every single day, and I shouldn’t have to fight a product this hard to make it work. At this point, I’m requesting a replacement pair or a warranty accommodation, because the experience does not match the premium branding. I hope Meta does the right thing and stands behind its customers.

Amazing stabilized video. Great for roller coaster POVs. Issues are the 3 minute recording limit,the blinking recording indicator light, and it can only record in vertical video.

I absolutely love these i should have bought way earlier. I do construction and in my industry we are not aloud to have music playing on radios exc .But they cant say much as there glasses and none else can hear it and im fully aware of my surroundings music is not over powering .I use to not wear glasses at work but with these I will wear them all the time .100% game changer

They are perfect and cheap then the actual ones and they work perfectly but they die fast so keep the Glasses case charged at all times. it's a great present to give to ur loved ones!!

J'adore pouvoir écouter la musique , répondre au appel et prendre des photos tout sa avec les lunettes !c'est cool Le futur !!!🤪

I'm not really a tech guy,... was not a huge fan of Rayban either considering there made in China. These Rayban's however very much impressed me, here is why,..... POSITIVES: 1) Solid build, polarized lenses. 2) Leather Charging case, that holds a charge with led changing lights. 3) Great video recording on the fly up to 3 minutes, exportable to your photos in a flash! 4) Takes great photos with a click of a button! 5) Play's my music with voice commands, but could go louder in my opinion. 6) Answer's my incoming phone calls with voice commands, which is amazing. 7) Ask Meta anything and she will answer,.. super cool. 8) Has touch pause & mute features, touch volume slide commands. NEGATIVES: 1) BATTERY LIFE IS SHORT,... 3+HRS JUST NOT ENOUGH. 2) LED FLASHES WHEN TAKING A PHOTO,... 3) LED CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES DURING VIDEO RECORDING,... MAKES PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU FUNNY EVEN THOUGH THERE SHOULD BE NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN PUBLIC. 4) YOU NEED THE SPECIAL CASE TO CHARGE THE RAYBAN'S,... LOSE THE CASE YOUR SCREWED! SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A USB C PORT BACK UP ON THE GLASSES! REAL DUMB MOVE IN MY OPINION. 5) SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A MINI INSIDE VIEW SCREEN TO VIEW/SEND VIDEOS & SEE/SEND TEXT MESSAGES. SUMMARY: To "Rayban",... Overall I'm going to give you a solid 4/5 stars. These Sunglasses cost me close to $500. Canadian dollars but fell short on many features and could really use more features & battery life. I would recommend buyer's wait for the next generation, as the tech is already in use with other brand Sunglasses. I hope this helps you decide. Take care and stay well. J.O

I like it after seeing lots of review, it's true. They are fun to play with. I really like the speaker and use them as headphones.
