RayBan Meta SMART GLASSES Review and MY HUGE MISTAKE!

[@daviday87]

I've watched a lot of review videos about smartglasses, and I stupidly never thought about the inconvenience of framing shots given the camera placement. Thanks for highlighting that!

[@djohnsongolf]

My mum is blind and I’m so excited about the prospect of Meta introducing some features for visually impaired people. Video calling like Be My Eyes or OCR so you can snap a picture of a letter and have the glasses read it back. Fingers crossed! 🤞

[@MainCharacter.X]

Wow dudee.... My eyes went like 😳 They are going to be life changer! Come on @Meta , MAKE IT HAPPEN !!! #MainCharacterDotX

Great review David! 13:00 I made the same mistake and mentioned that in my review too. Especially in the winter when it gets so dark early. You're right it is like a jack of all trades master of none. Impressive packaging nonetheless 😎

Whats your thoughts on battery life, it seems low to me.

[@morrisconstruction8]

@The_Benjamins yes, the battery life is poor and because you have to close and insert in case to charge it then that's a drawback.

[@carauctiontalk]

So I assume you have to bring a second pair of prescription glasses for when they are changing

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Yo! great video Dave, Im a new fan! So here's my feedback......I bought the transition lenses, per recommendation, and i'm a bit disappointed that they don't get darker in normal daylight. I may be sending them back to get the normal daylight version...I'm always creeped out when you can see someones eyeballs thru sunglasses in the daytime. They get dark under studio light, but not under normal day light, which is strange. Keep up the good work!

[@DavidManningvlog]

First off, I've been a massive fan of your work for years now, so to have you drop in here is amazing and I'm very humbled! I hope our paths cross at some point. To the transition lenses, I followed up on Instagram, but not with another full video on here. My notes now are that there are two really tough choices with these and that might make them a total no go for a lot of people. The tinted lenses are unusable indoors, but the transitions don't get dark enough outdoors. Plus, they don't get dark at all while driving because windshields have UV filters in them, so I would find myself holding them up to my side window to get dark. Unfortunately, with current tech, if you really want these, it's a choice of the lesser evil. Which is a bummer, because the speakers and quick photos are amazing to use!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

I got the transition lenses one too and returned them. They don't get dark enough like normal sunglasses. I am getting a different pair without the transition lenses.

[@armadilllo]

The problem with transition lenses is when you're driving they don't change because the windows are blocking UV light that makes them darken so you have to carry regular sunglasses too for driving

[@YakSailor]

Great review! I just ordered these with my prescription, transition lens along with progressive bifocals. Looking forward to getting them.

Could listen to music and take the on-a-whim video or photo. But I already have a small bluetooth speaker and action cams, so unless I'm wanting to go ultra minimalistic, I'll have to pass.

[@DavidManningvlog]

You saw the solution before the problem! Love it! How has your framing been? I'm finding that if something is close, I can frame it pretty decently, but like 10 ft away and it's always too far left and too high

[@AltitudeRider]

@@DavidManningvlog I’m still playing with the framing, but found if I turn my head a bit, they line up pretty good. We have 4 inches of snow outside, but I can’t wait to take a scooter ride with them and see how they do. Get that unicycle out and give it a shot! Thanks!

[@shalianaponte6598]

Thank you for such a detailed review with routine examples!!!I cannot wait to treat myself!!!

[@6JWB9]

Great review! However, one thing you forgot to mentioned that's very important and could be a deal breaker which is its battery runtime on this thing. From Amazon reviews, someone claimed it is very sucks. Just wearing it for 40 min w/o any playing, the battery went down to 60%... Is it true?

[@boxingdrama]

Yes, I think the battery could be better.

[@starkerss]

I had the RB Stories with transitions and i bought the Meta’s with G15. Transitions made me look like austin powers and they didn’t go dark enough outside, they also don’t go dark in a car because of the UV protection. I’ve already used the Metas a lot more than the Stories transitions.

[@Rozza43]

There should be a wide angle lens also, or just in place of the camera on there, they should switch it to wide angle and let you crop it later.

[@theturboman2007]

The problem with David saying that you can use the transition version of these glasses all day, both indoors and outdoors, is that if you are using them as a Bluetooth headset, the battery will drain in 2-3 hours and you will need to put them in the case for recharging. So, if you buy these glasses for listening to music/podcasts when you go out for walking/cycling, when you eventually go indoors, you will need to put them in the case anyway regardless of whether they have the regular lenses or the transition lenses.

[@cynide89]

Agree that phone calls are by far the most impressive feature, the quality is soo good!

[@robotpanda77]

This sums up so well what dr phil said about young people. It used to be, people were so excited that tech could do things. Now they are almost disappointed when it CANT do things. Instead of appreciating all the cool stuff it does we are just caught up on the fact it cant compete with a $1500 phones camera or premium headphones sound quality.

Oh boy! An outstanding review covering everything to know. Well done. Your musing abiut Prescription Transition Lenses is the most cogent for me.. at 47 and with every intention to remain stylish, itd ne the best for me.

[@koter3322]

I got a pair of these to replace my earbuds and have a convenient camera, and was stoked about it until I wore them and some people would ask me about the camera and seem to get uncomfortable in front of me. I didn’t think about it when I purchased them but now I feel like I’m stepping over some line of privacy even though I know I’m doing nothing wrong and don’t plan to. Just something to consider if you think you might want a pair, I’m not sure that ’ll keep wearing mine if this is becomes a constant issue, they work flawlessly though in terms of what I wanted them for.

[@DrTac]

The problem is that most windshields have uv protection, therefore you will NOT have sunglasses for driving if you go with the transitional option.

[@donxman3365]

I brought them July 1st 2024. It should be shared they have updated so it can now take videos up to 3 mins. Also, the transition is definitely the way to go. I brought the shades because they had no others left. Bad mistake. Fortunately, i was able to order transitions lens on Amazon for $50. Which brings my total to $350. However, if i got the ran ban transitions from ran ban it wouldve been $400. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@LOL_why_U_maD]

which size did you get foe the glasses? standard or xxl?

[@RonALampman]

Been using video glasses for a while before these came out and found the best way to put something in frame is to put a dot where you think you're shooting center, then review the video, reference where your dot is and make a correction to where the center is and make another dot there. If it still isn't exactly where you want it, repeat. I've found I hit it dead on after two adjustments and leave it there for reference.

[@aK1NG4lyfe]

Great review! Got all the info I needed. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@mavrick1228]

You did an awesome job of reviewing this product. I really appreciate your input on everything about them. I do agree that the timeline should be longer on the video for sure, especially since it has so much memory built-in. As for the camera itself I am very surprised they didn’t give the option built-in of horizontal or vertical shots but I kind of get it because most people are going to use the shots primarily for posting. What would really be cool is if they would put in a panoramic option and project a horizontal line across the lens to stay horizontal while taking the photo 😮

[@stevententis3731]

[@timpearce2281]

Since I wear prescription glasses, I've been wondering about the Transition lenses so I can wear them indoors. Word around the campfire has it that Metas have the older Transition coating and they transition to dark and light very slowly. It's said that they don't get very dark. You seem to have cleared those misconceptions with your glasses but I'm wondering when you order the prescription lenses if they use the older coating. Do you have anything on that?

Good vid, I was interested in a pair but did not want to spend the money on a pair of meta's so I went for a used pair of Stories. For $150 I got a shiny black pair with brown transition lenses. the vid/cam may not be the best but for those instances I just want to capture something, bang it is done. I like the fact I do not need to take my phone with me when I go out with the glasses as I can pair them up to any bluetooth device. for music/audio books/blogs. Might buy the meta 3s if they ever come out with good quality, high megapixel cameras.

[@jillapril]

I was at the mall yesterday and heard about these. I bought the brown pair which I really love but the main thing I don’t like is that because they’re brown you can see the camera and it’s more prevalent than on the black lenses. I did try on the transition lenses and I felt like they were really big on me. Like they kept sliding off my face, felt like they were made for a man. I might go back before my 30 days is up and swap them out because I hadn’t thought about, taking the sunglasses off when you go indoors.

[@dathyr1]

Question I have with the Transitional glasses is over time going into sunlight and then back to indoors - at sometime does the going back indoors - lenses not go back to perfectly clear as when you first bought them. I had regular glasses that did this same thing and over time and they had a tint to them even when indoors, but going outdoors in the sun they would get completely dark. I know the Meta Ray Band glasses can now do 3 minute videos. Not sure how many of this size videos it can hold at one time with the 32 gigbyte storage on glasses. If it can do fifty- 60 second videos, than I igure it would be about 16- - 3 minute videos in memory on the glasses. Another question on doing Auto save of videos to the App on the phone. How long does it take to do a save of videos??? And then to do another video???? Thanks for the video. Take care.

As a guy with a prescription I was going to get transitions right off the bat. :) I wanted the matte look but your concern about matte has be double thinking.

? Do you save and view pictures/videos to your phone? How do you erase photos/video from Meta to free up space?

[@Somerville87]

Just a tip for people from a different perspective. I actually anticipated the transition lenses issue before purchasing. I thought I was being very clever by ordering the transitions, but it came with a catch in reality. The transition lenses only go to colour "green" as opposed to the black or graphite which doesn't give me that dark, cool sunglasses look. I find it unless it is in very bright sunshine, the sunglasses are more like coloured lenses, rather than the blacked out look most people associate with shades. I personally know I don't suit a tinted lens look, especially with the old school Ray Ban style. If i'm somewhere thats hot but slightly overcast, it just looks like I need glasses. I'll be buying the full "Gradient Graphite" look and donating these to the girlfriend or mother.

I got the transitions my self they are great but I see your point and I think that’s why my boss took his lenses out! But glad to have transitions!

Can you post the link to the transition glasses because all I'm finding are the clear to green 😫

[@HorriblySound]

Can you get these in different styles, and maybe even with transitional bifocals?

Are they good for Cycling ??? To listen to music, to take live video as you cycle? to answer phone calls ?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Nope. I don't think the speakers are loud enough for that. That's probably their biggest weakness is that because they're just speakers near your ears, they do nothing to isolate audio

I love them! :-) Thank you for your review!

I've been wearing rayban prescription transitions for a few years so I'm seriously considering going for these as my next glasses.

As someone who likes colourful photos, I think the sunglasses look better here 2:28

Does there HAVE to be a light on when recording? Or can that be disabled?
