Heyooooo!! 🧔🏼♀
It’s majestic
I’ve watched a lot of videos on these glasses and this was one of my favorite videos. I’m shocked it doesn’t have more views. Thank you.
HAH! Thank you! Algorithm notoriously has had it out for me. Anyway, THANKS DUDE!
These glasses are amazing mostly due to the speakers. Music / podcasts all day, any time. Win.
hah YUP! total win : )
These have been on my mind for a while, thanks so much for the thorough review!
I'm less than 24 hours away from owning my own pair of Ray Bans Meta Wayfarer's and I'm shredding through my thoughts of what am I going to photograph 1st...
I am sooooo happy for this photo / video experience unlike any other! 😊
Nice! Stoked for ya!
@dandobi I got 'em (Wayfarer's), and I feel great!
I'm still learning Ray Bans navigational ropes, and the feel of these Ray Bans on my face is as light as a breath of fresh air!
Photography quality will be rubbish compared to real camera with proper photo lenses.
Wow. What a review..!! Watched several others but this answered all my queries without even asking. Thanks.!!
hah! amazing! thanks so much! Glad it was helpful!
I've been considering getting these for a while to be able to live stream fun LEGO stuff. Your video convinced me to finally pull the trigger. Fantastic video and answered every question I had. Thank you! 🙏
Glad I could help!
Thank you Jesus! Lol
Praise be! 🙏🏼🧔🏼♀️
LITERALLY 🤣🤣🤣
@@dandobi 🙏😂
Best review I’ve seen. Thank you!
Heyyyy! Thanks so much Jessica! appreciate you! : )
Solid review! Zuckman/meta- listen to the suggestions.
YEEEE! Thanks brother!
Great overview. I just ordered mine today for a trip to Japan. Can’t wait to use them.
nice! you're gonna dig em! oh man, I'm jelly... wish i was going! have fun out there!
Nice video Dude! 👍🏼. Love this Rayban meta and got one. Features are fantastic.
thank you!! :)
Nice review Dan!! I love tech reviews! I have the same glasses 👓 all of them 😅
Thank you my friend! ❤ oh you have em as well? Where’s the content! Hah 😎
Don't forget the Transition's lens option. So, the could be great indoors and great outside.
excellent review sir! I need to get one of these!
Thanks dude! Yeah I bet you’d do some cool stuff with em! 😎
Great concise video. Liked, subscribed. I had already bought my glasses, and I agree with everything you said.
Heyoooo! Thanks Nick! Thanks for commenting and glad you agree! Woo! 🤠
Glasses don't have the ability to replace my phone since 1/2 my time being entertained is content on places like CZcams!
Thank you for the review. I wonder if they can be regular prescription that change over to sunglasses in light. That would be so ideal. Thanks again!
Hands down best review on these glasses.
Hand down BEST comment! Thanks so much friend! ✨
@@dandobi new fan made 🤝
Really enjoyed your take! I love mine, had them for a week now.
Thanks Scuba-friend! Oh crap! Turning 40 this year? LET’S GOOOOO! 🫱🏽🫲🏼⚡️
Great review, i may wait until next gen just to fix the issues you mentioned and maybe they'll add landscape mode to the cameras, overall ill probably get them closer to summer, depending my travel plans lol
Today I was at the dentist office listening to my Spotify playlist on my Meta glasses. I have prescription, transition lenses, which work well, going from inside to outside and vice versa. After I was seated in the dentist chair, I switched over to my Quizlet app to start studying vocabulary for my upcoming language class. I had brought some Bluetooth headphones for that, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the audio was still connected from my phone to my glasses, so I could use the Quizlet App without needing to use headphones. Most people who have these glasses probably already know that it works that way, but I didn't and was happy to find out that it did.
The other thing that I found out but didn't quite like is that when I had my phone plugged into my car and was using the Android for Auto App, when I tried to play Spotify on my glasses, it started playing it on my car speakers.
hah, that's awesome! yeah I don't have transitional glasses but I almost wish I got them for this reason alone! appreciate the comment!
Solid, smooth review! Zukman, love it! I own the transitions and was pissed when I drove in them with no sunglass effect. I found some clip on shades (Amazon-Caxman Polarized clip on, XL) fixed that issue, don’t look like crap, and will still work with pics and videos! Totally happy with them now, except for the few cons you mentioned! Subscribed!
Woooo! Thanks Mr. Rideman 🤙🏼
I don't think I've ever heard someone say they have been spoiled by Siri.
you heard it here first folks!
I’m buying these soon and was eager to hear your thoughts on syncing images and photos. Sounds like it’s super smooth!! Any idea why the App Store reviews for the Meta View has tons of recent reviews saying it simply “doesn’t work”? Has there been a bad update recently? Maybe setup is just a bit confusing?
Thanks for the great review!!
Excellent review.
thanks dude!!
Great video and review
Thank you so much!
GREAT VID! 😊
THANKS RICK!!! 🎉
👌 nice review - concise well edited. Any thoughts on what you 'loose' to meta via selling your sole to 'the great overlord in the sky'? If your using meta search engine, then are they constantly (or intermittently) reviewing your activity???
Sweet review and like your 🦭 of approval 😂
hah, thanks dude! 🦭👏🏼
Great review. Tell me you dig grunge and heavy metal!
love the review, and the "Zuckman" name 😂
Thanks DZGMAN! 😎⚡️
Love the video - if I trusted anything enough to let it record everything I’m looking at, I’d consider it
HAH! veryyyy true! 😎
Quick question, are they anti reflection?
Yeah you can tell the difference between the quality at 1:35 for sure. The glasses still look great though!
Yup! difference between the 4k 10-bit ProRes apple log and 1080p out of the Ray-Bans :)
I recently bought mine with my prescription and this video makes me more excited for them to come in! Great review!
hopefully the firmware updates fix the bluetooth audio issue. can you use airpods and these at the same time?
Wooo! Nice! Glad to hear that! And yes you can use air pods while using them 👍🏼
Hoe long did yours take to ship after submitting your prescription? Just ordered myself a pair with prescription!
Best review I have seen thank you. I want to use these to record while cooking in full sun. What’s your opinion?
Ha! Thanks so much! What a compliment! Yeah! I think they could work for that, just keep in mind you’ll have to break your clips up into one minute segments (unless your going live with it)
Great Video
thanks dude!
On Android, I don't have any issues placing calls or sending messages. In fact, you say to call someone by their first name and it knows your most commonly used contact. I wonder if iOS makes it difficult. When taking your glasses off, fold the arms and that should kill the Bluetooth connection. Another, cool trick if you didn't already know is to say "hey Meta, take a picture and send it to (contact
Thought this was an avengers snippet of Thor, you look so alike man ngl
Haha! This might be the best comment I’ve ever received! Thanks dude! 🧔🏼♀️🔨⚡️
There is an option in settings to select when off your head they will come off.
Amazing review and so funny 😂.. new sub here.. what colour is your lenses pls
hi! thanks so much! They are just the generic polarized versions : )
Does it work with Android phones?
Great video, Could you tell me if the green lens or the graphite lens is darker? I’d like a lighter lens for cloudy conditions, thanks
Thanks, dude, actually I don’t know the answer to this, best bet would be to go into your local sunglass hut and check it out!
wow nice ray-ban meta
it can be shipped to turkey ?
Hey there! I'm not a rep for the company and I don't work for meta/rayban so I can't tell you that. best bet would be to go to the website and see if they'll ship there otherwise... maybe ebay? : )
Wish I could take longer than 60 seconds, but other than that all sounds so good
you'll be surprised how often you WON'T care about this after using them, trust me : )
@@dandobi OK gotcha - appreciate that feedback / perspective on that!
As long as it makes you happy...
Thanks for a fun punchy review. I ordered mine to do maybe a dozen or so clips of the jobs I do and then just stitch them together into one file maybe trimming a few of them and then post to CZcams. No other editing. Can you suggest something that might be good for that on Android or Mac?
Hey! Thanks dude! I really only edit on Adobe Premiere on my mac. If you're only editing on your phone, I'm pretty sure you could take the clips into IG, make a reel then export it out without posting... You could do that or use CapCut (I hear good things!). let me know if you have any other questions!
I have the version before these and that music switching is a pain. I wear the glasses with air pods. When I get a call, it goes to the glasses. I have to squeeze the AP to re-direct. Sometimes, I have to go into the audio settings on the iPhone and re-route the audio.
It’s much improved on this version 👍🏼
I have the first generation before the name and design change of the case. I want to change them to prescriptions so I can wear and use them more often.
yeah! get in there! i think it's a big improvement from the first gen!
The audio switching from phone to glasses I think is not a glass issue. It happens on my iPhone as well when I’m playing Spotify on Google home, then I put on my AirPods. The music automatically transfers to the AirPods.
Did you get the transitional lenses or just plan shades?
hey there! I just got the regular polarized ones!
im sold
i'm sold... on you! thanks for the comment!
BRB picking up pair of these beauties
get ittttttt 🍻
I got the same ones but with clear lens prescription - same reasons
glasses friends UNITE!!! 😎
@@dandobi you know it dude.. and great job with this review
So you must have the beta version in order to be able to have it describe the flower Yes?
Hey there! I believe on the newest firmware it’s available to everyone!
Hello and quick question i want to buy ray ban but i have no idea which one to buy considering i don't do live streaming mainly want to use it for watching movies?
hey there! you mean "listenting" to movies? these don't have screens in them, they operate just like regular sunglasses however, they have speakers in them... so if you're watching something on your phone, you can listen to the audio via the glasses, but you cannot physically watch something in the frames, it's just ... glasses : )
Can we put prescription glasses in them after buying, or it will break it ?
I would probably order them with your prescription or bring it in to get them replaced!
it only film video only for 60 s ??
yes, but you can just continue to hit record and it will keep going!
Where are the photos / videos being saved to phone album or app ? How does the live work
hey there! so there's an app and you can view ALL the media via that but you can click an option where content gets auto-saved to your camera roll. You just have to adjust a setting to AUTO IMPORT and it's like magic, you shoot and content gets on your phone. easy!
Love that Walter is in every other shot haha 🦮❤
He a good boi 🤗
Come for the camera, stay for the speakers.
They are alright. Perfect for biking. Great charging case.... douno how long theyll last though
about that last con.... its not gonna get fixed; it's very basic Bluetooth- they always do that and raybans activate when the right temple is folded on.
Either you can kil the connection prior or just live woth it and go in your phone and set the music back to the first stereo
all good points! yeah that's a good solution! appreciate you watching and commenting! woo!
The only drawback to wearing glasses and Ray Bans being no exception is having the need to have the frames sent out for prescription. And in my case - 2 weeks!
What kind of flower were you looking at?
Bougainvillea bay bay! 🌺🌺🌺
ok so my hands don't function properly and I was super excited when i found out about the voice assistance but now im not so sure. if your hands didn't work, would you still get the glasses?
Hey there! I would say yes (but would love more context to answer this with confidence). I will say this, there has been times when I'm doing yardwork and my hands are dirty so to pick up a call or skip a track, I've used the side of my wrist to use the touchpad... but thinking about it, I use the voice assistant often so if i HAD to use it hands-free, yes I would still get it. Hope this helps! : )
thank you very helpful@@dandobi
Does Meta AI feature work in any language ? Like french or Spanish etc ?
I … believe so!
I see you use the Ray Bans with your iPhone, the big question I have is: Can you stream Apple Music, or are you limited to Spotify?
Hey dude! yup! will work with apple music!
@@dandobi I'm getting an eye exam, and trying a pair on next week. If they look decent, and I get transition lenses, these COULD be my primary glasses!
My question is, is this okay for you health? I mean we got the sound going to your head what does the waves from recording and music do to you? Is there any health issues to an item like this?
Interesting question! I don't know the answer to that but it's worth looking into. If I find any info on it, I'll report back here : )
Yeah, I got these, loved them, but had the transition lenses and after about 2 hours of wearing them I would start to feel sick ( I'm a teacher and can wear glasses inside, even tented ones). So I sent back the transition pair and was thinking about getting the dusty red lenses, do the “sun glasses” hold up
Indoors ok? As in could you wear them inside and still see? I saw someone who apparently does popular reviews and said his big mistake was getting the sunglasses because it was to dark
Inside. But again those transition lenses made me sick, so I was wondering how they held up inside, if I connected them to my tv if it was dark out in a pair of sunglasses? In your opinion. And again I'm a teacher I could wear them while I'm teaching webjsve HUGE lights in here, but just wondering your opinion.
Hey there! Ah man, I would have to see your situation to make a proper call here however I would say sunglasses indoors might not be the move. I would stick with the transitions, however you said you were getting sick? Maybe give it another go and see how the transitions work, that would be my opinion! 🤠
@@dandobi thanks, man, I had them for about a month and they just made me feel sicker and sicker I’ll after awhile, (only when they were in clear mode, so I figured I'd try and go with the lightest color lenses they had that weren't transition, either amber or dusty red. I'm not sure how to show you my my current situation I basically mean just using them in doors I know exactly how they work, I used the transitions for over a month, they transition to sunglasses barely worked so I asked for a replacement pair and it wasn't any different. I just had a bad experience with them.
Just need new update features. Otherwise I like my pair
Do these work with Apple Music
Yup!
if it can go live 30 min, can we somehow mod it to record more than 1 min?
Good question. I don’t think it’s possible as WHEN you stream, you’re streaming compressed video. That’s my take.
@@dandobi i'll update you on my findings once i start tinkering
Bluetooth off when the frame arms close.
Yo, what lenses do you have?? Green or polarized?
Hey! Polarized 😎
@@dandobi 🍻
WOULD THIS BE A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO A DASH CAM ? I DONT WEAR GLASSES OFTEN AND WOULD ONLY BE USING THESE WHILE DRIVING. MY DAILY COMMUTE FOR WORK IS ABOUT 1.5 - 2 HOURS ON THE HIGH WAY. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO BEING HIT AND HAVE SEEN SOME HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS. SO MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG CAN THESE VIDEO RECORD FOR?
hey dude! it can record up to a minute at a time unless you're streaming. TBH, I don't think this is a great substitute for a dashcam.
APPRECIATE THE FAST REPLY. IS THERE ANY SMART GLASSES THAT WOULD ACTUALLY RECORD FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME?
Can you livestream to CZcams with these glasses?
Hey! You actually can’t but that would be awesome! Just Facebook and instagram at the moment. Maybe in the future (I hope!)
"Spoiled with Siri"..... Never thought I'd hear that..
I wanna know y they don't record 5 minutes long on regular mode?
Those the standard or large size?
I was using the standard size ones. I tried them both on and the size difference is negligible. I wouldn’t overthink it, standard is fine 😎
The rayban web site has only xl available, I really want to order. There isn't much of a difference in the size in the two?
@@newmexicostixx I think the size difference is extremely negligible 🤷🏼
what size are yours medium?
large! : )
I wish these would come in an Asian fit frame. The fact they said they won’t is crazy.
If you’re only able to record for 60 seconds and live stream for up to 30 minutes, why not offer a way to remotely record? Other wise you’d have to live stream and record that live stream if you’re wanting longer video clips. They have the potential. Have you found any quick solutions for that?
I haven't had any problems making calls its been flawless and sending messages and no i don't have whats app or messenger.
You just need to fold them closed. To keep it from playing on your glasses when they are off your face.
WELLLLLLLLLLLLL
WELLLLLLL ISA' BIG SHOWWWW ✋🏼
3:26 wait you can watch a youtube video with these? Or do you mean listen to a youtube video?
right, you can watch a video on your phone and LISTEN to the audio through the glasses... sorry if that wasn't clear hah. there are no visuals physically in the lenses.
thanks for the reply, great review@@dandobi
you got it! thanks dude!
What about wearing while driving?!
You mean like shooting? I think it’s great for POV content. If ya mean for safety, the glasses don’t “show” you anything, everything is done via audio so using while driving is totally safe! No different than regular glasses! 😎
Eh. Dont expect transitions to work well- switch to regular polarized for that.
Just get a dash cam
Good
You’re good 👍🏼
The vertical only killed it for me. I’m sure they had reasons but just not the form I need them for.
for sure, i hear that, maybe in a firmware update they'll change it... or next gen!
@@dandobi always need something to sell the next gen. 😂 I didn’t know if it was field of vision issue with the landscape. They had my money till I found out about the vertical only.
@@stevencarrier5060 hah! yeah! I mean, again I would prefer the option to go horizontal as well, but a workaround would be to just crop in post and then up-res the footage OR do the crop than add grain, stylize it and make it look funky 🙃
Sounds like a video idea! When can we expect the tutorial?🤣@@dandobi
“Spoilt with Siri”?!?!? Siri is a dumpster fire that has somehow got worse since its debut several years ago!!
Can’t you just turn off the glasses if you put them down?
You can! Little switch on the side.
Glasses Jesus reviews are great
Blessings my son 🙏🏼
⚠These AI features does NOT work outside US. The glasses is just a regular camera and nothing else.
these features are blocked outside of the US? is that confirmed? I know the AI is still in closed beta, but I'm SURE once it's public, you'll be able to use it everywhere, as long as you're tethered to your phone.
So if I ride a electric bike and go 36 mph World I still be able to listen to music good ?
Heyooo! DAMN! What e-bike do you have that goes 36mph and can i have one?! I have a motorcycle and WHEN using them, the audio is fine however I'm wearing a helmet and am pretty "tucked in" however if you're free-balling it (not wearing a helmet) I would bet you you'll have to be at full blast to get some good levels in your ears. But also, if you're going 35mph, wear a helmet! 👷🏼♂️
@dandobi I'm going to wear a motorcycle chopper helmet And it's the electric choppers style It says it goes 40
When you said, what kind of flower am I looking at?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i’m having issues understanding the meta-voice commands. I will ask her to do certain things and she said she can’t do them. Like, she won’t tell me what objects I am holding
Or am i doing it wrong
Hah thanks! I think you might be old firmware. Not positive but I think they are slowly pushing out firmware so everyone can use, but it will for sure be available to everyone soon!
What firmware number do you have?
V1.3
I have V2 and asking to look at something still doesn't work.
I don't think it's available outside the US still@@slickrick411
The feature that has the AI see what you do isn't live. It's a closed beta
can they do a live translation while talking to someone?
haven't tested this out but I'm going to say that I don't believe this feature exists yet. I'm SURE it's coming though!
new flavour idea for prime.... dandilion & burdok
yo i'd drink dat
I heard they don't shoot straight on, and you have to look slightly to the right of your subject. That seems like a fairly major issue.
ehhhh! This is not as bad as you're making it out to be to be honest. I think it's completely fine!
