Great review! Thanks! 👍
These glasses are very useful and cool! I have a pair and plan on getting another pair. I mainly use them for the speakers. People around you won't even know you're listening to music. I work in a manufacturing plant and do home improvements on the side. A major plus is in a very noisy environment with earplugs in you can still hear them perfectly.
yeah that’s one of my favourite parts of these, i work checkout at a grocery store and these are the only way i can have a podcast or some background music playing
@@hadesbutyoutubewhen will the meta ai be realased international?
i agree so much on adding a second camera, they could add so many differnt functions for those
hell, even one positioned horizontally and one positioned vertically to allow you to set the orientation would be really nice
Awesome video, very informative ! keep it up
Great video about the Meta Ray Bans smart glasses. I've been using mine for a month. Love it too, but it's still not as smart yet. LOL! I live in the US but unfortunately, access to the multimodal AI features beta version has been closed to only a limited number of users. Anyway, thanks for sharing your review.
New to your Channel. Great Job capturing the most important things to cover.Just had issue with the blur as it was messing with my eyes.Other then that Awesome Video. Thanks for sharing. ✌️💯
thank you! the blur will be sorted in future, just missed a few things when i was shooting that i meant to remove from the shot
Great video.
I love mine as well.
Main uses for them
Taking calls
Listening to podcast
And responding to messages
Key features I would like to see:
Ability to set reminders& alarms
Make a calendar event
Change FOV for videos/photos
Absolutely, deeper system integration with Meta’s AI would be fantastic. Apple’s locked down system might make it a bit difficult on iOS, they’d probably have to build the functionality into the Meta View app and have it sync to other apps where possible (eg. Meta View calendar syncs to iCal).
This is absolutely the best review I’ve seen on these glasses while doing my research. Thanks for putting it together!
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful!
Awesome video! I ordered mine with prescription lenses. Can’t wait to get them.
You’ll love them! Hope yours get delivered early 🙏
Where did you order with the perscription lenses
@@danielBrown-fs7xq You can order them with prescriptions in the Ray-Ban website, and I believe some physical locations allow you to get prescriptions as well but I’m not 100% sure.
@@hadesbutyoutube I got them yesterday and they are freaking awesome!
Time can't seem to move any slower for me who lay waiting with enormous anticipation for my Wayfarer's arrival to my selected optometry prescription eyeglasses retail store for my p/u! 😊
Been there, I was very disappointed after visiting 4 physical stores and not being able to find the transition lenses knowing I’d have to wait for delivery
Good review. A step in the right direction for smart glasses, but not enough to make me interested even if they hadn't been tied to Meta (a company I actively avoid, but I know I'm in the minority on that score). The speakers seem OK, but I would want some heads up display functionality (and more of a phone connection because I don't like talking to tech when I'm out and about, but again, that's just a personal preference).
As far as I can tell the glass isn't polarized which is also a shame, but being able to get prescription lenses is great!
The transition lens isn’t polarised, but polarised lens are available. A HUD would’ve made this even cooler and I would love to see something like that in a future generation. It is still a shame it’s tied to Meta, but really any company with the money to make this happen isn’t going to be great with data unfortunately.
Great video and one more sub!,..Do you know how the prescription options work wirh the Rayban? Because the website mentions the prescription ones but it doesnt specify very well how thats work. Thanks!
Not sure, never have needed prescriptions myself. If you’re in the US (and likely other countries), I’ve heard people on the Rayban Stories subreddit mention eyewear stores as a way to get them with prescriptions.
Hi great video
Just updated to version 3 in Australia
Tried using a VPN to get access to the AI no luck
Do you have to be in a certain city in the US?
Is it a menu option that needs to be selected?
Not sure about that one. I didn’t have any specific settings on, just opened the app a couple times with the VPN on. If you’re talking about the multimodal AI, you’ll have a much harder time for that one. It’s still early access.
@@hadesbutyoutube thanks for getting back to me
Not talking about the multimodal AI as I imagine that'll be a while before it hits us in Australia
At the moment all the Hey Meta does is take photos tell me the weather but can't ask it basic questions I'll have another go at VPN in the US
And I imagine they've shut the door on that too
Great review. Really appreciate your crisp, articulate and information packed delivery with a nice twist of personal style. Best wishes for the success of your CZcams channel. You deserve to do well :)
Did you say you got Standard or Large size??? It sounded like you said standard large, so was confuses as the website says “Standard” or “Large” trying to decide on size
When I purchased, the standard size was "Large", with the other size being "XL". I bought the Large size.
Thanks for the vid! When you say activate a vpn and restart the app, what screen do you stay in to get the prompt for AI features? Do you need to be in a specific tab? Trying to do it but nothing is popping up.
It should just prompt you to enable it, but I have also noticed that the recent v2.0 update that just got pushed was starting to restrict AI features better, might not work anymore.
Great review. Liked, subscribed.
What size is this
Do they solve any of the legal/privacy issues that killed Google Glass? The 'record light' has already been partially bypassed. This is Glasshole Mk2.
As far as I can tell from a quick search, the Google Glass didn’t have any form of recording indicator aside from the screen being on, which is probably the main thing that these fix in terms of privacy. I did see posts about people partially covering the light with tape after uploading this, and I would love to see Meta improve the cover detection in later generations.
I don’t think (or i at least hope not considering i wear these daily) these would be the Glasshole thing all over again mainly because of how much they just look like glasses. Google Glass was unmistakably Google Glass, but these just look like glasses at first glance.
So theres no tech in the lenses themselves? As in, I cant get google maps to display directions on an overlay, weather notifications etc? Its just a camera with an AI assistant on your face?
Yeah, nothing like Google Glass or the Xreal glasses (yet). But nothing’s stopping you from starting navigation on your phone and using the glasses for audio. Doing that with the Apple Watch for walking directions makes me feel like I’m straight out of Night City.
Nice review
1. If glasses are not comfortable: Don't wear them. You should not 'get used to it'. Even if it was that expensive
2. The glasses look very reflective
it’s not really that they’re not comfortable, more just the extra weight can definitely make itself known after a few hours with them on. i’ve seen people on the ray-ban stories subreddit say that they’ve had luck getting them adjusted but the problem just disappeared for me personally. they do look very reflective on camera, i’m assuming because of the transition lenses? they don’t look reflective at all when you’re wearing them
Seems as though there were a lot of blurry things in the FOV
yeah my shooting schedule is very tight, i could have a spare 20-30 minutes to shoot and that’s all i’ll have for the next month and just forgot to take a few things out of shot, sorry about that 🙏
Id wait for if they add screens
I bought 2 of them and one of them had a quality problem. The metadid not deal with my problem and was very disappored
My biggest concern is privacy. Would've loved little magnetic covers for the lenses when you're in private spaces or you don't want people to feel uncomfortable
Then you should throw away your phone...cause its worse on there!!
Something like those webcam covers that some Lenovo laptops have where there's a switch that physically covers the camera would be a great addition.
EDIT: Hate to do this to you, but I just noticed your channel is older than me. Have fun with that info 😅
@@bigv1 not really. you are not pointing your phone at people constantly
@xybersurfer it's not about pointing his issues is privacy im guessing because of Meta's involvement and our phones are far from secure or private 🤷🏾♂️
@@bigv1 maybe. but he only took this opportunity to address the physical aspects, so it's more reasonable to assume that that's his main issue
I just wish we'd get a nice pair like this that isn't meta product requiring to have a facebook account
yeah that would be very nice, i’m not a huge fan of meta but i do have to give them credit for some excellent hardware, mainly these and the quest 3
Nice one!
I thoroughly understand the frustrations some of you non Americans Ray Ban Meta smartglasses wearers may enter while operating the glasses features... After all, I'm from NJ.
Yeah as far as I can tell it’s hard to get the multimodal stuff even when you’re in the US
I'm from India, and I like your presentation style. It's very unique, not like the usual high brow mkbhd style videos. It feels more organic and grounded. Good work. Keep it up 😊
Well, I'm definitely not putting a camera with meta logo on me anytime soon.
fair enough honestly 💀
y
you forgot to blurr the "item" (in 4:03:). :)
…forgot about that. main thing was just not having it in the main shot 😅
Now everyone wearing these glasses I'm gonna think is filming. Nerds gonna get nerfed HARD, no one wants to talk to a CAMERA
There is a light that informs you the camera is in use hope that helps with your insecurities
Good video but just some light criticism, the blurring to the left of your head in the shot with your room is super distracting
oh yeah i left something on my desk i couldn’t have in shot, that was not intentional and won’t be in future videos 🙏
Video should be horizontal 4K.
Even a 4:3 or similar ratio, to make it easy to crop into vertical or horizontal. I think 1080 is fine for this use case, but vertical only is really annoying. 60FPS would be a nicer improvement over 4K for me personally.
Didn't hear, were these gifted to you to test?
Nope, bought these myself. As of this comment (and for my upcoming Meta Quest 3 review), I've never received a review unit from a company.
omgmgggg
you still exisst
yt hid your channel but i remember you
still here just with absolutely no upload schedule 🙏🙏
Would never use meta (fb)
i’ve seen this comment trend a bit, i kinda forgot how much meta is hated 😅
it pisses me off that the google lens had to fail
I would've loved a Google Glass, I hope they try to bring it back.
@@hadesbutyoutube As far as I know it, they wont. When it failed back in 2013 they made it exclusive to companies and the only once you can get are for company use and overly expensive unfortunately
so its a camera... wow.....cough
there’s at least 3 other things you missed
I bought these glasses and returned them they’re absolutely terrible do not listen to this man he doesn’t know what he’s talking about he’s probably getting paid by Meta.
Lol what made them so bad
Yeah, genuinely interested to know what made them bad for you. As much as I would love that paycheck from Meta I don’t think they’d pay a 400 sub channel 💀
@hadesbutyoutube you definitely had the best review I watched on these.. one question I have is if these have a buffer where you can start the recording 2-3 seconds in the past like a dashcam? That would make these a must buy imo
@@IntoTheRealm thank you! i would’ve loved something similar but they don’t have a buffer of any sort. although im kind of glad they don’t that would be a privacy nightmare and probably kill the battery even faster 😅
Lol Sureee you did.. your silence in response is deafening 💀
Warning Mines broke in a month don't buy
cheaper than airpods
I don't want to look like a loser thanks
I bet you do a good job of that yourself
TERRIBLE AI
Rayban good. Meta not. No thanks
Sheep
Good for you man
Boring review. I’m leaving 20% into the video
anything in particular you’d change?
Bro you say it's boring but you didn't even say what was bad about it. Honestly I liked the video
Maybe, we can find them for 1/10 of the price 🤣
