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

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.

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).

I hate how we get ripped off here in Australia hey. Great seeing an Aussie reviewing these mate! Nice! As ya can see from my pic. I have the ray-ban wayfarer normal sunnies on. But I can’t use them all the time cos I wear prescription. I love tech so when I seen these I had to find out more about them! I think they are still out of stock! Harder to find my sizing also. I’m a large I’m pretty sure. Thanks again for this review mate! Ya sold me! 😎

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.

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!

@hadesbutyoutube 4 ай бұрын

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.

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.

@hadesbutyoutube 3 ай бұрын

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.

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

@hadesbutyoutube 4 ай бұрын

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

@onenote6619 4 ай бұрын

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.

@hadesbutyoutube 4 ай бұрын

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.

@lukewarmape603 4 ай бұрын

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?

@hadesbutyoutube 4 ай бұрын

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.

Unfortunately that kinda tech won’t be around for 10+ years or more. There is no way to be able to get the glasses lens to show that stuff without the lenses being huge thick led screens on ya face 😵‍💫 would be cool though hey.

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.
