@6monthslater Is there a way to hide, paint over, or disable the recording light?
It doesn’t seem to offer anything particularly special, just built-in speakers, a microphone, and a camera integrated into the frame. I wouldn’t categorize this as an AI or smart glasses product, especially when compared to other smart glasses, particularly those from Chinese brands that offer more advanced features.
3 minutes for a video? I thought they can record all day
The glasses are trash if you can’t video for longer than 3 minutes
Pretty good review. Not convinced by the product at all and waiting for 2-3 next generations
Google glasses 2.0
So basically they take pictures and you can listen to music. The music part is out the window cause i use airpods anyway. So the only realistic thing they do is take pictures and videos, which isnt really needed either. The only people i see these benefiting are shorts/reels content creators and/or streamers.
Okay, I am VERY impressed with the charging case!
Is it always jittery video
They look great. Almost exactly what I’ve been fancying. 3 min vid limit and vertical shooting is a deal breaker for me though. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Good review but those don’t look like the right shape sunglasses for you, which could be causing your sore ears. Cool review though cheers. Think I’ll hold off until a competitor comes out not much if fan of meta.
exams A
Portrait kills it. Would never buy it.
3 minute video? Hoping 3hrs
is there like an option do go to school for like a test and just look at the questions and they pop up for you
Now we have meta ray ban glasses 😂
When is the next generation dropping?
4:06 Quality surprisingly good? Are you talking to people in the 90s? My eyes still hurt from that video footage! Thanks for sharing anyways 🤙
FOUR hours? Swing and a miss.
Good review, it’s sounds like I’ll be buying the upgrade
Can I cheat on a test wearing these? Can the glasses read the question & give me the answers?
why no YouTube music? thank god i don’t need to buy them now. i only use YouTube premium
No one talked about how blurry and slow it is when live streaming on fb
Best part is if you need them perscription you can use fsa/hsa
Can I cheat on a test wearing these? Can the glasses read the question & give me the answers?
am so glad i am not impressed i didnt want to buy them but would off if they sounded good
I got a pair primarily because my work has restrictions on earbuds being worn at work. Because of the open ear design, they don’t classify as earbuds and I can wear them. Having the camera is an added bonus. That said, I just got the normal clear lenses as I’ll primarily be wearing them inside.
So my question is can i use it if i need to take a test?😂
why is the video recorded in portrait?
Can you listen music while making a video, if you want your video to have background music?
I can only think of ONE reason to use these glasses
What is the size of your glasses rims,mine seems to be a bit bigger than this and I love the smaller size,is it possible to change the voice on the glasses,if yes how can that be done.

Thank you for the great review – I was seriously interested in the glasses to record videos while bicycling – until I heard they only film 3 minutes. Maybe they’ll improve one day.
thanks Zack Morris 👍
Seems useless
I could get some cool shots cleaning expensive cars with these but will it even generate some money even if i get views?
Now they just need ar version
With technologies advancing fast, they should make a pair of glasses that automatically adjust to your eye sights. But same time people will lose their jobs lol
I’m wondering about possible radiation with this.
If the AI assistant isn’t up to par then they definitely aren’t worth it.
I want nothing to do with anything meta
Xiaomi AI glasses are far better
I have a question! Anyone please feel free to answer! I noticed when he was demonstrating the photos and spoke about the delay that a little white light came on while he waited for the system to snap the picture. Is that the same for the video? Is it little white light come on or is that just something that we saw in the video because another camera was looking at it? What I’m asking is if somebody was talking to me And I was recording, are they going to get annoyed that what is that little white light blinking on this edge of your glasses? I’d find that kind of annoying too.
Waiting for one that’s android compatible and has panorama picture orientation.
Ok. I was thinking on getting it. But now I’m not. Becuz I don’t use Spotify nor them other music apps. If it somehow can hook me up with my iTunes i might.
I think something everyone needs to be aware of is the price. Why would meta offer glasses with this technology for the low price of ~$200? Because they are getting an insane database to use. Imagine literally following someone through their daily life, from their perspective. Getting access to spacial data, interactive data, seamless integration of what you are seeing and doing. PLEASE value your data and consider the nefarious ways that companies release tools like this to the general public. Especially Meta. They have the absolute bottom of the barrel track record when it comes to using data for nefarious purposes and also saying one thing and doing another.
Can only the person wearing them hear the AI talking or music
Once they figure out a way to have a UI pop up in the lens like you’re in a video game and I’m all in
What about people who already wear glasses
