I had the Air 2 and returned them for the 2s. The 2 were actually great, but there's a better deal on Amazon for you to get the 2s with the Pocket TV ($179 msrp) for $320. I went with that. I used it with my ROG Ally and it was great for gaming.
Review of the 2, not 2s:
Pros: Brightness, comfort, adjustability, ease of use
Cons: App on android did not work, slightly blurry corner on bottom right, does not come with a case (so add ~$20 to the cost if you need one)
Overall, paying $100 more to get the Pocket TV and the carrying case is worth it. I received my 2s but haven't had time to test it out. From what I read in reviews it has better clarity, sound, and brightness. Easy choice for me to go for the 2s

Meta glasses are worthless, they're $2 frames with a tiny cameras in the corners, wtf are you gonna do with that, spy on people? The speakers on the temple frame arms is useful for listening to music, but my $10 wireless earbuds do the same thing.
The Ray Bans are awesome. They look like... Ray Bans because they are Ray Bans. They aren't whatever these things are. They allow for hands free video recording which is really cool if you like to do product reviews or want to record video while driving or at an event where you don't want to hold your phone up.
It is not secretive recording anymore, there is a cue light that won't let you record if it's covered (I think this is a good thing personally). But I mainly use them to talk on the phone while I'm walking. Much better experience than having earbuds in since you aren't blocking out the other noise.
The meta Ray Bans also have a built in "AI" assistant which can answer basic questions and do other personal assistant tasks. One of the coolest features (albeit kind of scary) is that you can ask the glasses what you're looking at and it will describe it to you. May be a good feature for blind people honestly.

the recording from the rayban is not worthy of doing a product review though. a 6 year old smartphone with a chest or head mount would be far superior.
That's your opinion. They work great for that and quick handsfree recording among other things. Obviously these glasses aren't the same at all so it's kind of irrelevant but I think we all know that nobody will ever where these RAYNEO's in public so they'll just be collecting dust.
The Ray Bans are indistinguishable from the regular ones unless you already know you're looking for them.

i think we both agree that people are not using glasses like the RAYNEOs in public, theyre using them on flights, hotel rooms, etc..to get a full productivity screen or watch 'content' privately. but we disagree on which one would be collecting dust....i think the raybans, with no screen and no real function, would be the ones collecting dust.
Nobody is going to where these on flights or in hotel rooms lol. The Ray Bans absolutely do have functionality. I don't know why anyone would say they don't. They are smart glasses which means you can make phone calls with them, listen to music, take videos and pictures and use a personal assistant without having to take your phone out of your pocket...
The Ray Bans are not the same as these glasses but someone was making that comparison which is how that conversation got here. But now, these absolutely have less functionality or value than the raybans...

wow, anything about this product? I am going to try and play League of Legends on it and see what happens that we have a big screen so I don't have to look at the mini map. The mini map will be right there in my view already I'm hoping. Kind of cheating if it works and it would be great I won't be in iron anymore.

Anyone have this and wants to share real life experience using it.
I bought it and used it, the magnetic connection for the glasses makes it very inconsistent. I got 10 min of use before it turning off. The on board speakers sound awful and the arms are too large to fit over ear headphones around it. The XREAL Air is a better product without a doubt. Used it on a round trip 5 hr flight each way and it's a far more usable product for cheaper than this. I posted a bad review on amazon and the company harassed me for a good week to take it down and held my refund hostage.
