Community Reviews

Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 smart glasses stand out as easy, casual POV cameras that also work as sunglasses and audio glasses. The upgraded battery life and ultra wide 3K video are the main Gen 2 improvements, and the footage is described as solid for assembly clips, outdoor sports, and short highlight videos. Recording is limited to vertical video, with 3 minute, 1 minute, and 30 second modes, so longer captures can feel awkward. The bright recording LED cannot be disabled, and privacy concerns remain a real drawback. A practical pick if short, hands free clips matter more than stealth or horizontal video.

  • The glasses can record in 3-minute, 1-minute, or 30-second modes for different shooting needs.

  • The Gen 2 model is described as improving battery life and adding ultra-wide 3K video.

  • The glasses can work well for POV-style assembly videos with footage that looks good for that use.

  • The deal price can be substantially lower than an alternative purchase path for some buyers.

  • The glasses reportedly record only vertically, which can limit video quality for non-Shorts capture.

  • Battery performance is a concern, with Gen 1 batteries reportedly dying around the 24-month mark and Gen 2 battery described as not great.

  • The recording LED light cannot be disabled, which can reduce discretion compared with a smartphone.

  • The recording workflow can require repeatedly pressing record, which may get annoying at events.

How are these for POV driving videos or racket sports? Will look into it later but any insight would be appreciated.

Not necessarily. When you get discovered recording people in private settings and somebody knocks out a few of your teeth for you, you're gonna have to make sure you have separate dental coverage.

Depending on your vision insurance you might need to have prescription lenses

Main improvement is double the battery life and ultra wide 3k video. Few more styles as well

Doesnt this have 3min recording? So what you have to keep pressing record every time it stops, doesnt that get annoying if youre at a car meet/cruise or something? Any workaround for this?

You can choose from 3 mins, 1 mins, and 30 seconds. I actually use 30 seconds the most because when you stitch the videos together it just loads faster. Most highlights happen in short period of time, but yes occasionally it gets annoying when I do want longer videos, for that, I use my phone with a neck mount.

One Important thing to note is this will ONLY record vertically!!!!! It's build for shorts. For long videos I still just use my phone and neck mount.

I take a break every time camera

Thank you, kind of nerdy but how is the dynamic range? Does it overexpose the highlights when you are inside the car? Will probably pick up the shiny black transitions.

What? I can't answer your question but I think you'd be happy with the footage to be honest. Really not bad at all!

I bought from Best buy and shiny transition Large was sold out. Not sure about meta official website.

Buy now and think later!
