I got the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses: 7 answers for all you Redditors scratching your heads

As a tech reviewer, I love diving deep into the internet to uncover what exactly people want to know about the products I test. So, let’s talk about the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, a pair of spectacles that I bought with my own hard-earned cash. The confusion surrounding these snazzy shades, especially among the Reddit community, is quite amusing.

About the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
When you watch Meta’s ad about these glasses, I totally get why some folks might feel let down, especially if they were expecting a mixed-reality (MR) device. But let me clear things up for you – these glasses have zero MR capabilities.

Answering Reddit’s Burning Questions
So, I’ve taken it upon myself to answer seven burning questions about the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses from a couple of Reddit threads.

Can You Listen to Music?
Absolutely! The sound quality is surprisingly good. While I’m commuting on the Long Island Railroad to the office, I enjoy crystal clear, full, and rich sound from Spotify. These glasses solve the issue of earbuds falling out and bulky headphones not being portable.

Is the Audio Audible to Others?
If you like your volume above 30%, then yes, people around you will hear your music. I’ve had my embarrassing reggaeton tunes leak out of my glasses a few times. But if you keep the volume below 30%, the sound remains muffled to those nearby.

More About the Glasses
The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses can take photos and shoot 60-second, 1080p videos. The camera even has an ultra-wide lens, giving your photos that expansive look. And no, you can’t record videos in landscape mode – they’re meant for easy social media sharing in portrait orientation. So, if you’re in the market for hands-free, stylish smart glasses that enhance your phone experience, these might just be the perfect fit for you.

Sure thing! You can keep filming one-minute videos with your Meta View smart glasses until the battery calls it quits. Once you’re done shooting, just hop on the Meta View app and you’ll have all your 60-second videos neatly stored in the library.

7. “What’s your store? Best Buy?”

I got my hands on a pair straight from Ray-Ban, setting me back $299 (or $324.79 with taxes included). But if you prefer shopping on Amazon, you can snag these nifty spectacles there as well.
