If you wear a hoodie with them on. The speakers get 3X as loud
This is true 😮
Nice! Gonna try that tomorrow
True asf
Cuffing your ears turn noise cancelation on
Yeah cool it helps.... still prefer my Sony in eat buds.... which these cut the connection off of every time I put em on
Apple Vision Pro: now you can wear a brick on you head and nobody would notice for only 5000$ Meta/Oculus: now you can wear sunglasses with advanced AI for only 300$
Thanks for this very helpful review!
Excellent review bro. Objectively just a good all around breakdown of the product
I'm going to wait for this model. The next version should have some type of stabilization and use cameras on both sides to combine the images similar to a 360 camera.
When will the next model be released?
Not 360, you mean 180?
Tech Fowler, I normally do not reply to any KZhead videos, however, I thing you did an honest review of the Rayban Smart sunglasses. I wanted to let you know that I really needed to know about the "portrait /landscape question. Nobody answered that except you! I will wait until 4K and that option becomes available. Also, It appears that all the room may be available in the future =for them also to put a second camera on the left for 3D. I will wait for at least 4K continuoius recording w/ 128GB storage Thanks for your video!! Jerry
As someone that used to work in an optical your points about the adjusting and polarized lenses over tinted one are on point. Maybe ppl with higher Rx might be bothered by the extra weight of the frame even with thin lenses. Also, are these waterproof or resistant?
Ya, ipx4
Informative review, thanks! I'm interested to get one. It seems practical and easy to use to record videos while I'm riding my motorbike. 🙏👍
I have the first-generation Stories; I love them when I am fishing in Costa Rica. You can just touch to turn on and you record exactly what you are seeing. So many times, I thought someone was recording the event to find out that it was just missed. I have so many fantastic memories from different events that were just not obtainable without them. I just wonder if it worth it to upgrade to the new style and options. " Christmas is coming "
Trust me it’s worth it!
Pretty sure I gotta get a pair of these...great vid, dude. Appreciate it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much for providing a down to earth truthful review. I think I am going to wait and see if they get better.
I'm debating this currently
Yes I’m sure they will get better and better
better in WHAT lol
@@iakobkv271 I’m talking memory, longer videos maybe, the resolution is pretty good but it’s a new thing so it will get better and better I believe but then again I could be wrong.
there is no ceiling for better. When they release that it can always be even better.@@nickrehmani
That’s a good option for action moments like skiing, on roller coasters, etc
I have the prescription transitions lenses and they're a game changer. I'm never working without listening to music again lol
You couldn't before? LOL now you can sneak it in
@Matanumi I work in pharmacy and unfortunately we have no music in the store. Now I have background music while I work thanks to these glasses. Plus the AI helps when I have to do math and I'm too lazy to grab a calculator 🤣
Off topic, but are you using a mic in your video? that's the clearest audio quality I've heard in a while. If you are, do you mind telling me what mic it is? I'm looking for a good quality one.
Great review! Do you think they'll ever come out with a firmware update to increase the video recording time beyond 1 minute?
Love your content and your socks Seth Apthcry
I would need horizontal to make them worth buying
hi... Great video!.... What size did you choose ?
I didn’t hear you mention the on off switch on the inside of the left corner / hinge area of the glasses.
would be useful if they dropped the 60 second clip limit and just let us record video as long as we needed
I didn't know this was a thing. How disappointing
I just got a free pair working with sunglass hut and i love them
Cool audio love the spacial audio as my headphones use it and me stereo has atmos it really is the best surround sound
love seth tech channel
🙏🏻
Really good review
I love mine. The only complaint is that the battery is not powerful and doesn't last more than 2 hours. The other things are amazing, answer my calls without hands, ready my msgs and take pictures with my voice is awesome. I have to buy some nose grips because I have an oily face, yes I have a prescription, progressive and transition... AWESOME ❤❤❤❤
I play in a band and am really looking forward to try and stream a whole concert! That'd be fun!
30 second vid clips and then you have to start the vid again. If the concert is only about 20 minutes long and you restart the vid every thirty seconds x 40, good luck.
@@billienomates1606 I thought you could just stream like via facebook or insta, a live streaming?
@@billienomates1606others on here are saying it's 60s
@@billienomates1606streaming is different
@@billienomates1606 wrong. You can stream 30 mins at a time. 60 second is normal video length
I enjoyed your review. I just purchased a pair last night so I'm not super familiar with them. However you do seem more pleased about your glasses than I do. One topic that you didn't touch on very much was the live streaming. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I can't find it anywhere but I see you have to be connected through Wi-Fi to live stream. Well I like to do 5K walk/runs and I wanted to live stream them. Kind of hard to connect to a Wi-Fi if you're out and about on a run course. I can't find a way around this. I even tried to connect my phone's hotspot and it couldn't do that so I tried to connect my hotspot And my Wi-Fi and the app told me I had to shut off my hotspot. If you know a way around this please reply back to this. I really want to keep these glasses but as I see it right now they won't function the way that I want them to. Thank you in advance
I ordered transitions but they have too much glare. So I'm considering ordering a second pair being sunglasses only. Are they better?
I compared them with standard wayfarers today and I was shocked how close they were to the standard frame.
Out in public the bleed is almost non existent. Inside in a quiet environment put the volume at 25% and only you can hear it loud and clear. Outside go about 50-75%. If you're in a VERY noisy environment you're not going to hear that well. My opinion is they should have integrated bone conduction as well as speakers that lets you switch between modes.
I got these to take pov videos of my son ! The audio is fine I like them because in ear headphones always tend to bother me ! The meta assistant is pretty good you can pretty much ask it anything ! 1 con I wear hats and if you do it will show up in the videos !
One video that I had to watch 3 or 4 others before I got what I wanted just from yours , lots of useful info answering most of my questions, it’s a bit weird how you want ANOTHER charging cable, just how many do you need, check around your home I’m sure you will find one, yep, good video 👍👍
Good video man
I’m so sad 😢 I got mines just a few months ago and now they launched this version which is way better 🙁 I should’ve waited, but when I did my research they said there was not launch day yet or confirmation for the launch 😣 Loved this video!
Not a fan on my end of the polarized ones at night and indoors, so I picked up the Transitions version…about to open those up, but the hope is that at events and in the evening, I can still rock them to capture content!
I just bought the standard matte black frame + transition too. I think that’s the best colour and frame (I did go through the selection but they have additional price tags). However I can’t find if the clear transition lenses have anti UV on them.
Also, if the dark transition mode had polarised?
No transitions are polarized. The stock lenses suck
Just got them, amazing stuff but 16:9 and longer record times would make this unbelievably handy. Stable with nice image and video quality. Battery life could be a little better. Pretty sure next iteration will resolve at least 2 out of these 3 !
I wish you could record the last 60 seconds vs having to hit record for the next 60 seconds
Battery life but then the tech matures I’m sure they’ll get to it
That would be a privacy issue I’m sure
@@Evolvingaroundthesun outside tho what’s the difference between me recording the whole time
@@Evolvingaroundthesun oh hush with privacy. Do you tell doorcam users not to record you ?
is this ideal for pov recording? if not what’s a better choice
I have them, the video quality is actually great!
The first ones look good on you!!
Just wondering if they sync with iphone health will give heart rate and fitness stats and perhaps navigation and gps?
I really like the frames these use they really should be water resistant because or rain or sprays if they are prescription
when paired to an iphone, if it’s able to use mics for calls and metas ai, is it able to trigger siri?
You forgot to add a chapter where you start talking about video recording. It's all included in one big "Microphones" chapter. Just FYI.
Subbed up BRO!!!
Are the lens visually enhanced like Oakley prism?
Do you think these could work under a motorcycle helmet or to record when you Mountainbike or ride a bicycle?
Its seth 😂😂 i didn’t expect that at all
Can you record on your glasses and also your phone at the same time?
All I want is glass to translate onscreen Japanese so I can play Imported games
Would be sick
omg that would be great
Just wait a few more years and you will have your pick of a few. Wait a few more years and they will be a third of the new price.
@@NaNa-kj2gw naw that's still gonna cost ya what these are. AR lens is still a long ways away
I Wonder if it can be paired to the phone with bluetooth so the video could be recorded on the phone not the glasses?
Hey do these work with Apple Music??
Will voice commands take over Google or any other voice commands?
It’s funny how you went through this entire video, without mentioning the smart assistant feature of the glasses as well.
Do you have to have your phone out to use them?
Wow. These are sick. Too expensive though. Times have changed. That same exact pair of shades that have been around a long time has gone futuristic. Very cool.
Heavily disagree. I've worn glasses my whole life. Most glasses are anywhere from $200 to $500. Many are even more expensive than that and that's with no tech inside at all. Starting at $300 is actually a steal. I've never liked ray bans because I can't justify spending over $100 on sunglasses. But sunglasses that have cameras, speakers, and an AI inside? Absolutely.
@zeromech1450 Yup dude don't know what he's talking about. My current prescription Maui Jim's cost me $1000 polarized. $500 is NOTHING for what's built-in it will literally save me $500 to go smart glasses its a no-brainer.
bro i have +6 eyes, definitely feel ya ✌🏻
These could do with bone conduction for sound. Can one zoom when taking pictures
You won't be comfortable with them clamped that tightly to your face
These remind me of Android version 1+ of software. Wait for Android version 4 or 6, by which time they'll have fixed all the bugs, incorporated landscape recording, lengthened battery life, price will have come down, etc. The old saying "you can tell the pioneers by the arrows on their backs" applies.
Just bought these
Paints over LED cover 😊
Hey, what size are these ?
Wow they fit you really well.
What size are you wearing?
If your security these are very useful
Can the glasses zoom in ?
Would be cool is it had pre-record function
are they water resistant?
Charges with USB-C charging included in packaging.
I want these for driving and recording any potential road accidents as evidence. Any other alternatives than just a simple dash cam?
Just get a dash cam
Absolutely not a good option. It only works vertically, only after pushing a button, and only for 60 seconds.
Is there any reason to buy them if my main use is not for photos and videos,my main use is while driving? What are the other use case with them?
From what i hear, music, you can ask the meta AI questions, answer whatsapp calls, etc
So do the designer frames solve the problems of having concealed cameras and microphones? Those issues sunk Google Glass. Privacy / legal / creepy. None of those problems are technical or cosmetic.
How long does the video recording last per recording? Does it only let you record 30 seconds or can you got for minutes?
it’s 60 seconds per recording
You can choose from: 15 - 30 - 60 seconds per video in settings
@@cachemoneydotexe so will it record 60 seconds and after that starts a new 60 sec video that i can put together in post? i don´t get it really
Roller coasters for sure
How much for lenses without insurance is my question
I don't see an option to buy these with prescription lenses.
Question... is it possibly for it to take photos without pressing the button or voice activation, say for instance automatically take photos every 30 seconds or something?
No
So they still arent recording in 16:9 format. It’s all vertical and Instagram format videos. It’s so weird they won’t unlock it. I can’t buy them . Already have 1st ones. Not going to get second one
Other than the increase from 5 mg to 12 for the cameras there is not a lot of difference.
Whats the maximum length of a video you can record with these? More than 1 min?
60-seconds max, with the options for 15, 30, or 60 in the app
Can you use this with Whatsapp? Like for Videocalls to show the Environment
Introducing the peeping Tom shades hahahha
Subbed up
What’s the max record length? Is it still one minute at a time?
Yes, 60-seconds, vertical this time though
For the record you cannot adjust the fit of the galsses theres 2 sizes but the both kind of awkward depending on your face
Glasses on: Chris Pratt. Glasses off: Seth Fowler 😃
Can you get them for regular prescription Glasses?
Yes
My Stories model (new) has failed to show videos I’m positive that I recorded twice. I’m hesitant to buy the latest.
It works but it cuts off if you take them off and fold it bacl
I bought rayban stories, just before the meda glasses came out. I retied and brought the glasses with me to the Philippines. It didn't even last 3 months. First, the audio stopped working, shortly after the video and the still shot camera. I bought the transition lens glass. It's just glasses now. Never abused or dropped them. Not very solid state tech.
waterproof?
Damn. I wish the prescriptions ran a little higher.
They have to get a bigger selection before I could consider buying them
What about vs Bose Tenor?
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the AI features. According to Zuck, you can query meta’s Ai engine and ask it to translate a sign or what a landmark is. Anyone know if that feature works?
Waiting for at least a basic HUD similar to Apple Watch
How good are they in answering calls? Do you can use speakers in all apps? Also, is it possible for visually impaired users to order a lens with the desired ones (l mean, for example, is it possible for a farsighted person to order a lens with a minus number?), if not, is it possible for an optician to change the lens after purchase?
He answered all of these questions in the video...
Watch the video... 😂
Can we use it without iPhone
I ordered the transition prescription lenses with the g15 rayban tint. can’t wait to pick them up from lens crafters today I’ve been waiting for two weeks. Lens crafters had a 50% off sale going on, used a $50 coupon and they gave me an additional $50 off. Came to $500. I already got a $400 reimbursement from insurance even before I got the glasses lmao. That and I bought the year insurance from lens crafters so it’s $25 I believe to replace the frames and $25 for the lenses.
I don't see an option to buy these with prescription lenses.
@@prabhanshuaggarwal only I'm America I believe
@@Matanumi yes, the option is not available in canada.
50% off, $50 coupon, still $500? The math ain't mathing. LOL Luxotica is such a scam. I remember 20 years ago my roommate was a LensCrafters manager and told me their markups are so insane, and they make so much money that they don't even have an inventory system. She'd steal all her friends a new pair of sunglasses once a month, never got busted for it. The gov't needs to antitrust/break up their monopoly in the industry.
Can I just go to a random lense store and ask them to fit the lenses on them?
Can you use the meta Ray-Bans for KZhead videos?
These only have a camera and a speaker, no display
Can you do live video with it like tiktok live ect
“Hey man what’s up?” “WshhhhhhHhhHh I got those lbs shhhhhh”
