I guess your opinion regarding “great sound” is yours because while it sounds 
very clear for audio books and phone calls, I would certainly not call it great 
sound when compared to something like a set of wired Earpods which cost less 
than 10% of what the glasses are and certainly also not compared to the Airpods 
4 (the only ones I have ever had and can compare them to). After all, they are 
tiny speakers which sit behind your ears so from a bit of an audio file 
perspective, it’s definitely lacking base, separation and sound stage and it 
would not my go-to device for music listening.

You can use them with one of your music apps, I listen to I Hart radio, and 
Pandora, with great sound, and you can adjust volume and pause from your right 
glasses arm.

Hello,

Do you know if the  Meta glasses can be used as a simple non-smart bluetooth 
headset (mic & speakers) for an iphone?  For example, can I use them as I use 
my Aftershoks headphones, pair them to the phone and not use the Meta 
functions?  I realize that this would likely mean that the camera on the 
glasses would not be available to the iphone and 3rd party app if I can use the 
glasses this way. This would allow me to use the glasses as non-smart glasses 
with apps like Seeing AI, Maps, etc until such time as Meta opens up the 
interface to the camera to 3rd party apps.

I am very interested in the hands-free aspect of the Meta glasses and 
functions. If I can also use them with the many other useful apps on my iphone, 
that would be great.

Hi Rick,
Yes, I am thinking about getting them now. Hoping to go to Best Buy later today 
to check them out. Tried to target, but they didn’t have any that could be 
actually tried on. And there are two sizes. So I’d kind of like to know which 
size I should get And the only way I know to do that is to try them on. Wish me 
luck. Is that all you use them for? Just reading packages a few times a day? 
Have you tried them with Be My Eyes?

Hi Mary. The difference in price is because of the lenses. I have the shiny 
black frames with the gradient grey lenses. I use the a few times a day for 
reading product packages and they do quite well. If you are thinking of getting 
a pair now is the time as the prices are lower than ever.

Hi Rick. Which glasses do you have? There’s one that’s on sale on Amazon for 
$239. I can’t figure out why it’s even more on sale than the ones for 263. I 
guess because it’s retail price is lower, but I can’t figure out the difference 
between any of them. What do you really use yours for? I’m trying to decide if 
I will actually use them once I get them. Sounds interesting, but yet another 
technical device? Always putting them on and taking them off. Not sure.  Mary

Richard, I get more than 4 hours on mine but I don’t take many pictures. 4 
hours is what you get if you use the glasses several times a day with video 
having the most draw on the battery. The case charges up in afbout an hour. A 
fully charged case is supposed to fully charge the glasses about 8 times. This 
has pretty much been my experience.

Their web site says:
STAY POWERED ALL DAY. The redesigned smart glasses charging case offers a sleek 
silhouette on the outside and a powerhouse charging station on the inside. A 
single charge can provide up to 36 hours of use, so wherever you go, you can 
feel confident knowing your Ray-ban Meta glasses are up for the challenge. The 
next generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses is here. Are you ready?

This is a phrasing that it seems every device with a charging case uses.
I first thought it meant a single charge gave the device X hours of use.
IN fact, it means the case can give the device 36 hours o use on one charge.
Apparently, it takes an hour to get the case charged.
How long with the glasses in the case does it take to charge the glasses fully?
And, one person says they will work for about 4 hours of use when charged.
Anyone have a different experience?

Are you saying it takes about 24 hours for the case to fully charge?

About 4 hours for the glasses, and I believe about 24 hours for the case.

I have not really followed the discussion of the Ray Ban smart glasses.

Heads up folks,

Call your insurance company and see if your vision policy will pay for them. If 
so they will direct you to purchase them from some place like Lens  Crafters. 
They will set up your glasses also.
