1. Capturing the moment without missing it
The number one reason to invest in these! We’ve all been there: fumbling to open the camera app, holding up our phones, and trying to watch your kid's school performance through your phone recording. The pang of wanting to just be present in the moment but also want it captured for later. With Ray-Ban's Meta glasses, we just say “Hey Meta, take a video,” and it records what we're seeing with a super high quality HD camera — no hands, no fuss.
Whether it’s a graduation walk, first steps, sports game or a magical Disneyland moment, we can actually be present while still getting the memory. Corrine recently wore her Meta glasses on Harry's graduation and Ani's volleyball game, and said these were an absolute GAME-CHANGER!
2. Listening to music or podcasts (on the DL)
This is definitely one of our favorite features: these glasses have built-in open-ear audio, so we can listen to our favorite podcast or playlist without wearing earbuds. No one else hears a thing, but we can still hear if someone needs our attention!
Corrine has listened to podcasts while doing dishing, getting her nails done and even at the grocery store, and she can catch every time someone needs to talk to her. No fuss with removing an earbud and asking someone to repeat – you stay connected but still totally aware.
3. Taking phone calls — completely hands-free
We’ve taken phone calls with these glasses and people are shocked when we tell them we're talking through our sunglasses. Neil says the sound quality is crystal clear as the person on the other line!
4. Meta AI – aka a personal assistant in your ear
This one blew our minds. If you’re traveling (or even just reading a product label or sign in another language), the glasses can translate the language right in front of you. This would be a dream for international family trips or travel with kids! You can also ask any question, such as “How do I care for this plant?” or simply analyzing your surroundings, and get immediate, context-rich answers.
5. Discreet design
Unlike some other tech gadgets that scream “I’m from the future,” these look exactly like normal, stylish Ray-Bans which we love! We’ve worn them everywhere — and no one bats an eye.
They come in different colors and styles, and they don’t feel bulky or awkward. Corrine is wearing Ray-Ban Meta “Headliner” glasses in “warm stone” the photos in this post.
How do Meta glasses work?
Ray-Ban Meta glasses connect to your phone via Bluetooth and respond to “Hey Meta” voice commands to take photos, videos, make calls, or play audio through built-in speakers. They have cameras that capture what you're seeing and open-ear audio that only you can hear, while looking like regular Ray-Ban sunglasses. The glasses sync with the Meta View app on your phone to manage content and settings, and charge in their included case. They last four hours with moderate use, and the included charging case provides an additional 32 hours!
Which Meta glasses should I buy?
There are two styles on sale right now! The Headliner frames are a little bit more feminine and are the glasses Corrine owns. The Wayfarer style is more masculine and would definitely be the pair we'd recommend to gift for Father's Day.
Are Ray-Ban Meta glasses waterproof?
No, these are not completely waterproof, but the ARE water resistant. They'll be totally fine if you get caught in a light rain, get sweaty from a workout or an accidental splash, but they are not meant to be submerged in water or worn while showering/swimming.
Are Meta glasses worth it?
In our opinion, 100%. You can't put a price on being able to be fully present in the moment, while also having life's big events captured in clear, HD video! Corrine was hesitant to get these, but once she tried on her friend's and was able to experience a handful of features, she ordered them right away.

5 stars from us!
If you’re a busy person looking for a little extra magic in your everyday routine, we can’t recommend these enough. Whether it’s capturing memories, staying connected, or just making life a bit smoother, these glasses are 100% worth the hype.
They also make the best gift for any occasions, or honestly…yourself! Let the multitasking begin — in style.
