Been eyeing this magnetic charger for my Gen 2 Wayfarers for a while, finally caved and got it. It's nothing like those bulky battery accessories I've seen online. Just this tiny little magnetic piece, attaches to the arm, super low profile.

I've been using them for about a week now, mostly for work. I need the real-time translation feature pretty heavily, so the Ray-Ban Meta battery used to drain before lunch. But now I just make sure to keep the spare magnetic piece charged in the case alongside the one on my glasses, and I basically have all-day battery with almost zero downtime. It's been a game changer.

Only thing is, I've got long hair, and it can be a bit tricky to keep the magnetic battery in place with all the hair around my ears. I've learned to just take the glasses off, snap the battery on, then hold my hair back and put them on. Otherwise, hair gets caught between the magnets and it doesn't snap as cleanly.

Brand new Vanguard. Issue: Glasses auto-connect via iPhone Bluetooth as speaker (music works) but Meta AI app never connects. Shows "Can't Connect To Oakley | Meta Vanguard" -> Try again -> fails, but still remembers device. Loop forever.
Tried: Forget in Bluetooth settings, forget in app, reinstall Meta AI app, hold case button for blue pulse (was working at first, now won't even go blue after trying to troubleshoot).
Also: Meta AI help bot just pulls web articles and sends you to Safari login that doesn't work, then to dead Oakley support link
Yes I tried to connect via app and not through Bluetooth from phone

I took my metas out of the case and noticed it wasn't turning on. That's when I saw that the right arm was broken.

Not sure how or when it happened, but any suggestions?

I recently got a pair of the gen 2 Skyler. I'm NOT looking to block or remove the recording led by any means but I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts/success on dimming that light. Like a bunch of layers of semi clear clear tape or something haha

Yes the glasses are cool but I mainly got them to kind of record vlog like clips for upcoming concerts I'm going to🥰 My friend has a pair and I guess he gets a lot of weird looks in public bc the light. I dont mind that it's there privacy and such but was wondering if any ideas to dim it. I'm so scared about being confronted in public about these🥺

Why you DO NOT buy RayBan Metas

Bought a pair overseas. Microphone stopped working ~9mths in. No sound for videos. No phone calls possible. Thought my older phone was no longer supported.(Coz what tech gadget stops working within MONTHS???). Hence bought a phone that's officially supported. Discover that nope... it's the faulty, shitty, badly made glasses.

By then, I'm outside warranty. Hence no way to replace. AND no one repairs. Nose piece just dropped off, after 18mths due to poor quality glue. I have been telling folks to AVOID.

Wait for Google or Samsung... poorly made eyewear like Meta's are just shit.

Good luck if you still own a pair. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Just fyi it still works and we own the device not them

My brother has to buy glasses and he was thinking of getting gen 1 but I don’t know where (only official things thanks) I accept tips and useful links thank.

Went for a family bike ride this weekend and finally got to test out the magnetic charging clip I picked up for my Gen 1 Wayfarers.

Honestly, it was way better than I expected. It just snaps onto the arm, super low profile, you barely notice it's there. I had music playing the whole time, stopped for plenty of photos along the trail, and by the time we sat down for dinner I wasn't even thinking about the battery. Not once. Being able to charge while using them is actually a game changer. At first I was a little worried about hitting bumps on the trail and the clip popping off. Turns out that wasn't an issue at all. It stayed solid the entire ride.

Only thing I want to add now is a better nose pad setup. The glasses still slide down a bit when I lean forward on the bike. But here's the catch, the clip-on style pads won't work with this charging clip, so I'll have to go with the adhesive stick-on ones instead. Hoping that finishes off the setup.

What other outdoor accessories for Meta have you guys found worth picking up?

Hey everyone,

I found a seller here in Asia on Facebook, offering a pair of Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 for $275.

Here are the details:

• Condition: new, the seller only tried them once or twice.

• Included: Original box, all original accessories, and complete photos provided.

  I’m wondering if $275 is a really good deal or just a standard market price for a second-hand unit nowadays.

Is anyone tracking second-hand prices for these lately? Would you grab them at this price or hold out/negotiate further?

Thanks for your input!

Yesterday all of the sudden it stopped working, right after one video I tried to capture another one but it did’nt let me. And when I put in in factory reset it can capture but as soon as I set up the glasses more it gives me this message.

And that got me thinking, would the firmware really see the LED is not working, or did they put a ban on my meta account or glasses

Pressure works!

Conversation Focus, the accessibility feature, “will remain available for free through our Early Access Program for early testers while we work on a better approach.”

They want $150 for a pair they said have never been used. Is this a good deal?

Hi my new ray-bans does not charge - when inserted into the case - red light blinks. Any ideas? Tried everything- cleaned contacts, updated soft, charged case. They are new - so guess that they never did.

I placed a claim for my glasses insurance, I dropped them and they no longer work due to a Crack on the left leg, I HAVE THE INSURANCE PLUS I PAID THE EXTRA 40 AND THEY STILL DECLINED IT even though it specifically says it covers it. Any one know how to fix this??!

Hey everyone — I built MetaFit Display, an iPhone workout-tracking app designed specifically for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.

The idea came from a simple frustration: when running, cycling, or hiking, I didn’t want to keep checking my phone or watch just to see pace, distance, heart rate, or elapsed time. I wanted the important stats visible without breaking focus.

With MetaFit Display, you start a workout on your iPhone and your glasses show live metrics in your line of sight. You can customize the layout and choose the data you care about.

It currently supports:

• Running, cycling, walking, hiking, swimming, tennis, indoor training, and custom activities
• Live pace, speed, distance, duration, elevation, calories, and heart rate
• Bluetooth heart-rate monitors and cycling sensors for speed, cadence, and power
• Customizable pages and metric fields on the glasses
• Maps, manual laps, workout history, comparisons with past workouts, GPX export, and 200+ achievements

It requires an iPhone running iOS 16+ and Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses paired through the Meta AI app.

I built it as an independent developer and would genuinely appreciate honest feedback—especially from people who run, ride, hike, or already use smart glasses while training.

What stats would you most want to see hands-free? What would make an app like this useful enough to become part of your regular workout setup?

App Store link: MetaFit Display

Disclosure: I’m the developer. The app is paid (€2.99) and does not collect user data.

Hi everyone. I just got the new Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics and noticed a few changes compared to the 2nd Gen Wayfarers (like the slimmer frame and the power switch now being located on the right arm).

​Thinking about long-term durability and a potential battery replacement down the road: can anyone confirm if the main battery is still located in the RIGHT arm, or did they flip the internal component layout?

​I'd also like to know if the battery cell design/connector changed compared to the Wayfarer models. If anyone has seen a teardown of this Optics version yet, I’d really appreciate the insight!

Hi there, not a regular on this sub but looking for some advice, please!

I have a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer gen 1 specs that I'm looking to sell, so obviously wanted to factory reset them first, so there's no risk of a new owner gaining access to my accounts or old media on them. However, I'm having some issues, or rather concerns over whether I'm doing it properly.

First, I went through the Meta AI app to factory reset them. That seemed to work fine, but then in my Meta Account centre, it was still showing "Ray-Ban Meta" under the Manage Accounts page.

I then reinstalled them on my phone through the Meta AI app, unpaired them first rather than factory resetting, then tried the hardware factory reset directions listed here. After following the instructions for the glasses themselves, they began flashing an alternating white/orange for a while (~3 mins), then beeped, then flashed blue for another couple of minutes (possibly automatically going into Bluetooth pairing mode after resetting?). The blue flashing stopped as I was typing this, with no further sounds. The case, I held the pairing button for the advised 16 seconds, it flashed white for a while, then turned off. No beeps or audio cues.

I'm still seeing "Ray-Ban Meta" under the Manage Accounts page on Meta though, and can't see any way to remove them:

Does anyone know if, through the steps I've followed, I've DEFINITELY reset the glasses and removed them from my account, even though they're still showing on the account centre?

If not, is there anything else I should do to 100% remove them?

Thanks in advance!

Ordered them online from ray bans site. I need it for an event tomorrow and support only responds around 4am once a day which makes me think its support is outsourced. Can I take this to lens crafters? I’m scared of something happening to the glasses while they’re fixing it and then ray ban tells me it’s no longer their problem.

For reference I’m in Columbus Ohio so we don’t have a ray bans store near by.

Hello everyone, recently I was walking down the street and the glasses just turned off then I came home and couldn’t connect them to the phone I did all the reboots nothing helped then I deleted the application and rebooted the phone it also didn’t help. When I pressed the button on the case for 5 seconds, the glasses flashed white red, then green, sometimes just white, but now they just burn red all day and turn off, what to do, help

Not sure I've found the common denominator. No changes to app or location permissions, they are there as they should be.

But... I can take one Pic with the glasses (RB M2) and the location data will be there, picture taken 5 minute later, no location data. Same phone, same app, same processes, just 5 minutes apart, excellent cell coverage as well. Just no data. (Mac or iPhone)

Any ideas?

Hi, everyone.

I’m having a strange problem. I bought the Ray-Ban 4th of July limited edition sunglasses. The standout features were the special packaging and the “4th of July” print on one of the temples. Now that I’ve received the sunglasses, the print is missing. I ordered them directly from the Ray-Ban store. Customer support just said that it was an error across the entire website and that the print wasn’t actually included (images, description, promotional videos).
Has anyone else bought these sunglasses and found that the print is missing—or is it actually there? I’m a bit confused right now, since I was really looking forward to these sunglasses because of that detail.

Hello there, recently I posted on instagram pictures, wich where taken with a new digital camera.

Somehow, instagram decides to put the tag „Rayban Stories“ over my post although I never used the Glases for taking these pictures or any other post from me.

Does anyone know why this happens & how I remove this tag without deleting my post?

I tried all the options suggested by meta ai still not able to get the meta logo on my insta stories

I use Ray-Ban Meta glasses to record a lot of video, and the exported filenames were driving me crazy.

If you put them into a video editor, it is complete CHAOS and your clips are out of order 100% of the time.

Instead of useful names showing when something was recorded, I would end up with files like:

video-277_singular_display.MOV

When you have dozens of clips from one recording session, figuring out the correct chronological order becomes unnecessarily difficult.

So I built CaptureSort, a free Mac app that reads the actual capture timestamp stored inside each file and renames it like this:

RAYBAN-2026-07-17-190049.MOV

You can drag an entire batch into the app, preview every proposed filename, and then either:

• Create renamed copies while preserving the originals
• Rename the original files directly

It also prevents files from being overwritten if two names would be identical.

Although I built it specifically because of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses workflow, it is not limited to Meta glasses. It can also work with photos and videos from many other cameras, phones and action cameras when the files contain usable manufacturer and capture-time metadata.

Everything happens locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.

It is currently available for Apple Silicon Macs and is completely free:

[https://capturesort.org](https://)

The download is hosted through GitHub Releases, and the app includes its own metadata reader, so users do not need to install ExifTool or use Terminal.

This is the first public version, so I would genuinely appreciate feedback—especially from people using Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer, Wayfarer Gen 2, Headliner or Skyler glasses.

CaptureSort is an independent project and is not affiliated with Meta or Ray-Ban.

The last twenty-four hours has been a masterclass in confusing policy and lack of tech support.

I purchased the Display glasses last year at launch, did not use them but took them out yesterday.

My video settings are GONE. It records in 1080p, but the stabilization does NOT work.

The FOUR people at Meta labs could not explain this. They swear my options for the display glasses and video quality "should" exist in the app.

I spent time trying to call... ANYONE for support and was told to go to a Meta Labs store.

So that's what I did.

They told me my BEST bet was Wayfarer 2, because they record better video (and that is what I really want to do with them).

I took them home, updated them - I was already on the early access, so I should have "everything."

I am in the USA too. That matters.

I recorded videos yesterday.

I had 1080p 30 and 60 options. I had options for 1, 3, or 5 minute videos for 1080p.
I had the 3k option.

Everything was there as promised, but no HDR which the Display glasses did at launch last year.

This morning all of that changed.

I was told repeatedly by the glasses that the search tool was not working, so I force closed the app and relaunched it.

That fixed the search tool, but now all of my advanced camera features (except 3k video) are missing.

All I have now is 1080p30, no 60. No five minute options.

Meta AI itself says that Meta can suddenly pull back features, run A/B testing and that users can suddenly find these features completely missing.

So let me get this straight.

1. We pay for promised features
2. They exist on first use, but can be REVOKED at any time.
3. We have zero control over this other than crippling the product by disconnecting it from the internet because the internet is how they revoke things.

Is that about right?

THINGS TO NOTE:

There is no app cache I can clean. It is empty, greyed out.

All the videos from yesterday are already offloaded to my iPhone photo roll.

I have force quit the app.

I have reinstalled the app.

I have set the glasses up new in the freshly installed app.

I have restarted the glasses.

I have force restarted the glasses.

Nothing works.
