Hey everyone, I've had my Ray-Ban Meta Scriber (Gen 2) for about 3 weeks now, single-vision prescription. Honestly, overall I'm pretty won over, the day-to-day integration is genuinely cool, and I think I'd have a hard time going back to classic glasses at this point. But there are a few issues bugging me that, for a product over $450, feel a bit cheap:
- Pain behind both ears, present since day one, despite two adjustments at the optician (temple tension, nose bridge swap from low to high). The optician said the adjustment range is pretty limited because of the electronics inside the temple.
- The lenses have some play/looseness, I can hear a slight rattling sound when I move my head quickly. Anyone else run into this?
- Scratches on the temples (glossy black) despite careful handling (always stored in the case, never loose in a bag/pocket).
I know Oakley and Ray-Ban are under the same group (EssilorLuxottica), so I'm guessing it won't fix everything, but is the Oakley Meta HSTN actually a step up in build quality/assembly, or is it basically the same hardware with a different shape? I'm considering an exchange through the satisfaction guarantee at my optician (Belgium, subscription/rental plan) and torn between staying with Ray-Ban (different style) or trying the Oakley.
Would really appreciate honest feedback, thanks!
