Meta's new Ray-Bans, launched in October 2023, have quickly sold two million pairs. As a tech reporter and avid gadget user, the author shares their experience after five months of using these smart glasses, emphasizing the unexpectedly high quality of audio from the built-in microphones and speakers. These smart glasses not only provide a user-friendly experience, particularly for sending audio messages but also excel in sound quality, comparable to popular open-ear headphones. This combination of features presents a compelling argument for their popularity.
Surprisingly, my top picks are not what I initially thought they would be. The audio is equipped with five microphones and two custom-built open-ear speakers that are surprisingly performant.
EssilorLuxottica, the glasses producer, reported in February that two million pairs of the Meta Ray-Bans have been sold since their October 2023 launch.
I never expected my favorite feature to be the audio. The smartglasses are equipped with five microphones and two custom-built open-ear speakers that are surprisingly performant.
Instead, the glasses pick up my voice naturally, with no issues. In fact, they're better than some earbuds that I have tested.
