I compared both generations of Meta Ray-Ban glasses, and here's my buying advice for 2025
How much does a difference of two years make? It depends on how you look at the latest Meta Ray-Bans.
While I wouldn't say that the original Ray-Ban smart glasses were significantly underwhelming in endurance, content creators and power users were able to run through the battery within two to three hours. Tools like Conversation Focus, which amplify the speaker in front of you, and Live AI, a multimodal feature that can keep track and interact with items, tasks, and other environmental objects, are on the future update list. It's still a reasonable price, considering the quality-of-life changes that come with it, but if you're shopping on a budget, it may make more financial sense for you to invest in the older model, which Meta still sells on its website.
