Meta Ray-Ban (1st Gen) vs. Ray-Ban (2nd Gen): I compared both smart glasses, and there's a clear winner
"Jason Hiner/ZDNET 1. You want the best-looking video from your eyewear Arguably, the biggest improvement with the newest Ray-Ban smart glasses is the ability to record in 3K video resolution. That's on par with the more expensive Meta Oakley HSTN model, and footage is noticeably sharper and more vivid when compared to the older Ray-Bans' 1080p recordings. Also: I biked with the Meta Oakley Vanguard, and they're easily the best smart glasses for athletes"
"Also: I used the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, and they offer 2 breakthroughs to take us beyond smartphones While much of the fanfare was reserved for the new Ray-Ban Display glasses, which feature a waveguide system that projects visual cues, navigation pathways, a camera viewfinder, and more, the second generation of the original Meta Ray-Bans also launched. In many ways, they succeed their predecessor with meaningful upgrades. But you'll want to note the drawbacks too."
Meta's second-generation Ray-Ban smart glasses upgrade key hardware and imaging features while preserving the original form factor. The new Ray-Bans can record 3K video, producing sharper, more vivid footage compared with the prior 1080p recordings and matching the Meta Oakley HSTN's image quality. Footage remains in a 4:3 aspect ratio, suited for short-form mobile platforms but less ideal for long-form projects. The Ray-Ban Display variant uses a waveguide system to project visual cues, navigation pathways, and a camera viewfinder. Battery endurance was a concern for power users with the original lasting two to three hours; the second generation addresses battery anxiety.
