Ray-Ban Stories review: What a spectacle

The Ray-Ban Stories can play music and take photos and video, but still show that smart glasses have a long way to go â not to mention the privacy concerns.

If you are planning on purchasing a set of smart glasses with a camera like the Ray-Ban Stories or Snap Spectacles, I would encourage you to think about how you use them. More than one person did not realize that the glasses I was wearing had cameras...

Ray-Ban Stories review

Are Ray-Ban Stories the ultimate wearable camera? We take these Facebook-developed sunglasses out for a spin

Built-in 5MP cameras ; Stylish sunglass design ; Wide choice of frame and color options ; Available with prescription lenses

More expensive than regular sunglasses ; Privacy issues may worry some

The Ray-Ban Stories are hard to fault. They offer capable, if basic, image and video capture capabilities as well as built-in audio that’ll have you humming a happy tune as you walk the streets around your home. They also look great, thanks to the...

Facebook's Ray-Ban Stories Make Both Ray-Bans and Spying Less Cool

Facebook's new smart glasses allow you to capture the world around you while simultaneously looking like a creep.

Look exactly like Ray-Bans; good call quality; buttons are discrete and intuitive

Basically a data mining tool for Facebook; in-app editing is rudimentary; could accidentally land you on a watch list

Ray-Ban Stories Review: Get These Off My Face

The Ray-Ban Stories, or “Facebook Glasses,” as many people will come to know them, are an interesting product: a pair of glasses that can play audio, take pictures, and shoot videos. It sounds cool in theory, but they're of questionable usefulness, and...

Versatile use ; Good audio

Terrible battery life ; Cameras aren’t great ; Tight fit ; Audio isn’t discreet at all ; The case is huge and bulky ; Facebook requirement

Ray-Ban Stories Review

Built with Meta, the Ray-Ban Stories are smartglasses that let you take photos, record video and listen to music hands-free.

Look and feel like normal Ray-Ban glasses ; Easy to use ; Good charging case

Takes time to get good quality images and video ; Not water resistant ; Hats and hair can get in the way of cameras

The Ray-Ban Stories are camera-toting smartglasses that really do look like a lovely pair of shades and are capable of capturing your adventures in a more memorable way. Ultimately though, they don’t have the hardware to deliver the standout...

Ray-Ban Stories review

The Ray-Ban Stories combine audio and video into a single pair of stylish sunglasses, but they're not for everybody.

Stylish Ray-Ban design ; Solid camera performance ; Handy features

Poor low-light performance ; Audio lacks bass ; Tiny recording LED ; Expensive

Ray-Ban Stories won't replace your camera or headphones, but they're a great first step into the world of smart glasses; combining audio and camera tech into a single pair of stylish frames. They're expensive and not for everyone, but the convenience...
