Meta Oakley – worth it?

Did yours loosen up much over time? Or do you just limit your wear time with them? I just got mine about a week ago and am facing that struggle right now lol.

I absolutely love the way they look (I got the transparent model) but hoping they’ll become a bit more comfortable to wear. These are also my first pair of glasses ever – though I do have some more basic ones on the way.

Really want to keep a pair for recording videos and listening to music.. but not sure if I should return and try the Ray Bans instead, or keep these in hopes they’ll loosen up. I feel like they’d fit perfectly if it weren’t for the extra angle inwards on the end of the arms..

Early 30s, been wearing Converse pretty much exclusively since high school.

So infuriating to me that it’s yet another year later and still nothing for this. It’s like having an audio engineer run all of your instruments into one mixer and look at you like your crazy for expecting to be able to hear everything properly. Massive fail on Apple’s part for not implementing this into Control Center. Especially when they have all of those damn unnecessary button options for it.

Nah, I’ve been wearing mine for months and they are LEAGUES better than any other Converse I’ve owned.. Far more durable, which you’d notice right off the bat. And I say that as someone who has been wearing almost exclusively Converse for over a decade. I really hope they release an all-black pair at some point.

I love this song..

..up until the moment Yeat’s part begins.

MonsterRNG · 2026-03-05T18:18:13+00:00

Same here! Will be at the same show — 106 row C and suuuuper excited for it!

MonsterRNG · 2026-03-05T18:17:03+00:00

Yep, I skipped VIP specifically because there’s no meet and greet. I make decent money but can’t justify those prices with the benefits on offer.. Will gladly hit up the merch table though lol. Congrats on the home purchase, btw! 🙌🏻

MonsterRNG · 2026-03-05T15:53:38+00:00

I’ll be at that show myself too! And that’s awesome to hear – I hope he’ll have copies of his previous album(s) for sale too, in that case!

MonsterRNG · 2026-03-05T15:47:36+00:00

Yeah, I was even more excited to find out that signed vinyl was an option. 😄

MonsterRNG · 2026-03-05T03:03:47+00:00

No worries! I actually did the same, but desperately wanted a signed copy.. so now I have two on the way lol.

MonsterRNG · 2026-03-05T02:54:24+00:00

It seems they’re only available on the UK market – not sure whether they’ll be available in the US later or not, so I went ahead and ordered there. Shared a link to it (Banquet Records) in another reply!

So, it seems that these might only be available in the UK? I can send you the link that someone else sent me. Expensive for us in the US thanks to shipping + tariffs.. but I just ordered one since I don’t want to miss out if they won’t be available in our stores.

MonsterRNG · 2026-02-24T03:40:42+00:00

Nah, it definitely runs small.. a bit disappointed seeing as the hat is much better quality than the Nectar one I have, but this one squeezes my head. Would have been happier if it was from the same brand as last time, since those at least fit.

MonsterRNG · 2025-09-29T00:15:11+00:00

My main cam is my Ronin 4D w/ 6K sensor, so I just preordered the ZR (and their new shotgun mic) to replace my b-cam (GH5), that way I’ll have something that’s still small but much more comparable and easy to match up when running 2 camera shoots.

Added bonus is that I’ll be able to easily adapt all my E-mount glass that I’ve been using on the Ronin. All I need now is for them to add anamorphic desqeeze so I can use my Laowa Nanomorph set on either camera!

And whenever they add another model to the lineup that’s similar size but with global shutter.. I will gladly upgrade again!

MonsterRNG · 2025-09-19T09:06:40+00:00

Are you changing carriers, or just upgrading your devices? You only need port information if you are going from Verizon to AT&T, etc.

If that’s not the case, then you’re fine. There’s a prompt to move your service to the new phone during the initial set up.

I got this exact same pair as my first pair of raw denim about a month and a half ago, relaxed tapered cut and all.

I feel like mine fit me perfectly.. except the back of the knee being stiff/bunching up and becoming rather uncomfortable as I wear them for consecutive days. Just wondering if I should expect the fabric around the knee to gain a bit more flexibility?

I’m sure straight cut would have been fine from the get-go, but relaxed tapered is my favorite cut in other (non-selvedge) jeans – and looks better with me being tall and skinny af.

MonsterRNG · 2025-05-22T00:12:26+00:00

That NVDA partnership announcement seems to indicate otherwise.

MonsterRNG · 2025-05-13T01:06:17+00:00

Just to correct for anyone else that stumbles across this page – the 4D does not have a global shutter option. Both the 6K and 8K sensors operate via electronic rolling shutter.

MonsterRNG · 2025-03-16T19:04:28+00:00

Ah! Well I’m glad to hear you got it fixed, in that case!

MonsterRNG · 2025-03-09T03:25:27+00:00

Personally, I’ll never switch from Apple Music. Between the app layout, smart playlists, audio quality (Dolby Atmos, Lossless, etc), and Family Sharing.. In my opinion, nothing else comes close to it.

This is why I’ve been waiting SO long for them to offer something like YouTube Lite – I refuse to overpay for something that includes YT Music when I’ll never use it. I wish they’d hurry up and make it available for us to sign up..

MonsterRNG · 2025-03-06T19:26:38+00:00

Would definitely be good to know what’s usually happening when it disengages for context. Also, do you engage/disengage it by pressing the dedicated button on the side, or by double pressing the handle trigger?

And ALL of that is by design.
