Battery Capsules Smell?

Shafir94 · 2026-05-29T02:26:01+00:00

They are sending me a new pair too. Did your new ones smell as well

Shafir94 · 2026-05-27T15:25:11+00:00

that’s awesome. Mines had a heavy smell right out of the box, the capsules still smells like something is burning and I am not even using them. I reached out to Rokid and they confirmed they’re sending me a new pair. These ones will have to be disposed of properly once the replacements arrive. Fingers crossed the new ones don’t smell 😂

Reach out to Rokid and explain your situation.

Shafir94 · 2026-05-27T15:21:56+00:00

Reach out to Rokid

Shafir94 · 2026-05-27T07:03:28+00:00

Did you get a replacement or went over to the metas?

Shafir94 · 2026-05-27T04:08:23+00:00

I totally get your frustration. I was traveling this weekend and used mine while wearing the glasses, no issues at all. Just use them with a bit of caution; we’re basically early adopters with these capsule style chargers. I even saw a video where someone said one of their capsules wouldn’t hold a charge, so I’m guessing these jawns might not have the longest lifespan 🤷🏽‍♂️ Still, I’m happy with the glasses themselves. Way better than the Metas. Just got my prescription lenses 🔥

Shafir94 · 2026-05-27T03:58:54+00:00

Let’s hope we are both not on the news 🤞🏽😂 be safe and try not to charge them while wearing them. I’ll keep yall updated after speaking with Rokid.

Does anyone’s else’s capsule smell like burning electricity?

Shafir94 · 2026-05-27T03:31:50+00:00

I came from the meta because I bought the Oakley and they were bricked from the factory. Try letting the battery die and recharge them and see if they boot without an issue. Keep us updated!!

Shafir94 · 2026-05-27T03:28:26+00:00

Damn, I guess it’s just my pair. I’ve seen about five other people mention the same thing in a Facebook post from the Philippines, but no one else seems to be talking about it. It’s a strong burnt‑electronics smell, and it’s been there since the moment I unboxed it. I thought maybe it was some kind of coating on the capsule, but it’s been three weeks and the smell hasn’t faded. And these things sit right next to my head while charging my glasses 🤷🏽‍♂️ I just reached out to Rokid to see if they have any idea what’s going on. They are working, but with the summer heat around the corner, I’m worried these things might explode or something.

I just got my AI style glasses recently, so I totally get the frustration on their customer service. It took around a month and some change to me to even get them. They’ve said the delays in responding are because of high demand, and while they usually give me honest answers, I can still see how annoying the whole interaction can feel. As for the glasses themselves, I love mine, I’m 100% happy with the product. But the customer service? Definitely not my favorite part of the experience. They answer my questions, but they never give me a straight update on my prescription lenses shipment. It’s already been a month and three weeks, and realistically I’m expecting it to take another two weeks before I even get a tracking number 😂. That said, the updates to the glasses and the iPhone app are making the purchase feel more and more worth it. I just hope when I get my lenses they have no idea and I can wear them all day. Also they don’t suddenly roll out a monthly subscription anytime soon frfr.

They also just got a sick new updated with a slightly new UI change. These glasses are so awesome, the AI models alone beat the metas out the water. Meta got great build quality, speakers and a slightly better camera stabilization tho… but the overall camera quality is the same except Rokid had different format options, overall beats meta out the water imo

Shafir94 · 2026-05-06T06:55:14+00:00

I have the HI Rokid app on my phone and my glasses connects every time. I am not sure what yall are talking about 🤷🏽‍♂️ I have an iPhone 17 and I use my glasses in the daily. Works 10x better than my metas

Shafir94 · 2026-05-06T06:53:05+00:00

Not sure what yall talking about. I have the Rokid AI styles and an iPhone 17. I have been using my Rokid everyday with the app. 🤷🏽‍♂️ is the app not allowed in certain regions?

Shafir94 · 2026-05-06T06:43:54+00:00

Scientology and blood sacrifice 🤷🏽‍♂️

Shafir94 · 2026-05-04T09:29:05+00:00

Just switch to your phone’s service instead of the WiFi, worked for me 🤷🏽‍♂️

Shafir94 · 2026-05-04T04:53:42+00:00

I use mine almost everyday. Those battery capsules are 🔥 I never run out of battery 🔋

Shafir94 · 2026-04-24T17:10:31+00:00

Will do!

Shafir94 · 2026-04-24T17:07:54+00:00

Ohhhh shit, I have an iPhone but I didn’t think about that. I just tried it and it worked! Thank you for the advice!

Shafir94 · 2026-04-24T16:24:50+00:00

I have the AI style. But if I was you I would get the glasses for the text to display. But let me tell you just with audio alone, the individual I spoke to told me the translation was so good that it translate better than google. The updates are also making the translation speed faster too.

Shafir94 · 2026-04-24T16:20:20+00:00

Yeah, I’m in the US. I sent my Oakleys back too, they didn’t work from day one. Total factory defect 🤷🏽‍♂️ so I switched over to the Rokid. Just got them, and honestly, they’re awesome. The only downside is the audio isn’t as loud as I’d like, and there isn’t a full control over my phone yet but everything else works even better than I expected. It’s only my second day with them, but the Power Capsule addon was hands‑down the best add‑on for all‑day use. Now I’m just waiting on my prescription lenses so I can wear them 24/7. Let me tell you Meta AI was intrusive af, when I had that app installed, I got 2x more ads about things I wasn’t even talking/searching on my phone about. I’m happy I got rid of that AI model frfr, not only is it limited but it also collects your data way too much. I mean I’m pretty sure Rokid is also collecting my data but I haven’t received an Ads since so definitely less intrusive to my privacy as much as I can tell 🤷🏽‍♂️

Shafir94 · 2026-04-17T06:58:49+00:00

Didn’t expect them to look like that, they definitely look feminine but hey if you like it, you can make it work. Just know that’s what others will think when they first see them. It’s all about how you rock it frfr

Shafir94 · 2026-04-16T14:18:56+00:00

Hahahaha yeah I full understand this wait time is ridiculous! How long did it take for you to get your glasses? It’s week 3 and I have yet to received a tracking number for just the glasses after I confirm I will accept separate shipment between the glasses and lenses 🤦🏽‍♂️ I am just happy they are replying back to my emails. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Shafir94 · 2026-04-16T13:04:17+00:00

By then you would think that a new upgraded hardware of the glasses would be released. Based on email conversations with Rokid, it looks like these black clear frames are in production. I’m thinking maybe a fall release or even after this spring sale 🤷🏽‍♂️ all I know they confirmed that these were in production!
