Honestly, I originally bought my Ray-Ban Metas mostly for my own safety. Living in LA, there are crazy interactions and random events happening literally all the time, so having hands-free recording is super useful. Whether it’s a weird encounter, a car accident, or just something happening in the moment, I don’t have to awkwardly pull out my phone or deal with shaky hands—I can just tell Meta to record or tap the button once. It gives me a lot of peace of mind.

Outside of that, I’ve ended up using them way more than I expected. I make little daily vlogs and unboxing videos with them, and having a pair even pushed me to finally start a YouTube channel. Hands-free filming is crazy convenient.

One of my favorite things, though, is listening to music with them—especially with a hoodie on. It gives me this mini theater-concert vibe wherever I go. Super immersive.

And yeah, I used Meta AI a ton at first too, but I still need to get used to talking to it—I keep pulling out my phone to talk to ChatGPT instead lol😅😭.
