Testing the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses for the past week, after two years of wearing the original Ray-Ban Metas on and off, has made it immediately clear that Meta significantly improved these glasses in key ways — but left the core experience (and some of my old complaints) unchanged.
Meta handed out the Gen 2s like candy at Connect 2025, making me the unexpected owner of the Shiny Cosmic Blue Wayfarer Gen 2 frames with Transitions lenses.
