Tech reviewer Marques Brownlee (MKBHD), known for his massively popular YouTube channel with over 18 million subscribers, recently went hands-on with Meta’s new Ray-Ban Display smart glasses — priced at $799. In his video, he shares why this is the first face-worn gadget that actually convinced him of the potential of smart glasses.

The glasses pack a surprising amount of tech into a sleek frame: an upgraded camera, five microphones, bright projected display visible only to the wearer, and new transition lenses that adapt outdoors. Paired with the innovative Neural Band wrist controller, they allow intuitive gesture control without cameras.

While Brownlee praises features like real-time captions, translation, and WhatsApp integration, he notes the limited app ecosystem, reliance on a smartphone for many functions, and the steep price point. He frames this launch as more of a promising step toward the future rather than a must-buy today.

If you follow MKBHD, you’ll know his reviews balance excitement with healthy skepticism — and this one is no different. His conclusion: these glasses showcase the future of wearable displays, even if we’re not quite there yet.
