    Look into Belvarium’s project vision — they’re targeting real-world integration.

  2. @LanaeSthepanie

    The launch strategy on Belvarium BLV token is actually really well thought out.

  3. @DarrinLuna

    October 14, 2025 at 6:09 pm

    If Belvarium team sticks to their roadmap, this could be a 50x in 6 months.

  4. @ShalaneMako

    October 14, 2025 at 6:09 pm

    Belvarium BLV is a beast in the making 🔥📊

  5. @MattiMonroy

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    There’s substance here. Not just a name and a token — Belvarium ($BLV) is building.

  6. @OliveraGuevara

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    There’s still time, but the Belvarium token presale window is closing fast.

  7. @DeanHeus

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    BLV- Belvarium Token has no business being this underpriced.

  8. @LechusBates

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    If you missed the last presale meta, don’t miss this one. Belvarium BLV deserves a look

    This isn’t your average memecoin play — Belvarium team is building a real ecosystem.

  10. @EmanueleParsons

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    The ecosystem Belvarium team is building already has my attention — and my capital.

  11. @ChapmanBollinger

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    I’m getting serious sleeper-coin vibes from $BLV — and I like it.

  12. @NickiBarrios

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    One good exchange listing and Belvarium tokens will moon.

  13. @KuehnMere

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    Belvarium project isn’t just a narrative play — it’s backed by actual development.

  14. @ConnieNorris-i4r1x

    October 14, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    BLV Belvarium is the type of quiet launch that explodes later when listings go live.

  15. @BennyTritsis

    October 14, 2025 at 6:11 pm

    You miss 100% of the early gems you ignore. Don’t skip Belvarium presale.

  16. @AnaisDumas-k8u

    October 14, 2025 at 6:11 pm

    I’ve got my eyes on Belvarium BLV presale. This project is about to go full-send 🚀📣

  17. @JesoConnell

    October 14, 2025 at 6:11 pm

    Fundamentals matter — and Belvarium Token is checking every single box.

  18. @BobbieGWhiz

    October 14, 2025 at 6:32 pm

    Does the display look like it’s floating in front of you about a foot or so?

  19. @renatopcampos1

    October 14, 2025 at 7:20 pm

    Put dubbing in Brazilian Portuguese.

  20. @weekendwarrior8179

    I’ll wait for the Samsung version

  21. @jonyu9333

    October 14, 2025 at 7:33 pm

    I’ll wait until i can surf the web. At least i can youtube and netflix from it as well.

  22. @lchanceiv

    October 14, 2025 at 7:37 pm

    Nope. Such an invasion of privacy. Think about restrooms and private spaces. Also trusting Meta with video and datat is just silly.

  23. @TangyWaterpark

    October 14, 2025 at 8:22 pm

    I sort of rock them but man they fit you well don’t look crazy big

  24. @lluneytune

    October 14, 2025 at 8:44 pm

    Hey , I think I met you @Bass Pro Shop in Bridgeport. I came in to see if you guys had any of these in the release date

  25. @VajckaSY

    October 14, 2025 at 8:49 pm

    The next couple of years are going to be a lot of fun. Like when the iPhone came and the race started. The success of iPhone was not the phone itself, but ecosystem, apps. Let’s see here. The first request – a teleprompter app that will show me text, and based on my speech, it will automatically scroll for me. 🙂 Thank you

    • @VajckaSY

      October 14, 2025 at 8:52 pm

      Also, I don’t want to think about this as a replacement for a phone. It’s a peripheral, and let’s take it that way. Maybe a combination of watches and leaving the phone at home.

  26. @michaellatner2849

    October 14, 2025 at 10:17 pm

    Samsung/Google – I will pay $2k for something that doesn’t require Meta proprietary stuff and can be used with an astigamtism!

  27. @justin4942

    Other things that could’ve been mentioned is potential in future updates. 1. “Allegedly” Meta will bring an App Store to it according to MKBHD (he does say, “Allegedly”) during his overview video when Meta debut them. 2. Scott forgot to mention/remind the audience that you can make video calls via the 3 messaging apps. I will say my experience at least on WhatsApp has been poor due to connectivity somehow (notified from the glasses and no problem w/internet in general) with projection of the person was very inconsistent. 3. Since you can’t see post or stories on Instagram with only conversation messages, I like to think in a future update they will implement it. If we go back nearly a year ago what tech reviewers were able to see and do on Meta’s prototype Orion, one of the things they were able to do is see Instagram posts. The other thing from that Orion overview is that they were able to navigate more than one app next to each other similar to Apple’s Vision Pro, so maybe in a future generation of the Meta Ray-Ban display’s we’ll see that implemented. The current version most likely wouldn’t be able to handle that and the display size isn’t that big.

    I watch these videos to just keep informed of what’s happening in tech. And I’m just utterly terrified after seeing this. There IS such a thing as too much progress. After reading Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, then I’m just shivering at the thought of this being from Meta.

    I highly recommend the book for everyone :’)

  29. @HeyMavDak

    October 14, 2025 at 10:49 pm

    Even $300 would be too much for this product. $800 is going to kill its potential.

  30. @LADuncanLLC

    October 14, 2025 at 10:57 pm

    Klandathu Drop from Starship Troopers is literally one of my favorite film score tracks. Fun to see that. Great overview too.

  31. @BrandonDoyleMN

    October 14, 2025 at 11:00 pm

    I have the same issue with the current offered range for prescription lenses so I have to wear contacts to use my first gen meta ray bans. When I use them while active I actually pop the lenses out but for other occasions I leave them in so it doesn’t look odd. Hopefully they work that out since the primary target audience mostly has poor vision

  32. @NigelTheRobot

    October 14, 2025 at 11:46 pm

    They really sent the guy who can’t see to review this 🤦🏾‍♂️ I stg

  33. @imranhusain1657

    October 15, 2025 at 12:01 am

    Meta Rayban should devise a trade-in for those with recent current glasses to upgrade to Display model.

  34. @christianlamb

    Incredible tech!! Looking forward to more of this for sure!!❤

  37. @GenesisSoon

    thank you for objectively reviewing the tech without any hype. It’s rare these days.

  38. @rosanglura

    Man, you guys really hate Meta 😀

  39. @nitesan2814

    October 15, 2025 at 3:54 am

    They really should add instagram reels

  40. @Existentialist946

    October 15, 2025 at 4:38 am

    I don’t think they take photos or videos in landscape, just portrait? That’s lamentable and unforgivable and incomprehensible.

  41. @saminnippon

    October 15, 2025 at 5:07 am

    I would rather google make this than Meta lol

  42. @Chinchillater

    October 15, 2025 at 6:12 am

    why do you have to wear contacts with glasses…. can’t you put prescription lenses on the frame?

  43. @betweenthepanels9145

    Death to recording without consent

      October 15, 2025 at 6:42 pm

      Ok so don’t buy them? Kind of comment is this 😂.

  45. @ometofu

    October 15, 2025 at 10:32 am

    Yea.. wait for version 3 of this when prescription supported and lighter frame

  46. @alexissvetrev

    October 15, 2025 at 11:53 am

    Wish they would allow us to put our own apps on it. Thats when you can capture the market

  47. @jobutl

    October 15, 2025 at 12:32 pm

    Very interesting tech in it’s early days. Can’t wait to see how it gets better in the future and hopefully it won’t be limited to just Meta.

  48. @Antonio_Stevens

    October 15, 2025 at 2:01 pm

    I want these but would like to buy now and get my prescription fitted, but I dont think I can do that yet

  49. @sid35gb

    October 15, 2025 at 4:05 pm

    This could be the death of the smartphone. Glasses and a smartwatch would be all you need.

  50. @sergsky

    October 15, 2025 at 6:08 pm

    You’re such a Meta sycophant!
    You think you’re just geeky, but you’re enabling Big Brother to erase our privacy. How can you be thrilled at recording and streaming others’ daily lives to Meta?

Unboxing Apple’s New $549 AirPods Max 2 in Purple

At first glance, the AirPods Max 2 don’t seem like much of an upgrade from their predecessor.
