Dymesty AI Glasses Review: Titanium AI Glasses Taking on Ray-Ban Meta
Smart glasses are one of the hottest categories in wearable tech right now. As AI integrates more deeply into our daily lives, the idea of having an always-on assistant sitting right on your face is becoming less futuristic and more practical. I recently had the chance to test Dymesty AI Glasses, a product about to launch on Kickstarter, and compare them directly with my Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses — currently one of the most well-known AI glasses on the market.
So, how do these titanium newcomers measure up? Here’s my in-depth review after a week of use.
Table of Contents
We Like
Premium titanium design (stronger and more futuristic than Ray-Ban Meta’s plastic)
Lightweight and comfortable, even for long sessions
Impressive AI transcription and summarization features
Long battery life
Handy extras like phone loss alert and ambidextrous controls
We Don't Like
Audio quality is average, with noticeable sound leakage
No charging case, and the proprietary charging cable could be a hassle
Limited frame/lens customization compared to Ray-Ban Meta
Unboxing & First Impressions
The packaging immediately signals a premium product. Inside the elegant box, I found:
A protective carrying case with the glasses inside
A small paper box containing the charging cable, cleaning cloth, and user manual
The glasses themselves stand out thanks to their titanium frame, which gives off a strong tech-forward vibe. Compared to the plastic build of Ray-Ban Meta, Dymesty feels more durable and futuristic.
That said, the arms of the Dymesty are noticeably thicker than Ray-Ban Meta. From the front, Dymesty looks sleek and lightweight, but from the side, the bulk is more obvious.
Comfort & Fit
At just 35g, Dymesty is surprisingly light — actually a little lighter than the Ray-Ban Meta in practice. I don’t usually wear glasses, but I wore both pairs for two hours at a time to compare comfort.
Dymesty felt more comfortable overall, especially around the temples. The arms didn’t pinch my face, and the fit felt stable even during light exercise.
Ray-Ban Meta, while stylish, felt tighter over long sessions.
For anyone planning all-day wear, comfort is definitely a win for Dymesty.
Controls & AI Features
Dymesty uses physical buttons for activating the AI assistant, which I personally preferred over voice-only controls. The tactile feedback gave me more confidence that the command actually went through — especially useful while driving, when I was able to schedule a meeting hands-free.
I tested the speech-to-text function by watching a Neil Patel YouTube video and cross-checking with Chrome plug-in subtitles. The transcription was almost identical, which was impressive.
The companion app offers a variety of templates for summaries, including:
Key points overview
In-depth overview
Meeting summary
Lecture/interview/training summaries
Daily conversation log
The selection isn’t huge, but it covers most business and everyday scenarios. For professionals who rely on quick notes and recordings, this feature could be a game-changer.
Audio & Call Quality
This is one area where Ray-Ban Meta clearly pulls ahead.
Phone calls: In my subway test, the other person could hear me clearly thanks to noise cancellation — good performance here.
Music playback: Decent, but nothing special. Audio lacks richness.
Sound leakage: Noticeable in quiet environments, so privacy is a concern.
Overall, Dymesty is functional for calls and casual listening, but audiophiles or heavy music listeners will be disappointed compared to Ray-Ban Meta.
Battery Life & Charging
Dymesty claims 48 hours of battery life, and my test results aligned with that. After 2 hours of music playback at 60% volume, the battery only dropped by about 10%. That’s excellent.
Charging is handled via a dual magnetic cable that connects to both arms. It’s convenient and secure, but here’s the catch:
It’s a proprietary cable — if you forget it, you won’t be able to recharge on the go.
Unlike Ray-Ban Meta, there’s no charging case, which makes travel less seamless.
Daily Use & Extras
After a week of use, here’s what stood out:
Durability: No scratches so far, and the titanium frame feels solid.
Phone loss alert: Surprisingly useful. It warns you if you walk more than 8 meters away from your phone.
Ambidextrous controls: Buttons on both sides make it equally comfortable for left- and right-handed users.
App experience: Clean, bug-free interface with multiple frame options (Cook Edge, Jobs Circle, Moore Vision) and lenses (single vision, progressive, transition). The customization options are decent, though still not as extensive as Ray-Ban Meta.
Verdict: Who Should Buy Dymesty AI Glasses?
Dymesty isn’t trying to be the flashiest pair of AI glasses — it’s aiming at professionals who need productivity tools on the go. If you:
Work in international business (the translation and summary features are standout)
Value comfort and durability in eyewear
Need long-lasting battery life for travel
…then Dymesty is worth serious consideration, especially as an early Kickstarter backer.
On the other hand, if high-quality audio or media playback is a top priority, you’ll likely be happier sticking with Ray-Ban Meta.
For me, Dymesty feels like a workhorse pair of AI glasses — less about lifestyle branding, more about actually getting things done. And that might be exactly what many professionals are looking for.
