What to know

Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 could get better microphones that cut wind noise and make calls clearer, according to Geeky Gadgets.

Wind is a real weak spot on today's glasses. In a review of the current Gen 2, Sportskeeda said the microphones work fine unless you are somewhere noisy or windy.

No leak says what microphones Gen 3 will actually use, and Meta has not announced Gen 3.
