Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 · Reported Feature

Microphones tuned for wind noise

Wind noise is Gen 2's most-cited flaw across user reviews and mic tests, and while no tier-1 outlet has named microphone improvement as a stated Gen 3 target, it's a reasonable inference from a known weakness rather than a reported fact.

Wind noise is the flaw Gen 2 owners complain about most, and the obvious thing for Gen 3 to fix. Tech Advisor points to a new wind-noise reduction algorithm for clearer calls. No tier-1 outlet has named microphone improvement as a stated Gen 3 target, so this is an educated read of a known weakness rather than a reported spec. Worth watching, not banking on.
