Meta and Oakley Smart Glasses Redefine Wearable Tech for Athletes
Meta has officially unveiled its latest wearable innovation—the Oakley Meta smart glasses. Designed with athletes and tech-savvy fans in mind, these new smart glasses mark a bold step forward in performance eyewear. Built on Oakley's iconic HSTN frame design, the glasses feature upgraded hardware, including 3K video recording, extended battery life, and Meta’s voice-enabled AI. For anyone wondering what makes these smart glasses stand out from earlier models like the Meta Ray-Bans, the answer lies in functionality, comfort, and a sporty aesthetic that doesn’t sacrifice tech power. Priced from $399, the glasses are set to drop later this summer with a limited-edition gold-accented version available for preorder on July 11.
Smart Glasses with Meta AI for Everyday Performance
The inclusion of Meta AI takes the Oakley Meta smart glasses beyond just stylish eyewear. With a simple voice command, users can ask the glasses to take a video, capture a photo, translate spoken language, or even describe what they’re seeing. This real-time interaction is perfect for athletes, travelers, and outdoor adventurers who want hands-free functionality while staying engaged in the moment. Picture this: you're out for a morning jog and ask, “Hey Meta, what’s the weather like?”—and instantly get an audio reply. Whether it's documenting a cycling session or listening to your favorite playlist through the open-ear speakers, the AI integration ensures the glasses are both helpful and responsive.
Design and Features of Oakley Meta Smart Glasses
Meta and Oakley didn’t just focus on tech specs—they prioritized design and comfort, too. The new smart glasses come in six color combinations, offering lens options like Oakley’s Prizm technology for enhanced clarity in various lighting conditions. With prescription-ready frames available at an additional cost, these glasses cater to a wide user base. More importantly, the glasses feature a front-facing camera, dual microphones, and discreet open-ear speakers—ideal for phone calls, media consumption, and social sharing. Battery performance also sees a significant boost: users get up to eight hours of typical use, with fast charging that brings the battery to 50% in just 20 minutes. A portable charging case extends usage up to 48 hours, making it easy to stay powered during long trips or events.
Availability, Pricing, and Meta's Vision for Wearable Tech
The Oakley Meta smart glasses will initially launch in the U.S., Canada, and several countries across Europe and Australia, with Mexico, India, and the UAE joining the list later this year. The limited-edition model featuring gold accents will retail at $499, while other styles start at $399. Meta highlights this launch as part of its ongoing collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, parent company of Oakley and Ray-Ban. With over two million Ray-Ban smart glasses already sold, Meta is signaling a growing commitment to creating wearable products that blend utility, fashion, and smart technology. The Oakley Meta line is not just a product—it’s part of a larger movement toward connected lifestyle gear for the next generation of users who want tech to seamlessly fit into their daily lives.
