Oakley And Meta Launched New Ai Glasses
Meta has partnered with Oakley to launch a new line of AI-powered smart glasses called Oakley Meta HSTN, designed with performance in mind.
This is the first product from the Oakley-Meta lineup and comes with several improvements compared to the earlier Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Key features
Built for performance – Rugged IPX4 water resistance, durable Oakley O‑Matter frames, and PRIZM lenses designed for high-contrast outdoor visibility.
Hands-free capture – Dual front-facing cameras offer crisp 3K video recording, doubling resolution over Ray‑Ban Meta glasses.
Extended battery life – Up to 8 hours of active use and 19 hours standby per charge; the included charging case adds another 48 hours. Fast charging: 50% in 20 minutes.
Meta AI on your face – Open-ear speakers, mics, and voice control (“Hey Meta…”) let users make calls, listen to music, get contextual AI responses (like wind speed), translate languages, and more.
Sleek design – Available in six frame/lens combos (some prescription-ready), including a special $499 limited edition with gold accents and PRIZM lens.
Why It Matters
This launch marks Meta’s “first step into the performance category”—a pivot from social-style wearables to rugged, real-world applications.
With over 2 million Ray-Ban Meta units sold and a goal to hit 10 million smart glasses annually by 2026, the Oakley collaboration expands the lineup
Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts can now capture POV footage, access real-time AI insights, and stay connected—all while keeping their hands free and style intact.
Availability & Pricing
The Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses will be available in two versions: a limited-edition model priced at $499, which opens for pre-orders on July 11, 2025, and standard models starting at $399, expected to be available later in the summer.
The general release for both variants is slated for Summer 2025.
Initially, the glasses will launch in key markets including the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia, with additional rollouts planned for Mexico, India, and the United Arab Emirates by the end of the year.
