- Meta and Oakley have released their non-limited edition Smart Glasses
- They are ready for pre -ordering prior to a 26th August release
- They start at $ 399 / £ 399 / AU $ 629
Oakley and Meta have finally debuted their six non-limited edition HSTN Smart Glasses, and they are all available for pre-order now, in front of their 26th August release.
We now also have prices for the smart specifications, which is important. The cheapest pair – black frame with clear lentils or a warm gray frame with Prizm Ruby lenses – are $ 399 / £ 399 / AU $ 629, followed by $ 449 / £ 449 / AU $ 699 pairs – the black frames with Prizm Black Polarized Lenses or Brown Smoking Frames with Prizm Deep Water Polarized Lenses.
In the UK, the blacks with black polarized lenses are currently listed as £ 499, which we assume is a mistake simply because they are the same price as brown smoke specifications in other regions. We have contacted Meta for clarification on this.
Otherwise, the most expensive two pairs – excl. The existing Oakley’s limited edition – Priced at $ 479 / £ 479 / AU $ 719. This gets you either a black frame with ready for amethyst transition lenses or a clear frame with ready for gray transition lenses.
We will soon test a few of these Oakleys, but there are three major reasons to buy these glasses. First, their sporting design.
The frame shape is subjective, but Oakley’s Prizm lenses can be super convenient for certain sports. For example, Ruby lenses are reportedly convenient for sports such as hiking and golf because of the contrast they create.
Then there are hardware on D devices. First -person camera is not the best, but I have found that these kinds of specifications are ideal for concerts and when you are on vacation that you can catch memories without taking yourself out of the moment by living it through a phone screen. The Open-Ear speakers are also practical at soundtracking your activities while staying present.
Finally, you have the benefits of Meta AI. The on-glass version of the assistant has been a super practical travel guide and learns for me. I have used it to learn more about destinations I have visited in Italy – as structures at Pompeii – and it can quickly translate signs with a good amount of accuracy.
However, there is a great reason why I am not busy grabbing a pair: my smart glasses with beam lanes.
These glasses are not so sporty, nor do they boast of Oakley’s upgraded specifications, but they are honestly fine for my needs and can be good choices for you if you want something a little cheaper (Ray-Bans starts at $ 299 / £ 299 / AU $ 449).
If you don’t yet rock a few smart specifications, these Oakley glasses appear to be worth paying attention even if they are a little more expensive. My advice would be to try a couple of pairs in a personal store to see which ones you like best.
