Meta launches AI-powered glasses at $299, ditching Ray-Ban to expand smart glasses market

Meta Launches New Style-Focused Range of Colorful AI Smart Glasses

Starting at $299, Meta Glasses retain the Ray-Ban Meta's AI and camera features while adding a pop of color in three new frame styles, including a Kylie Jenner-branded one. Meta is taking yet another step to ensure its smart glasses blend seamlessly into daily life. The company has launched Meta Glasses, a new line of AI wearables that build on the features of the Ray-Ban Metas and add "bold and timeless shapes, rich colors, and premium materials." As with the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, the new range was created in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The two companies signed a 10-year deal to create smart glasses in 2024, but this new lineup does not feature the company's branding like the Ray-Ban or Oakley specs. Visual appeal appears to be the key selling point of the new range. The Meta Glasses will be available in three different shapes, eight frame colors, and four lens options, offering 26 unique combinations within the lineup. The Meta Adventurer comes in a rectangular shape, the Meta Fury takes a more Ray-Ban-like square shape, while a special-edition Meta Glasses by Kylie comes in a slim, oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. (In the battle of model-influencers, Snap just announced AR glasses with Kaia Gerber as one of its spokespeople.) Of course, this is still a Meta wearable, so it comes with its usual set of AI and camera features; specs are similar to the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2). You can press an action button to quickly summon Meta AI and speak to it using a multi-mic setup. The AI assistant's responses can be heard from the on-frame speakers. The Meta Glasses will be powered by the company's new Muse Spark model. Introduced in April, the model helps smart glasses improve responses to your queries and provide a better understanding of what's in front of you, Meta says. The new AI model is also available for Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses in the US and Canada. Soon, these glasses will get a pedestrian navigation feature for turn-by-turn directions and support for 14 new languages in live translation, including Japanese, Mandarin, and Hindi. With the new Meta Glasses, you'll also be able to capture photos and videos. With a software update later this month, the wearable will also get a dynamic photo feature that automatically captures multiple frames and recommends the best one for sharing. The Meta Glasses have a claimed battery life of 8 hours, and you can charge them using the accompanying charging case. Starting today, you can also place orders for a Meta Glasses charging stand. It's compatible with all AI glasses from Meta, and all you need to do is place your frame on top of it. The Meta Glasses range is available for purchase starting today from the company's online store as well as retail partners such as LensCrafters, Sunglasses Hut, Best Buy, and Amazon. The new range starts at $299 and will be available in classic black, classic tortoise, racing green, linen, merlot, mahogany, and sandstone. You can pair the glasses with a sun, transition, polarized, or clear lens. They are also compatible with prescription lenses within a total power range of -12 to +2.25.

Meta launches cheaper range of AI smart glasses starting at $299

June 23 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab and EssilorLuxottica (ESLX.PA), opens new tab on Tuesday announced a new range of lower-cost AI smart glasses, building on the success of their Ray-Ban wearable devices. The new Meta Glasses start at $299, making them far more affordable than the $800 Ray-Ban Display glasses launched last year. The Facebook parent has invested billions of dollars in its pursuit of "personal intelligence", betting that advanced gadgets and electronics would bring the benefits of AI to ⁠individual users. Although built in collaboration with Luxottica, the new range of glasses are the first to not be associated with any of the eyewear firm's popular brands such as Ray-Ban or Oakley. The glasses come in new colors and shapes, including a rectangle look, and a slim oval frame collection designed in partnership with media personality Kylie Jenner. The devices are also the first AI glasses from Meta to ⁠launch with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark, the first model out of the company's Superintelligence Labs. The success of Meta's glasses has spurred other tech companies such as Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab to explore the development of similar ⁠devices. Global smart glass shipments reached 9.6 million units last year, with Meta accounting for about 76.1% of the total, according to the International Data Corporation. The ⁠Meta Glasses announcement comes a week after Snapchat owner Snap (SNAP.N), opens new tab launched a pair of augmented-reality glasses at a hefty price of $2,195. However, Snap's glasses ⁠overlay digital content onto a user's real-world view while Meta's glasses allow display for text and AI interaction.

Meta Glasses hands-on: Ray-Ban is out, Kylie Jenner is in - Engadget

Familiar styles that offer more adaptability for slightly less money than the Ray-Ban models. After years of releasing smart glasses that bore the Ray-Ban or Oakley brand, Meta has finally made its own (although still in collaboration with Essilor Luxxotica). The company today unveiled a trio of AI Glasses -- the Fury, the Adventurer and the Meta Glasses by Kylie (labeled in some places as "Starfire"), and the first two of those styles start at $299. The variant that was co-designed with celebrity Kylie Jenner, will cost $399. At its launch event in New York City yesterday, Meta set us up with a pair of the new glasses and a companion phone, and let us roam around the venue and its demo areas somewhat freely. The company also had multiple units of the other styles around for us to pick up and try on as we liked, so I got a good sense of all the different options available. What's new But first, the basics. The new line of Meta glasses, according to the company's VP of wearable devices Ming Hua is "introduced by Meta and EssorLuxottica," and were built on "the same hardware platform as our best-selling AI glasses." You'll find a similar multi-array microphone setup, spatial audio and 3K video cameras. But the company has "really expanded the style, the colorways and materials" with a total of 26 combinations available. Of the three styles, the Meta Adventurer was described as more "classic" and rectangular, while the Meta Fury is a bit more full, square, and comes in more color options. The Starfire, which looks a lot like the smaller oval frames that Jenner favors, comes in black or tortoiseshell, and features a gem on the lens (more on that later). Across the whole lineup, the new Meta Glasses feature a three-way adjustable nose pad to better fit more face shapes. Like the Ray-Ban Meta, they also have over-extension hinges and user-adjustable temple tips for those who like their glasses to really hug their skulls. Alongside the new hardware, Meta is also updating the software for its glasses. The Meta AI companion app will launch with the Muse Spark AI update that rolled out to the company's existing glasses earlier this year, which should help it give better answers to questions. The company is also adding 14 languages to its library of supported languages for live translation, including Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi. That brings the total number to 20. Other software rollouts include a new "dynamic photos" feature that takes several photos in succession when you shoot and can pick the best image for you. Meta is also bringing the "pedestrian navigation" feature from its Display glasses to the new lineup so you can hear guidance like "Turn right now" when you're walking around a foreign city, for instance.

Meta's new AI glasses add Kylie flair without the designer badge

You'll use your voice for everything from recording video to controlling music playback to asking Meta AI about the weather Meta's been adding tech to glasses for the last few years now, in partnership with Ray-Ban and Oakley. It's now launched a new range of smart glasses with AI smarts on board, sans those brand names. The Meta Glasses feature largely the same hardware as the 2nd-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses: the same cameras, mics, and speakers, and as with that previous lineup, they don't get a screen in the lenses. You can, however, choose from 26 combinations of style, colorways, and materials, in three different shapes. They also get a lower price tag, with options starting at US$299. Slip these on, and you can shoot 3K/30-fps videos and photos with a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. You can ask Meta AI about anything (like you would with ChatGPT) and even about what you're looking at in real life. And you can take calls, and stream music and podcasts with a voice command. There's also a new Action button to discreetly invoke the AI or trigger a preset feature. There are three main styles to pick from. The Adventurer is a classic rectangular design that should appeal to most folks; the Fury is a slightly louder take on it. There's also Meta Glasses by Kylie, a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with model Kylie Jenner that unlocks her voice for AI assistance, for $100 more. The Glasses offer 8 hours of battery life; their included charging case adds another 40 hours. You can also get a charging stand to leave around your house. For audio, you've got open-ear speakers, and a wind-noise-reducing 6-mic array for calls and voice commands. There's 32 GB of onboard storage, which is said to be enough for more than 1,000 photos or 100 30-second videos. You can order the Glasses with prescription lenses, which add $100 at a minimum; you'll pay extra for transition lenses, and even more if you want thin lenses. Okay, so there's not much that's especially new here. But these are the first glasses to feature AI powered by Muse Spark, the company's powerful multimodal reasoning model that was released in April. That should make for smarter responses than you might have gotten with previous generations of Meta's eyewear. The firm promises this AI model will offer improved "answers on everything from sports scores to local restaurant picks, better understand what you're seeing, and help manage your daily life effortlessly - whether you're building healthy habits, managing your calendar, or navigating a busy schedule hands-free." The idea with these glasses is to make Meta AI accessible without the need to whip out your phone. You can ask it anything with a wake word, play music or audiobooks from Spotify and Audible, and even fire up a soundtrack for whatever sort of place and time you're in at that moment. Plus, if you're sporting a Garmin fitness wearable, you can get a summary of your current workout stats, compare your performance with previous sessions, and other insights. Meta promises additional features are coming down the pipeline soon: turn-by-turn walking directions to get around town, 14 new languages in real-time translation mode (making for more than 20 in total), and the ability to snap multiple photos during a special moment and automatically recommend the best frame out of the lot. With those features in tow, the Meta Glasses could make a compelling case for themselves at this price point. Meta is arguably the most popular brand for this type of wearable in the US right now, but others like Tecno and Rokid - whose glasses include a head-up display for live captions and notifications in your field of vision (review coming soon) - could catch up with differentiated offerings. If you're in the US, you can try on Meta Glasses at Meta Lab stores before you buy a pair. They're available starting today from Meta's site, Best Buy, and other retailers; they should arrive on Amazon soon too. Check out the Meta Glasses here. And if you're keen on wearing more tech on your face, the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses pack more tech and features, including a wristband for gesture-based control.

Meta's newest smart glasses ditch Ray-Ban for a better price tag

The $399 Starfire Kylie Edition glasses come with the option to respond to voice input in an AI-generated rendition of Kylie Jenner's voice. Meta has launched a handful of new smart glasses without branding partners like Ray-Ban. The new models start at $299, undercutting the least expensive of the second-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses by $80. The new Meta Adventurer and Meta Fury both feature square designs and start at $299, while the Starfire Kylie Edition, designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner, comes in more of a Y2K-styled oval shape for $399. The latter model also comes with the option to have the glasses synthesize Jenner's voice for its audio output. Each of the new pairs comes equipped with a 12-megapixel camera and six microphones. While all of Meta's new self-branded glasses were designed in-house and don't feature branding from legacy glasses labels like Ray-Ban or Oakley, CNN notes that Meta still works with Ray-Ban parent EssilorLuxottica to source lenses for its new glasses. The glasses' AI features are powered by Meta's new Muse Spark model. As with previous models, the new glasses feature a recording LED, and Meta says that they can't record when the glasses detect the indicator is obscured or has been tampered with. Meta's newest glasses are all available now through Meta's online storefront. The social media giant is still selling its older smart glasses built with legacy eyewear partners, too.

Meta's New AI Smart Glasses Drop Ray-Ban Branding and Add Kylie Jenner

Remember when we said Meta had a ton of new smart glasses incoming? Well, the faucet is officially on. Meta took the wraps off several new pairs of AI glasses that focus on diversifying style, small hardware tweaks, and making the noteworthy move of dropping Ray-Ban branding. The new lineup consists of the Fury, the Adventurer, and the Starfire Kylie Edition, all of which have their own distinct frames. While the Fury are bigger, more rectangular, and have thick arms, the Adventurer have thinner arms and a much lower footprint overall. Both of those pairs are available in standard and large. Probably the most unique of the bunch is the Starfire Kylie Edition, which are designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner and have a rounder, very not Ray-Ban profile. They also have (and I'm not kidding) a special voice for Meta AI that is meant to sound like Kylie herself. All of these pairs are prescription compatible. The charging case for the Kylie pair also has a mirror inside -- for a quick check, of course. Frame colors will depend on the style, but there is a wide variety this go-around, including black, tortoise, linen, merlot, mahogany, sandstone, and probably the most eye-catching of them all: racing green. There are some new flourishes that focus on comfort, too, including nose tips that can be adjusted in a small, medium, and wide fit, as well as temple tips that are bendable. Overextension hinges that bend to larger head sizes are also a nice touch. One functional tweak in the hardware is the addition of a built-in action button on the right glasses arm. That button can launch Meta AI or be customized to launch a feature of your choosing, though I'm not sure what the full range of customization is there. I didn't get a ton of time with Meta's new AI smart glasses, but I did get to try each pair on for a bit. The Starfire Kylie Edition and the Adventurer are the most accessible, and I think the Fury will appeal to anyone who's looking for something louder style-wise. Adding to that loudness is the "racing green" pair with translucent frames that mimic previous Meta specs like the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 2) Limited Edition, which came in a matte colorway that revealed the inside circuitry. I also think that people will be surprised at how thoughtfully designed the Kylie smart glasses are. Lots of people I saw try them on (including myself) preferred the size and fit, even if they have a rounder, distinctly less Ray-Ban profile. Feature-wise, just about everything -- including the 12-megapixel camera with 3K-resolution video capture and 8 hours of battery life (32 hours with the case) -- is the same here as second-gen Meta Ray-Ban AI glasses, though these three new models will be the first pairs to ship out of the box with Muse Spark, which is Meta's new AI model. I tried it for the first time since its release, and it's snappier than the old Meta AI. Muse Spark is more conversational; I was able to have a back-and-forth about a chicken wing magnet I saw during a demonstration and ask where I could buy one, and it felt smoother than usual. That being said, I still had some friction with computer vision. Muse Spark struggled to understand what I was looking at a few times and also misunderstood some of my queries. I'm not saying it's not an improvement over the last generation, but I don't know if it's a breakthrough quite yet. All three models are available starting today at Meta.com, LensCrafters, Sunglasses Hut, Best Buy, Amazon, and select retailers, and start at $299 but may be more depending on size and style.

Meta launches its own smart glasses brand at $299, breaking from the Ray-Ban name

Meta launched $299 smart glasses under its own brand, matching Ray-Ban Meta specs with 12MP camera and AI features. Meta has launched smart glasses under its own brand for the first time, pricing the Adventurer and Fury models at $299 each. The glasses match the hardware specifications of the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, which starts at $359, but ship without the Ray-Ban branding and licensing premium. A third model called Starfire, designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner, costs $399 and adds a distinctive angular frame. The move is significant because Meta has until now relied entirely on EssilorLuxottica's Ray-Ban brand to sell its smart glasses. EssilorLuxottica remains the manufacturing partner for the new lineup, but the Meta-branded models give the company direct control over pricing, distribution, and product identity. The glasses are available immediately at Meta's website, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, and Sunglass Hut. All three models carry the same core hardware: a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, 3K video recording, and a five-microphone array for voice commands and calls. Battery life is rated at more than eight hours of mixed use, with a charging case that extends total runtime to roughly 40 hours. The glasses come in 26 colour and lens combinations across the three frame styles. Meta's AI features run on Muse Spark, the company's new on-device model for its glasses lineup. Muse Spark handles voice queries, visual identification of objects in the camera's field of view, and real-time translation across 20 languages after adding 14 new ones. Pedestrian navigation is coming in a future update, with the glasses providing turn-by-turn audio directions. The pricing positions Meta's glasses as a direct contrast to Snap's Specs, which launched on June 16 at $2,195. Snap's device is a full augmented reality headset with a colour display and a 51-degree field of view, making the comparison imperfect. But the price gap underscores how differently the two companies are approaching the wearables category, with Meta betting on accessibility and Snap betting on capability. The smart glasses market has grown rapidly under Meta's dominance. EssilorLuxottica sold seven million AI-enabled glasses in 2025, up from roughly two million combined across 2023 and 2024. Meta and EssilorLuxottica together hold approximately 82 percent of the global smart glasses market, according to Counterpoint Research data from the second half of 2025. The partnership between the two companies began with Ray-Ban Stories in 2021, a first-generation device that offered basic photo and video capture without AI features. The Gen 2 Ray-Ban Meta glasses, launched in late 2023, added Meta AI integration and became the product that established the category as commercially viable. Launching a Meta-branded line creates a two-tier strategy. The Ray-Ban Meta glasses retain the fashion credibility and premium positioning of the Ray-Ban name, while the Meta Glasses offer a lower entry point for buyers who want the technology without paying for the brand. Whether this cannibalises Ray-Ban Meta sales or expands the total market is the central question for both Meta and EssilorLuxottica. Meta has been expanding its wearables ambitions beyond glasses, with a leaked memo confirming an AI pendant in development and plans for an enterprise subscription called Wearables for Work. The company's Reality Labs division, which builds all of its hardware products, lost four billion dollars in the first quarter of 2026 alone. The glasses line is one of the few Reality Labs products that has demonstrated consistent consumer demand. The Kylie Jenner collaboration on the Starfire model reflects Meta's effort to position smart glasses as a fashion accessory rather than a tech gadget. Jenner's involvement mirrors the influencer-driven marketing strategy that helped Ray-Ban Meta reach mainstream buyers who might not have considered a Facebook-branded wearable. The $399 Starfire is the most expensive Meta-branded model but still undercuts the base Ray-Ban Meta by $60 when accounting for the Jenner design premium. No major technical upgrades separate the Meta Glasses from the existing Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 hardware. The camera sensor, video resolution, microphone array, and battery specifications are identical. The differentiation is entirely in branding, frame design, and price, a signal that Meta believes the technology is mature enough to sell on value rather than novelty. The glasses ship globally starting today, though availability of specific frame and lens combinations varies by retailer. Meta has not disclosed production volume targets or sales projections for the new line.

'We have every ambition to reach every corner of market': Meta CTO Andrew 'Boz' Bosworth on the new $299 EssilorLuxotica Meta Glasses

So many design choices, including new frames co-designed by Kylie Jenner * Meta unveils $299 / £269 smart glasses (Meta Glasses) designed with EssilorLuxottica * They match Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses on virtually all features * They add adjustable nose pieces and a lot of design and color choices "It's pretty easy to make glasses that don't look good, it turns out," chuckled Meta CTO and Head of Reality Labs, Andrew 'Boz' Bosworth, shortly after unveiling a bumper crop of new Meta eyeware, simply called Meta Glasses, all fashioned in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica. Bosworth says the team argues over "every gram, every quarter of a millimeter" in an effort to bring ever lighter, ever more comfortable, and ever more fashionable AI eyewear to the market. With this foray into making frames with a slightly less well-known brand than Ray-Ban, Meta is bringing the new frames -- Adventurer, Fury, and Starfire Kylie [Jenner] Edition -- to market at a somewhat startling price: $299 /£269 / about AU$430 (not counting prescriptions). No one size or style fits all when it comes to eyewear, Ankit Brahmbhatt, Meta's Senior Director of Product for AI glasses, told me as he walked me through some of the new frames. There are, he added, eight colorways and 26 different style options. Ogling the style choices As I looked around the room in the Manhattan event space, I spotted black, something like ivory, tortoiseshell, deep black, green, and a dark maroon. The frames range from larger and almost boxy-looking to thinner and lighter frames. In fact, many of the EssilorLuxottica frames are so relatively thin and light that you might miss the cameras hidden in the front, and the slightly thicker stems to accommodate components and batteries, and mistake them for normal frames. Kylie Jenner's cat-eye-style frames are particularly fetching, and surprisingly looked halfway decent on me. Brahmbhatt told me Meta worked closely with Jenner to develop the design, adding signature touches like a tiny gem in the frame, a mirror in the case, and even Kylie Jenner's voice in the Meta AI. There are structural changes new to the Essilor Luxottica frames. The nose piece adjusts with a push to three different positions, the stems are bendable at the ends (Bosworth noted that the wires are coated with a kind of cellulose plastic), and the stems actually flex outward. I tried on almost every style I could find, and they were all quite comfortable. One of the biggest changes, though, is the addition of a small button behind the traditional Meta AI glasses button that you might use to capture a photo or start a video: it's a tiny Meta AI summoning button, and I used it interchangeably with saying, "Hey, Meta." More and better AI This is also the first set of Meta AI glasses to feature a Meta AI system backed by the company's more robust Muse Spark models, which provide a more conversational voice, better context awareness, and the ability to tap into the zeitgeist by checking out social media (at one point I asked Meta AI if there was chatter online about fake food, and it confirmed that many were talking about it on social media). I tried the new Meta AI in a few scenarios, and it ably identified whatever I was looking at (I could hear it snap a picture before the analysis), launched a music playlist based on my surroundings, and translated Arabic print for me. That all of this comes in for under $299 /£269 (Ray-Ban Meta frames start at $379), and without compromising on the 3K video-shooting quality, 12MP photos, microphones, array, or speakers, is remarkable; but these are still relatively early days in the wearable AI space. Getting it right and making it safe Design is "really important if you want people to wear them as daily driver glasses," said Meta Head of Industrial Design Peter Bristol, who joined Bosworth on stage and took some questions from reporters. In perhaps a nod to how thick and oversized AI glasses can look, the pair talked about how they made subtle changes to the designs, slimming down the frames, or simply making them look thinner by, for instance, adding a chamfer along the top edge of the frames, near the brow. A good design means less friction, which Bristol believes can help with AI adoption. For Meta, the goal is to "reach every corner of the market," said Bosworth, but that approach does come with risks. When asked about growing concerns about the privacy of these glasses (there have been reports of people wearing them to illegally photograph women and even tampering with the glasses to turn off the LED "I'm filming you" light), Bosworth acknowledged these issues, but reminded us that Meta had actually "pioneered putting LED on the glasses," and talked about the anti-tampering technology they put in Gen 2 Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. But, he added, it's "a cat and mouse game." As for what the future holds, I pointed out to Bosworth and Bristol that, while they now have a lot of styles, not everyone wears, or wants to wear glasses. What about smart contacts? "Absolutely, that one's top of mind for the design team," said Bristol, adding, "We are thinking and trying the other potential paths, but it's a complicated space, so glasses is front and center for us." Bosworth agreed with the premise of my question, admitting that he's not a glasses wearer, but is happy to wear Meta AI glasses "because they brought a lot of value -- but I'm aware that I'm doing it. "The design team is absolutely captivated by this question. What are the other ways that we can deliver this capability to people who don't have glasses on?"

Meta offers lower cost glasses as wearables competition heats up

San Francisco (United States) (AFP) - Meta on Tuesday launched a new line of smart glasses priced slightly lower than its Ray-Ban-branded glasses, as competition heats up in the AI-powered wearable tech space. The glasses are being made in partnership with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica, but won't carry that company's Ray-Ban or Oakley branding, unlike previous releases. The new glasses will start at $299, slightly less than its Ray-Ban smart glasses, which start at $379. Meta smart glasses allow you to shoot photos and videos, listen to music, take phone calls and interact with an integrated AI assistant including for live translation. Meta also sells two Oakley-branded pairs that start at $399, while its top-of-the-line Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are priced at around $800. "We just feel like we need to have a pair of glasses at a lower price point, and we were trying to figure out what could work there," Meta's vice president of wearables, Alex Himel, told The Verge. The glasses will offer an array of photo, video and other AI features powered by Meta's own AI models, and will support live translation in 14 new languages. While Meta currently dominates the market for smart glasses, other companies are trying to catch up. Earlier this month, Snap, the maker of social media app Snapchat, announced its own new generation of smart glasses, called Specs, which will provide an augmented reality experience beyond what Meta offers. People will be able to use Snap's Specs without pairing them with a smartphone, and the glasses will project digital objects onto the surrounding environment. Specs will launch later this year for $2,195 -- many times more expensive than anything Meta offers. Apple is also reportedly gearing up to launch its own smart glasses in 2027. The iPhone maker previously launched a mixed-reality headset called Vision Pro for $3,499, but sales have been lackluster.

Meta ships first smart glasses powered by its Superintelligence Labs' Muse Spark model

Meta ships first smart glasses powered by its Superintelligence Labs' Muse Spark model Meta Platforms Inc. today announced a partnership with EssilorLuxottica to launch a new lineup of artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses that can "see" the world and talk to users about it. Building on the company's previous lineup and incorporating generative AI features already present in its wearable devices, Meta's new line features new shapes, colors and premium materials, starting at $299 - around $80 cheaper than the last-gen Ray-Ban Meta line. Meta is cheering on its AI software by focusing on the hardware, saying there's now a dedicated button that lets users quickly access Meta AI's core functionality. The glasses have high-quality audio with open-ear speakers, allowing them to deliver clear phone calls, music, podcasts and audiobooks. It also features multi-mic arrays to pick up voices and reduce wind noise. They also feature cameras to capture and share video and photos. The glasses also have an 8-hour battery and on-the-go charging, providing up to 40 hours of additional battery life. The power of AI within the frames The company recently introduced Muse Spark, the company's first multimodal reasoning model out of Meta Superintelligence Labs, built specifically for the company's products - and supports its wearables such as glasses. With its multimodal capabilities, users can activate Muse and receive answers about everything from sports scores and local restaurant venues to better understanding what they are looking at, translating text in foreign languages and managing their calendars. The company touted the AI's ability to help them with their everyday lives, such as supporting healthy habits, navigating a busy day or managing digital tasks hands-free. Meta also said it intends to bring pedestrian navigation for displayless glasses, where the AI will speak directly to the user with turn-by-turn directions. The glasses will also receive support for 14 new languages in live translation, including Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi and Korean, so users can have real-time conversations anywhere. Although the company has stressed privacy, there has been some tension lately given its push to build facial recognition into its wearables. The company was caught silently testing recognition software with its smart glasses by Wired and the Electronic Frontier Foundation verified it; shortly thereafter, Meta stripped the code from Meta AI and thereby from its wearables. This brash move damaged the company's already problematic reputation as a surveillance instrument. Although there are uses for facial recognition in consumer gear, passing this information to corporations and sending faces and other private - presumably intimate - data to corporations and governments can legitimately feel like a violation to many users. Varied styles for the fashion-forward Meta said that, as part of the partnership, it's bringing three different styles with distinct silhouettes for different faces and moods. These include the Adventurer, clean rectangular frames for a standard look; Fury, based on a bold, rounded frame; and Glasses by Kylie, which feature a slim, oval shape designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner, inspired by her personal style, using an AI clone of her voice. Even as fashion statements are made, the lower price will certainly help sales for the new Meta Glasses. Google LLC has plans to release its own Gemini-enabled eyewear in collaboration with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, and Samsung Electronics Ltd. also has plans to launch its own line of smart glasses.

Mark Zuckerberg's A.I. Glasses Push Gets a Kardashian Makeover

A lower price and celebrity backing position Meta against rising competition in smart glasses. Building on the success of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, Mark Zuckerberg is now on a quest to make A.I. wearables fashionable. Yesterday (June 23), Meta unveiled a new in-house line simply called Meta Glasses, starting at $299. While still produced with Ray-Ban parent EssilorLuxottica, the new glasses drop the Ray-Ban branding entirely. Central to that effort is a high-profile collaboration with Kylie Jenner, whose custom-designed "Meta Starfire Kylie Edition" frames bring one of social media's most influential figures directly into the company's wearable strategy.

You can opt out anytime. See all of our newsletters At launch, the lineup includes three styles -- the Adventurer, Fury and Jenner's Starfire edition -- ranging from square to more oval silhouettes. The specs are similar to the Ray-Ban Meta models, though Meta promises slightly improved battery life. The glasses include built-in cameras, open-ear speakers and microphones, allowing users to capture up to three-minute videos in 3K resolution, take calls, send texts and access live translation in more than 20 languages. Voice commands via "Hey Meta" activate the company's A.I. assistant for real-time queries. For Zuckerberg, this release is as much about image as it is about technology. The Meta Glasses debut with Muse Spark, Meta's latest multimodal A.I. model. Moving beyond Ray-Ban and partnering with Jenner, who has more than 382 million Instagram followers, also gives Meta a direct line to younger, style-conscious consumers. "This is the first step of Meta taking a really hard pass at becoming relevant in the fashion glasses world," Peter Bristol, VP of Industrial Design at Meta, said during a press briefing. Meta's announcement comes just days after Snap introduced its own A.I.-powered glasses, SPECs, and ahead of Apple's widely anticipated entry into the category. Industry observers see Meta's pricing and positioning as a calculated move. "It was a very smart and strategic move for Meta to drop these cheaper but just-as-powerful-as-their-Gen2 smart glasses within 72 hours of Snap's announcement. They are effectively a tenth of the price of Specs but with more immediate and impactful function, fashion and feasibility," Matt Maher, CEO of M7 Innovations, told Observer via email. Still, Maher cautioned that Apple remains "the real 800-pound gorilla," citing its improving Siri ecosystem and strong privacy reputation as potential advantages in future wearable launches. Meta currently leads the smart glasses market with an estimated 82 percent share, and EssilorLuxottica reported selling more than 7 million Meta A.I. glasses in 2025. But the broader category remains volatile. Recent devices like the Humane AI Pin, Rabbit R1 and Apple Vision Pro have struggled to gain traction, highlighting the difficulty of turning experimental hardware into everyday essentials. Zuckerberg's bet is that style can succeed where pure technology has faltered. Whether that is enough to turn smart glasses into a true fashion staple remains an open question.

Meta expands its smart glasses portfolio with new Meta Glasses Line starting at $299

Meta and eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica have unveiled a new range of AI-powered smart glasses under the Meta Glasses brand, marking the latest expansion of the companies' push into wearable AI hardware. The new lineup builds on the foundation established by Meta's earlier AI eyewear products, which combined cameras, voice controls, and an AI assistant in a familiar glasses form factor. The company says it has sold millions of AI glasses over the past five years, helping establish smart eyewear as one of the most closely watched hardware categories in the AI era. Meta also has a partnership with RayBan a product ET has covered extensively and tested as well in New York City. The new Meta Glasses range starts at $299 and introduces three frame designs aimed at different styles and use cases: Meta Adventurer starts at $299 and features a classic rectangular frame available in standard and large sizes. Meta Fury starts at $349 and adopts a more aggressive, statement-making design. Meta Glasses by Kylie start at $399 and feature a slimmer oval frame developed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner, marking her first move into wearable technology. Pricing varies based on frame, lens, and customization options. The glasses are available in multiple colorways including Classic Black, Tortoise, Racing Green, Linen, Merlot, Mahogany, and Sandstone. Buyers can choose between clear, polarized, transition, and sunglass lenses, bringing the total number of style combinations to 26. The lineup also supports prescription lenses. Meta is introducing a new Rx Lens Swap program that allows users to add prescription lenses through their preferred optician after purchase without affecting warranty coverage. Familiar Hardware, Updated Design Across the lineup, Meta has incorporated adjustable nose pads, temple tips, and hinge mechanisms designed to improve comfort and fit. Core features remain similar to previous Meta smart glasses, including: Voice access to Meta AI through a dedicated action button. Open-ear speakers for calls, music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Multi-microphone arrays with wind-noise reduction for voice interactions. Hands-free photo and video capture. Privacy controls and built-in safeguards for people around the wearer. Battery life rated at more than eight hours on a single charge. Each pair ships with a foldable charging case that Meta says can provide up to 40 additional hours of battery life. Meta is also launching a standalone charging stand compatible with most of its current smart-glasses lineup. First Glasses Powered by Muse Spark Meta Glasses will be the first smart glasses to launch with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark, the company's latest multimodal AI model developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs. According to Meta, the updated AI system offers stronger contextual understanding, allowing the glasses to better interpret what users are seeing and respond more naturally. The assistant is designed to handle tasks ranging from answering questions and recommending nearby restaurants to managing schedules and daily routines through voice commands. Meta also confirmed that Muse Spark-powered Meta AI is rolling out to existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses in the United States and Canada. New Features on the Roadmap A new Dynamic Photo feature automatically captures multiple frames and recommends the best image while still allowing users to choose their preferred shot. The company is also preparing to introduce pedestrian navigation for display-free smart glasses, enabling turn-by-turn directions through audio guidance. Meanwhile, live translation is expanding with support for 14 additional languages, including Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin Chinese. Following the update, Meta's smart-glasses ecosystem will support real-time translation across 20 languages.

Meta unveils lower-priced AI smart glasses starting at $299 By Investing.com

Investing.com -- Meta Platforms announced Tuesday a new line of AI smart glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, marking the company's first entry into lower-priced models under its own brand. The social networking company introduced the Meta Adventurer and Fury glasses, each priced at $299. The price is $80 less than the second-generation Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer model launched last year. Meta also presented a $399 Starfire model created in collaboration with Kylie Jenner, targeting a younger, fashion-focused audience. EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Ray-Ban and Oakley, will manufacture the glasses designed by Meta. The Italian-French eyewear company's logo appears alongside Meta's on the inside of the temple arms and packaging. Stay ahead of every breaking move with real-time news on InvestingPro -- now 50% off. The new glasses feature hardware and software similar to Meta's other screen-less smart glasses. A new feature allows users to manually adjust the width between nose pads to three different levels. The glasses include Meta's new AI model, Muse Spark, pre-installed. Alex Himel, who leads Meta's wearables unit, said in a Bloomberg interview that the new approach responds to demand for "a more accessible price point." He added that after reviewing brands together with EssilorLuxottica, the companies decided to position Meta at the lower price tier below Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta. The Adventurer glasses feature a rectangular design with thin edges, similar to Wayfarers, and come in regular and large sizes. The Fury model resembles the Adventurer but with thicker frames. The Kylie Jenner glasses have a slim oval shape. Meta offers several colors, including tortoise, black and green, with transition, polarized and clear lens options. The eyewear is compatible with prescription lenses. Meta indicated it is considering a camera-free version focusing on audio for phone calls, media playback and AI interaction.

Meta Launches New Line of AI Smartglasses

Meta Platforms launched a new line of Meta Glasses with a built-in AI assistant. The new line, made with EssilorLuxottica, builds on the features of Meta's existing AI glasses and features new shapes and colors. They are for sale starting at $299. The line includes three frame styles, including one designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Consumers can interact with Meta AI through the glasses by pushing a button. They can also make phone calls, listen to music and give voice commands via the glasses. The glasses are compatible with prescription lenses. They are available starting Tuesday at Meta's website, as well as Lenscrafters, Sunglass Hut, Best Buy, Amazon and select retailers. Smartglasses are one of the many businesses Meta is investing in, as it aims to be a competitor with other major AI hyperscalers such as Anthropic and Alphabet. The product has been more popular among consumers compared with virtual reality headsets. Meta shipped 7.3 million pairs of Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses in 2025, more than it ever sold of its VR headsets in a single year.

Meta launches cheaper range of AI smart glasses starting at $299

June 23 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms and EssilorLuxottica on Tuesday announced a new range of lower-cost AI smart glasses, building on the success of their Ray-Ban wearable devices. The new Meta Glasses start at $299, making them far more affordable than the $800 Ray-Ban Display glasses launched last year. The Facebook parent has invested billions of dollars in its pursuit of "personal intelligence", betting that advanced gadgets and electronics would bring the benefits of AI to individual users. Although built in collaboration with Luxottica, the new range of glasses are the first to not be associated with any of the eyewear firm's popular brands such as Ray-Ban or Oakley. The glasses come in new colors and shapes, including a rectangle look, and a slim oval frame collection designed in partnership with media personality Kylie Jenner. The devices are also the first AI glasses from Meta to launch with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark, the first model out of the company's Superintelligence Labs. The success of Meta's glasses has spurred other tech companies such as Google and Apple to explore the development of similar devices. Global smart glass shipments reached 9.6 million units last year, with Meta accounting for about 76.1% of the total, according to the International Data Corporation. The Meta Glasses announcement comes a week after Snapchat owner Snap launched a pair of augmented-reality glasses at a hefty price of $2,195. However, Snap's glasses overlay digital content onto a user's real-world view while Meta's glasses allow display for text and AI interaction.
