Wearables have become an integral part of our lives, whether you're regularly rocking a smartwatch, smart ring or something else. When it comes to smart glasses, Meta's line of AI-powered Ray-Bans are in a class of their own, but they don't come cheap with pricies usually starting at around $300. Sales on these glasses going are pretty rare, too, but right now Meta is slashing 20% off various colors and styles such as Wayfarer, Skyler, Headliner and more. That brings the starting cost down to just $239, a price also matched at Amazon. If you're interested, don't wait too long. This sale ends on June 16. Whichever Meta Ray-Ban glasses you choose, they all have UVA and UVB ray protection, the ability to conduct video and regular phone calls and work with Meta AI to take photos and videos. You can even stream directly on apps like Instagram. They have a pretty solid built-in microphone, giving you clear quality when taking calls as well as great speakers for listening to music, podcasts and more. The battery lasts about one day before they'll need to be recharged. In his expert review, Scott Stein claims "Meta's glasses have shown me something somewhat astonishing at times: by being a companion to my everyday glasses, they achieve something -- even if limited -- that the most advanced VR mixed reality headsets can't." He also loves how AI isn't the main focus of these glasses. Even though that is a prominent and pretty useful feature, they are glasses first, followed by a camera and headphones and lastly an AI tool. These glasses are also getting new features at a decent clip, too. These Meta Ray Ban glasses don't go on sale often. In fact, the last time we saw them on sale was during Black Friday last year. During the Black Friday sale, they were also discounted by 20%. Right now, the glasses are down to a starting price of $239, depending on which style you go for. Keep in mind, this sale ends on June 16.
