Meta has unveiled its new smart glasses, created in partnership with Oakley. The limited edition Oakley Meta HSTN will be available for pre-order at $499 starting July 11, 2025. Other Oakley models are set to go on sale this summer, starting at $399.
Like the Meta Ray-Ban, these glasses feature a front-facing camera, microphones, and open-type speakers. When connected to a smartphone, they allow users to listen to music or podcasts, make calls, and interact with Meta AI. Thanks to the camera and microphones, Meta AI can answer questions about the environment and translate text.
This new model is specifically aimed at athletes. The glasses are moisture-resistant to IPX4 standards and can operate for up to 8 hours on a single charge—twice as long as the Meta Ray-Ban. With a charging case, they offer a total battery life of 48 hours. The camera now supports recording in 3K resolution, compared to 1080p in Ray-Ban.
The series is available in five variants, with all models offering the option to include prescription lenses for an additional fee. Frame colors include gray, black, brown smoke, and clear, with multiple lens options, including photochromic.
The limited edition priced at $499 will feature gold accents and Oakley PRIZM lenses. Sales will begin in the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.
Additionally, Meta recently signed a multi-year contract with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Ray-Ban and Oakley. They have already sold over two million pairs of Meta Ray-Ban and aim to sell 10 million smart glasses annually by 2026.
