    So glad I got the Gen2

    Incredible smart glasses that truly enhance everyday life These Gen 2 Oakley HSTN Meta glasses have honestly become something I use daily, and they continue to impress me. The Prizm Ruby lenses provide outstanding clarity, contrast, and glare reduction. I ordered prescription lenses for them, which made the experience absolutely perfect—clear vision combined with smart features in one seamless device. The Meta features are where these really shine. The sound quality isn’t Bose-level or ultra high-end, but it is rich, clear, and easy to hear even in noisy environments. I consistently get a solid 8 to 9 hours of listening time, which easily lasts all day. Phone calls are excellent—voices are clear on both ends without needing to speak loudly. The AI interface is intuitive and genuinely helpful. I use it frequently for turn-by-turn directions, and I’m honestly addicted to that feature. Since I sometimes have trouble seeing, being able to ask my glasses what I’m looking at or have them read labels out loud is incredible. The “Be My Eyes” functionality is truly amazing and has been a game changer for me. I also love that I can connect these to my TV via Bluetooth and watch late at night without disturbing anyone else in the room—an underrated but fantastic feature. The 3K video quality is impressive, and capturing content is effortless. A quick click on the right arm takes a photo, and a long press on the top records video. My only wish is that Meta would allow landscape video in addition to vertical, but even so, hands-free photos and video are incredibly convenient. The charging case deserves special mention. The hard shell case has a very satisfying magnetic snap-close that feels premium and secure. The glasses charge fully from 0 to 100% in about 25 to 30 minutes, and there’s room inside to tuck in a cleaning cloth for fingerprints, dust, or smudges. Yes, the case is a bit bulky, but I solved that easily by using a leather protective case that keeps water out and helps keep it looking new. I’ve also enjoyed customizing these with accessories. I added white slide-out camera covers, which I love because I only open them when I’m intentionally taking photos or video. This helps prevent accidental recordings and adds peace of mind for privacy—for myself and others. I also added silicone tips on the arms to keep the glasses from slipping down my nose. There are so many accessories available that you can truly tailor these glasses to your needs. The app is simple and easy to use. Downloading photos and videos to my phone is seamless, and I love that it automatically crops out my hat when I’m wearing one—such a thoughtful touch. I paid about $100 more for Gen 2 over Gen 1, and I’m very glad I did. The extended battery life and 3K video alone make it worth the upgrade. These glasses feel thoughtfully designed, comfortable for long wear, and packed with features that genuinely improve daily life rather than feeling like gimmicks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Coming from the Gen 1 Meta Wayfarer the bold style of the Oakley Meta HSTN is an acquired taste. Well, for the most part Oakley enthusiasts are built different. What I love about the Meta HSTN is the improved battery life, the fit on my nose and a bit of improvement on the sound quality via the tiny bump in bass. It did solve my irks about the Gen 1 Wayfarer but didn't fulfill the wish of a centered camera and an IP 67 rating, well they released the Vanguard for that. For $399 you get a decent earphone, sunglasses and camera all rolled into one every day carry. That's enough for me. The promise of future features like the slow motion and hyperlapse option makes me think twice about getting the Vanguards. I would love to have the conversation focus that they showcased during Meta Connect as well. As of today, they haven't rolled out to my Meta HSTN yet.

    Overall, I bought these glasses for my birthday so I could record the entire celebration. And the details are absolutely perfect, both in terms of audio and video. Everything is super nice, everything looks sharp. Everything sounds perfect. The sound quality is excellent, and they're also comfortable to wear. The battery lasts a long time, they're durable, they don't get dirty easily, and they're easy to clean. I'm super happy with these glasses; they're the best product on the market.

    I bought this as my very first AI glasses. And it did not disappoint. The battery life is amazing i went to bigsur all day and it didnt died on me, it shoots 3k videos very clear and the audio is crisp. The speakers on the ears are nice with auto adjustment volume option bases on background noise. The fit it snug fit, does not hurt, the polarized lens helped a lot when outdoors. The charging case is sturdy and charges the oakley meta fast. Over all highly recommended, high price but high quality as well. Im glad i was able to buy this limited edition.

    Love these AI glasses! The frame is unique in color--black on the top and sides and clear on the bottom. They do not slide down my nose. I wear a small frame --48-50 is the number I typically look for and this frame fit me better than most AI RayBan styles. The transition lens works well by quickly changing in the sun and then back to clear. I like to wear them when I walk my dog to listen to music. It is great to ask Meta questions, but make sure you word your question in several ways. I have found that some of my questions do not get answered well enough, so I then rephrase my question to get a more detailed answer. I like working with the glasses on so I can listen to music in a busy workplace without others noticing. If you take a photo- it has a wide angle lens, so if you want a close up you would need to be pretty close up. Video quality and photo quality is great.

    I really like these pair of Oakley's. I already had a pair of Ray Ban Metas and the battery life on the Oakleys is better. The only reason I took away a star is due to the darkness of the tint once the shades transition not being dark enough for the sun.

    Oakley Meta Glasses are amazing, clear to tint works almost instantly. Audio and controls easy and simple just like the Raybans, with these you get double the battery life, case holds more charge, and better picture/video quality. Are they expensive? Slightly, however many brand name sunglasses on the market are between $150-300, while only being one dimensional sunglasses. Meta Ai needs a bit more work just like every other Ai but for broad questions like how’s the weather or math conversions it’s very convenient. Live Ai is a cool option if you want to have a conversation with Ai or ask questions back to back. Photo and video quality are as good your iPhone.

    The Oakley Meta shades build upon the exceptional technology found in the Rayban Metas that I still use. With an extended battery life of 8 hours compared to the previous 4 hours, they offer all-day wearability. Additionally, the inclusion of 3K video levels significantly enhances the quality, surpassing what I experience on my iPhone. This special edition stands out with its distinctive gold lenses and white frames, which have garnered numerous compliments and have become my preferred choice for outdoor sports and capturing stunning shots at concerts, theme parks, and various other events.

    I love everything about the Oakley HSTN Meta glasses. The open-ear speakers are incredibly convenient and mean I never have to worry about forgetting my headphones. Being able to text, take calls, and listen to music directly from the glasses is a game changer. Meta AI is a great companion on the road, and the photo and video quality is outstanding. Stylish, practical, and genuinely useful.

    Honestly If you’re ine of those people who always thinks this looks nice but don’t wanna ruin the moment by pulling your phone out and taking time out your day to take pictures, these are perfect . I bought these before going on a cruise to the bahamas and was able to capture so much! they’re water resistant so i was able to wear them on the mini speedboat excursion, their battery lasted literally almost all day , if you’re constantly recording though expect somewhere around 5-6 hours or if you’re constantly listening to music around the same time ! the lenses seem pretty scratch resistant since i wore them near sand and got home with 0 scratches ! little tip for any transition lenses , leave them in the fridge before going out or somewhere cold like an ac vent and they’ll get dark almost instantly .

    Hands free at it's finest. Some added security. I had my windshield replaced a while ago. Later to find that the cover over the back of the rear view mirror was broken and propped back on to look like it wasn't. I found the broken off tabs on the floor of the car. I took it back to the glass place. While recording, I showed all the pieces to the first person I saw (actual technician). He said "this happens occasionally, let me get my manager". Manager came out & says this never happens. I showed him the video of what the actual tech said. He then angrily ordered replacement pieces.

    These have become my everyday glasses. Not only are they stylish, but they have an immense sense of capabilities. From the 3k camera resolution and being able to upload amazing quality photos directly to Facebook or Instagram with a just a few words, to the open-ear bone conduction speakers that make you feel like you’re suddenly in a concert hall but subtracts the headphones to keep you in the moment! All of this and I haven’t even gotten to the superpower of the glases- Meta AI!! I can ask Meta how calories I’m looking at on my plate, how tall a building is, what kind of flower am I looking at and does is this Poison Ivy? I absolutely love these glasses!

    I am blown away by the AI in these glasses. I went up to my tree and Said "Hey Meta, what am I looking at"... Meta responded... "It appears to be a tree." I then said, "What kind of tree is it?"... Meta had me take a photo with the glasses and then reaponded... "The tree you are looking at is a Silver Maple, Acer saccharinum". They can also translate languages for you. Crazy! The only CON I have is that they are hard to hear in loud scenerios like a ball game. The transition lenses are nice, but since they are Oakleys, I would get the sunglass versions. You can buy clear replacement lenses and switch them out for indoors.

    Super excited to get these they worked really great the first week and then just started having issues by the 2nd and 3rd week. Weren’t holding a charge even after charging still wouldn’t hold a charge. I hardly was able to use them because they wouldn’t hold a charge. Would not pair automatically like they did when I first got them. Making calls the other person could not hear me and I was told I sounded static or robotic. I tried to trouble shoot I unpaired them/ reset them made sure there were no recent updates nothing helped. These were very defective. I kept them for about 4 weeks and had to return them I couldn’t use them very disappointed. I will repurchase them and give another pair a try but having issues this early on wasn't worth the price.
