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.
I would recommend this to a friend

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.

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.

The Oakley Meta sunglasses blend Oakley’s signature sporty style with smart tech from Meta. They offer crisp 3K photo capture, AI-assisted features, and solid battery life. Sleek, connected, and performance-driven—perfect for active users who want both function and flair.

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.

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 .

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!

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 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.

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.

The glasses are amazing! It’s an amazing tool for instant data. Very handy, and provide safety auto recording in case something happens and you don’t have time to take out your phone. Wish more apps could connect to them.

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.

OK DESIGN I LIKED THEM BUT THEY FELT HEAVY OVERALL. THEY WERE CONSTANTLY SLIDING DOWN THE NOSE BRIDGE. AND MY 2ND PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SHARP DESING ON THE TEMPLE FRAME WAS BEGINNING TO IRRITATE ON BACK OF MY EAR.

These glasses are my AI-enabled glasses. They have great sound quality. Also, the Meta AI assistant is really helpful when asking questions. The glasses are also great for outside since they are transitional lenses.

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.

They’re easy to use and continue to get new functionality. I use them primarily for listening to music/podcasts and trying pictures/videos of the pets.
