I’ve been having an absolute blast with these glasses! I didn’t expect them to become part of my daily routine this fast, but they honestly feel like the kind of tech you slip on once and then wonder how you lived without it.
The biggest game changer for me has been being able to snap photos and quick video clips of my kids without even pulling out my phone. Those little moments, bike rides, basketball practice, backyard chaos, I’m actually catching them now instead of fumbling for my camera and missing it. Just look and tap. It feels so natural it’s almost like cheating.
And the lenses themselves? Super fun. The transition has this cool vibe where they still look stylish indoors and then shift outdoors with this subtle, almost futuristic tint. I’ve had multiple people ask what they are because they stand out in a good way.
The audio blew me away too. Calls sound crisp, music is surprisingly full for open-ear audio, and I can still hear what’s going on around me. Walking around with a soundtrack without feeling closed off is perfect for a parent.
One more thing that deserves a shout-out: the AI features. Quick commands, hands-free controls, and the way it ties everything together make the glasses feel way smarter than I expected. It never feels gimmicky and is genuinely helpful.
Overall, these glasses are just fun. They’re stylish, they’re clever, and they’ve given me a whole new way to capture memories with my kids without breaking the moment. I didn’t realize how much I wanted something like this until I put them on.

These Meta glasses are really cool. I do wonder what people would think if they saw me just wearing them out around with the little button glowing showing that I’m recording. I can see the benefit of these glasses in that they’re like an extension of your phone, camera, music. everything that your phone does but linked with Meta. First, setting up is easy. Download the Meta AI app and it will walk through it. I had no problem connecting it with Bluetooth to my phone and accessing the Wi-Fi. The fit of these glasses is a little tight, but not bothersome. They are big and thick frames which remind me of the early 2000’s style but I don’t think they look bad. The sound is great, probably my favorite feature so far. For listening to music or saying Hey Meta and hearing the weather report the sound is clear, crisp and there’s nothing in my ear. I haven’t seen the transition to purple gradient, but we haven’t had much sun where I am either. The case is what charges them; you can see the connecting points where the bridge of your nose sits – pretty cool! The case is heavy, but it’s a charging case so that seems right. Accessing the videos and pictures you take through the Meta AI app is simple and you can delete them from there or do what you like with them. It played my Apple music seamlessly and I was able to skip and pause through the button on the side. Overall, I think this is a new wave of tech that will stay around and improve with testing and time. These are fascinating glasses and if you’re into this type of thing you should definitely get some.

I have to say, these are AWESOME!
I have several other smart glasses, but these are really nice. First things first.
The hardware; these glassed feel like most plastic frame glasses, but they just have a different style to them. Matte on the bottom portion of the frames, and high gloss on the top and the rest. I would prefer all matte, but this is now they are out together. It's a nice design overall, and I think most will like them once they get them in hand. They don't feel cheap, and are well made. The speaker volume is very loud, and I was not expecting that at all with them being open design. Not just loud, but also crystal clear sound.
Cameras: They are actually really good, (I've attached a sample photo), it looks GOOD. You can take photos, and also take great video as well.
The ability to just say 'hey meta' and get things done is really cool, and I can see myself using this more than reaching up and touching the glasses to control them. While there are physical buttons, you don't need to use them. Just use your voice.
Overall I'd for sure recommend these, with only ONE con. The price. They are almost double other brands, and some will make a decision on just the price alone. I'd say, give them a chance to see if you like them. The price is high, but the product is SOLID.

I've been a user of the Meta version for over a year, this second generation of the tech has much better battery life, and 60fps video. They continue to add additional functionality like conversation focus which is good to see. The transitions lenses are great so you can keep the glasses on when indoors, which was an issue with my previous sunglasses version. Overall very good.

The Oakley smart glasses blend advanced technology with a sporty, elegant design. They feature high-quality audio built directly into the temples, allowing you to listen to music or take calls without needing additional earbuds. Moreover, they typically offer smart connectivity, integration with virtual assistants, and an ergonomic design that ensures comfort during extended wear. The battery life is respectable, and the build quality reflects Oakley’s renowned durability. Together, these glasses provide an innovative and highly practical experience for those seeking both technology and style in one device.
In addition, a notable point is that I’ve stopped using my smartwatch since I started using these smart glasses, as they are much more practical and convenient. With the Oakleys, I have access to smart features and connectivity right from the temples, making the experience much smoother and more efficient, effectively replacing the need for a smartwatch.

Stylish smart sunglasses combining Oakley’s premium optics with Meta’s AI features. The Prizm Deep Water lenses cut glare and enhance color brilliantly, especially near water. Comfort and fit are solid, and the camera and open-ear speakers work well for casual use.
However, video quality is average, battery life runs closer to 6–7 hours, and there’s no prescription-lens option. Overall, excellent for outdoor and tech-savvy users seeking high-end smart shades with standout clarity and style.

These are great! A bit on the expensive side but great quality. Love the quality of the lenses and view. Not as bulky as I expected, a little heavier than I'm use to but still very wearable all day. Good extra features such as picture taking, video, sound (I only wish the sound was louder and better quality). They should have used Shokz bone conduction tech to improve. Also, still trying to figure out what else I can do with these, but so far the big thing seems to be pics and videos. Really wish for more... Maybe software updates?

Excellent quality! The Oakley Mete sunglasses are lightweight, comfortable, and very stylish. The lenses provide great clarity and sun protection. Highly recommend!
Awesome Tech, Awkward Look: Meta AI Glasses Review

I was really excited to try out these glasses because I saw a chance to easily capture fun moments with my newborn son and my wife. The great part is, even when my hands are full holding him, I can still activate the camera to record video or snap a photo using the Meta AI voice assistant.
Speaking of the AI, the feature that lets you choose different voices for the assistant is pretty cool. I picked John Cena to handle my voice activated questions. Learning how the glasses work was also pretty simple. You can record videos up to three minutes long and take as many photos as you want, provided you have the storage to save your content. To activate the camera, you can use your voice, or just use the button on the top right temple: a long press records a video, and a short press takes a photo.
Plus, Meta AI is always connected to the internet through my phone, so it can identify what I’m looking at in real time and even give me some background info if I ask. Overall, I found the most value in having an option to capture a special moment at literally any moment's notice.
The one thing that's a bummer is the design. I honestly don't like how they look on me, which is why I really only wear them around the house when the baby is awake and playing, or when I'm walking the dogs around the neighborhood. I haven't been comfortable wearing them out in public because, for my taste, the design is just a little bulky and awkward.
Despite the design issue, they are still great smart glasses and they excel at that. They're awesome when I want to listen to a podcast or music but don't want to mess with headphones or drain the battery on another pair of earphones. They're great for capturing awesome, portrait style videos and photos in moments where I definitely wouldn't have had my phone out, and great for getting real time answers to questions about something I'm looking at or just a random thought that popped into my head. And the sound quality is great. You can hear everything clearly, even at lower volumes in quiet spots, but you can still hear what's going on around you even when the volume is turned up.
Overall, I really like the Meta AI glasses, but I'll definitely be holding out for a better design next time.

Bought as gift for my other half but he returned them. Although the features were great the shape/style did not appeal like other Oakley sunglasses. The features are fun especially ease listening to music or messages read without having to have earbuds or pull your phone out. The battery life is also longer than the Ray Ban Display Meta glasses and the frame is comfortable and of course better for your wallet.

I’ve been using the Oakley Meta glasses for a bit, and there are some things I really like about them. The battery life is better than I expected, the 3K video capture is sharp, and the lenses are solid—great clarity outdoors with Oakley’s usual quality. I also find the Meta AI integration surprisingly useful, especially for quick info or hands-free tasks. The build feels premium and definitely leans into a sporty, active look, which fits me well.
That said, they’re not perfect. The frames are pretty bulky and can get uncomfortable after a while, especially if you have a smaller head. They’re also pricey, and depending on the lens option, they don’t always block out bright sunlight as much as I’d like. The open-ear speakers are fine in quiet areas, but in noisy environments, sound leaks and clarity take a hit. I’ve also noticed a few quirks with the software—accidental button presses and some features that feel limited. Plus, there’s no real prescription lens support, which is a big drawback if you need it.
Overall, I’d say the Oakley Meta glasses are a solid choice if you’re outdoors a lot, want better video and battery life than other smart glasses, and don’t mind the bold design. But if comfort, discreet styling, or prescription lenses are must-haves for you, they might not be the best fit.

This pair was my first AI glasses and I loved it at first. The audio was sharp and clear (did lack bass though), camera is high quality for a wearable tech, and Meta ai is getting smarter everyday. The fit is great but doesn’t look good for my face shape. The only reason why I returned these is because I wanted to upgrade to the Meta-Ray Ban Display Glasses. Other than that, highly recommend

I recently got the Oakley Meta glasses with Grey Transitions Lenses, and I’m genuinely impressed, these are easily the best everyday eyewear I’ve ever owned. It has a premium look without feeling bulky or overstated.
One of the standout features is the built-in camera. Being able to take photos hands-free is incredibly convenient. Instead of pulling out my phone, I just tap the frame and capture the moment instantly.

I’ve been using the new Meta sunglasses for a few weeks now and I’m seriously impressed! The sound quality is crystal clear, calls are easy to take hands-free, and the built-in camera captures great moments without needing to pull out my phone. The battery lasts longer than expected, and they look just like stylish everyday sunglasses — not bulky or “techy.”
Perfect for driving, walking, or even working around — I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who wants convenience, style, and smart features all in one.

If you find the HSTN chunky looking, get the clear frames. Build quality is a step up from the last gen Meta Ray Bans, especially around the hinges. Folding is nice and solid. Battery life is noticeably improved. My only gripe with these is the bulky case with snap magnetic top. It's nice and well built but a pain to fiddle with one handed. They snap close like an AirPods case while you're pulling out or putting in the glasses. And you know Meta has a better solution with the folding case that come with the Display glasses. Those should become standard across the lineup.

Battery life isn't bad. And if the battery gets low on the glasses, throw it in the case for an half hr and its back to a 100%. The AI is impressive. Helped in my most scariest time with my dog. It explained to me that the symptoms my dog was experiencing was a seizure and urged me to seek medical attention for him. Explained why a certain tree fell in my yard by looking at the break in the tree and asking "why this tree fall". Hooping with the glasses is cool for causual games, not competitive games. Glasses. Cant seem to stay still and bounce around too much but i guess that varies upons who is wearing. Resolution great. Sound great. If tou was to get on a call in a nosey background, the noise cancellation.

They are 70% comfortable. I would have liked the tint to be darker and the transition to be faster. One of the main reasons I returned them was that they didn't darken enough inside the car. Another point is that my lifestyle didn't really benefit from this technology.

I was extremely thrilled once I put them on ! The prism lens these carry make everything feel more HD and AI enabled is easy to use ! I use these for everyday use !
