The quality an the everything just great best buy also had the quicker delivery so i came straight here

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.

Really amazing glasses, with high tech and amazing quality

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.

Awesome product which I like the most!! Let everyone buy it to use to enjoy with it.

I absolutely love my Meta Ai glasses. As a content creator they are the last part of my formula. Best Buy was a big factor in my purchase.❤️

Love the ease of it, clear af , gets crazy head turns Transitioning lense make it perfect for all day use

Got them foa my wife as a gift. She loves them i have the ray ban meta and they are awesome.

Overall, very nice. I like the fresh new feel, also the tech integrated in the glasses is phenomenal. 100% recommended

Good for everyday use! I really love how it looks and the transition lens's are the best!

Really nice glasses if you’re looking for new cutting edge technology! Music, video camera, and meta live responses and interactions all in one pair of sun glasses!

Great for shooting videos and for memories caught in the moment

Glasses are going to be the future of personal wear tech. There is something so liberating about having Meta AI, my music, texts, phone calls, the ability to take pics and videos all without a single piece of tech in my hands…no phone…just me and these Oakley Meta glasses….just remarkable. It’s so freeing and intuitive to just …Speak.. and boom! Out of the box, I could feel the quality of the build in both the glasses and the case. The case is solid, protective and a smooth tactile feel when in the hand. I cannot believe how small the case is considering it’s a full charger for the glasses that will give me up to 48 hours of charge. The glasses advertise 8 hours, but like any electronic device… the more you play music or record videos, the more it cuts into the time. The glasses themselves are thicker than normal sunglasses just a bit. There is a lot of tech to crunch into the frames. I have worn Oakley Gascans and some other bigger frames before but if your used to wire frames…it’s gonna be a big change. Overall, back to battery life, combining the batter life of the glasses with the case… Plenty of power for a day out and about or maybe two or three days! That was really important to me… a device that is only good for 2-4 hours…that’s just a novelty and not a real world use case. The glasses fit snug in the case and a little tricky to get out of the case. After a few days with the glasses, it is not super easy to get out of the case. I found that grabbing the corners where the arms fold on either side, then pulling up at the same time pops them out. I guess that’s good in a way… I would not want them falling out. The case and the glasses are snug enough and secure enough that I would not worry about putting them in a small bag or day pack and heading out. Setting up is remarkable easy as well. Scan the QR code and your off and running. NOTE: To really get all the amazing tech that the glasses can do you have to sign over a lot of rights to Meta. Like links to your google, phone contacts, music service ect. I just went for it because I am willing to give up some privacy for the convenience. And If Meta really cares so much about what little ole me is up to… to try to sell or build me a better experience…I’m ok with that. I liked the looks of the glasses strait away. I have the black with amethyst transition lenes. As noted above, the frames are a little thicker than any of my traditional bigger rimmed sunglasses but considering the tech that is crammed inside is just down right amazing. They feel solid and well built and incredibly light. The lens inside are crystal clear and what you would expect from Oakly… sharp and crisp! I am glad Meta partnered with Oakley instead of trying to deliver their own product direct. I am sure that will come but the partnership of a trusted brand like Oakley or Ray-ban is a big deal and helps ensure quality control and accountability of performance which I appreciate. When I put the glasses on and they feel great… a tinge tight but I think that is because they are brand new and have not been broken in. They sit securely and comfortably on my face. I can move around and I found that I would forget that I was wearing them. It’s weird but because they are transitions (this is my first pair of transitions) I went from eating my breakfast inside my house while listening to a podcast, to getting in my car to go pick up groceries seamlessly. They just went from clear as ice inside to being sunglasses without me even really noticing. Super cool. The audio is really impressive as well. Now if you want to really rock out with base or ANC, these are not for that but if you want great sounding music magically funneling into your ears… it’s like a real world soundtrack as I walked though my day… The Oakley Meta will blow you away…. I could hear everything around me but I could also hear my music overlaying it all. Magical. So, I played with the music and the transition lenses and I wanted to see how good it would handle the phone calls and voice to texts. A note about the lenes… I was afraid that they might be too purple but they are not, it’s a darker black with a hint of purple. I also wished they were a little darker when fully in the sun… It’s a minor gripe because they work amazing as sunglasses and I would rather have the transitions ability and not be as dark. I like blacked out lenses so people can’t see who or what I am looking at… People can see my eyes when I am wearing these. I called my spouse and I heard them clear as a bell and they me. The glasses have 5 microphones to make sure they pick up the audio. Texts were quick and responsive as well and I could send and receive with ease. The photo’s look good (12mp camera) and the video is also good considering these are sunglasses! The video can do 1080P @ 30 and 60 frames per second or 3K at 30 frames per second. It is smooth. If I was shooting for a work project, I would use another camera. But for personal stuff or to stream on insta…great tool. I shot a selfie in the mirror and it’s weird to not have a camera in the hand and watch the video play back. There is also a white blinking light when you are recording so people know you are recording. I could not find a way to turn that off anywhere. Probably for the best! The last thing though that really sets this device for the next big tech wave is Meta’s AI…. Next level stuff. “Hey Meta set SimpliSafe to home.” “Hey meta take a pic” or “Hey meta shoot a video”, play my pod cast, call my mom, ect ect… and she gets it fast and accurately! What’s the wind speed, where’s the closest gas station… Note… It can’t give direction which I thought was weird.. but will give an address and distance and even traffic conditions. I also love, “Hey meta how do you spell synchronicity” I am a terrible speller and that comes in handy… but it’s more than that… her tone and inflection and she even has a sense of humor which brings to mind the movie “Her.” The fact that I think of it as a “her” and not an it is a testament to their engineers. Interacting with these sunglasses is a very unique immersive experience that feels weirdly human and personal and just a little unnerving in a good way. I can see how the ubiquitous (another word Meta helped me spell lol) cell phones days are numbered in favor of the glasses. Overall Meta (the company) has put itself in an amazing position. Partnering up with Oakley and Ray-Ban to produce the most sophisticative wearable and functional glasses that are also high quality sunglasses that are also a cell phone on my face….Impressive. I have their Meta Quest 3 and love it. When they can combine their glasses with the AR/VR of Quest… our world will change. I would guess that will be sooner than later so go on and buy these glasses and buckle up.

Good quality and amazing resolution, perfect to recording your sports moments , trips . Beautiful photos at jetski.

Made it for a quick capture content, love the style of the glasses

Love these!!!! Love the transition lens color!!!!!

The Oakley Meta HSTN glasses are the second generation of smart glasses from Meta (Facebook). They are the first model available from the cooperation between Oakley and Meta. The Generation 1 Meta glasses were restricted to just Ray Ban frames. The HSTN's came next and now there are gen 2 Ray Bans and Oakley Vanguards. I have copies of the Gen 1 and 2 Ray Ban Wayfarers (which were great) but these were my first Oakley models. For those unfamiliar, the Meta smart glasses have a sound system, camera, and AI assistant built into familiar glass frames. They look like a regular pair of Oakley HSTNs, just a slight bit bigger and a camera on the front. The bigger size helps conceal the battery and electronics needed for them to perform. There is no display in this model. They use standard sunglass lenses that are either tinted or transitional. Then lenses can be replaced with prescription lenses too at additional costs. This pair was the black HSTNs with ruby transition lenses. The transition lenses go clear indoors and tint red outdoors. Functionally, the HSTNs work great. They come with a charge case for storing the glasses and recharging them. Oakley/Meta advertises 8 hours of operation on each charge of the glasses and I was getting very close to that in real life use. The case offers another 7-8 complete top offs of the glasses before needing to be recharged. I didn't test this, but I was able to recharge the glasses multiple times with plenty of battery power left in the case. The glasses link to the Meta AI app on your phone. I used the iOS version of the app. It was solid and performed well. The glasses power on and connect to your phone automatically. Once powered, you can play music, have the system read texts, or operate the AI assistant using the built in speakers in each leg of the frame. Volume is controlled either on your phone or by swiping forward or back on the right leg of the frame. There are speakers and microphones built into the frames. The microphones allow you to make and receive calls. The sound on the calls is pretty good and will get you by but it picks up a lot of background noise. The speakers are plenty loud, but if you dial them up too far, you get significant bleed where those around you can hear the sound. The right leg also has a single button. Press once to take a 12 Mp photo. Press and hold for up to 3k video. Both the photos and videos look great. They won't complete with your phone camera, but for something built into a pair of glasses, they look good. Photos/videos are stored locally and can be downloaded to your phone. The Meta AI works well. You can ask it about the weather, for directions, or even say "Meta, what am I looking at?" and the system will tell you. It's not groundbreaking, but for the basics, it works well. I was impressed with the performance. It's a big step up from the Gen 1 Ray Bans I had. The battery lasts twice as long and the video resolution increased from 1080p to 3k. Most of everything else is the same between Gen 1 and Gen2. The downsides of the HSTNs are they are a bit chunkier than non-smart glasses. The AI is not cutting edge, it does the basics, but not much more. But probably the biggest issue might be the HSTN design. They are polarizing. The Wayfarers are more traditional. The HSTNs much more design forward. You either love them or hate them. I don't vcare much for them, but my wife liked the look so she's getting to keep the glasses. The other issue is the size. The Ray Bans are offered in standard and large sizes. I have a bigger head and need the large size. The HSTNs are offered only in the standard size. They were a little tight on my head. Mosre size offerings would be nice. Overall, I highly recommend these if the design suits you. They work great, meet the battery endurance levels, and are really ahndy to have when a quick picture/video is needed.

A week ago, I opened my first pair of smart glasses. Super excited to try them out. Here is my experience over the last week trying them out. Unboxing and Setup: Everything fit in a small, clean box: glasses, charging case, cloth, one QR card. The app paired in under a minute. Live AI on, firmware updated, done. Case charged the glasses and were fully charged in about three hours. Fit & Feel: Light, secure, sporty black frames. I wore them on long walks, and a few other daily activities throughout the day. The high nose bridge works for my face with no slipping, no pressure. Although appearance wise, they look better on my wife, making me look a little nerdy with this style of glasses. Lenses: Clear indoors, soft amethyst tint outside in about 30–40 seconds. Back to clear just as fast. Full UV protection, no need to swap shades. Tint is subtle, not the bold purple as you might have seen in the ads. There is also no polarization, since glare seemed to show up on our dog walks near water. Camera & Capture: Amazing, that I was able to just easily tap to shoot a 12 MP photo or 3K video. Daylight results are sharp and easy to share. Low light seems to get a little noisy I noticed. I’ve now taken some POV clips on hikes, dog walks, and a few coffee runs. They exported instantly to my phone with no issues. Also able to share videos and photos easily with my wife. Audio & Calls: Speakers in the arms play music and podcasts clearly in calm settings. Actually, better than I was expecting. I noticed on a few of the days, that the wind picked up, the sound seemd to muddie a bit. So probably not the best on a really windy day. Tested the call feature as well and the calls seemed to come through really crisp with no issues. AI: Love the AI! This simple promt “Hey Meta” is amazing and got me quick answers whether I was asking for the weather, directions, reminders etc. Extremely cool feature that comes in handy throughout the day for whatever you are doing. Battery I was able to get around seven to eight hours of mixed use per charge. I would charge as needed. The case charger is easy and convenient protecting the glasses as well. Pros: Seamless lens transitions Tint is light and not dramatic (could be a con for some) Solid fit for active days Easy, high-quality daylight capture Reliable battery with case Hands-free AI that actually helps Cons: Wind kills the audio a bit Tint is light, not dramatic (could be a Pro for some) Frames look bold and slightly nerdy for my facial structure No polarization for bright reflections One-Week Verdict: The Oakley Meta HSTN turned a total beginner into a daily user. It’s not perfect, but it’s useful, fun, and stays out of the way until I need it. Already looking forward to planning week two to enjoy this new technology.

Is better than ray ban one, but is little bit small for me and have some dizzy while wearing this. Overall is pretty good

The Oakley Meta - HSTN glasses - Clear to Amethyst Transitions Lenses - Black come well packaged in a relatively small box. In the box, you will find: glasses, case, cleaning cloth, Get Started guide and Safety and Warranty document. You do not receive a USB-C cable which you need to charge the glass case. The glasses charge when placed in the case. When I opened the case, the glasses had a 78 percent charge. So you are ready to go. This is my third pair of Meta glasses. I have the Rayban Stories and Meta glasses. And now I have the Oakley Meta HSTN glasses. I will not get into comparing the different Meta glasses versions in this review. The Oakley Meta HSTN case is very sturdy and will protect the glasses well. There is a QR code on the box to get you started with the Meta app. I already had the app on my Google Pixel 10 so I was ready to go in no time. Pairing the glasses to my phone was a breeze. Using the glasses is a breeze. One touch on the right arm button for a picture. You can see the picture I took with the glasses. The Oakley Meta glasses have a 12 MP camera. The details are sharp for pictures and video. Long hold on the right arm button to start or stop a video. Play your music from your paired phone. Move your finger up and down the glasses right arm to turn up and down the volume. I was REALLY impressed with the quality of the audio when listening to music. This was a surprise for me as the other Meta glasses were just OK for audio. The glasses are comfortable to wear as I wore them for about 3 hours straight with no issues. After listening to music for about 3 hours there was still about 38 percent battery left. You can use these all day with no issues depending on what you are using them for. I tried to capture a few pictures to show the lenses in different stages of transition. I could not get the glasses super dark.. The transition feature is super cool and I really liked this feature. It is really nice to not take off and put on your glasses while moving inside or outside. These are not as dark as typical sunglasses. I did not have any issues in the sun. Pros/Cons: Pros: - Great battery life. The documentation stated 8 hours of battery life. My personal experience was I used 62 percent of the battery listening to music for 3 hours. - Great sturdy case - Awesome audio - Great quality pictures and video. See the attachment to the review for the specs of the picture. - Very comfortable. - Transition lenses work very well. - Well built and sturdy glasses Cons: - I am not a huge fan of the looks of the glasses. They look too sharp and angled near the nose area for my liking. Or maybe they just do not look good on me? This is a personal preference thing. You may love it. But please try them on and make your own decision. - The arms feel a little tight on my head. I never had a problem with a fatigue point. They were comfortable for many hours of use. They just felt tight to me. Maybe I have a big head? I also like the hook on the end of the arms to hold your ear. But these are the typical straight armed Oakley arms. In summary, I rate these Oakley Meta HSTN glasses 4 out of 5 stars. I am removing 1 star for the look and fit. This is a personal preference. You may be fine with these features. Overall, these are very impressive Oakley Meta glasses. The transition feature is GREAT!.
