Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the productivity of it, but the glasses itself fit very tightly against the head. I can’t seem to keep them on for too long.

Everytime I used the bluetooth function I got a headache. And it was tight on my head.

They didn't have transition lenses. Only had polarized

Not worth the price we’ll wait till they come down

These are nice shades. The camera feature is nice too…

Hello everyone, I want to share my experience. I bought these glasses and they only worked for me for 1 night and then I just couldn't connect to the program. What I didn't do anymore was restore them again, connect to a 2nd device and it wouldn't connect and I just gave them away.

Battery isn’t as good as they say speakers fail, video quality is poor for the price, and if you attend a call and there’s some sort of noise you cant hear your call, the support team is horrendous

TLDR: Photochromic water resistant sunglasses with bluetooth connection to smartphones with built in processor for AI functions, takes pictures, video, plays music, responds to queries, and identifies things captured by its 12 MP video sensor. Lasts 5 hours for constant music, 8 hours per typical use per charge, charges in its case, requires a smartphone for internet connectivity, requires a Meta account & the Meta AI app on the phone, Android 10+ / iOS 15.2+ Lenses change from clear to amethyst dark. These HSTN (which some say mean “Hasten”) glasses will allow users to take pictures, record video, listen to music and ask for answers from the built in Meta Artificial Intelligence AI when connected via bluetooth to your smartphone. It also allows translation of other languages live, and is ready to provide answers to anything heard or via the cameras. The hands-free 12 MP camera responds to “Hey Meta” or by a finger press to take pictures or start a video. The temples contain tiny open-ear speakers to hear music, answers to queries and phone calls by tapping or hands free. Sound is quiet and very discrete but not easy to hear in noisy areas. Being they are open ear, you still can hear important sound cues in your area . A fully charged HSTN glasses can last up to 8 hours of typical use or a rated 5 hours of continuous music playback. The charging case has a battery that allows 48 hours of charging before it needs to be charged. The Transitions Clear to Amethyst Transitions lenses in this example can be swapped out with others called Prizm, Prizm Polarized, Clear and Transitions. The kit includes the Oakey Meta HSTN Glasses, the Charging Case, a lame Cleaning Cloth, and a Reference Guide. I found that the outdoors sunny climate transition to a darker state is not that quick nor fully dark.. I wonder if these lenses are still bound by the 1990s technology where these types of lenses become very dark only when outside in the winter when it is cold outside. Will they get darker in the cold? I will need to wait for the colder weather to arrive since it is still warm now. The lenses also do not get very dark when worn in a car and the windshield is blocking some of the sun rays as all glass does. The functionality of the AI is impressive. One can aim the glasses at any item in a store and it will verbally identify it via image or via UPC codes. Bringing up phone calls to dial, answering calls and conducting conversations is easy using my Android 14 phone which I paired the HSTN to. Highly recommended.

I love these glasses and use them daily. However, not perfect they do have some good and bad points. Here are my highlights and low lights on this item. Good: 1.light weight for what it has packed into it. Wear for long periods and do not feel any fatigue like I thought I would 2. audio is good for the size and location of the speakers 3. Meta works great for answering questions and identifying items within view 4. fit is great for me. does not squeeze or feel tight anywhere while wearing them. 5. video and pictures will transfer automatically when you place them back in the case (with option turned on) 6. can change the audio assistant to many different voices and speeds 7. 32gbs of non removable memory is plenty for the resolution it captures at. 8. can capture vid for 1 or 3 mins using 1080 or 3k resolution with a few framerates 9. charge case has a good battery and I have used my glasses off and on for a week with no case recharge. Bad: 1. only has limited amount of languages it can translate, without the ability to add or remove the built in ones. 2. location of action button gets in the way when putting them on or taking them off. I am constantly either starting a video or taking a picture when I am putting them on or off. 3. transition lens are slightly correcting. so it looks like you are putting on prescription glasses on for a few mins. 4. transition lens do not darken in many cases. facing away for the sun, in the car, sunrise or sunset, and shaded areas. So unless you are staring directly in the sun on a non overcast day, you are out of luck. 5.hard to get out of the case with out getting fingerprints on the lens or activating pic/video 6. location of speakers make phone calls more of a group event as they are angled past the ear area making you turn up the volume to hear anyone 7. LED is too bright and fades one side of the video/picture if not in a fully bright lit area 8. version 19.2 meta was suppose to up the video record time to 5 mins. Still stuck at 3 mins currently 9. pic/vid come out yellowish orange (can be corrected in post) so it looks like a 1970's polaroid in a lot of cases. As you can see, there are a few improvements needed. But in the long run, this a great device to capture the moment or assist in handsfree recording when out and about.

Transparent to see black insulated flex wires, too tight for long period of time feel like it squeeze my head, after hours of play music and regular recording seem to produce heat to the touch.

Terrible best but experience. Purchased these using gift cards that I've accumulated from work. I realized the Oakley's don't have the same features so I returned them and they refunded the money to the gift cards that I no longer have!!! I left without the glasses AND my money smh

very loose and the transition lens are slow to transition

They gave me a refurbished glasses so I sent them back to meta cause they stop working and didn’t have the plastic on the arm bands when I first got the

The Oakley Meta HSTN sunglasses look and feel even better in person. As soon as I took them out of the box, I could tell they were high quality. The frame feels sturdy but not heavy, and the fit is really comfortable. They look like regular Oakleys, just with a little extra tech built in, which I love. The open-ear speakers have clear sound that’s easy to hear without blocking out everything around you, and the camera quality is a lot better than I expected for something this small. The setup was quick, and everything connected easily. The battery lasts a good amount of time, and the charging case makes it simple to keep them powered. The design has that classic Oakley look that works for everyday wear driving, walking, or just being outside. My husband really likes how they fit and said they feel secure even when moving around. Overall, these are a fun mix of Oakley quality and smart tech that actually works and feels worth it. Unless you are up and close, you really don’t notice w the camera.

I think the build quality should be better for the price

I was hoping that Oakley would make smart glasses that actually looked like regular sunglasses. These are definitely not them. They are bulky and weird looking.

Big clunky. If you’re not in the medical universal or don’t have social media, they kind of suck. They OK remember version I would assume it’s just as good. Upload take forever so that that’s also an issue. I returned them.

I am still without my item and no help from Best Buy on replacement or refund.

Microphone doesn’t work! Best buy son want to replace

In the box is the charging case and glasses. The product box unfolds flat and there are instructions and QR code to download the Meta App directly on the box. Disclaimer – I currently own multiple pairs of Meta sunglasses, so I am familiar with Meta App and the glasses functionality. First Impression – The glasses are so much lighter than my previous pairs of Meta glasses. Also, the lenses are transition and I love the finish of the glasses frame as they are a glossy shiny material and do not get dirty easily. The hinges of the frames are reenforced and the arms sturdy, when I open them halfway, they stay halfway. The frames actually fit my face and they are not tight fitting. The buttons are familiar and there is a dedicated shutter button on the right side (at the top). The volume, mute, start and stop button are also on the right and its a touch sensor button. There is also a dedicated on and off button on the interior left arm. I really like the lenses because now I can use one pair of the glasses instead of having to carry two pairs of glasses for indoor and outdoor. The lenses also doesn’t fog up. (I am outdoors in the hot and go inside to the cold and they haven’t fogged up.) There is also no nighttime glare while driving when the oncoming lights of other cars are driving by. The transitions part of the lenses are really quick with going dark and transitioning back to clear. The best part of about the glasses is the battery life. Out of the box, I charged the glasses for about an hour and there was a green light to indicate the glasses were completely charged. I have been wearing them at least 8 hours the first day and then I wore them all day the next day and I decided to take them off when I went to bed. During that time I answered calls and watched videos, so there was constant audio and I never got a low battery indicator. After wearing the glasses for about 6 hours or so, I started to have a little pain on the top of my ears, so I plan to take the glasses to have them properly adjusted. The glasses do take great photos with the 12 MP ultra-wide camera for HD photos and videos. And with the Meta AI, you can basically be handsfree with the glasses. You basically ask Meta to do things like call someone or take a photo or you can go ever further and ask questions. Overall, I really enjoy this product and I find myself wearing them even more than my previous pairs of Meta glasses. I would recommend this product to friends and family and I would definitely purchase again.
