    If you do not own a pair of these, you should! They are amazing! My son absolutely loves these and they are his favorite gift ever! These are the best smart sunglasses and a very sleek sporty design by Oakley!! He is also going to wear them on the baseball field so he can look back at his baseball games from his point of view! That alone is pretty cool!! Check them out for yourself!!

    I recently tried the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses, and overall, I’m impressed with the technology. The integrated audio is surprisingly clear, and I can listen to music or take calls without needing earbuds. The camera for photos and videos is convenient for capturing moments on the go, and the quality is solid for casual use. I also enjoyed exploring the Meta AI features, which made interacting with the glasses intuitive and fun. On the downside, the glasses feel a bit heavy after wearing them for long periods, and the battery life could be longer if you’re using both audio and the camera frequently. Overall, these smart glasses are a great choice if you’re looking for a hands-free audio and photo experience combined with AI features, but I’d recommend testing them for comfort before wearing them all day.

    The Oakley Meta Vanguard is a cutting-edge hybrid of sports gear and wearable tech. It excels when used as intended—during workouts, outdoor activities, and performance tracking—where its AI features, camera, and integrations genuinely add value. However, it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for everyday smart glasses or something budget-friendly, this might feel overkill. But if you’re an athlete, cyclist, or content-driven fitness enthusiast, it’s one of the most advanced options available right now. Rating: 4.3 / 5 ⭐ Best for: Athletes, cyclists, runners, and tech-savvy fitness users Not ideal for: Casual users or those needing prescription lenses

    I wnjoyed the unboxing exproence. There was quite a lot to unpack when i recieveed my package. The lenses are great, used it for flight training. Since its non polarized, I was able to use my ipad without the screen disappearing. Additionally, I enjoyed the different video settings on the glasses. Sometimes the 3k resolution is too crispy, the video wuslity starts to get buggy. Sound quality is surprisingly pretty good but don’t put it on full volume because it distorts the sound quality. The battery life is a bame chnager. That extra hour actually makes a difference.

    Really enjoy them. The only down side for me is that they fit a little tight. Not all heads are the same size lol hopefully they make different sizes next time.

    Was hesitant to purchase but was going on a cruise so decided to take a chance. They were excellent and I was able to capture pics/vids on the go easily. I also wore them during workouts/runs and they worked great for music as well as capturing images running. Surprising they stayed on my face easily during runs.

    Excellent for Cycling

    I’ve been using the Meta Oakley Vanguard glasses almost strictly for cycling, and for that purpose they have been great. They are IP67 rated, so they are dust and water resistant, and they held up fine during a rain storm on my last ride. On my typical four hour rides the battery makes it through with mixed use. I shoot short ten second videos, take a few photos, and turn music on and off during the ride. They have not died on me yet. For cycling they hit a sweet spot. The camera is steady enough for quick clips, the controls are simple while moving, and they save me from fumbling with a phone. I really don’t use them for anything else though. Walking around town or driving with them feels unnecessary, so they mostly stay in my riding kit. I’m hoping Oakley eventually releases a transition lens option. Living in the Northeast means a long stretch of gray days, and a lens that adapts would make them more useful off the bike. They are advertised as good for snowboarding, but they are not goggles, so I’m not sure how they would feel in real winter conditions. Overall, I like them a lot and would recommend them for anyone who wants a hands free way to capture rides. For cycling, they make sense. For everyday use, it depends on your style.

    As far as the glass they’re expensive but loving them so far. A few quirks here and there. My biggest complaint is the AI is somewhat immature but I know this will get better with time and future software updates. Best Buy guy that helped me was fantastic and took his time to explain the difference between the Meta glasses models so I could make the most informed decision.
