Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been really happy with the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses so far. The design is sleek, comfortable, and feels exactly like what you’d expect from Oakley—lightweight, secure, and great for everyday use and workouts. The built-in tech works smoothly and adds a lot of convenience without feeling intrusive. That said, I can really see these getting even better over time. As the AI continues to learn and improve—especially with more running-specific data like pace, form, distance, and performance insights—I think these glasses are going to be next level for runners. The foundation is definitely there, and future updates have a lot of potential. Overall, I’m very satisfied with them now, and excited to see how much better they become as the AI evolves. Solid purchase and a glimpse into the future of smart fitness gear.

These glasses are a must-have for active lifestyles! The camera quality is sharp and crystal clear. The 3k mode really showcases what I am seeing in great detail. The voice commands are ok, but I used the button more often. The open-ear audio is perfect for music and calls without blocking outside sounds. Battery life is solid, and the fast-charging case is super convenient. At my last Spartan Race, the glasses lasted for about 4 hours. Not ideal for really long runs; my race was about 14 miles and took me 6.5 hrs to complete, but if I had the case with me, I could have charged them up between the obstacle challenges (which was the main reason for recording during this race). However, I didn't bring it because it was too bulky for my water vest. One thing I learned you can save on battery usage is to keep the glasses disconnected from your phone and disabling voice commands. However, disconnecting from your phone means that the glasses cannot offload the photos and videos, so the internal storage may fill up fast if you are recording in 3k for a max of 3 mins each time. Also, while taking a photo to see what my experience would look like while wearing my hat, the front brim of the hat covered some of the photo. I decided to wear my hat backwards so as not to get it in the shot. Great fit for running, OCR, cycling, and hiking. Worth every penny! Pros: Excellent photo and video quality Comfortable, secure fit for sports Clear open-ear audio for music and calls Fast-charging case with long battery life Hands-free voice commands Cons: No expandable storage/SD card slot No landscape photo mode Cannot wear a hat with these glasses, or you will see the brim in the video/photo. Bulky charging case Low-light performance could improve

I have had the glasses for a month now and i absolutely love them...i wear them almost everyday and i take quite a few pictures and videos with them...i also listen to music on them, i love that you can set up spotify on the tap on the side of the glasses feature and it will automatically start playing spotify and if you tap it again it will stop the music..you dont have to pull out your phone and you can do it all by tap or voice! The only thing i would say is that I wish the battery lasted longer but with the minimum amount of space in the glasses and the technology its as good as it can be I believe!

Really great cycling glasses. Not too dark for commuting but good visibility. Speaker lacks bass but sounds pretty okay, just need to select the right songs for speakers. The real key here for me is the high speed phone microphone. With these glasses I can chat with my wife/friends at upto 28 mph without the wind noise irritating them. As someone who values multi-tasking, this is key to me getting a morning ride in while also getting some family calls done. Video quality is cool for taking videos of the family/people but sucks for outdoor capture. The long (phone style) camera ratio sucks when you're on a bike because it captures the road but none of the surroudings. In terms of the AI features. Meta AI is pretty terrible compared to the leading brands. Its useful enough for being able to skip songs, take pictures without having to pull my phone out on a ride. So that's a mild improvement. Don't expect to be able to have real AI conversations with it... I'd love to be able to switch it over to google gemini or chatgpt.

I love these. But they do have some flaws. Problems connecting to social media & battery dies pretty quick if your listening to music. The picture and video quality is superb! Being able to ask A.I anything while going about day to day tasks is pretty awesome!

Been wearing these Oakley Meta Vanguards for about a month now and they have quickly become part of my everyday carry. The audio quality is surprisingly good for open-ear speakers, and the Meta AI integration is genuinely useful for quick voice commands. Photo and video capture is seamless and the Prizm 24K lenses look incredible. They feel just like regular Oakleys in terms of weight and comfort, which is exactly what you want.

Now this was a worthwhile haul. I love that it's so big on my face and gives me full protection from the sun. It's stylish and I get compliments all the time on it. The camera being in the middle is a bonus because i don't have to wonder if something is in view completely. The battery life is longer than previous iterations and the water resistance is an added feature. In the cold though it does diminish. Overall an excellent find especially with the longer recording time

The Oakley Meta glasses work as intended but if you are a serious cyclist you won’t be happy with the 3-5hr battery life. You will never get the advertised battery life unless you don’t use the music. The volume greatly affects the battery. On windy days, you will be luck to get 3hrs. Needless to say they are heavy compared to regular glasses. Make sure your helmet doesn’t set low because that can really hurt your nose due to the large frame size. They sound great, take good pictures, and Meta can understand you even in the wind.

Love the color, the design, works great being outdoors. good quality photos and videos.

I’m honestly impressed with the Oakley Meta sunglasses. The sound quality is clear and immersive, the camera is super convenient for capturing moments hands-free, and they still look and feel like premium Oakleys. Comfortable for all-day wear, seamless Meta integration, and perfect for workouts, travel, or daily use. These exceeded my expectations and are easily the coolest tech accessory I own.

Have had a couple of Bose including the tempo and shockz road. These ones are truly my favourite for fit and audio. I don’t really use the camera so can’t comment on it too much but the few pics I take have been good although if you wear a hat then the brim will be seen at the top of all pictures.

The glasses were a great fit to the face. Durable and comfortable. I would recommend better instructions for its use/ capabilities.

Very comfortable, they are not that heavy like people are saying, really nice camera and because its a center camera has better angle of film than others metas. Nice quality ver nice built.

I absolutely love these glasses. The gold finish looks premium without being flashy, and they’re incredibly comfortable for all-day wear. They feel solid, well built, and instantly elevate any outfit, whether I’m driving, out casually, or just running errands. The lenses are clear, the fit is great, and they strike that perfect balance between style and function. Easily one of my favorite pairs of glasses I’ve owned. Highly recommend!

Fantastic quality! Light weight and a smooth design. You Absolutely proved me wrong in my skepticism. Thank you.

Best glasses I’ve ever bought. Fit perfect. The video and pictures are amazing. I love them

Video and audio quality was awesome. Glasses look completely normal and great for fishing

Purchase these glasses for a trip to Mexico associated with work. Lynn’s quality is typical Oakley very good. No complaints there. Video and picture quality both are very good for a camera this small, integration for WhatsApp is flawless I am able to receive notifications of incoming messages through other messaging services however cannot reply to iMessage or signal Sound quality is far better than I expected for my glasses base system. Having the ability to communicate, take photos, etc. hands-free as a welcome change.

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.

Fantastic product, I just love how everything works. Sleek design great product overall.
