    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!

    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.

    More coverage and longer recording times

    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.

    Next-Level Smart Sunglasses That Actually Deliver

    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.

    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.

    Great fit, very comfortable. Sound it very clear. Meta is a very cool feature. Use it to record my child while she runs around so i can watch her instead of constantly having my phone out.

    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.

    I’ve been using the Meta Oakley Vanguards for a while now, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. The video quality is impressive, capturing clear, sharp footage with vibrant colors, making it easy to record moments without having to pull out my phone. The glasses are also very comfortable to wear. They fit well, don’t feel overly heavy, and I can wear them for extended periods without discomfort. The overall build quality feels premium and durable, and the technology works seamlessly. Everything from the camera to the audio performs smoothly, making the experience feel natural and convenient. If you’re looking for smart glasses that combine great video quality, comfort, and solid craftsmanship, these are definitely worth considering.

    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!

    I honestly didn’t expect to use my Meta glasses this much, but they’ve become part of my everyday routine. Being able to capture moments with my kids, listen to music, take calls, and record hands-free is a game changer. The audio quality is surprisingly good, and the camera makes it so easy to catch real moments without always pulling out my phone. They’re comfortable, stylish, and actually useful not just a gimmick. As a dad always on the go, whether I’m running, out with family, or just living life, these glasses make everything more convenient. Battery life has been solid for me, setup was easy, and the AI features are really cool too.
