Meta Unveils New Smart Glasses in Collaboration with Oakley

Meta has unveiled a new line of sporty smart glasses developed in partnership with Oakley. The limited edition Oakley Meta HSTN is priced at $499 and will be available for pre-order on July 11, 2025. Other Oakley models will be released this summer starting at $399.

Similar to the Meta Ray-Ban, these glasses feature a front-facing camera, microphones, and open speakers. When connected to a smartphone, they allow users to listen to music or podcasts, make calls, and interact with Meta AI. With the inclusion of a camera and microphones, Meta AI can answer questions about the environment and translate text.

This model is primarily aimed at athletes. The glasses are moisture-resistant with an IPX4 rating and can operate without recharging for up to 8 hours—twice as long as the Meta Ray-Ban. With the charging case, battery life extends to 48 hours. The camera now supports recording in 3K resolution, compared to 1080p for Ray-Ban.

The series comes in five color options, and all models can be ordered with optical lenses for an additional fee. Frame colors available include gray, black, brown smoke, and transparent, with several lens options including photochromic.

The limited edition priced at $499 will feature gold accents and Oakley PRIZM lenses. Sales will begin in the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.

Additionally, Meta recently signed a multi-year agreement with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of the Ray-Ban and Oakley brands. Over two million pairs of Meta Ray-Ban have already been sold, and the company aims to sell 10 million Meta smart glasses annually by 2026.
