I spent a weekend with Meta's new Oakley smart glasses - they beat my Ray-Bans in every way

Meta's new Oakley smart glasses offer an impressive eight hours of battery life and can record 3K video, all while maintaining a stylish design.

If you are an outdoor enthusiast who is looking to document some of your adventures and have easy access to your phone, music, and an AI assistant, the added specs and design make the $499 investment in the Meta Oakley HSTN Limited Edition glasses worth it. If you are just looking for smart glasses you can use occasionally, without a particular need for extended battery life or shooting high-quality video, you may want to either stick to the Meta Ray-Bans, which start at $240, or wait until more models are made available later this summer at the lower price point of $399. The latest smart glasses by Meta feature key improvements that fulfill the shortcomings of the popular Ray-Bans, from the higher resolution video recording to the longer-lasting battery life.
