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


Meta's new Oakley smart glasses feature eight hours of battery life, capture 3K video, and most importantly, look great.

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETThere are many practical reasons an athlete would want to wear smart glasses, including hands-free access to music, messages, AI assistance, a camera, and video. 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 HTSN 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.
