The Oakley Meta Smart Glasses Are Official With Improved Specs

After being teased earlier in the week, Meta and Oakley have now announced a new collaboration and the launch of the Oakley Meta smart glasses.

The new smart glasses include similar features to the previous Ra-Ban version, but are instead designed with athletes and sports in mind. They also include some upgraded specifications to go with the new look, too.

Meta announced the new smart glasses via a press release, saying that the Okaley Meta HSTN glasses combine “bold style with cutting-edge tech.”

Our first product for athletes and fans alike, Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn), based on the HSTN style of Oakley glasses, combines bold aesthetics with cutting-edge tech. Capture the action completely hands-free with the built-in camera and share your unique POV. Get pumped up with your favorite playlist, listen to podcasts and more, thanks to powerful open-ear speakers seamlessly integrated into the frames. And with an IPX4 water resistance rating, you can push yourself to the outer limits of your potential.

In terms of the specs, the new glasses can run for up to eight hours per charge and up to 19 hours in standby mode, while a single 20-minute charge will bump a dead battery to 50%. The included charging case also offers up to 48 hours of battery life on the go.

Meta also notes that the cameras are now 3K parts, offering “Ultra HD” video capture. The company also highlighted the athletic focus of the new product. “For example, you can level up the competition in a whole new way when playing a round of golf,” the company explained via that press release.

Need to know how the wind is going to affect your drive? Ask, “Hey Meta, how strong is the wind today?” and channel your inner Team Oakley Athlete J.R. Smith. Or, like Boo Johnson, record epic moments and post to Stories, hands-free, by saying, “Hey Meta, take a video.” Get answers to a range of questions, whether you’re improving your game or checking the surf conditions.

The new Oakley Meta HSTN will be available for preorder on July 11 and will cost $499. That’s for the limited-edition model, but if you want to wait you can get the standard version for $399 later this summer.
