Meta VR Glasses, Ray-Ban Meta Audio, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3: Specs, Features, Prices
At its Meta Connect event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a handful of new smart glasses, including a slimmed-down VR headset and the company’s first camera-free glasses.
Meta's Ray-Ban Meta Audio smart glasses and the next-generation Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 smart glasses are set to hit the market, bringing new features and improvements to the company's smart glasses lineup. The Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses, priced at $349, are lighter and have better battery life compared to their counterparts. They feature a camera-free design, with an emphasis on audio capabilities.
The glasses come in 23 different color and style options, including popular frames like the Ray-Ban Clubmaster and Burbank. The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 glasses, starting at $449, boast 12-MP cameras, 3K Dolby Atmos-enabled video capture, and improved battery life, with up to 9 hours of usage and a new six-microphone array for enhanced sound.
The glasses also include a new hearing aid feature, known as Hearing Enhancement, which uses the speakers to amplify speech and audio around the wearer. Meta-branded Ray-Ban Gen 3 glasses are available now, with special edition aviator models priced at $579. The company has also teased a new product, the Muse Charm, a standalone AI agent that can use a camera to interact with the world around the user, but plans to finalize the hardware and release it by the holiday season.
