I replaced my Meta Ray-Bans with the Oakleys for a week - and they're better in every way
Meta Oakley HSTN Limited Edition smart glasses target athletic users with improved battery life, durability, and imaging. The glasses provide eight hours from a single charge and up to 48 hours with the fully charged carrying case. The design meets IPX4 water-resistance standards for outdoor activity. Video capture is upgraded to 3K resolution from 1080p, while a 12 MP ultrawide camera and side-embedded camera sensors enable POV recording. Built-in microphones, speakers, and AI features support hands-free music, messages, assistance, photography, and video during exercise. The glasses emphasize comfort and durability for extended active use.
"As a glasses wearer, photo fanatic, and AI reporter, it was an absolute no-brainer for me to purchase the Meta Ray-Bans. After months of trying them, I was mostly impressed. My biggest qualm was the battery life, which only lasted four hours. Also: Watch out, Meta: Samsung just confirmed its smart glasses plans (with some spicy hints) So, when Meta announced the Oakley version would have eight hours of battery life, I was immediately intrigued."
"First and foremost: more power There 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. However, this means that the glasses have to be comfortable, durable, and have a battery that lasts the duration of your activity. Also: CES 2025: The 8 most advanced smart glasses we tried - and were impressed by Meta executed on all of these fronts with Meta Oakley HSTN Limited Edition glasses, packing an eight-hour battery life from a single charge (up from four on the Meta Ray-Bans) and up to 48 hours with the fully charged carrying case, according to Meta."
