Wow, so Meta’s thrown another pair of flashy specs at us, huh? Alright, picture this: Oakley Meta Glasses. Yeah, Oakley teamed up with—get this—a company named EssilorLuxottica. Not a joke, by the way. And these aren’t just any glasses. They’re some kind of tech-savvy Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn). Why the name? No clue, maybe it sounded cool in a meeting.
Okay, so here’s the deal: there’s this limited edition model that you can pre-order, with gold (fancy!) and 24K PRIZM lenses. That’s $499, people! Mark your calendar for July 11. Feels like I’m planning a wedding.
And the rest? They’re making us wait until… later this summer—whatever that means. But anyway, at least they’re slightly cheaper at $399. A bargain, right? We’ve got different vibes with lens combos like PRIZM Ruby, Polar Black… you get the idea. Might as well be flavors of ice cream, honestly.
Oh, and there’s more than just shiny looks! These glasses promise better battery life and sharper video than their old friends, the Ray-Ban Metas. It’s a “3K video” thing. Clearer pixels or something – tech wizardry I’ll never quite understand. Battery life? 8-hour usual use or 19 hours if you’re just… staring into space?
Did I mention there’s a charging case? Apparently, it stretches your wearing time to 48 hours—wild! They thought we needed five mics in these too, because why not take business calls through your glasses, right? Talking to Meta AI might be the future of casual convo. Who would’ve thought?
Water-resistant, they say. But don’t go diving with them, alright? Just a rainy-day kind of deal. And I almost forgot—geographic distribution! They’re accessible from a clutch of countries. US, Canada, UK, and others. Mexico and India are up next. Honestly feels like a global tour.
So, if you’re the impatient type, keep an eye on those pre-order updates through Meta or Oakley. Or just wait, and maybe be pleasantly surprised when they hit the shelves. Cheers!
