Meta has released Oakley sports smart glasses with 3K video recording

Meta has unveiled a new line of smart glasses developed in collaboration with Oakley, targeting active users and athletes. The first model, the limited-edition Oakley Meta HSTN, will be available for pre-order starting July 11 at a price of $499. Other models featuring Meta technology will be available later this summer, starting at $399.

Like the Meta Ray-Ban glasses, the new product is equipped with a front-facing camera, open-ear speakers, and built-in microphones. Once connected to a smartphone, the glasses allow users to listen to music, take calls, and interact with the Meta AI voice assistant. Thanks to the integrated camera and microphones, the artificial intelligence can recognize objects, provide voice prompts, and perform translations.

The Meta x Oakley models are positioned as sports smart glasses: they feature IPX4 water resistance and extended battery life of up to eight hours, with the ability to recharge up to 48 hours using the charging case. The camera now records video in 3K resolution—an improvement over the 1080p resolution of the Meta Ray-Ban.

The lineup includes five frame and lens options compatible with prescription lenses. Available colors include warm gray, black, clear, smoky brown, and others, including photochromic lenses. The limited edition model priced at $499 features gold accents and Oakley PRIZM lenses. The glasses will be available for sale in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, European countries, and Australia.
