- Meta’s Oakley glasses are ready to pre -order before a launch of July 22
- Limited edition glasses will cost $ 499 / £ 499 / $ 789
- Cheaper oakleys should arrive “later this summer”
The wait is finally over. Meta’s smart glasses from Meta are finally available to pre -order before their launch of July 22, although there is a catch. Only HSTN in a more expensive limited edition is available for the moment; Other drawings come “later this summer” (it is the summer of the northern hemisphere for our Australian readers, so later this month or August).
The limited edition Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced comment-stuhn) is pre-order on Meta.com for $ 499 / £ 499 / $ 789 at. In exchange, you will obtain white framework specifications with PRIZM 24K polarized objectives, which are apparently well suited to the practice of sport in brilliant conditions.
Beyond their capacities as regular glasses, these clever Glasses are up to this descriptor by boasting of a camera that can capture a 3K video (a higher resolution than Meta Ray-Ban glasses), open-ended ear speakers for music and hear what the Meta-Ai-companion has to say to you (as well as microphones so that AI can hear you), and a battery that can last for up to 8 hours of regular use (once again Si-Bans Ray-Ban).
With their load case, these specifications can withdraw up to 48 hours of use.
Should you wait? Probably
Now, I haven’t tested these glasses yet, but I constantly use my Ray-Ban intelligent glasses and after my phone (and maybe my VR helmet), they are easily the best gadget I have.
And these Oakley specifications are only shelves with a different design, some technical upgrades and unfortunately a higher price.
Things should improve a little in the coming month when the other six conceptions of Smart Oakley glasses are launching. For the context, they are:
- Oakley Meta Hstn Desert with Ruby Prizm lenses
- Oakley Meta Hstn Black with Prizm Polar Black Lenses
- Oakley Meta Hstn Brown Brilliant with deep water goals Polar Prizm
- Oakley Meta Hstn Black with Amethyst Lenses transitions
- Oakley Meta Hstn Clear with gray transitions
Indeed, these specifications should introduce a new starting price of $ 399 / £ 399 / $ 629. However, this would always be higher than the cheapest Ray-Bans at $ 299 / £ 299 / £ 449 in, and just like the Ray-Bans, I expect Oakley specifications to become more expensive if you opt for the more Snaz Plus goals-the Ray-Ban rays instead of $ 329 / £ 329 / £ 379 / $ 539 for transition lons.
If you are athlete, the Oakleys could be a valid upgrade, especially with the Prizm objectives set to a sport you play.
Those of you who simply seek to obtain the best technology of intelligent glasses, however, could want to wait and see what Meta present at Meta Connect in September, where he should make his debut on smart glasses with a screen.
Yes, they will probably be very expensive, but they also offer a really new generation experience-so if you are tempted to upgrade your shelves of rays and the budget is not a concern, you may want to hold back a little longer (or be ready to buy oakleys, then another pair of meta-intelligent intelligent glasses).
