In a bold move within the wearables sector, Meta has launched Oakley HSTN smart glasses, bringing together sports performance design with next-gen technology. Priced at $399, the glasses mark a new chapter in Meta’s hardware journey — this time focused on hands-free, screenless interaction.
The standout feature is its ability to record video in 3K resolution, allowing users to capture moments in high detail while staying mobile. Designed with athletes and outdoor enthusiasts in mind, the glasses also come with AI-powered voice control, music playback, and call handling, all without needing a traditional display.
Other notable specs include:
- Enhanced battery life, offering up to 8 hours of continuous use
- Water resistance, making them ideal for a variety of environments
- Meta AI assistant built directly into the frame
Adding a touch of exclusivity, Meta is releasing a limited-edition gold-detailed version for $499. This premium version will debut ahead of other upcoming models, which are expected to feature multiple color and lens options tailored for different style preferences.
Unlike previous models created in partnership with Ray-Ban, the Oakley HSTN shifts focus to performance and sport. Oakley’s reputation in the athletic gear space aligns well with Meta’s vision of functional smart wearables that don’t sacrifice design or comfort.
The new launch forms part of Meta’s long-term plan to establish a stronghold in AI-integrated personal tech. While future iterations may include AR capabilities, the current Oakley HSTN glasses already provide a futuristic experience through seamless AI integration — no display, no distractions.
With this release, Meta underscores its ambition to redefine wearable technology, pushing beyond traditional glasses to deliver an all-in-one tool for modern, active living.
