- Meta Oakley glasses are ready to preordinate before a July 22 launch
- Limited editing glasses will cost $ 499 / £ 499 / au $ 789
- The cheapest oakleys will arrive “at the end of this summer”
The wait is finally over. The Smart Smart Meta’s Oakley glasses are finally available to book before launch on July 22, although there is a trap. Only your most expensive limited edition hstn is available for now; Other designs will come “at the end of this summer” (that is the summer of the northern hemisphere for our Australian readers, so at the end of this month or August).
The Limited Edition Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced How-Stuhn) is at the request of Meta.com for $ 499 / £ 499 / AU $ 789. In return, you will get white frame specifications with PRIZM 24K polarized lenses, which apparently adapt well to practice sports in bright conditions.
Beyond their abilities as regular glasses, these elegant The glasses are at the height of that descriptor when counting a camera that can capture 3K videos (a higher resolution than the target glasses Ray-Ban), open ear speakers built for music and listen to what the target partner AI has to say (as well as the microphones so that the AI can listen to it) and a battery that can last up to 8 hours of regular use (again, better than its sister rays).
With your load case, these specifications can obtain up to 48 additional hours of use.
Should you wait? Probably
Now, I have not tried these glasses for me, but I constantly use my Ray-Ban smart glasses and after my phone (and maybe my VR headphones) are easily the best device I have.
And these Oakley specifications are only stripes with a different design, some technical updates and unfortunately, a higher price.
Things should improve a little in the next month or so when the other six Oakley smart glasses designs are launched. 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 Brown with Prizm deep polar polar lenses
- Oakley Meta Hstn Black with amethyst transitions
- Oakley Meta HSTN clear with gray lens transitions
This is because these specifications are configured to introduce a new initial price lower than $ 399 / £ 399 / $ 629. However, this would still be taller than the cheapest rays at $ 299 / £ 299 / au $ 449, and like the rays, Oakley specifications will get more glasses if you choose more SNAZZ lenses plus Snazz 329 / £ 329 / AU $ 489 for the polarized and $ 379 / £ 379 / AU $ 539 for transmission transatories.
If you are an athlete, the Oakleys could be an update that is worthwhile, especially with prizm tuned lenses with a sport that you prayed.
However, those of you simply seek to get the best intelligent glasses technology, might want to wait and see what goal shows in Connect goal in September, where intelligent glasses are expected to debut with a screen.
Yes, they are likely to be very expensive, however, it is also believed that they offer a truly next generation experience, so if you are tempted to improve your rays and the budget is not a concern, you may want to wait a little longer (or be prepared to buy Oakleys, and then another pair of intelligent target glasses).
