Meta Hits a Home Run With Its Cutting-Edge Oakley Meta HSTN Glasses: Doubling Battery Life and Capturing 3K Video

The whispers have been circulating for months, and now it’s confirmed. In an exciting collaboration, Meta has teamed up with Oakley to create their latest, feature-rich smart glasses.

With a battery life that outscores its predecessor, the Meta Ray-Bans, by a factor of two, these glasses are a force to be reckoned with. They boast the capability to capture stunning video in 3K resolution. Modeled on Oakley’s HSTN design, they are billed as Meta’s inaugural product purpose-built for sports enthusiasts and fans alike. The limited-edition, gold-accented Oakley Meta HSTN is priced at $499 and will be available for preorders from July 11. The rest of the collection, with an entry price of $399, is slated for release across the summer.

The Oakley Meta HSTN glasses offer an impressive lifespan of up to eight hours with regular use and can languish on standby for an incredible 19 hours. The quick charging capability means they can power up to 50% in just 20 minutes. Need more convenience? They come with a portable charging case that delivers an astounding 48-hour power backup. Impressively, these glasses are available in six frame and lens combinations, all of which can be paired with prescriptions. Some pairs even feature Oakley’s Prizm Lens technology, which provides optimized viewing capabilities in varied lighting and weather conditions.

Launching initially in fourteen countries including the U.S., Canada, U.K., and several European nations, Meta plans to extend availability to Mexico, India, and the UAE later this year. With its eye on the global market, Meta could just have hit a game-changer.
