Unboxing Meta’s Oakley HSTN Smart Glasses

Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn) is a new line of AI-enabled glasses joining Meta Ray-Bans, but they’re coming with some notable improvements to go with their new design and slightly higher price. Let’s unbox the $500 limited edition version. #meta #metarayban #metaoakley #smartglasses #tech

The same thing with a different branding, we’ve seen the comparison between the battery life of the two, at least tell us battery life is an hour better.

  My rayban metas are expensive, the frame like 300 and the lenses prescription 850! I got the frame for free through Verizon for getting home internet and used my insurance at work so that was like 320 plus 30 more for the year replacement warranty whatever still expensive but i was able to do it. That being said there so damn nice, i ask a question and it actually answers most questions and being able to snap a quick picture or video is damn good. Sometimes im waiting somewhere and put a video on my phone and the speakers in my ear means i dont need to mess with my earbuds way worth it for me

So do these have AR in the lenses then? They look a bit thin. I bought raybans and returned them hoping for AR glasses. These don’t seem like they are?
