The new Ray‑Ban Meta Audio glasses pair voice‑only AI assistance with a sleek, lightweight design, launching at $349 across several style options.
Meta has launched Ray‑Ban Meta Audio glasses, a camera‑free, lightweight frame that blends voice‑only AI assistance with iconic eyewear design, priced at $349.
Design and Build
The glasses feature a slim, metal‑rimmed frame available in classic Ray‑Ban styles, including the iconic Wayfarer and Round models. They weigh under 30 grams, making them comfortable for all‑day wear without the bulk of traditional smart glasses.
Audio and AI Features
Embedded speakers deliver spatial audio directly to the ears, while a built‑in microphone captures voice commands for Meta’s AI assistant. Users can ask for directions, set reminders, or control smart home devices without needing a handheld device.
Privacy and Controls
Because the glasses lack a camera, Meta emphasizes privacy, offering a physical mute button that disables the microphone instantly. The device also includes a transparent LED indicator that lights up when the microphone is active.
