Meta steps out from under Ray-Ban and Oakley labels with its first own-brand AI smart glasses, offering the rectangular Adventurer and sportier Fury at $299 plus a slim oval Kylie Jenner Starfire edition at $399. The three shapes come in 26 color and lens combinations with prescription and Transitions options, plus comfort upgrades like adjustable temple tips, while keeping the same 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, and Meta AI features as the second-generation Ray-Ban models; availability begins today across multiple countries.
Now you can get Meta Glasses not branded as Oakley or Ray-Bans for $299.
You're gonna see a lot of these out there (but probably won't notice them), that's a great price for this product (same hardware as gen 2 Ray-Ban Metas)
Today we’ve expanded our AI glasses portfolio with 26 more styles and colors.
Meta Glasses available today, starting at $299.
The in-house Meta Glasses start at $299, undercutting the Ray-Ban equivalents by about $80, and pack the same 12MP camera, open-ear audio, and Meta AI smarts including upcoming pedestrian navigation and expanded translations.
Meta is exploring audio-only glasses without cameras to hit even more accessible price points, though details on timelines or exact specs remain unclear for now.
Positive users like the $299 price and cool styles of Meta's new AI smart glasses with Kylie Jenner, while negative users call the product useless, criticize the celebrity tie-in as downmarket, and question Meta's motives.

@joshto @KylieJenner congrats my man!
@markgurman Kylie Jenner version is the new Beats by Dre move
The team worked tirelessly crafting every detail:
Comfort: adjustable nose pads, temple tips that can be easily shaped to your liking, utilizing a wholly new material, extremely lightweight.
Color: Beautiful range of colors and textures inspired by classic eyewear.
Today, we’re announcing a new line of Meta Glasses. Designed by our team at Meta, they are as beautiful and wearable as they are capable. Three iconic styles, 26 color variations. Including a model designed in collaboration with @KylieJenner
@joshto @KylieJenner Asian Fit?!🤞
@markgurman Would have to /pay me/ a lot more than that to even go near such a product.
We’ve always celebrated personal style and expression.
It’s an honor to work with a team focused on bringing innovation, and personal expression to millions of people through well-crafted products.
@pitdesi This pair has such a good voice quality. You can put it on, walk the streets with leaf blower in background and carry the conversation without shouting.
Just it is too bulky. After an hour, I think I reach the same stage as women in this post:
@chinmay 😂 i ended up getting used to it
@pitdesi explains why snap launched
@GroundedSanti
@markgurman I don’t think that people will take Meta’s efforts in the smart glasses seriously until Apple will launch theirs. I don’t know many people that are wearing these glasses. Once Apple will launch you will see them on everyone’s faces. Only then Meta’s sales will rise.
@andreasklinger Don’t know anyone who will buy $2200 glasses that look like that
@pitdesi What did you think of the AI? I was so disappointed that even with the form factor of the sunglasses and the unique first person videos, I ended up returning it.
@joshto @KylieJenner Nice work
@pitdesi I have only seen male wearing these glasses. While a generous reason could be that women like designer stuff (Prada) but I tend to believe that women designed Meta glasses to take revenge on tech bros.
@pitdesi Can someone who owns these give me some of their favorite uses? Is it just the first person video?
@idohodl @specs Don’t know, can’t imagine they’ll sell many
@WHDumonkInc They have a filming light
@markgurman A $100 markup just for the Jenner branding. Zuck really knows how to print money. 🌚
