Introducing Ray-Ban Meta Audio and More AI Glasses Styles
Meta announced a major expansion of its AI glasses, introducing Muse as a personal AI agent for hands-free task management and planning. The Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses mark the company’s first audio glasses, boasting 12 hours of listening, 48 extra hours with the charging case, and multi-color/style options. The Gen 3 Ray-Ban Meta includes longer battery life, a new action button, a 6-mic array for noise reduction, and a 12 MP camera with 3K video. Dolby Atmos spatial sound for videos is teased for later this year. The Mix & Match customization program and global rollout across Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Meta Glasses broaden accessibility. Availability begins with pre-orders, with shipments starting October 13, and price points from $249 to $449 depending on model. The collaboration with EssilorLuxottica underpins the expanded product ecosystem and world-market expansion, including new colors and editions tied to pop culture figures.
