To reach “good enough,” Meta is making its smart glasses more accessible, more customizable, and comfier to wear.
On Tuesday, the company revealed three new pairs of smart glasses: Adventurer, Fury, and Starfire. The price starts at just $299, and while that matches the original price of Meta’s first-gen smart glasses, the price is markedly cheaper than the Ray-Ban Gen 2 glasses Meta launched last year. How did it get the price so low? Well, instead of Ray-Ban or Oakley branding to entice customers, these are just called Meta Glasses.
