Meta partnered with EssilorLuxottica to unveil our redesigned Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Starting at $299 USD, with availability online and in stores beginning October 17.
Capturing Moments, Hands-Free
Since launching the first-generation glasses, users have documented music festivals, birthdays, graduations, and countless everyday adventures without ever picking up a smartphone. Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses let you snap photos or record up to 60-second 1080p videos from your point of view, so you stay immersed in the action rather than behind a screen.
Audio and Voice
- Custom speakers with extended bass and higher maximum volume

- Five-microphone array for immersive, spatial sound recording in every direction
Photography and Video
- Ultra-wide 12 MP camera for sharper photos and 1080p video up to 60 seconds
- Simple “send a photo” voice command for instant sharing with friends and family
Performance and Battery
- Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 Platform for faster compute and superior media processing
- Sleek charging case holds eight extra charges—providing up to 36 hours of use
Style, Comfort, and Customization
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses now weigh less and have a slimmer profile, making them more comfortable for all-day wear. They’re also IPX4 water-resistant and feature a refined touchpad with instant interaction feedback.
