Oakley Meta HSTN Smart Glasses – Brief Review
Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses launched in India late last year, targeting performance-focused users like athletes, sports enthusiasts, and tech lovers. Priced from ₹41,800, they blend Oakley’s iconic sporty design with Meta’s AI-powered smart features.
The glasses feature a 12MP ultra-wide camera (100° FOV) with 3K video recording, open-ear speakers, and a 5-mic array for clear calls and voice commands. Built using Oakley’s lightweight O-Matter frame, they are comfortable for all-day wear and suitable for workouts, travel, and daily use.
Powered by Meta AI, users can activate voice commands using “Hey Meta” to get information, control media, or perform tasks. The glasses offer up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge and up to 48 hours with the charging case, which is a big improvement over Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
They come with IPX4 water resistance, making them safe from sweat and light rain, though the charging case lacks water protection. The companion Meta AI app allows customization, media management, and integration with apps like Spotify, Strava, and Apple Music.
Verdict:
Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses deliver better battery life, superior video quality, and a premium performance-focused design compared to Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While they are expensive and have thick frames, they are a solid choice for users who want stylish, AI-enabled smart eyewear.
