Meta Unveils Meta Glasses, a $299 Line of AI Smart Glasses

The company hopes a lower entry price plus Muse Spark AI and a wide range of styles will help drive mainstream adoption of wearable AI.

Overview

  • Meta launched the Meta Glasses collection on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, selling three frame styles — Adventurer, Fury and Meta Glasses by Kylie — through Meta.com and major retailers starting at $299.
  • The new line uses the same core Gen 2 hardware for 12MP photos, 3K video, a multi‑mic array, open‑ear speakers and about eight hours of battery life with an extra 40 hours from the charging case.
  • Meta Glasses ship with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark to deliver live translation in 14 new languages, a new Dynamic Photo feature and forthcoming pedestrian audio navigation for display‑free frames.
  • Design changes aim to boost daily wear: 26 style and color options, three‑position adjustable nose pads, bendable temple tips, full prescription support and a Kylie Jenner edition that includes a custom AI voice.
  • Meta says the glasses include visible recording LEDs and tamper‑detection tech but cautions privacy is a continuing 'cat and mouse' challenge as IDC data shows shipments and Meta’s market share have surged and rivals prepare competing AI eyewear.
