Meta’s Ray-Ban and Oakley AI Glasses Go on Sale in Singapore

The launch pushes Meta’s eyewear deeper into mainstream retail in Southeast Asia.

Overview

  • Meta and EssilorLuxottica are now selling Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and Oakley Meta AI glasses across Singapore retail channels, with prices starting at S$629 and S$659 respectively.
  • Ray-Ban Wayfarer, Skyler and Headliner styles are in stores now, with slimmer Blayzer and Scriber Optics frames set for May 6 alongside a Ray-Ban Meta pop-up at Orchard Road’s Mandarin Gallery from May 6 to 17.
  • Gen 2 Ray-Ban models capture 3K Ultra HD video on a 12MP camera and use a six‑mic array with open‑ear speakers, while Oakley variants add sport‑focused frames and up to eight to nine hours of use with extra charge from their cases.
  • A Straits Times hands‑on found strong audio and dependable camera capture, but voice actions for calls and texts often misheard names and live translation produced mixed results.
  • First‑generation Ray‑Ban Meta glasses remain on sale as a lower‑cost option, with Amazon recently offering a 25% discount.
