Ray‑Ban Meta Smart Glasses Drop to New Lows in Memorial Day Sales

The price cuts suggest a broader push to make AI‑powered eyewear a routine buy.

Overview

  • Amazon and Best Buy are discounting Ray‑Ban Meta Gen 2 smart glasses to about $322, matching the lowest tracked price across styles.
  • First‑generation Ray‑Ban Meta models are also on sale at roughly 25% off, with some options near $224.
  • Gen 2 focuses on everyday gains with up to eight hours of use per charge, a 12MP camera that records in 3K, and clearer audio from upgraded speakers and mics.
  • Meta AI lets the glasses handle voice questions, reminders, and real‑time translation, which a New York Post reviewer singled out as the standout feature.
  • The glasses capture hands‑free photos and short videos, can livestream to Instagram or Facebook, and can reach up to 48 hours of power when used with the charging case.
