After a successful partnership with Ray-Ban, Meta and EssilorLuxottica have expanded their smart eyewear lineup with a new performance-focused model under the Oakley brand: Oakley Meta HSTN. Officially unveiled on June 20 as scheduled, this model marks Meta’s first entry into the performance wearables category.
Oakley Meta HSTN: Designed for Athletes, Packed with Features
Engineered for athletes and active users, the Oakley Meta HSTN features PRIZM lens technology to enhance visibility in varying light and weather conditions. The glasses come with IPX4 water resistance, 8 hours of active battery life, and up to 48 hours of total usage time with the charging case—twice the battery life of Meta’s Ray-Ban models.
Equipped with a 3K resolution camera, the glasses allow users to listen to music, make calls, interact with Meta AI, identify objects, and even translate speech in real time.
Pricing and Availability
Starting price for standard models: $399
Limited edition with gold accents and Oakley PRIZM lenses: $499, available for pre-order starting July 11
Available in five frame and lens combinations, with prescription lens options offered at an additional cost
The Oakley Meta HSTN will be available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., various European countries, Australia, and Scandinavia.
According to Alex Himel, Meta’s Head of Wearables, this release is just the beginning of Meta’s performance category, with more models already in development. The long-term goal: selling 10 million smart glasses annually by 2026. To date, over 2 million Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses have been sold worldwide.
