Meta’s doing that thing again. You know, teaming up with EssilorLuxottica like two best pals from college who somehow managed to stay connected. Anyway, today they’re shouting about their latest brainchild — Oakley Meta Glasses. Pretty posh, right?
So, they’re hinting at this Oakley Meta HSTN thing (pronounced like HOW-stuhn — like Houston, but not). Following the Ray-Ban Meta release in 2023, they’re back for more. It’s kinda like binge-watching a series — you’re just waiting for what’s next.
Pre-orders? July 11th. Pencil it in if you’re fancying a $499 pair. It’s called the Limited Edition Oakley Meta HSTN — and they’ve gone all out with gold accents and some crazy 24K PRIZM polarized lenses. Feels like they’ve sprinkled a bit of fairy dust, huh?
The rest? Holds your breath till “later this summer,” apparently. Start from $399 and pick from these combos. My favorite? Might be Black with PRIZM Polar Black Lenses, not that anybody cares.
It’s not just about the look — there’s more under the hood. Battery life and video capture? Think better and higher. They’re boasting a 3K video from its ultra-wide 12MP cam, coming from Ray-Ban’s capped offering. Pixels, pixels everywhere. Almost sounds like a video game stat sheet.
Battery life? They’re doubling down. Up to eight hours if you’re using it like a normal human, and 19 if you’re letting it nap. It even comes with a charging case — extending life from 32 to 48 hours. More time to pretend you’re Tony Stark. Deliciously geeky!
Also, if you fancy splashing around, these got an IPX4 rating. Not swim-proof, though. Don’t get too adventurous in your secret agent fantasies.
They’re shipping these things all over — US, some parts of Europe, even Australia. Mexico and UAE folks, hold your horses. It’s coming your way too.
In the frenzy of it all, you can register for updates. Just head over to Meta or Oakley. I might just bookmark it myself, just in case. Or not… depends on my mood.
