Editorial summaries

Ray-Ban Meta

Ray-Ban Meta is Meta's line of AI-augmented smart glasses (with EssilorLuxottica), and the clearest case in the wearable cohort of a product that shipped what it promised: Meta AI voice, photo and video capture, live translation, and Look-and-Ask generally deliver as marketed. The lineup runs from about $299 (the 2023 Ray-Ban Meta) and ~$379 (Gen 2) up to $799 for the Ray-Ban Display with Neural Band, descending from the camera-only Ray-Ban Stories (2021). EssilorLuxottica reported about 7 million smart glasses sold in 2025 (a manufacturer-reported figure).

AirGo Vision

The Solos AirGo Vision is an audio-first AI smart-glasses line with a camera, built on the AirGo platform. Its SmartHinge system swaps camera and non-camera frame fronts and arms via USB-C. SolosChat is powered by GPT-4o, cloud-routed through Solos servers ('ask about what you see').

Pricing is $299 standard and $349 for the bundle, with a $149 camera front-plate. It is genuine cloud AI, though reviews note mediocre open-ear speakers and camera quality. Successors include the AirGo A5 (audio) and AirGo V2 (16MP, January 2026).
