Good news tech tech-loving fashionistas! This Summer, you don’t have to choose between your smartphone and your style. In fact, you can have both perched right on your nose. Forget clunky gadgets that clash with your outfit – Meta’s new fashion-forward eyewear proves that brains and beauty really can go hand in hand.
Teaming up with Ray-Ban and Oakley, Meta has dropped three seriously chic pairs of smart sunglasses – the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), Oakley Meta Vanguard and Oakley Meta HSTN – that fuse cutting-edge AI with iconic design. Built for long summer days, golden-hour selfies and weekends that roll from brunch to beach club, these are the shades that see (and hear) it all.
Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2): Timeless Meets Tech-Savvy
Ray-Ban’s iconic frames just got a futuristic upgrade. The new Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) merges the label’s most coveted silhouettes with Meta’s cutting-edge AI smarts. Expect up to eight hours of battery life (plus a stylish charging case that adds another 48), discreet open-ear speakers, and a custom five-mic array for crystal-clear calls and recordings.
Voice control, instant sharing, and new focus features make these sunnies your social sidekick. Whether you’re documenting a holiday escape or tuning into your favourite playlist, they do it all – hands-free. From AUD $599 via Meta and Ray-Ban online.
