Meta launches $349 Ray-Ban Audio glasses with no camera and AI integration
Meta Platforms Inc. released its Ray‑Ban Meta Audio glasses last month at a starting price of $349 and up. The wearable omits a camera, which some users view as a privacy benefit, while delivering solid audio performance and voice interaction powered by Meta AI.
Key points
- Meta's Ray‑Ban Audio glasses start at $349 and lack a built‑in camera.
- The glasses deliver good audio quality and integrate Meta AI for voice interactions.
- Review notes lingering privacy concerns and considers the price fairly high.
The review notes that the AI features work well, but privacy concerns linger due to the device’s always‑on microphones. Critics also point out that the price is fairly high for a product that primarily offers audio and AI assistance, making it a niche offering in the emerging smart‑glasses market.
