Category: AI Hardware. Editor rating: 9.0/10, based on hands-on testing. Pricing: $299-$799 per month.
Built in partnership with Ray-Ban (EssilorLuxottica), these are the most polished AI glasses on the market. A 12 MP camera, five-mic array, open-ear speakers, and Meta AI on-device let you ask the assistant about anything you're looking at, capture POV photos and 1080p video, take calls, listen to music, and live-translate conversations. The 2024-25 generation added real-time multimodal AI ('Hey Meta, what am I looking at?') and live translation in English/Spanish/French/Italian. Frames look like normal Wayfarers, most people can't tell they're smart glasses, which is the entire point.
Editor's note: These are the first AI wearables that don't look like AI wearables, that alone makes them the only smart-glasses recommendation that doesn't feel like a science project.
