Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn) is a new line of AI-enabled glasses, joining Meta Ray-Bans.

The new round-framed glasses look sharp at first glance, but they are also packing up to eight hours on a charge now according to Meta, instead of the 3-4 hours you can normally get on the Ray-Bans. The onboard camera can shoot higher-res wide-angle video at 3k resolution this time.

The glasses will be available to pre-order July 11 starting with the $499 special limited-edition version, following up "later in the summer" with prices that range from $399 and up for other models, with a variety of light-filtering lens options
