Meta and Oakly Introduces HSTN AI Glasses

Discover the new Oakley Meta HSTN glasses, a powerful blend of Oakley's iconic design and Meta’s AI technology. Explore hands-free video, open-ear audio, and performance insights with this next-generation wearable.

There’s a fresh wave hitting the smart glasses space – and it's not just about tech anymore. Oakley and Meta have teamed up to create something new: the Oakley Meta HSTN, a pair of Performance AI glasses built for people who push limits, whether you're training, competing, or just enjoying life on the move. This marks the beginning of a new product line that blends Oakley's recognizable frame design with Meta's advanced AI features.

Smart glasses are quickly becoming one of the key hardware categories in the growing AI era. With Meta already seeing huge success with its Ray-Ban Meta glasses, the next step was clear: expand the vision with another powerhouse brand. That's where Oakley comes in. Known for their high-performance sports eyewear, Oakley brings bold design and durability to the table. Meta, on the other hand, contributes its AI capabilities, voice assistant, and integrated tech that changes how we interact with the world.

The first model in this new series is the Oakley Meta HSTN, inspired by Oakley’s HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn) style. These glasses aren’t just a fashion piece, they’re a full-on smart wearable. Equipped with a high-resolution 3K Ultra HD camera, users can capture video from a first-person perspective, completely hands-free. Whether you're on a skateboard, at the golf course, or surfing a wave, you can say “Hey Meta, take a video,” and instantly record the moment.

Listening to music or podcasts is just as easy. The frames include open-ear speakers that let you stay aware of your surroundings while still enjoying audio. The sound is clear and immersive, without blocking out the world around you. These features make the glasses just as useful for a workout as they are for a walk or commute.

Meta’s built-in voice assistant brings the power of AI right to your face. Ask real-time questions like, “How strong is the wind today?” while you’re out on the golf course, or check surf conditions without needing to touch your phone. It’s a personal assistant designed to keep up with your pace, offering useful information and smart functions while you stay active.

Battery life is always a big question for wearables, and Oakley Meta HSTN delivers. On a full charge, the glasses can last up to 8 hours of active use and 19 hours on standby. If you're short on time, a quick 20-minute charge gets you to 50%. The included charging case extends the usage further, with up to 48 hours of on-the-go power.

The glasses also feature IPX4 water resistance, which means they can handle sweat, rain, and the occasional splash making them a good fit for both training and daily life. From intense workouts to casual outdoor adventures, the Oakley Meta HSTN is designed to keep up.

Launching alongside this product is a global campaign featuring top athletes like Kylian Mbappé, Patrick Mahomes, Gabriel Medina, and J.R. Smith. Their presence highlights the glasses’ appeal not just for professional use, but also for fans and active individuals who want to step into their mindset.

The limited-edition Oakley Meta HSTN will be available for preorder starting July 11, priced at USD 499. A wider collection will follow later in the summer, starting at USD 399. Availability includes key markets like the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia, with plans to expand to Mexico, India, and the UAE later this year.

Whether you're skating with Boo Johnson, hitting the waves with Gabriel Medina, or simply looking for a smarter way to capture and share your day, Oakley Meta HSTN is here to set a new standard in wearable technology. With a seamless mix of style, AI functionality, and athlete-approved features, these glasses might just become your new favorite tech companion.
