Meta Expands AI Glasses Lineup With New Ray-Ban Audio, Gen 3, LISA Edition, and $249 Model

In addition to announcing Meta VR Glasses, Meta has also unveiled the Ray-Ban Meta Audio, the new Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3, and several new Meta Glasses styles. The company also confirmed that its Muse personal AI agent is coming to AI glasses, bringing more hands-free features to the platform.

Meta says it plans to offer more than 100 glasses options across Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Meta Glasses by the end of 2026. The company is also adding new software features that can handle things such as live translation, sports scores, restaurant recommendations, and everyday tasks through Muse.

Ray-Ban Meta Audio weighs 43 grams and lasts up to 12 hours

If you wanted something without camera, Ray-Ban Meta Audio, Meta’s first audio-only glasses, should be your go-to choice. They weigh just 43 grams and can play music and podcasts, handle calls, and let users interact with an AI assistant without reaching for their phone.

Meta claims up to 12 hours of battery life, with another 48 hours available through the charging case. The glasses come in Clubmaster and Burbank designs, with 23 color and lens combinations, and support a wide range of prescription options. Ray-Ban Meta Audio starts at $349 and is available for pre-order, with shipping beginning October 13.

Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 gets longer battery life and an action button

The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 gets a slimmer design, up to nine hours of battery life, and a new customizable action button for quick access to Meta AI. Meta is offering 27 color and lens combinations across Aviator, Zena, and Wayfarer styles.

The glasses also feature a 12MP camera, 3K Ultra HD video recording, and a new six-microphone array that Meta says cuts more than 90% of background noise. Dynamic Photos can automatically help select the best frame from a shot. Gen 3 starts at $449 and is available now. Later this year, Meta says its AI glasses will also support Dolby Atmos video recording with 360-degree spatial audio.

Meta is also expanding its own Glasses lineup with Capri and Nova, a new Kylie Jenner Ivory colorway starting at $399, and two LISA editions starting at $399. The LISA collection includes Meta Adventurer and Meta Capri designs with custom accessories and digital photocards. For buyers looking for a cheaper entry point, the new Meta Adventurer starts at $249 with its plug-in case and goes on sale October 23.

Meta Glasses are also expanding to Singapore, South Korea, Mexico, and the UAE, with Brazil coming soon. More Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, and Ray-Ban Meta Optics markets are planned later this year. Not to forget, the company has also announced expanded features for the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.
