"They're obviously impressive, and pack a lot of tech into a small form factor, but the $500 USD price tag and AI integration soured my opinion on these decidedly Tron-like shades. On the flip side, the ability to shoot 3K video and 12MP photos without fussing with an action cam on rides was super appealing - plus I think they look sick."
"After some time with the Oakley Meta Vanguard , I've found a few things that aren't quite perfect, but what they do well, they do pretty dang well, and they've been growing on me. The video they capture is pretty damn impressive, and it's absurdly easy to use for social media, but aside from the speakers, photo, and video features, everything else seems like bloatware."
Oakley Meta Vanguard are sunglasses that integrate a camera, speakers, and AI-driven features in a compact, Tron-like design. They record 3K video and capture 12MP photos with surprisingly good image quality from a tiny sensor and lens. Photo and video capture, plus easy social-media sharing, represent the strongest capabilities. Built-in AI features, activity-tracking links, and additional connectivity feel excessive for users who only want basic recording. The $500 USD price and concerns about resilience during mountain biking reduce broad appeal. The glasses suit riders who prioritize convenient POV footage and stylish design over full ecosystem integration.
