Ray-Ban vs. Oakley: A Tech Expert Picks the Best Smart Glasses
"Back in the '90s, if you asked me what I'd be geeking out over in the year 2025, I would have shouted "flying motorcycles" or "a VHS tape that lets you rewind real life." But nope. My futuristic obsession isn't a time machine nor a flying vehicle. It's glasses, smart glasses. I get one question constantly: "What's your favorite gadget?" For a while, the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses held that title. But the limited-edition Oakley Meta HTSN Smart Glasses just dethroned them. Here's why."
"Ray-Ban Stories could play music, capture photos, record video, take calls, and more. It was like fusing my AirPods, iPhone, and GoPro into one wearable. Meta took it up a notch with the second-gen model that launched two years ago: the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. The 2023 shades featured improved cameras, audio, and microphones. Plus, Meta added an AI assistant for hands-free commands (e.g. "Hey Meta, call mom")."
Oakley Meta HSTN limited-edition smart glasses deliver 3K video recording, a sporty waterproof design, polarized lenses that cut glare, and longer battery life. Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses offer music playback, photo capture, video recording, calling, improved cameras, audio, microphones, a wireless charging case, and hands-free AI commands but suffer from unimpressive battery life. The Oakleys stand out for durability, video quality, glare reduction, and endurance while retaining drawbacks such as constrained Meta AI functionality and a polarizing design. Limited-edition availability means the Oakleys will be available only for a short time.
