Oakley | Meta Vanguard with Meta AI, Audio, Photo, Video Compatibility - White, Prizm™ Black

I was skeptical going in because smart glasses usually feel gimmicky. The Oakley Meta Vanguard changed my mind pretty quickly. These feel like real Oakleys first, with smart features layered in naturally. Comfort and Design The fit is comfortable and secure, even during extended wear. They look like premium sunglasses, not tech on your face. The Prizm Black lenses are excellent, providing clear contrast and eye comfort in bright conditions. Audio Experience The open-ear audio is surprisingly good. It’s clear enough for calls, music, and prompts without blocking surrounding sounds. Volume is solid, and conversations come through clean without needing earbuds. Photo and Video Capture This is where they shine. Being able to capture photos and short videos hands-free is incredibly convenient. The quality is better than expected for quick moments, especially when you want to capture something without pulling out your phone. Meta AI Integration The Meta AI features feel useful, not intrusive. Voice commands are responsive, and it’s easy to ask questions or trigger actions without touching anything. It feels natural once you get used to it. Everyday Use I’ve used these while walking, traveling, and during casual outings. They are especially useful when your hands are full or when pulling out a phone would break the moment. Pros Premium Oakley build and comfort Excellent Prizm Black lenses Convenient hands-free photo and video capture Clear open-ear audio Useful voice and AI features Cons Not meant to replace high-end cameras Audio is best in quieter environments Requires charging like any smart device Final Verdict The Oakley Meta Vanguard feels like a mature, well-executed smart glasses product, not a novelty. If you want hands-free photos, audio, and AI features built into sunglasses you would actually wear, these are a strong option. I’m glad I picked them up and use them regularly. Five stars.

Excellent! Great photos, even better than our phone camera. Sound is clear, Meta demands are clear and precise. Style is sleek and sexy and very comfortable! Happy husband, so worth the price!

Got these for my husband for Christmas and he loves them. He wears them everyday to work. They block the sun well enough for him and the picture and video quality is great. The battery will last most of the day if he doesnt take too many pictures or videos. We usually have a 2 to 3 hour conversation while he's at work and they'll still have juice when he gets home. The call quality is great as well. There will be noise where he's at and I can only hear his voice and nothing else.

This glasses gave me so much joy, to take pictures or videos during cycling. Something that I can never do, as its considered unsafe. All I need to do is to say it in words. When cycling solo, music is your best buddy. Quality is surprisingly good. Music will drain the battery fast. You'll run out of battery within 4 hours. Lens is a bit darker, and I'm looking forward to buy the low light lens, when its available. Meta AI is lacking collection (per cycling) photos management. You can only group photos when you enable auto capture. Without it, you can't group them together, making photo management hard.

Got these to replace my Instant Go 3 on my hat for USPSA competitions, wearing a headphone for listening to music and obviously for the new ai features. I look forward for 4 things. Good video camera, talk to ai, listen to music and the convenience. But, I found that out of the 4 things, the one thing I look forward the most is a good video camera and it is not up to par. Here are the cons: 1. Video camera is not up to par vs Go 3, it jitters for no reason during recording like someone punches you in the face. There are no way to turn off stabilization and it jumps all over the place. 2. The recoding sounds are horrible, it keeps going in and out on loud sounds and there are no way to turn them off 3. Not enough video camera settings, no landscape only portrait, no setting to turn off stabilization 4. Cannot listen to music while recording 5. Definitely heavier than regular Oakley M-Frames, that is to be expected 6. The case should have a tracker build in, if you lose it, you don't even know it I used it heavily for the last 2 weeks since it released and I have tried every possible way to fix these issues. Amazon won't let me post my uspsa video, so you can either take my word for it or check out my ig at hyasuma_pew The Pros: 1) Easy to set up 2) Upload directly to your phone gallery 3) Sound is amazing for both music and phone calls 4) Makes recording/image and sharing things a breeze 5) Talking to Meta AI is pretty cool Overall, I like the product and wanted to give a 5 star but with the video jitter issue, I can't justify all the pro outweighing this specific issue. I am planning on giving a bit more time to see if the jitter can be fixed, if not, I might end up returning it and look for alternatives like Bleeq.

I absolutely love my Meta Vanguard pink glasses. From the moment I started using them, they exceeded my expectations. They protect my eyes really well from the sun, and even when I’m out running in the rain, they still record clear, high-quality videos without any issues. The image and video quality are excellent — everything looks sharp and vibrant. The sound is surprisingly good too, whether I’m listening to music or taking calls. People can hear me clearly, and I can hear them without distractions. One of my favorite features is how easy it is to download the content directly to my phone. It’s quick and simple. And I love that the glasses case doubles as a battery backup — it keeps them charged and ready to go anytime. Stylish, practical, and powerful — I’m truly impressed.

Nice mate

Just what I need in my training. It makes everything easier. Bringing less gadjet so I can maximize my performance.

Excelente tecnología, muy buen resolución de imágenes y vídeo. Envió rapido y paquete sin daños. Aplicación meta fácil de usar y exportar. Muy recomendados!

Delivery to NZ was super fast. Very happy with the product. It’s easy to set up and to use.

Great glasses. Very disappointed Garmin Integration not available for NZ. No support from Meta and/or Garmin
