Oakley Meta HSTN are the first truly sporty smart glasses created in collaboration between Meta and Oakley. They give you 3K ultra-video, up to eight hours of battery life, a fast charging case, open-back speakers, IPX4 protection, and the built-in Meta AI assistant – all in a heavyweight, athletically designed frame.
After the official presentation Oakley Meta HSTN It's clear that this model is not just a fashion accessory, but a serious tool for active athletes. With a design that carries the DNA of Oakley's premium sports frames and the bold integration of Meta AI, the glasses offer functionalities tailored to extreme sports challenges.
Sporty design and robustness
Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn) is based on the popular HSTN model, which is appreciated by athletes for its lightness and durability. The frames made of advanced polymers are certified with an IPX4 rating (splash-proof water resistance), which means they can withstand sweat, light raindrops and perspiration without any problems. Ergonomically shaped nose pads and a stable grip ensure that the glasses stay in place even during intense movements.
More waist and more energy
The biggest upgrade over the Ray-Ban Meta glasses is the battery. The Oakley Meta HSTN provide up to 8 hours active use and up to 7 p.m in standby mode. The charging case adds 48 hours extra energy, and the fast charger allows for a 50% charge in about 20 minutes. This makes them suitable for long training sessions, endurance runs or multi-hour bike tours.
3K video: capturing every movement
The built-in 12 MP camera with a Sony sensor allows 3K Ultra-wide format video – a significant upgrade over the 1080p of the Ray-Ban Meta. The wide-angle lens captures the entire action, which is extremely useful for analyzing technique, recording sports feats or creating professional footage without sacrificing detail.
Meta AI on glasses: an assistant in the palm of your hand – or rather, on your nose
The integrated Meta AI brings real-time data and voice commands directly to your field of vision. With the command “Hey Meta, what’s the wind blowing?” you can check the weather conditions before a golf swing or a surf trip, while there’s also a real-time translator and accessibility features like integration with the Be My Eyes app.
Audio and microphone for connectivity
The glasses have built-in 5 microphones and open-back Bluetooth speakers that deliver clear sound for music or calls while maintaining contact with your surroundings. This is essential for athletes who need a sense of spatial awareness and safety when moving in group or open environments.
Optical properties and adaptability
Prizm and Prizm Polarized optics deliver exceptional contrast and enhanced color vision for outdoor sports. Transitions lenses are also available for changing light conditions. All models support prescription inserts, allowing for custom prescription lenses. The line includes six frame and lens combinations, from virtually transparent transition models to sporty polarized versions.
