At the moment, Meta is in the lead when it comes to the best smart glasses. Not only does it have several models for sale, but they’re arguably the most approachable for consumers, as they all feature a respectable camera, decent battery life, and a responsive AI that lets you take full advantage of the glasses’ hardware.
But, Meta’s smart glasses aren’t cheap. The second-gen Ray-Ban Meta costs $379 to start. Meanwhile, the Meta Ray-Ban Display — the most advanced set of specs — cost $800, even before you add in tax. If you want to save some cash, Meta still sells the first-gen Ray-Ban Metas for $299, and they’re still quite good.
