Meta launches new branded smart glasses at lower price point

Meta has released a new line of smart glasses under its own brand, the Meta Glasses, which offer similar functionality to its previous Ray-Ban branded models but at a lower starting price of $299. These new frames come in more style and color combinations, including the Adventurer, Starfire, and Fury designs, and feature a Meta logo instead of the Ray-Ban branding. While offering a more accessible price point and greater customization, some users may find the new frames slightly bulkier and less comfortable than their designer counterparts, despite improvements in adjustable nosepieces.
