Rad sunglasses that do AI stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These gasses are extremely well built. Like I feel like you could drive a Sherman tank over them without breaking them. The packaging they came in was very nice and the included charging case keeps them charged and safe when not on my face. For what they are they are an excellent set of sunglasses that happen to have some decent AI features that are helpful from time to time. The pairing and setup is super simple. The app functions well and doesn’t have any bugs. I love the video feature and taking photos from the glasses. The AI implementation is not the best available, better AI implementation than what meta has. I hope meta will update in the near future to improve quality.

Smart and Sporty premium glasses.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I e got this Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses for my honest review. I really enjoyed testing it last month. They just look and feels lite a normal Oakley glasses not that much heavier. Sporty look and quality lenses. The technology included in this glasses just amazes me. I connected it with my Garmin watches. It helps track and analyze activities. The video and photo quality is exceptional. The hands free technology allows you to start videotaping “on the go” from you point of view. The speakers included surprised me the most. The sound is soo good and person even close to me can not hear a thing. So I can make a calls or listen to podcasts during my walk/run and still be aware what is going on around me. Meta ai comes handy. I used it to recognize what type of plants I was looking at. There are a couple downsize for these glasses first is the price which is definitely down the height side. But remember, it’s not the regular glasses. It’s the whole top notch technology comes with it too. And also some privacy concerns. Overall, if you are staying active and use Garmin I would recommend it.

Best AI glasses I have ever owned!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best AI glasses on the market! The clarity is superb! They feel super comfortable and the lenses are the perfect amount of tint. The coverage is great also! These are super easy to use and hold a charge for several hours! I used them and still had battery left at the end of the day. Highly recommend these!

Good but need improvement!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Oakley Meta glasses have great speakers for music and take clear photos and videos, even while snowboarding. However, the frame is large and heavy, and after wearing them for a while, it started to hurt my ears. Voice commands to record videos were unreliable on the mountain—often not working, possibly due to connectivity or the glasses not hearing commands clearly. Additionally, the music frequently stopped whenever I adjusted or slightly lifted the glasses to reduce ear discomfort, which was frustrating.

Very cool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s been too cold, but I would love to wear these on some kind of motorcycle or other ATV type of vehicle to test the sound. It is very user friendly. Comfortable easy to understand and use. I am interested in investing in a regular prescription lens pair.

Cool Tech Glasses - Tight Fit for Adult Heads

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Oakley Meta glasses are definitely one of those things that nobody needs but are cool to have. They were incredibly easy to setup, and I appreciate that you don’t necessarily need a Facebook account. You just download the app and pair the glasses with Bluetooth. The charging case is also nice and durable and should protect the glasses well. My biggest gripe with the glasses is the fit. I have a fairly large head, and these definitely feel tight and pinch the sides of my head. I understand that they’re meant to be fitted so they don’t fall off while active, but I find them fairly uncomfortable. They fit my 9 year old daughter’s head well, which proves my point. I am hopeful that they will stretch with further use but wish they could be adjusted. On the positive side, the image and video quality are surprisingly good, and I like that you can verbally make commands to take pictures or record. I’m looking forward to my daughter’s soccer season starting so I can sport these while taking video. My daughter is also having a lot of fun playing around with the AI features and asking silly questions like “how old do you think this person is?” or “does my sister look happy?”. They’re also great for listening to music and can be integrated with Apple Music, Amazon Music and a few other apps. Overall, these are a neat gadget, albeit a little pricey, so I definitely appreciate receiving these from Influenster in exchange for my honest feedback.

Love it but some drawbacks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera and video quality are surprisingly good for glasses, making hands-free photos and videos during activities like cycling or sightseeing incredibly convenient and safer than pulling out a phone. Audio quality is also solid, and listening to music feels immersive for an open-ear design. However, battery life is the biggest drawback. While advertised for longer use, real-world performance falls short—especially when recording video or playing music at higher volumes. 2–4 hours of use depending on how much video you capture, which makes. Comfort is generally good, though the lens can feel a bit dark in lower light, and software features like photo organization still feel limited. Overall, great for short, active sessions and casual use. If you value convenience, audio, and hands-free capture, they’re enjoyable but battery constraints prevent them from being a true all day wearable.

Absolutely in love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow… so I finally got my hands on the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses and honestly -I’m kind of blown away. I mean, I wasn’t expecting every little detail to be this good, but here we are 😂. First off, the PRIZM™ lenses are insane they make everything look super sharp and vibrant, whether I’m out on a run or just walking around in bright sunlight. These feel really different from regular sunglasses.  And the Meta AI stuff? Legit fun and actually useful. You just say “Hey Meta…” and you can snap photos, record videos hands-free, or even ask about your pace or heart rate if you’re working out with your Garmin. It’s like having a little coach right on your face, no joke.  The audio is way better than I thought it would be too. The open-ear speakers deliver music or voice feedback without me feeling boxed in, and I can still hear what’s going on around me — perfect when I’m on the bike or running.  Battery life has been solid for me easily enough to get through most of my workouts and the charging case gives even more hours on top, which is nice when I’m out early or late.  Fit-wise, they feel sturdy and comfortable… not flimsy at all. Oakley definitely nailed the build quality and that classic sporty look. I was a little worried they might feel too tech-heavy or awkward, but nope -they just work. Honestly, these are way more than “just sunglasses.” The mix of tech, optics, and everyday usability really surprised me. Super happy I got them — I reach for them all the time now. 😄

Such a cool gadget for outdoor workouts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Oakley Meta sunglasses for a few weeks and overall they’re an exciting mix of premium Oakley eyewear and smart technology. The frames feel solid and comfy for all-day wear, and the Prizm lenses deliver clear, contrast-rich vision in bright conditions. The instructions were easy to follow and get started . There is nothing to assemble as well they come ready to go! The built-in camera is a standout — it captures good quality point-of-view photos and video without needing to pull out your phone, which is great for outdoor activities or quick clips on the go. Voice-controlled AI features and open-ear audio add helpful hands-free convenience. Pros: • Sharp optics and classic Oakley comfort. • Fun, easy POV capture. • Useful voice and AI features without bulky gear. • Open-ear audio keeps you aware of your surroundings. Cons: • Battery life isn’t great if you use the camera and AI features heavily — you’ll need to recharge more often than with regular sunglasses.

Great Quality Meta Oakley sunglasses

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses and I am completely obsessed! After setting the glasses up, it was a very easy to navigate in taking pictures videos and even listening to music. The sunglasses are very comfortable and they also provide great coverage if you are using them on a bright sunny day, I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pictures and video. It took 10 out of 10 highly recommend for yourself or for a gift for a special someone!!
