Beautiful, Premium Design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of the Oakley Meta Vanguard is its beautiful, premium, and luxurious design. The glasses feel solid and well-built, and they look modern and sporty when worn. A big plus is that the glasses come with a charging case, which is very convenient. The case is compact, protects the glasses well, and makes charging easy. Overall, both the glasses and the case give a high-end feel that matches the product’s price point. I am still in the process of testing the product, but my initial experience has been positive. I hope the glasses will prove to be durable and continue to perform well over time.
Hey there Thank you so much for sharing your initial impressions! We are thrilled to hear that the Oakley Meta Vanguard is delivering that premium, high-end experience we strived for during development.
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.
Smart glasses that actually work outside
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've really enjoyed using the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses, especially for outdoor walks and winter activities. They feel like solid performance sunglasses first, with the tech built in in a way that doesn't get in the way. The frame is sleek and stylish and you wouldn't immediately know they're full of high tech capabilities. The Prizm 24K lenses are great, particularly in winter. Glare off snow can be intense, and these make everything look clearer and more comfortable without feeling too dark. I've worn them skiing and during cold, windy walks, and visibility has stayed sharp the whole time. The wide field of view also helps when you're moving fast and want to stay aware of what's around you. The hands-free camera is one of my favorite features. It's really nice to be able to capture moments on the slopes or during walks with the fam without pulling out a phone or stopping what you're doing. The Meta AI features pair easily with Garmin and Strava and make it simple to check stats during or after a workout. I was also pleasantly surprised by the audio quality. Even in windy conditions, I could still hear prompts clearly, and the glasses stayed comfortable and secure. They've handled sweat, snow, and cold weather without any issues. Overall, these have made my outdoor time and skiing activities more enjoyable and convenient. If you like staying active year-round and want smart features that actually feel useful, these are a great option.

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.
Hey there Wow! It seems like you and the whole family are getting the most out of your Vanguards. Its stories like that make us want to keep improving our products and trying to enhance peoples lives. Thanks so much for sharing!
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.
Hi there polinah3_6352, Thanks for taking the time to leave a 5 star review.

There really is nothing better than being able to capture those precious memories whilst still being in the moment.
Easy to use and unlocks new capabilities during cy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Oakley meta vanguards look a little large for a petite face, but stay very secure especially with the smaller nose pads available in the box. Taking photos and videos is easy and the sound quality for music is truly great, I was most impressed with the sound quality over any other feature. The battery life could be better but it’s SO fun to be able to take photos and videos while cycling. I haven’t been able to try them outside since it’s winter, but the real benefit I am excited about is the ability to snap shots during activities hands free and on demand while cycling. I never get to take photos during rides but now I can! The app and set up and garmin integration was very easy, only took a few minutes. I can’t wait to use them during a race and snap a cool finish like video! The actual lenses themselves are crystal clear as with any other Oakley sunglasses, and the frames feel very solid and are easy to wipe clean after sweating. The charging case is easy to use although it’s a bit bulky for travel. The quality I have from any other Oakley sunnies are brought to these along with the AI and camera tech, it’s truly the most exciting wearable I’ve tried in a long time.

Easy set up and amazing video quality!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised by how comfortable and lightweight these are, even when wearing them on runs. The set up was quick and easy, and hands-free recording feels really natural. Video quality is clear and smooth, and the Prizm lens makes colors look more vibrant and sharp without being too dark. Overall, they feel practical while designed and easy to use for capturing moments on the go.

Full of Features and Adventure in One
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound and picture quality is crystal clear. My new puppy (pictured, taken with glasses) is never still and it captures him perfectly. I love the centered camera so it gives you an actual point of view image or video result. The frames are sturdy and the voice commands are super responsive. I love that everything downloads right to my phone. The battery life is decent and super easy to charge. The AI feature is an added bonus! I'm buying a pair for my brother for his birthday next month because he loves them so much!
Hey there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We're so glad to see that you're loving your new Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses and we hope that you can continue using them to take such breathe taking photo/videos of your puppy!
Step into the future
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not going to sit here and say these are perfect, I'll list the flaws here shortly, but these are definitely a big step for the future. To start off, the packaging is impeccable. When I first opened it felt like I was a little kid on Christmas. The boxing just opened like a flower, revealing a gorgeous pair of glasses. The case that holds the glasses is very durable and is only as bulky as required. Fine curves hug the glasses while keeping it slim. Next, the setup. Really couldn't be easier. Walks you through step by step so if you are familiar with downloading an app and walking through instructions then you are all set. Put them on and see the world in a new light. Or matter of fact, less light. The glasses encase your entire vision providing amazing protection against those bright days. Looking out into crystal clear skies while reducing blur is outstanding. Has became my go to driving glasses. Walking through a winter wonderland, snow falling and glasses remained clear and fog free. Now let's talk about features. Sound is incredible. Clear sound and easy volume controls. Simple easy touch controls. Taking pictures and videos couldn't be easier. Either click or hold a button or simply ask Meta to do it. Here is the best part, if taking a video, ask Meta to start and stop video. It will trim the video before you ask it to end so you do not have to hear asking Meta in the video. Remarkable. The frames are sturdy and sharp as one would expect from Oakley and fit snug on the head making them feel safe. Finally, tested in and out of the car and the transition is flawless. Now onto the criticism part. The frames are tight which is nice, but can come across as too tight. For the music, although remarkable, the louder it gets the more your neighbors can hear. Unless they are set low, there is no privacy. One more gripe would be the placement of volume controls and picture/video buttons. They are in the same side so each time you want to take a picture or record a video, be prepared to pause or change the volume if listening to music. Finally, as no fault with the glasses, Meta AI needs work. Although basic tasks are great, it is limited to current AI limitations. Struggles with identifications and can get confused easily, but to take photos, record videos, basic identifications, works without error. So to summarize, these will not make you the terminator or let you see the future, they are definitely a step in that direction and I would recommend these to anyone who wants to experience the beginning to a great thing.
