Meet the Oakley x Meta HSTN Limited Edition — Built Different
Forget everything you know about smart glasses. The Oakley x Meta HSTN Limited Edition is here to redefine what wearables should be: powerful, rugged, and ready to perform.
This isn’t your everyday city-stroll headset. This is built for athletes, adventurers, and the kind of people who don’t flinch at a little dirt, rain, or chaos. It’s what happens when you fuse Oakley’s performance-first design DNA with Meta’s category-defining smart tech.
What Makes These Smart Glasses Different?
Let’s break it down:
- Sweat? Bring it. These are engineered for movement. If Ray-Ban Metas were for café life and casual captures, the Oakley HSTNs are made for the field, the trail, and the road.
- Hands-free content creation (yes, real hands-free): 12MP camera, stabilized POV video, and seamless sharing — all without touching your phone.
- Audio that adapts to you: Directional open-ear speakers deliver crisp sound whether you're coasting downhill or catching your breath between reps.
- Meta AI onboard: Ask questions, get directions, send messages. You don’t need to stop moving to stay connected. (Meta AI is not available in South Africa)
- Design that doesn’t apologize: These are bold. Thick temple arms, signature HSTN curves, and Oakley’s unapologetic edge.
This is the first time Meta has stepped outside the lifestyle aesthetic of the Ray-Ban lineup and built something for the performance crowd — and we’re here for it.
Oakley Meta vs. Ray-Ban Meta: What’s the Difference?
It’s less about which is better and more about what kind of life you live. Ray-Bans are for flexing at brunch. The Oakleys are for ripping trails, taking hits, and still grabbing cinematic POV shots.
