The next morning, I smiled at a barista while ordering a caramel apple-flavored matcha latte. Afterward, I sat on a park bench reading a book, called up a pal to chat about her recent trip to Prague, and then asked my Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses what meetings were coming up on my calendar. The chipper AI voice said I hadn\u2019t connected my Google Calendar yet (I had) and asked if I would like help connecting. I sighed and then asked it to play an upbeat song. It picked Kendrick Lamar\u2019s \u201cNot Like Us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">These past few days, dozens of people have seen or interacted with me while wearing smart glasses. Not a single person noticed. Probably because these audio-only versions look just like normal glasses. They come in a retro Clubmaster look \u2014 like the ones pictured in this review \u2014 or a more Wayfarer-esque Burbank style. Honestly, people usually don\u2019t notice when I wear camera glasses either. But for once, I didn\u2019t feel like a creep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac1 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"gc3ws21\">\n<div

Seven years ago, I strutted around Manhattan taking calls and listening to tunes in the <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/i-was-ready-to-dunk-on-the-bose-frames-but-i-actuall-1833752024\">Bose Frames<\/a>, which <em>also<\/em> combined Bluetooth audio with stylish sunglasses. Nobody noticed me in the Bose back then, either. What makes <em>this<\/em> pair notable is that it\u2019s 2026, they\u2019re made by Meta, and, well, there\u2019s been vigorous discourse about whether smart glasses are a form of spyware.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Let\u2019s get privacy out of the way. During setup, all the privacy and data opt-out disclosures were much more prominent than when I\u2019ve previously tested Meta glasses. A screen explained how visual data from AI experiences is handled. (You can opt out of Meta using that data to improve AI; voice data, however, is still used.) There\u2019s no visual data from these glasses \u2014 this is simply the new messaging for <em>any<\/em> pair of Meta glasses. You can also opt out of sharing \u201cadditional data\u201d with Meta as well, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/help\/ai-glasses\/483508126732797\/\">enumerated in a separate document online<\/a>. This is a good thing, though it doesn\u2019t address what makes people uncomfortable about smart glasses: the uneasy feeling that someone else is recording you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">You know what sort of <em>does<\/em>, though? Removing the camera. The Bose Frames never triggered the same level of distrust because they were \u201cjust\u201d sunglasses-shaped headphones. That applies here too. Frankly, I felt much lighter wearing these out into the world precisely because I couldn\u2019t record footage of anyone.

(This automatically feels 10 percent less silly if you \u201cmust\u201d talk to AI assistants outside the home.) There\u2019s no native way to record a conversation directly from the glasses.

Muse Spark is nerfed without the camera but can still come in handy. For example, granting access to your messaging apps, Google Calendar, and email lets it do some light scheduling and correspondence on your behalf. If you enable location sharing, you can send where you are to the group chat. It\u2019s <em>fine<\/em> for these tasks, but not great. It\u2019s adept at short queries like \u201cWhat\u2019s my next calendar event?\u201d or \u201cSet a reminder to update my editors at 12PM.\u201d With more complex asks, I\u2019ve found Muse Spark gets confused, and it\u2019s faster to whip out my phone. I ended up mostly asking it to set reminders for to-dos I remembered while in the middle of something else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Muse Spark can also give you local recommendations and turn-by-turn audio directions while walking. As I\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/column\/820894\/optimizer-meta-ray-ban-display-enterprise-wearables-tourism-renaissance-art\">written before<\/a>, that\u2019s great if you\u2019re traveling. Less so if you\u2019re familiar with your local haunts. In my neighborhood, I already know which coffee shops have the best Wi-Fi and snacks \u2014 and it wasn\u2019t the one Muse Spark suggested. As for walking directions, they\u2019re not something I need <em>that<\/em> often. When I did, I found using Google Maps on my phone more helpful for getting my bearings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I\u2019m sure Muse will open up more possibilities when it arrives later this year. Then again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/column\/999999\/optimizer-meta-muse-ai-cute\">I\u2019ve seen demos<\/a>, and I\u2019m still skeptical that agentic AI will be <em>the<\/em> thing that convinces people to buy smart glasses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">So what <em>do<\/em> I like about these?

Sound quality is decent, but you\u2019re still dealing with all the tradeoffs that come with this form factor. They struggle at louder volumes. The trebles start to get tinny, and bass can sound distorted. There\u2019s inevitably sound leakage. My spouse frequently reminded me that they could hear everything I was listening to, all of the AI\u2019s responses, and my phone calls. Conversely, even at top volume, ambient noise can still drown out your content. These won\u2019t cut it on a loud subway, for instance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Still, it\u2019s nice to listen to audiobooks around the house without jumping out of my skin anytime my spouse or cats want my attention. On my daily walks, I\u2019m less afraid of my maniac neighbors mowing me down in their murder mobiles. (New Jersey drivers, man.) It\u2019s not mind-blowing, but it\u2019s a meaningful improvement to my day-to-day routine.

So far, I\u2019ve worn them for two full days, including a 30-minute run and multiple walks, with zero issues. My Clubmaster review unit also has nose pads \u2014 huzzah for anyone with a low nose bridge. That also made for a huge improvement in call quality since the mic for calls wasn\u2019t smushed up against my schnoz. The temple tips can also be adjusted for a better fit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I usually ding smart glasses for not supporting my -10 prescription and severe astigmatism. These support a range of -12 to +6 \u2014 I\u2019m still waiting on a prescription pair, but at least my garbage eyeballs don\u2019t preclude me from wearing these as my daily glasses. All in all, these glasses will fit a much broader range of faces and vision needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Battery life is also phenomenal.

These feel expensive for headphone glasses that don\u2019t do much yet. The Meta Glasses, for example, now start at $250 and technically do more. These are $100 more for what, exactly? The Ray-Ban branding? The privilege of <em>not<\/em> worrying about freaking out other people? If these were $150 or $200, I\u2019d say these would be a no-brainer. Starting at $350 without prescription lenses, without the hearing assistance features, without Muse? That feels off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">But pricing complaints aside, I didn\u2019t miss the camera. (I only ever use it to take cat videos anyway.) Muse Spark isn\u2019t what I\u2019d call the most compelling AI model, but it\u2019s useful now and then.
