Meta Unveils Oakley Meta HSTN AR Glasses with 3K FPV Recording, 8-Hour Battery Life

Meta has just announced its latest innovation in smart eyewear — the Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn), a performance-focused upgrade to the Ray-Ban Meta line. Designed specifically for athletes and action-seekers, the HSTN glasses bring higher resolution video, better battery life, and a sportier aesthetic.

3K First-Person Recording & Audio Upgrades

The Oakley Meta HSTN is equipped with the ability to record 3K FPV (first-person view) videos, a major leap from the 1080p limit on the original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. This makes them ideal for capturing high-detail action shots while biking, running, or even training.

Users get five built-in microphones for clear voice capture and Bluetooth speakers in the arms of the glasses for an “immersive audio experience.”

Smart AI Features and Hands-Free Operation

Powered by Meta AI, the Oakley HSTN allows users to control everything hands-free — start/stop video recordings, make calls, play music, send messages, or ask questions. A small LED indicator light in the frame lets bystanders know when recording is active, ensuring privacy awareness.

Additional controls include a touch-sensitive panel on the right arm and a physical capture button for quick manual input.

Battery Life & Charging Case

With up to 8 hours of usage on a single charge — double the battery life of the Ray-Ban Meta — the Oakley HSTN is built to last through long training sessions. The included charging/carrying case extends total use up to 48 hours, and just 20 minutes of charging gives you 50% battery.

Durability, Customization & Colors

The Oakley Meta HSTN features an IPX4 water resistance rating, making it splash-proof and sweat-resistant. It’s available in four stylish colorways: Warm Grey, Black, Brown Smoke, and Clear. Buyers can also choose from five lens types, all of which are prescription-compatible.

Limited Edition Pre-orders Start July 11 – $499
