Meta smart glasses now let you play Spotify and tune in to conversations
Meta just dropped a new update for its Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses.
Now, you can stream Spotify right from your glasses and use a conversation-focus feature that makes voices clearer in noisy places—handy for busy streets or crowded cafes.
What's new and how much?
The conversation-focus tool uses open-ear speakers to boost voices around you, adjustable with a quick swipe on the right temple or in the settings.
Spotify playback works in English across 19 countries, including India, the US, UK, Australia, Brazil, and UAE.
Prices stay the same: Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 starts at $379; Oakley Meta HSTN at $399.
Quick specs rundown
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 offers 8 hours of battery life, 32GB storage, and splash resistance (IPX4).
The update is rolling out first in the US and Canada through an Early Access waitlist before going global.
How does it stack up?
Meta's smart glasses go head-to-head with Apple's AirPods Pro—which also have a Conversation Boost feature plus hearing aid options.
Both let you hear music or people better on the move—just depends if you want your tech on your face or in your ears.
