Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses Go On Sale From $349

Meta’s audio-only Ray-Bans are no longer a Connect teaser. On October 13, 2026, Meta’s product blog said Ray-Ban Meta Audio is on sale starting at $349 USD.

The product

• First Ray-Ban Meta glasses dedicated to all-day open-ear audio (music, calls, Meta AI) without a camera stack emphasis in the launch post
• Styles: retro Clubmaster and Burbank; 23 frame and lens combinations; prescription lenses available
• 43 grams; over-extension hinges; professional-adjustable temple tips; swappable or adjustable nose pads by style
• Battery: up to 12 hours on a charge or up to 6 hours continuous audio; charging case adds up to 48 more hours; fast charge to 50% in 22 minutes (Meta claims)

Where to buy

Meta.com, Ray-Ban.com, Ray-Ban stores, Meta Lab stores, EssilorLuxottica owned retail and select third-party retailers. Meta also says that by year-end its EssilorLuxottica partnership will offer more than 100 different AI glasses options.

Rocks take

Camera-free (or at least audio-first) AI glasses are the mass-market compromise — lighter, longer battery, fewer privacy fights. $349 undercuts many camera Ray-Ban Meta SKUs if you mostly wanted speakers on your face.
