Review Published for Camera-Free Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses
Understand the story
On October 14, 2026, The Verge published a review of the $349 Ray-Ban Meta Audio camera-less smart glasses. The review found that removing the camera reduces the psychological burden of wearing them, and the glasses look just like ordinary eyewear. On AI capabilities, the glasses currently run the weaker Muse Spark model, which can handle short tasks like schedule queries, reminders, and walking navigation, but tends to err on complex requests; Meta's Muse AI won't launch until later this year. The review concluded that the glasses are essentially a good pair of open-ear headphones in a smart-glasses form factor, but in terms of AI experience they are still not worth the price. There is currently only this one review report, with no further updates.

- The Verge · AII don’t miss the camera on the Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses
The Verge reviewed the $349 camera-free Ray-Ban Meta Audio smart glasses, arguing that dropping the camera makes them more comfortable to wear in public and that they look like ordinary glasses. They currently run the weaker Muse Spark model, which handles short tasks like schedule lookups, reminders, and walking navigation, but complex requests often fail, and Meta's Muse AI won't arrive until later this year. They are essentially good open-ear headphones in glasses form, but the AI experience isn't yet worth the price.
