Summary

  • Meta’s new smart glasses went on sale in Japan on Aug. 26, with the reviewed Meta Adventurer model priced from ¥50,600 and built with cameras, speakers and a customizable action button.
  • The 54g glasses are noticeably heavier than ordinary eyewear, but pack onboard components including dual cameras, temple speakers, a bridge sensor, adjustable nose pads and a sliding power switch.
  • Battery life is rated at more than 8 hours on the glasses alone and more than 40 hours with the foldable charging case, which uses a USB-C port and locks the frame in place for charging.
  • Meta offers the product in three frame lines—Meta Adventurer, Meta Fury and Meta Glasses by Kylie—through its official store and Amazon Japan, in a device developed with EssilorLuxottica.
