Meta Launches Camera-Free Ray-Ban Audio Glasses

Meta has released Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses, a camera-free version of its smart glasses starting at $349, featuring open-ear audio, Meta AI integration, and up to 12 hours of battery life. The launch responds to public backlash over privacy concerns with wearable cameras, offering a lighter, less conspicuous alternative. The glasses support calls, music, and podcasts but do not record video or images. They are part of a broader rollout that includes updated Gen 3 models with cameras, new styles, and the Muse AI assistant coming to thousands of glasses variants.
