Meta's 2026 glasses, by price

Announced at Meta Connect, 23 September 2026 · bar length scaled to $1,299
VR Glassesspring 2027
$1,299
Not an agent device yet. 100 g, a virtual display, the full Quest library and Xbox Cloud Gaming. The story here is entertainment and productivity screens — not ambient agent context. Arriving after the assistant features you are buying for.
Ray-Ban Displayon sale now
$799
The one with a screen. Shows notifications, navigation and answers in the lens. Previously almost impossible to buy; now available. Best fit if you want the agent's output in your field of view rather than in your ear.
Ray-Ban Gen 3order now
$449
Camera + six microphones. The flagship wearable agent surface: wind-resistant voice capture and spatial audio. Camera on your face is the trade — check whether the people around you are comfortable with it.
Ray-Ban Gen 3Lisa frames
$399
Same hardware, different frame. The collaboration editions change the style rather than the agent capability — worth knowing before you pay the flagship price for looks alone.
Audio Glassescamera-free
$249
The honest compromise. No camera at all, the thinnest pair Meta has made, and a fraction of the price. Hands-free assistant access and audio without pointing a lens at the room — the one to try first if privacy is the concern.
Gen 3 "Adventurer"entry tier
$249
Announced, not yet findable. The entry-level tier Meta quoted at the keynote. Treat the price as stated rather than as available until it shows up on the store.

Price is not capability for an agent. Every pair above pairs with Meta's assistant, not with whatever you run — so the useful comparison is interface and privacy posture (camera, always-on audio, whose cloud holds the stream), not dollars per unit of intelligence. Hover any row for the trade-off.
