Adventurer and Fury for everyday wear

This new collection marks Meta’s debut as a standalone brand and was created in partnership with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica. For those who prefer understated, versatile everyday style, Meta Adventurer features a classic, clean-lined rectangular frame in standard and large sizes that fits right into a daily commute. If you prefer a look with more presence, Meta Fury’s bolder design and thicker frames can give a simple T-shirt-and-jeans outfit a cool, rebellious edge.

Thoughtful details in the gemstones and metal nose pads

Kylie Jenner, who knows what women want, has brought her favorite vintage, slim cat-eye silhouette to Starfire. A delicate small gemstone is set along the upper edge of the right lens, while the packaging comes in a matte black magnetic box. The three-way adjustable nose pads are made of metal, softening the cold feel of a tech product. For those who wear makeup regularly, metal nose pads are easier to wipe clean after sweating and less likely to retain makeup residue.

Make Kylie Jenner your personal AI

Who knew you could carry Kylie’s voice with you this time? Starfire exclusively comes with an AI voice modeled on Kylie herself, so from startup prompts to battery reminders, you’ll hear her signature low, sultry voice. On the hardware side, the glasses feature a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and 3K ultra-high-definition video recording, letting you capture your outfit with one tap even when your hands are full with bags. They also support real-time two-way translation in up to 20 languages, so wearing them abroad is like having a personal interpreter at your side.

Meta’s three smart glasses models prove that you no longer need to compromise between technology and fashion. If you’re still on the fence about your first pair of smart glasses, this new release, which flatters your face shape while offering practical features, may be the perfect reason to take the plunge.
