Meta’s next generation of smart glasses is here, with a lower starting price and plenty of new looks. At Meta Connect 2026, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta Ray-Ban Gen 3, with the Adventurer style starting at $249.
The expanded collection offers 51 style combinations, adjustable temple tips, and audio upgrades designed to help the glasses capture both your voice and the sounds around you.
Spatial audio and six microphones
Meta highlighted Dolby Atmos spatial audio capture, designed to preserve the sense of where sounds originate around the wearer. The idea is that a recording captures more of the experience of being in a room, with sounds appearing to come from their original directions.
The glasses also feature six microphones, which Meta says help capture the wearer’s voice clearly in noisy environments and reduce wind noise. (Zuckerberg used the example of taking a call on a jet ski.)
