Ray-Ban Meta Audio AI Glasses Cost More While Ditching a Key Feature: Review

What happened

• The glasses cost more than some entry-level models while offering many of the same functions, according to Bloomberg’s review.
• The product was announced last month and is positioned as an unusual proposition because it omits a key feature.
