AI assistant offers hands-free audio for up to 12 hours on a single charge, with up to an additional 48 hours from the included charging case.
The prescription-ready frames come in 23 colour and lens combinations in either a Ray-Ban Clubmaster style or a Ray-Ban Burbank style.
The company also announced Ray-Ban Meta 3, its next generation camera-enabled smartglasses featuring a 12 MP camera and 3K Ultra HD video recording, a new Meta Glasses collection designed with international icon, LISA, and a limited edition personalisable Meta Fury style.
