## Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses See Black Friday Discounts
Meta AI-Powered Ray-Ban Sunglasses Are On Sale For...
Alright, tech lovers, listen up! If you've ever fantasized about a pair of sunglasses that could not only shield your eyes from the sun but also double as a personal assistant, your Black Friday dreams might just be coming true. Select Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses models, specifically the older Gen 1 versions, are getting some sweet discounts this year. I know, Gen 1 isn't the latest and greatest, but hear me out – they still pack a punch, and the price drop makes them a seriously tempting option.
Now, these aren’t the brand-new, super-powered Gen 2 models with extended battery life and those fancy upgraded cameras. However, they still boast a lot of the same core features. We're talking Meta AI support, integrated speakers and a camera for snapping pics and videos on the go, and more. Think of it as getting a taste of the future without breaking the bank.
It looks like, for now, the discounts are focused on the classic, iconic Wayfarer frames. And you know what? That’s perfectly fine by me. You can snag a pair for as low as $239.20 (normally $299) thanks to Amazon's sale. That's a pretty significant saving.

For the uninitiated, these aren’t your grandpa’s Ray-Bans. Tucked inside those slightly thicker arms is the tech that lets you ask Meta AI pretty much anything, capture photos and videos, and stream your favorite tunes. Seriously, you can even point them at something and ask Meta AI to identify it! That alone could make them a game-changer for travel. I can see myself using that feature constantly while exploring a new city.
And the best part? They're relatively discreet. Most people probably won't even realize you're wearing a tiny computer on your face unless they take a really good look. That's a plus in my book – I’m not trying to look like a cyborg, just someone who appreciates cool tech.
The key features include that ultra-wide 12MP camera, a five-microphone system to make sure your voice commands are crystal clear, a charging and travel case (essential!), and a dedicated button to summon the AI assistant. Sharing those photos and videos on Facebook or Instagram is, naturally, super easy.
Look, these AI-powered smart glasses offer a simpler experience than something like a dedicated AR or VR headset. If you're looking for full-on immersion, you might want to check out Amazon's deals on the Meta Quest 3S VR headset. Speaking of which...
Amazon has a couple of interesting deals running on the Quest 3S:
- The Meta Quest 3S 128GB model is down to $250 (from $300) and includes a $50 Amazon gift card.
- The Meta Quest 3S bundle, featuring the 256GB model, a copy of *Batman: Arkham Shadow*, and a $49 Amazon Gift Card, is available for $329 (down from $400).
And these deals are exclusive to Amazon. So, don't wait around!
Meta Quest 3S VR Headset Black Friday Deals
- Meta Quest 3S 128GB: Gorilla Tag Bundle + $50 Amazon Credit: $250 (was $300)
- Meta Quest 3S 256GB: Batman Bundle + $49 Amazon Credit: $329 (was $400)
The Quest 3S is, obviously, a lot bigger than the Ray-Ban AI Smart Glasses, but it also offers a significantly more powerful experience. It's a complete, standalone, wireless VR setup. Plus, you can connect it to your PC or PS5 for more demanding VR games. I think these bundles are a great way to dip your toes into VR gaming without spending a fortune.
