Uncovered surprising capabilities of Oakley Meta HSTNs following a week of usage
=================================================================================
The Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses are making waves in the world of wearable technology, especially for athletes. Senior Editor Nicholas Sutrich, who has been on a fitness journey since 2020, has put these glasses to the test during various workouts, and the results are impressive.
The Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses provide substantially better image stabilization during running activities compared to the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, especially when recording at 1080p resolution. This improvement is due primarily to more effective electronic image stabilization (EIS) enabled by the Oakley’s higher resolution sensor and optimized software, making them well-suited for athletic use like running and gym workouts.
Testers noted the Oakley’s shorter, straighter frame arms contribute to a more stable capture during exercise, which could enhance stabilization benefits during movement. The glasses handle stabilization well on various terrains and running activities, making them advantageous for athletes who want hands-free video capture.
However, it's important to note that the Oakley Meta smart glasses are not suitable for burpees due to their design, causing them to slowly inch off the face during the exercise. This is not an issue with the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses.
The Oakley Meta smart glasses are more than just a pair of sunglasses. They can help visually log workout adventures alongside favorite fitness smartwatches. With their unique colors and Oakley's patented PRIZM lenses, they offer an appealing aesthetic. The glasses can record runs and create videos, which can be useful for personal historical records.
The Oakley Meta smart glasses can capture a runner's workout in a hands-free way that a smartphone cannot. They are suitable for various types of workouts, including CrossFit. The default 1080p mode on Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses delivers the best battery life and stabilization among any camera smart glasses tested.
In addition, the limited-edition frames of Oakley Meta smart glasses are available for $499. Additional styles and lenses for Oakley Meta smart glasses will be available in the next few weeks for $100 less.
