At the same time, I kinda love Metas new blind box Meta Glasses with
BlackPink and White Lotus star Lisa. Call me a hypocrite, but the design collaboration is frankly genius, and while it isnt for me (nor something I want to be bombarded with), as a one-off experiment, it feels set to be a runaway success.

Are you ready to drop some money on the Meta Glasses Lisa Edition? original sound - TechRadar To catch you up to speed, alongside its new Meta VR Glasses , Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 smart specs , and its first-ever cameraless glasses in the Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses, we were also treated to a new Meta Glasses style at Meta Connect 2026.

The Meta Glasses are Metas own-brand smart specs. It still works with EssilorLuxottica experts on the designs, but they arent branded as such making them more accessible as they dont carry the same price premium a named brand would.

Its also where Meta has debuted collab designs with celebrities. It kicked things off with Kylie Jenner with the Meta Starfire Kylie Edition shape theyre much more rounded than anything Meta has released before, though the name always makes me think of the Australian pop singer and has now
announced a partnership with Lisa.

The specs of the Meta Glasses havent changed here. They still boast a 12MP ultra-wide camera with a 3K recording resolution, a battery life Meta rates
at over eight hours, plus open-ear speakers for listening to music and six microphones for recording audio and taking calls.

(Image credit: Meta / Lisa) Lisas glasses differ entirely due to their design. They come with black and pink lens and frame options (clearly inspired by Lisas world-famous K-pop group), and Lisas star icon on each stem tip.

Importantly, each pair also comes with a random charm one of 12, two of
which are extra rare of cute dogs cast in different poses and colors. Theyre inspired by Lisas well-documented love of her pets and blind boxes herein lies why I love Metas approach to add a random element to its specs.

Collaborative designs that incorporate some aspect of the celebritys persona are always appreciated by the fans, and Lisa has expressed so much love for random blind boxes that their inclusion here feels like a slam dunk. What to read next I want to just love my Meta AI glasses, but I cant get over privacy fears Meta is rumored to be launching camera-free smart glasses codenamed
Luna Are Meta smart glasses doomed to fail like Google Glass?

Plus, while some charms are a bit more special than others, I personally love all 12, and theyre such a small aspect (and similar enough) that I dont see anyone being truly devastated whichever one they get nor needing to seek out all 12 by buying up as many Meta Glasses as possible.

If you want to get in on the Meta Glasses Lisa edition randomness, the new specs start at $339 (UK and Australian pricing TBC). @techradar
