00:00My team and I tested the best smart glasses that you can buy today to help you find your perfect
00:04pair. Every pick comes with our Tom's Guide Likes badge of approval and you'll find the best deals
00:08for everything that I'm sharing linked down below. So let's get right into it. If you're looking for
00:14smart glasses that aren't so smart looking that's exactly what the Even Realities G2 smart glasses
00:20offer and they're actually the pair I've owned and have had the longest. Unlike most of our other
00:25picks, these glasses don't have any cameras, speakers, or massive displays inside. The G2
00:31features a bright AR heads-up display controlled by gestures on the brim or the optional R2 smart
00:37and fitness ring. It'll show you the latest news, your calendar and reminders, as well as live
00:42translation, conversation insights, and my personal favorite, prompter for reading video scripts while
00:47maintaining eye contact. At certain angles, yes, you can sometimes notice the green display, but for the
00:52most part, these are very incognito, which is why I and a lot of other people really like these. And
00:58you can check out my full buyer skip video if you want to learn more.
01:04The Rayneo Air 4 Pros are the world's first AR glasses to deliver HDR10 with super crisp 200-inch
01:11visuals for playing games from your console or getting some work done on a virtual monitor.
01:15One of my favorite things to do is pair this with the ROG Ally X to comfortably play games on
01:20a larger
01:21screen. I also really like the banging ults and speakers on the side. They have plenty of oomph and
01:26really help with that feeling of immersion. The Rayneo Air 4 Pros offer one of the most affordable
01:32ways to jump on the AR glasses bandwagon without compromising a premium visual experience.
01:40When you combine the iconic look of Ray-Ban frames, integrated cameras, and AI smarts, you get one of the
01:46most popular and best-looking smart glasses. The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2s offer lots of comfortable
01:51design options, all-day battery life, and weigh just 50 grams. The 12-megapixel camera is great
01:57for FPV photos and videos, and you can easily share them straight to Instagram. Something I didn't think
02:03I'd appreciate as much are the built-in speakers, which are surprisingly very good with punchy bass,
02:08and the microphones also offer excellent call clarity.
02:12Meta AI is a big part of the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses, whether it's live translation,
02:17visual intelligence, or just the conversational aspects of having an assistant that you can
02:21talk to, which adds a new level of helpfulness. These are the glasses to get if you want quick
02:26access to cameras, integrated speakers, and an AI companion, or if you just want the most
02:31mainstream smart glasses, which there's nothing wrong with that.
02:37Now, if you take that same formula but cater it to outdoor sports enthusiasts,
02:41you get the Oakley Meta Smart Glasses. The sporty style isn't going to be for everyone,
02:46but the wraparound lens shape effectively removes glare, and they're replaceable if they ever get
02:51damaged or you just want to change up the look. Unlike the Ray-Ban Metas, the 12-megapixel camera
02:56is actually mounted in the center and has a wider 122-degree field of view. It also gets video
03:02stabilization, which is great for those fast action shots. Beyond Meta AI, you can get updates
03:08and audio prompts with key fitness metrics from Garmin or Strava. Then, if you're recording your
03:14walk or run or other activity, the glasses can actually automatically stitch together a short
03:19video with stats like your distance and pace overlaid. If you're an athlete or sports enthusiast
03:25looking to capture content or simply combine your eye protection and earbuds into one device,
03:30there really isn't anything else like the Meta Vanguards. So, those are the best smart glasses
03:35that you can get today, but I'm curious which pair are you currently rocking and which of our picks
03:39are you planning to upgrade to? And remember, everything that you saw in this video has officially
03:43earned the Tom's Guide Likes badge. If there are any other smart glasses that you want me to test
