As a major fan of Meta glasses myself, I couldn’t help but notice that the popular $350+ shades haven’t been discounted yet for Amazon Prime Day. Perhaps the brand is busy rolling out its new fashion-forward oval-shaped smart glasses with Kylie Jenner, which just launched on June 23.
But, while they’re doing all that, another pair of smart glasses is sitting pretty (and quietly stealing the spotlight) on Amazon. The popular Plunthorn design is marked down to just $60 for Prime Day.
These glasses offer real-time language translation, capture photos and videos, and include a built-in AI assistant with ChatGPT for everyday questions and basic tasks.
Here at The Post, we don’t just diligently fact-check to call out fake news — we also relentlessly price-check to get you inflation-beating bargains you can trust. Before we recommend a single Prime Day purchase, our experienced bargain hunters put every “deal” through our price-checking gauntlet:
But, there’s one catch: this Prime Day deal ends tomorrow, June 26, so there’s not much time left to take advantage of the savings.
Users say Plunthorn’s AI glasses “feel futuristic without being complicated.” And, another customer explained they’re a “solid budget pick if you don’t want to pay Meta x Ray-Ban prices.”
You can connect them to your smartphone via Bluetooth to stream music, take calls or use voice assistance — so you never have to pull your phone out. Plus, they’re IP65 water-resistant, making them ideal for running, cycling and hiking, so you can wear them through almost any adventure.
And they’re also pretty stylish, too. Interchangeable lenses let you switch between sunglasses and clear business-ready lenses. Users mention they are comfortable enough for daily wear.
Enjoy 20% off the smart, yet sporty Oakley Meta HSTN Glasses that come in a wide range of high-performance lenses designed to match your style.
The upgraded Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 features better battery life and an improved camera from the first-generation Wayfarer Smart Glasses.
Priced at just $15, these budget smart shades are a fraction of the $199+ Meta glasses — yet still powered by ChatGPT, with 164-language translation, music playback and hands-free calling.
