Meta's new VR glasses are due in spring 2027 and will cost US$1.299,99. The company showed the model at its annual event in Menlo Park alongside camera-free Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses and the Muse Charm smart basic fob. The lineup expands Meta's hardware built around artificial intelligence and privacy.
The VR Glasses will sit apart from the Quest 4, which is due in 2027. They weigh 100 grams and use a MicroOLED 5K display with Dolby Vision and Atmos. A small puck carried in a pocket handles the processing. The headset needs no controllers.
Mark Zuckerberg presented glasses as Meta's computing platform. The wider catalogue gives that plan a clear commercial shape. CNBC described the event as part of Meta's shift toward AI devices, away from a strategy built only around traditional VR headsets.
That is the divide.
Privacy sits at the cheaper end of the range. Ray-Ban Meta Audio are Meta's first glasses without a camera. They retain microphones and audio features, weigh 43 grams and offer up to 12 hours of use. Pre-orders start at US$349, with shipping beginning on 13 October 2026, Reuters reported.
The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 starts at US$449. It has a 12-megapixel camera and six microphones, with a battery rated for nine hours. Reuters and TechCrunch describe the third-generation model as a camera-equipped step up. Meta is focusing on everyday wear, sound and longer battery life. Ray-Ban Meta Display, with its holographic lens display, will be available in Europe from US$799.
Meta also showed Meta Adventurer as its lower-priced line. Models start at US$249. The products span different price points and levels of social acceptance. The camera-free version speaks directly to growing privacy concerns. Reuters linked that format to rising sensitivity around recording in public spaces.
For people who do not want a camera near their face, the difference is practical rather than cosmetic.
Muse takes the strategy beyond eyewear. Muse Charm is a basic fob with a display and speakers, plus two cameras, a fingerprint sensor, a microphone and 5G. Meta did not announce its price. The company said the device would arrive in time for the 2026 holiday season, with deliveries expected in December, CNBC reported. It is meant to keep the Muse agent available at all times and connect it with the user's apps.
Information from the presentation, Muse can cancel subscriptions and manage purchases. Paid plans start at US$20 a month. Meta says Muse Secure VM and a Sentinel agent will protect users by auditing the agent's actions.
Meta is entering this phase from a strong market position. The company holds an 81.3% share of the global AI glasses market and sold more than 7 million units in 2025. Those figures give the new range an existing base. This launch is not purely speculative.
Several questions remain: Meta has not announced a price for Muse Charm or launch details for Spain. The Quest 4 also sits outside the announcement's basic hardware offer.
Meta has set prices and privacy choices around glasses as an AI platform, with camera-free entry models, a display-equipped premium option and a separate VR product. Success in Spain will depend on availability and the missing price of Muse Charm.
