Three Best smart glasses of 2025 tested and reviewed

The Spider-Man-style lenses on the Rokid Max 2 Glasses, which cost $5290, give them a unique look. However, they are not for everyone. The glasses project a 215 inch screen (1,080p at 120 Hz and 600 nits with a 50-degree field of view) and have diopter dials to adjust the focus. However, I had trouble eliminating blurring around edges and there is no stylish electrochromic darkening. The Rokid Station 2 (for $299) adds a Android TV interface for accessing entertainment apps, but also includes a trackpad or air mouse to make control easier. Even Realities’ G1 smart glasses are available for $599

, and they have a projected HUD. However, there are no cameras or speakers. WIRED’s Chris Haslam said that these smart glasses are worth wearing, as they have a HUD projector with crisp, green digital texts (640 x200 pixels). They provide notifications and boast AI assistance for turn-by-turn navigation and audio language translation, but neither feature works perfectly, and the Perplexity-powered AI service can be slow to respond to queries.

RayNeo Air 2S for $400

: TCL-owned RayNeo has a lot of models, and while the Air 2S glasses are cheaper than our other virtual screen picks, I found them inferior in design, fit, and comfort. The 201-inch screen is available in 1,080p at 120 Hz and 600 nits, but the edges are blurry. RayNeo’s software is buggy and unpolished, which is required for 3 DoF. The 2S are only slightly better than the older TCL RayNeo Air 2 XR Glasses (5/10, WIRED Review) with enhanced sound, brightness, and adjustability, but they suffer the same failings.Amazon Echo Frames for $300

: The Amazon Echo Frames (3/10, WIRED Review) are a bit old now, but you can still purchase them. They aren’t very useful. The glasses are IPX4 rated, work as sunglasses and filter blue light. Tech-wise, they have a speaker and microphone in each temple, and you can use them to query or command Alexa, as you would with a smart speaker, but there are no cameras here, making them far less capable than the similarly priced Ray-Ban Meta glasses.Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sunglasses for $149

: The Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sunglasses (7/10, WIRED Review) are much like the Echo Frames, with a choice of frames and lenses. The Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sunglasses (7/10, WIRED Review) are similar to the Echo Frames and come in a variety of frames and lenses.
