Key Takeaways Meta’s latest $800 Display smart glasses allowed CEO Mark Zuckerberg to take a work call on a jet ski, and have the audio come in crystal clear.
Zuckerberg insisted that the person on the other end of the call couldn’t tell that he was on a jet ski.
Meta has a solid long-term vision for its smart glasses products and is already preparing its 2028 offerings.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stands behind his company’s products. The 42-year-old CEO recently vouched for Meta’s $800 smart glasses, insisting that the glasses allowed him to take calls in loud places with crystal-clear audio for both him and the call recipient.
“I’ve taken business calls on a jet ski,” he said in an interview published earlier this week with Complex. “The other person could not tell that I was on it.”
Zuckerberg said that the Meta glasses have a microphone placed in the nose pad, which only picks up necessary noise and allows for clear audio. He claimed that the audio clarity of the glasses is good enough that “you could literally be in a wind tunnel and it would sound completely clear to the person on the other side.”
This means that it is easier than ever to work while on the go — even on a jet ski. “You don’t necessarily want to tell the other person that you’re on a jet ski,” Zuckerberg joked.
Zuckerberg, one of the richest people in the world, is the face of Meta’s lineup of smart glasses. The products range from the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) at $379 to the $800 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, which are Meta’s first glasses with a built-in display that Zuckerberg revealed in September. The Display glasses come with a wristband that picks up electrical signals in the arm so wearers can use subtle hand gestures to control the display. The screen shows alerts, texts, photos and live translations.
