September 2026

INMO recalls Air 3 smart glasses after owners report burns near the ear

The fix is a free software update, so nothing goes back in the mail. The safety agency still says to stop wearing them until it's installed.

Nuance's $829 glasses double as FDA-cleared hearing aids

No camera and no AI assistant, just hearing aids in the arms, from the company that makes Meta's Ray-Bans. New this time: Bluetooth calls, a double-tap mode switch and up to 10 hours of battery.

A 93-gram tethered headset just raised $1.29 million on Kickstarter

Unseen Reality's URXR One drops the battery and the computer to hit 93 grams, and backers paid $800 for one. Nothing has shipped, and mid-October is a target the company set itself.

RayNeo's GT Max trades birdbath optics for a prism, and a wider view

RayNeo's $399 GT Max is heavier than the cheaper Viture Pro 2 but felt more comfortable in a first hands-on, because its prism optics keep the weight off your nose and widen the view to 59 degrees.

News
HTC lets a bystander say stop filming

A voice command anyone nearby can use is the one new idea here. The hardware is a year old and unchanged.

August 2026

A $449 challenger out-shoots Meta and still says wait

L'Atitude 52°N puts a 12-megapixel Sony sensor and landscape video into a pair of camera glasses, beating what Meta ships. Android Headlines' reviewer still says hold off: the frame slides, the assistant is thin, and the battery drains flat in standby.

Update
RayNeo's iO glasses have four microphones and no camera

There are no speakers either, so nothing plays back. The iO reaches stores on September 4 at $479, or $529 with the charging case.

xMEMS says its XMC-1200 micro fan cools 10C at 1W and fits in a glasses temple arm, with production a year out.
