I rarely buy new tech any more. Instead I opt for previous-gen products that are still incredibly impressive from a specs point of view but maybe, more importantly, a fraction of the price they would be new.

That is absolutely the case for the refurbished versions of the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1) AI glasses, which cost just £239. It gets better than that, though, because Meta has slashed their price by a further 20%, which means they can be yours for just £179 (was £239).

Deal ends 25th May

In our four-star Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses review, we were very impressed by the impeccable design with over 150 customisation options to choose from. They are, quite simply, one of the best-looking pairs of smart glasses on the market right now.

Aside from the design, one of the main highlights is the 'Look and Ask' feature, which snaps a photo at the point of you asking a question so that it can accurately answer context-sensitive questions. This goes beyond simply asking an AI bot like ChatGPT and instead makes interacting with AI feel somehow more natural.

The stills camera tops out at a resolution of 12MP, while the video recording is full HD (1080p). Our reviewer loved being able to capture video from his point of view. And if you're concerned about privacy, then you'll be pleased to know that "while you’re capturing a video or snapping a picture, a bright light on the right side of the glasses will automatically illuminate to let people around you know that they’re being recorded."

This offer is on a refurbished version of the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1) AI Glasses. If you'd prefer a new pair, then they are discounted down to just £224.25 (was £299). We've also got a dedicated Meta discount codes hub with more ways to save on Meta products.
