Meta is rolling out a significant software update (v21) for its Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses, introducing a futuristic way to experience music and a “superpower” for your hearing. Published on December 17, 2025, the update focuses heavily on multimodal AI and specialized audio processing to make the wearable tech more useful in everyday life. Oakley Meta Vanguard Glasses All Meta Glasses Here 1. “Hey Meta, Play a Song to Match This View” The headline feature for music lovers is a new collaboration with Spotify. Using the glasses’ built-in cameras and Meta’s computer vision, users can now ask the AI to “soundtrack” their current environment. How it works: By saying, “Hey Meta, play a song to match this view,” the glasses analyze what you are looking at—whether it’s a sunset, a busy city street, or a festive holiday display—and cross-reference that visual data with your Spotify listening habits. The Result: It creates a personalized, context-aware playlist on the fly. For instance, looking at a Christmas tree might trigger a holiday-themed mix, while a scenic mountain view might prompt more atmospheric, cinematic tracks. Availability: This feature is launching in English across several major markets, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and much of Europe. 2. Conversation Focus: Hearing Through the Noise Perhaps even more practical is the new Conversation Focus feature. First teased at Meta Connect earlier this year, it is now entering Early Access for users in the US and Canada. The Problem: Trying to talk to someone in a crowded restaurant, a loud commute, or at a party can be a struggle for anyone. The Solution: The glasses use their directional microphone array and AI processing to isolate the voice of the person standing directly in front of you. It kemudian amplifies that voice through the open-ear speakers while suppressing ambient background noise. Control: Users can adjust the level of “amplification” simply by swiping the temple of the glasses, much like adjusting the volume of a song. 3. More Than Just Ray-Bans While the Ray-Ban Wayfarer remains the flagship model, this update also applies to the Oakley Meta HSTN and the newly released Oakley Meta Vanguard sports glasses. The Vanguard models are receiving additional specialized updates, including: Voice Shortcuts: Athletes can now use one-word commands like “Photo” or “Video” without needing to say the “Hey Meta” wake word first. Garmin Integration: Users can create and start workouts (e.g., “Start a 30-minute run at 8:00 pace”) purely via voice, which then syncs with their Garmin watches. How to Get the Update The v21 software is rolling out gradually. To access the “Conversation Focus” and early AI features, users typically need to be enrolled in the Meta Early Access Program via the Meta View app. For most others, the Spotify and general audio improvements will arrive as the global rollout continues through the holiday season.
