Summary
Solos ’ new smart glasses are the audio-only AirGo A6 and the second iteration of its camera-enabled glasses, the Solos AirGo V2. The AirGo V2 glasses can also be paired with a new Privacy Kit, a set of clip-on accessories that let wearers control what their camera glasses can access. Selling a privacy kit as a clip-on accessory is perhaps not the most effective way to stave off concerns about people running around with small, discreet cameras on their faces. Solos’ first camera-enabled glasses, the Solos AirGo Vision, launched in 2024. Meta has been the dominant force in the smart glasses market, but other big companies are trying to fill in the cracks.
