Smart glasses company Solos today announced two new entries in the wearable tech space: the AirGo A5 and AirGo V2. Solos says its mission is to “make wearable AI more intuitive, accessible, and integrated into daily life,” so the idea behind these new spectacles is to ditch the gimmicks in favor of wearability and features people will actually use.
Here’s a breakdown on what we can expect when these glasses hit the market later this year.

The AirGo A5 are audio-first, lightweight smart glasses designed for people who want everyday eyewear with intelligence and audio, but without the bulk or distraction of some wearables.
AirGo A5’s cost less than industry leading Ray-Ban Metas, and are most notable for lacking a camera. This allows for lower weight, and also means your specs look more like normal glasses. The downside is obvious: no pictures.
Here’s a breakdown of the A5’s features:
-
Hands-free operation
-
Built-in SolosChat AI agent
-
Directional audio that minimizes sound leakage
-
Enhanced bass and high-quality audio
-
List price: starting at $249
-
Available Q3 2025
There’s something to be said for glasses that only do the things you want them to do instead of trying to do everything. I’m keenly interested in the audio quality and the comfort of these glasses. If they sound appreciably better than Ray Ban Metas, and they’re comfortable enough to wear every day, they’d be a solid choice for a lot of smart glasses users.
If you’d like a camera, the AirGo V2 might be your style.

V2 are camera-first smart glasses, aimed at “travelers, content creators, and anyone wanting to document and share life in the moment,” according to Solos. Life-sharing is courtesy of an image-stabilized 16MP camera capable of shooting HD video. V2 also come equipped with SolosChat 3.0 AI, that uses ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. All that tech is contained Solos modular system that allows users to swap out frame fronts at will.
Here’s a breakdown of the V2’s features:
-
16MP camera the company says is “the world’s slimmest.”
-
Electronic image stabilization
-
Low power wifi to save battery use
-
SolosChat 3.0 AI that can identify objects, translate signs, and get answers from multiple AI models.
-
Directional audio made to minimizes sound leakage
-
High-quality audio, featuring enhanced bass
-
Swappable battery
-
List price: starting at $299.

I’ll be testing these smart glasses in real world conditions, as well as comparing them to the similarly priced Meta Ray Bans, in the near future, so check back for in-depth coverage.
