Which should you buy?
What decides this is not the score, it is the display. Meta Ray-Ban Display shows information on the lens, while Oakley Meta HSTN shows nothing and answers through the speakers. Reading is far faster than listening, but you pay for it in battery, price and discretion.
Oakley Meta HSTN wins the overall score by 0.5 points, but that score averages six criteria and you will only use some of them.
Battery is not close: Oakley Meta HSTN lasts 8 hours against 6 h for the Meta Ray-Ban Display. At that gap, one lasts the day and the other does not.
Both have manufacturer-confirmed language support.
Oakley Meta HSTN is 17 grams lighter, which you feel on your nose after eight hours.
On price, Oakley Meta HSTN is 400 $ cheaper.
