Which should you buy?
What decides this is not the score, it is the display. Oakley Meta Vanguard shows nothing and answers through the speakers, while RayNeo X3 Pro shows information on the lens. Reading is far faster than listening, but you pay for it in battery, price and discretion.
Oakley Meta Vanguard wins the overall score by 0.9 points, but that score averages six criteria and you will only use some of them.
Battery is not close: Oakley Meta Vanguard lasts 9 hours against 1.5 h for the RayNeo X3 Pro. At that gap, one lasts the day and the other does not.
Both have manufacturer-confirmed language support.
Oakley Meta Vanguard is 10 grams lighter, which you feel on your nose after eight hours.
On price, Oakley Meta Vanguard is 800 $ cheaper.
Watch the warranty: RayNeo X3 Pro offers 1 year and Oakley Meta Vanguard offers 3 years.
