In all honesty, I've never owned smart glasses before, and I'm not 100% sure what the term "smart glasses" really means either. But do I want a pair? Absolutely. These Black Friday deals are proving smart glasses are more affordable than I thought, and have fully convinced me that now is a great time to try some out.

I've been doing some research on the best smart glasses on the market, and it seems like every pair has a specific set of skills. There are augmented reality (AR) glasses for gamers, to specs with live-streaming cameras built-in for socialites, to Amazon audio glasses with headphones and voice assistants built in too.

VITURE Pro XR/AR Glasses
Premium choice
VITURE Pro XR/AR Glasses: was US$499 now US$399 at Amazon

Save $100: These AR/XR specs from VITURE offer a new immersive way to experience content on a larger display, and from researching these glasses, it seems that it's essentially like wearing a 135-inch portable USB monitor on your face.

They can plug into your desktop and consoles (including the Nintendo Switch) but that's not all, these glasses have a 120Hz refresh rate, spatial photo and video, plus features like VR videos and multiple screen options (just imagine this on your next flight).

UK Deal – £489 £379 at Amazon

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses: Wayfarer
For Social
Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses: Wayfarer : was US$299 now US$239 at Ray-Ban

Save $60: I've always been sceptical of anything created by Meta (although I love my Meta Quest 3 VR headset) but I'd definitely be willing to give the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses a try, as I've heard positive things, and this Black Friday deal is the perfect excuse to try them out.

These specs have Meta AI built-in, plus an ultra-wide 12mp camera, and open-ear speakers. They certainly look smart too and come in a range of styles, can be polarized for outdoor use, and be fitted with prescription lenses.

UK Deal – £329 £263 at Meta | £299 at John Lewis
