Meta rolling out audio upgrades, turn-by-turn navigation for Ray-Ban smart glasses

Meta’s most recent updates for its Ray-Ban smart glasses deliver upgrades to audio playback as well as new turn-by-turn walking navigation.

The most recent system update for Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses is version 129. This update brings two main changes, both to audio playback. Users can now balance audio between the two speakers to best suit their hearing, or set both speakers to mono playback instead of stereo.

Mono Audio: Hear the same sound on both sides. If you have hearing anomalies, Mono Audio combines the left and right channels so nothing gets missed on the side you can’t hear. Applies to sounds your glasses make, like Meta AI and notifications. Turn it on in Device settings › Audio › Accessibility.

Audio Balance: Shift sound toward your left or right ear, one step at a time, until the balance feels right for your hearing. Applies to sounds your glasses make like Meta AI responses. Adjust it in Device settings › Audio › Accessibility.

Beyond that, update version 128 is broadly available after first debuting earlier in September and it brings some key updates including Spatial Audio support, further anti-tampering tweaks to stop the camera from working if the privacy LED has been mesed with, and also new location features.

Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses now feature turn-by-turn walking navigation directions. This pulls your location from your phone and you can also share navigation from your mapping app directly to Meta AI to be used on the glasses.
