For the first time, Meta is offering trade-in discounts for its smart glasses with a pilot program that\u2019s only running through December 31st. According to a legal page on Meta\u2019s website<\/a>, trade-in discounts can be applied to the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, Oakley Meta HSTN<\/a>, and Oakley Meta Vanguard<\/a>. Notably, the Meta Ray-Ban Display<\/a> didn\u2019t make that list. Limited edition and refurbished glasses also aren\u2019t eligible for the discount.<\/p>\n

You can trade in your current pair of first-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses if you\u2019re looking to upgrade, but Meta is also surprisingly offering trade-in credit for certain pairs of earbuds. Here\u2019s Meta\u2019s full list of eligible ones:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that there isn\u2019t currently a pair of \u201cApple AirPods Pro 4,\u201d so it\u2019s unclear if Meta was referring to the AirPods 4 or the AirPods Pro 3.<\/p>\n

To get the trade-in discount, you have to purchase your glasses directly from Meta<\/a>. Add a pair of eligible glasses to your cart, and you should hopefully see a box with the trade-in offer right above it in the cart. Some Reddit users reported having to try different browsers<\/a> before finally getting the trade-in offer, so maybe try swapping your browser if you don\u2019t see it at first.<\/p>\n

Discounts vary based on your device and the condition it\u2019s in, but Meta seems to be offering up to $113 off. That\u2019s a decent dent in the usual $379 price tag on the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2<\/a>, which offer twice as much battery life<\/a> as the previous generation along with a moderate camera improvement. It\u2019s worth noting that the first-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses<\/a> are on sale right now, so if you don\u2019t need all-day battery or don\u2019t have another wearable to trade in, your best bet might be going with that less expensive option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time, Meta is offering trade-in discounts for its smart glasses with a pilot program that\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[203,61,60,1226,43,216,80,2934],"class_list":["post-157821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gadgets","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-meta","tag-news","tag-tech","tag-technology","tag-wearable"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
