All the new hardware from Meta Connect 2026
Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled several new products and addressed the issues of privacy at this year's Meta Connect keynote. You can check out our full recap of the event for all the details, but here are all the major hardware announcements:
- Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) glasses — a refresh with longer battery life and a few new frame styles. Available today starting at $449.
- Ray-Ban Meta Audio — Meta's first pair of camera-free glasses. They will ship on October 13, and can be pre-ordered starting at $349.
- Meta VR Glasses — a new ultra thin VR headset aimed at entertainment and productivity. They will cost $1,299, and be available this spring.
- Muse Charm — AI device that holds an AI agent on your keychain. It will be available this fall, but pricing has not yet been announced.
Apple's Beats 360 over-ear headphones are here
It's very hard not to compare the new Beats 360 headphones with Apple's own AirPods Max 2. But when you match the two up, the newly-announced cans from Beats offer something Apple's more expensive headphones don't: proper sweat resistance. Yes, these are over-ear headphones with quick pairing, auto-device switching and Find My that you can actually wear to the gym.
They feature an official IPX4 sweat rating, swappable modular cushions that automatically adjust sound settings and, at $350, they're significantly cheaper than the $549 AirPods Max 2. Partly due to being built from plastic rather than aluminum.

Amazon reportedly blocks Meta's AI agent from buying products
The annual Meta Connect event kicks off later this week, and we're expecting several new devices and a lot of discussion about AI. However, it appears Amazon is putting a bit of a crimp in Meta's plans — by blocking its new AI agent from shopping on the site.
Meta introduced Muse earlier this month as an AI agent that "doesn't just answer questions, it actually does the work". That includes filling out forms, negotiating for you and even being able to pay for purchases through Stripe. But according to GeekWire, Amazon isn't playing ball. The site reports that people trying to use it to buy things on Amazon are being met with a pop-up saying the AI agent violates Amazon's Conditions of Use. The retailer has previously blocked agents from Google, OpenAI and Perplexity.
