I switched my Ray-Ban Metas for L’Atitude 52°N for a month, and while there’s cool features for explorers, it’s no contest
The L’Atitude 52°N smart glasses offer stylish design and useful features for travelers, but they come with significant drawbacks. Priced at $399 with a subscription model, they may not appeal to everyone due to their divisive aesthetics and performance issues. Overall, while they have potential, they struggle to compete with established products like the Ray-Ban Metas.
- ▪The L’Atitude 52°N smart glasses are priced at $399 and require a subscription for full features after the first year.
- ▪They feature decent cameras, loud speakers, and rapid live translation, but have touch control issues and a bulky case.
- ▪The design may not suit everyone, making them a tough sell compared to competitors like Ray-Ban Metas.
