Solos is pushing its AirGo smart glasses further toward a lighter, camera-less design. The new AirGo A6 keep the focus on voice interactions, open-ear audio, and hands-free AI features, while dropping the camera hardware that can make smart glasses feel more intrusive.
The result is a wearable built around a simple tradeoff: less visual capture, less weight, and a slimmer frame, while still keeping an AI assistant close enough to answer questions, translate speech, manage reminders, play music, and handle calls.
A lighter frame without cameras
The headline change is weight. Last year’s AirGo A5 weighed 36 to 40 grams depending on the frame style. The new AirGo A6 weigh around 19 grams.
That is a large shift for eyewear, where small changes can affect how comfortable a device feels over a long day. Solos appears to have achieved part of that reduction through thinner temple arms, even though those arms still need to hold speakers, batteries, and other electronics.
The camera-less design also changes the social meaning of the product. These are still smart glasses, but they are not positioned as a device for capturing what the wearer sees. Instead, the AirGo A6 rely on voice interactions as the main way to use the built-in AI assistant.
For comparison, the new Meta Glasses announced last month weigh around 54 to nearly 60 grams depending on the style. That gives the AirGo A6 a very different weight profile, though the source article does not state final pricing or availability for Solos’ new model.
What the AirGo A6 can do
The AirGo A6 are built around hands-free AI-powered features. The assistant can answer questions through voice commands, and the glasses also support real-time translations and calendar reminders.
Audio is another major part of the product. With speakers positioned behind your ears, the AirGo A6 can be used to listen to music or take calls while still letting the wearer hear the surrounding environment.
That open-ear approach matters because these glasses are not described as a sealed audio device. The source emphasizes that users can listen and communicate without fully blocking out what is happening around them.
Solos also says the new glasses will support “full prescription lens compatibility.” That matters for any smart glasses product that wants to function as everyday eyewear rather than a second device used only in specific situations.
Styles, transparency, and the visible electronics trend
Pricing and availability for the AirGo A6 have not been finalized yet. What Solos has shared is that the glasses will come in multiple styles, including transparent options that reveal the electronics inside.
That transparent-frame detail fits the broader positioning of the device. The AirGo A6 are not trying to hide the fact that they are electronic eyewear, but they also avoid cameras, which are often the most sensitive component in face-worn devices.
The design choices point to a narrower idea of smart glasses: audio, AI assistance, translation, reminders, and calls, all inside a lighter frame. The absence of cameras means the device cannot offer camera-based features described for other smart glasses, but it may make the product easier to understand for people who mainly want a wearable assistant.
Privacy accessories for AirGo V2
Alongside the AirGo A6, Solos also announced new privacy-focused accessories for its AirGo V2 smart glasses, which debuted last year. Unlike the A6, the V2 includes a camera, so the accessories focus on making that hardware easier to cover or avoid using.
The new options include $39 transparent, non-powered replacement temples in various colors. Solos also introduced a clip-on privacy shield that physically blocks the V2’s camera from seeing anything.
There is also a $49 bundle that combines the privacy shield with clip-on sunglasses. Those sunglasses add UV protection and glare reduction. For buyers who want the full set of privacy accessories, Solos offers a $79 bundle.
The privacy shield is a direct physical answer to a practical concern. Instead of relying only on software settings or user promises, it blocks the camera’s view. That makes the accessory easy to understand for wearers and for people nearby.
Why this version matters
The AirGo A6 show one possible direction for smart glasses: make them lighter, remove the camera, and lean into voice-first AI. That approach does not try to make the glasses into a visual recording device. It makes them more like a wearable audio interface for questions, translations, reminders, music, and calls.
At the same time, Solos’ AirGo V2 accessories show that camera privacy remains part of the smart glasses conversation. The company is offering both a camera-less model and physical tools for people who already have camera-equipped glasses.
For now, the missing details are pricing and availability for the AirGo A6. Until those are finalized, the clearest facts are the weight, the camera-less design, the voice-based AI assistant, prescription lens compatibility, and the separate privacy accessories for the AirGo V2.
