Viture Launches Vonder Audio-Only AI Glasses at $299 With Best Buy Pre-Orders Starting September 28

Viture has entered the audio-only AI glasses race. The company — best known for its Viture One AR display glasses — is launching Vonder, a new pair of audio-only smart glasses priced from $299. Pre-orders open September 28 on Viture's website and at Best Buy stores.

Key Features

• Audio-only design: Built-in speakers and microphones with no camera or display — addressing the privacy concerns driving demand for camera-free wearables
• AI assistant integration: Voice-activated AI for hands-free tasks, music, calls, and notifications
• Price: Starting at $299, undercutting Meta's Ray-Ban Meta Audio ($349)
• Retail availability: Both online and at Best Buy stores in the US

Competitive Landscape

The audio-only smart glasses category is heating up. Meta's Ray-Ban Meta Audio (announced at Connect, $349) and Google's upcoming Android XR audio glasses (expected fall 2026 with Gemini AI) both target the same market. Vonder is the first to offer Best Buy retail presence.

Should You Buy?

If you want audio-only AI glasses now, the Vonder's $299 price and Best Buy availability make it an accessible entry point. But Meta's Ray-Ban Audio ($349) offers the Meta AI ecosystem, and Google's Gemini-powered glasses are expected before year-end. Compare all smart glasses at our smart glasses hub.
