Zeblaze’s new smart glasses aim to compete with products from Meta and Ray-Ban. The gadget can capture photos and videos and is available for a comparatively wallet-friendly price.
Zeblaze offers various wearables at usually affordable prices. This also applies to the newly introduced AI Shooting Glasses, which can now be imported via Aliexpress for prices starting around $78. This price does not include potential import fees.
The brand's latest gadget could be an alternative to similar glasses from Meta and Ray-Ban, as the Zeblaze also supports recording photos and videos. Specifically, it features a 5-megapixel camera and can record 1080p videos, according to the manufacturer. That said, the recording time is limited, and these smart glasses cannot be used for live streams. A flash for low-light conditions is built-in.
In terms of storage, the AI Shooting Glasses have 32GB of capacity. They also support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and several AI-powered features. A microphone and speakers are integrated as well and can be used to interact with AI assistants via voice commands.
Moreover, the wearable can be used as a headset, as the touch-sensitive surface can be used to answer or decline phone calls or control music playback. The Zeblaze AI Shooting Glasses are IPX4-certified and are equipped with a 230mAh battery, which offers a standby time of 14 hours. A hands-on video of these glasses has already been published on YouTube and shows that they are far from perfect.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
