A New Vision for Wearable AI
The Solos AirGo V2 represents a significant step forward in making AI an intuitive, on-the-go companion. The core philosophy is to move interactions away from a handheld screen and integrate them seamlessly into the user's field of vision. This is powered by the SolosChat 3.0 platform, which connects to a suite of leading AI models including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. By simply looking at an object, document, or sign, users can ask for instant translations, identifications, or explanations, receiving audio feedback through the glasses' directional speakers. This hands-free, conversational interaction model is designed to feel more like a quiet assistant than a piece of cumbersome tech.
Hardware Built for Real-World Use
At the heart of the AirGo V2's capabilities is its upgraded 16MP camera, which features electronic image stabilization (EIS) to capture clear photos and Full HD video even while the user is moving. This camera serves as the "eyes" for the AI, feeding visual data for real-time analysis. Solos has addressed a common pain point in smart wearables—battery life—through a dual-pronged approach. The glasses utilize a low-power Wi-Fi architecture optimized for live video streaming, and they feature a unique modular design. The "SmartHinge" allows users to swap front frames for style or discretion, while the battery-housing temples are also removable and swappable, enabling users to extend usage by carrying a spare pair.
Targeting Practical Applications and Accessibility
Solos is marketing the AirGo V2 beyond the tech enthusiast, targeting specific practical and professional use cases. A key partnership with Envision will bring features to assist blind and low-vision users by having the AI describe scenes and identify objects audibly. For enterprise environments, a collaboration with Deutsche Telekom explores using the glasses for secure, hands-free task automation in fields like logistics, maintenance, and fieldwork. This focus on utility over gimmickry is a clear attempt to carve out a defined niche in the growing smart glasses market.
Pricing, Availability, and the Road Ahead
The Solos AirGo V2 is available for purchase starting at USD 299, a price that places it firmly in contention with other consumer-focused smart glasses. The company also previewed a portable charging case with a 1,100mAh battery, designed to charge a spare set of battery temples. This case, however, is not launching alongside the glasses and is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2026, with its final price to be announced closer to that date. The immediate availability of the V2 at CES, following its initial reveal in June 2025, signals Solos's confidence in a product they hope will win users over by solving tangible, everyday problems.
