Halliday’s second glasses SKU is a meeting product, not a camera. Non-prescription Batch 1 began shipping on 15 September 2026; later non-prescription orders are listed as three business days (Halliday). The frames are camera-free, 49 g, with a four-microphone array Halliday specifies to two metres and a waveguide display that runs Meeting Flow — live captions, thread tracking, a recap when you leave the room (Halliday design; WIRED, Halliday G2).
List price is $599. Starter includes about 120 Meeting Flow minutes a month; Basic is $9.90 a month, and launch orders include a year of Basic. There is no recording indicator. Halliday told WIRED wearers should disclose recording themselves. Twelve hours is regular use from a 210 mAh cell, not a continuous-capture rating.
Glasses are in this ranking when capturing speech is the job. That is the test Meta’s frames fail and Halliday G2 passes. Two metres is still a table, not the Plaud Note Pro’s five. $599 is still glasses money. The Halliday G2 page is the review.
