Solos AirGo A6: camera-less smart glasses weigh 19 grams

Solos announced the AirGo A6, a slimmer, camera-less version of its smart glasses that weighs around 19 grams and relies on hands-free voice interactions with an AI assistant. The company trimmed the frame and electronics to prioritize a lighter, sleeker form while retaining voice-driven features such as real-time translations and calendar reminders.

What is the AirGo A6?

The AirGo A6 is a camera-less redesign of Solos' AirGo line that weighs around 19 grams and shifts its interaction model to voice, keeping hands-free AI features while slimming the temples that house speakers and batteries. The glasses support full prescription lens compatibility and come in multiple styles, including transparent color options that reveal internal electronics.

Solos positioned the A6 around comfort and minimalist hardware. With speakers positioned behind the ears, the glasses can deliver audio for music and calls while letting wearers still hear their surroundings. The company also highlights voice commands as the route to its assistant, rather than on-device cameras or visual sensors.

How does the AirGo A6 differ from the AirGo A5 and other smart glasses?

The AirGo A6 weighs around 19 grams, compared with last year’s AirGo A5, which weighed 36 to 40 grams depending on the frame style, and recent Meta Glasses that weigh around 54 to nearly 60 grams depending on the style; part of Solos’ weight savings comes from thinner temple arms that house speakers, batteries and other electronics. Those numbers frame the A6 as substantially lighter than both the company’s prior model and a recent major competitor.

Feature-wise, the A6 keeps hands-free AI-powered functions: an assistant that answers questions via voice commands, real-time translations and calendar reminders. It also supports music and calls through its behind-the-ear speakers. The A6 will offer full prescription lens compatibility and multiple frame styles, several of them transparent to show the electronics.

Solos also signaled privacy options elsewhere in its lineup. Alongside the new A6, the company announced privacy-focused accessories for its AirGo V2 smart glasses that debuted last year, including $39 transparent non-powered replacement temples and a $49 clip-on privacy shield bundled with clip-on sunglasses. A full privacy accessory bundle is offered for $79.

Why does it matter?

A roughly 19-gram smart glass underlines a different tradeoff: Solos is choosing lighter, less intrusive hardware and voice-first interaction over camera-enabled experiences. That can broaden appeal to users who prioritize comfort and situational awareness and who distrust cameras on wearable devices. At the same time, dropping cameras narrows the kinds of context-aware features the glasses can offer compared with camera-equipped rivals.

The accessory push for the AirGo V2 shows Solos is also addressing privacy concerns pragmatically, offering physical options such as non-powered temples and a clip-on shield rather than relying solely on software controls. Those price points — $39, $49 and $79 — make privacy modifications an explicit, purchasable choice for owners.

What to watch

Price and availability for the AirGo A6 have not been finalized; those details will determine how aggressively the A6 can compete on comfort versus more feature-rich, camera-equipped glasses. Also watch whether Solos expands its privacy accessories beyond the V2 to the A6 and how buyers respond to a camera-less, voice-first smart-glass approach.
