Solos unveils AirGo A5 and AirGo V2 smart glasses with hands-free AI

Solos is unveiling two new smart glasses models with hands-free AI: AirGo A5 and AirGo V2.

With intuitive interaction, superior sound, advanced video capabilities, and camera-enabled AI, Solos said the two products set a new benchmark for wearable intelligence, making wearable AI more intuitive, accessible, and integrated into daily life. The Boston company unveiled them at the Smart Glasses Summit in Hong Kong.

AirGo A5 is an ultra-light, audio-first smartglasses product with hands-free AI, “Hey Solos” voice control, directional audio, and seamless on/off functionality.

Built for users who want the convenience of smart features in their daily glasses, A5 refines Solos’ audio-first experience into an all-day companion.

AirGo V2 is Solos’ most advanced visual smartglasses to date. It features a 16MP stabilized camera, real-time streaming, and the new SolosChat 3.0 for multi-modal AI interaction (high-res image, full HD video, text).

Both models utilize Solos’ SmartHinge modular system, allowing users to swap frame fronts and batteries, and support Solos’ growing SDK ecosystem across accessibility, healthcare, and education.

AirGo A5 will be available in Q3 2025 with pre-orders opening in August at $249, followed by the AirGo V2 in Q4 2025 starting at $299 – both available at solosglasses.com.

The launch also marks the beginning of a new phase for Solos’ open ecosystem, with select Software Development Kit (SDK) partners already working to build innovative applications on the platform, unlocking even greater customization and AI-powered use cases across health, lifestyle, and productivity.

“With AirGo A5 and V2, we’re not just introducing new features, we’re changing the way people interact with AI in everyday life,” said Kenneth Fan, cofounder of Solos, in a statement. “These new generations reflect our vision for smart living, where wearable tech works quietly in the background to support your day, not disrupt it.”

Solos AirGo A5: Smarter, more seamless everyday AI

In a world of increasingly complex tech, AirGo A5 stands out by doing more with less, bringing rich audio, intuitive AI, and effortless functionality into a familiar, lightweight form. Designed for users who want everyday glasses and intelligent features without the bulk or distraction of traditional wearables, the fifth-generation A5 refines Solos’ audio-first experience into something you can wear all day.

The A5 features automatic power-on/off for effortless activation and hands-free wake-up word functionality, letting users simply say “Hey Solos” to engage AI tools like SolosChat without reaching for a phone. Whether queuing up a warm-up routine, finding a dinner recipe, or replying to a message while on the go, A5 integrates real-time assistance into everyday routines.

Natural, fluid interactions are now even more seamless, allowing users to jump in with follow-up questions, just like talking to a friend. Upgraded directional audio minimizes sound leakage for a
more private listening experience, while enhanced bass delivers richer, deeper sound quality
across music, calls, and voice responses.

Compatible with all frame fronts in the existing AirGo 3 lineup, the AirGo A5 offers an easy
upgrade path for current users, blending advanced smart features into the style and comfort of
everyday eyewear

Solos AirGo V2: Next-level vision and AI in slimmest smartglasses Yet

The second generation of Solos’ Vision AI smartglasses, the AirGo V2, pushes wearable technology further with a powerful combination of camera, AI, and real-time connectivity features, all in a slim, feather-light design made for all-day comfort. Equipped with the world’s slimmest 16MP camera featuring advanced Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), users can capture high-resolution images and Full HD video with incredible clarity, even during movement.

It’s a go-to tool for travelers, content creators, and anyone wanting to document and share life in
the moment.

New to this model is live video streaming powered by ultra-low-power Wi-Fi, enabling real-time sharing without sacrificing battery life. The AirGo™ V2 also introduces SolosChat 3.0, a multi-modal AI platform that combines image, video, audio, and text for deeper, more dynamic interactions. Whether it’s identifying objects, translating signs, or getting quick answers from multiple AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, the experience is built for smart, seamless living.

The AirGo V2 retains all the intuitive user features introduced in the A5, including auto power-on/off, wake-up word activation, natural, interruptible conversation, and enhanced directional audio for private listening. It continues Solos’ signature modular system equipped with SmartHinge, allowing users to easily swap out frame fronts to match their style. A swappable battery also provides added flexibility for those looking to extend video recording time and power through longer days. Designed with adjustable nose pads and temple tips, AirGo V2 blends style, comfort, and advanced functionality in one unified
platform.

As part of its open platform approach for design and software, Solos is working with select SDK partners to explore new AI-driven applications across accessibility, consumer technology, and healthcare.
