Solos AirGo A5 Just Ditched the Camera for Something Better - Yanko Design

"In a world of increasingly complex tech, the AirGo A5 stands out by doing more with less, bringing rich audio, intuitive AI, and effortless functionality into a familiar, lightweight form‪‪‬. At $249, the fifth-generation A5 frames more closely align with the minimalist look of traditional eyewear instead of cramming in features you might never use. If you've felt a little creeped out by the idea of cameras constantly recording everything (or just don't want to deal with the bulk), these might actually make sense."

"Designed for users who want everyday glasses and intelligent features without the bulk or distraction of traditional wearables, A5 refines Solos' audio-first experience into something you can wear all day‪‪‬. That means you're getting upgraded directional speakers that minimize sound leakage for a more private listening experience, while enhanced bass delivers richer, deeper sound quality across music, calls, and voice responses. No more worrying about blasting your podcast to everyone sitting next to you on the train."

"What really sets these apart is how effortless the interaction feels. The A5 features automatic power-on/off for effortless activation and hands-free wake-up word functionality, letting you simply say "Hey Solos" to engage AI tools like SolosChat without reaching for a phone‪‪‬. Whether you're queuing up a warm-up routine before a workout, finding a dinner recipe while your hands are covered in flour, or replying to a message while walking the dog, the A5 integrates real-time assistance into everyday routines without breaking your flow."

The Solos AirGo A5 are fifth-generation smart glasses focused on audio and AI assistance while omitting a camera. They cost $249 and adopt a minimalist, traditional eyewear appearance with lightweight frames. Upgraded directional speakers reduce sound leakage and enhanced bass improves music, calls, and voice responses. The glasses support automatic power-on/off and hands-free wake word activation using "Hey Solos" to access SolosChat and other AI tools. Real-time assistance helps with routines, recipes, workouts, and messages without reaching for a phone. Omission of a camera reduces bulk and privacy concerns while preserving everyday wearability.
