Meta Introduces Noise Control and Smart Music Features for AI Glasses

Meta has officially announced a new software update (v21) for its AI-powered smart glasses, introducing some of the most anticipated features just ahead of the holiday season. The latest update brings enhancements focused on clearer conversations, Spotify-powered music discovery, and overall usability improvements, making Meta’s smart glasses more practical for everyday use.

With this update, Meta continues to position its AI glasses as functional wearables rather than novelty gadgets, targeting real-world scenarios such as commuting, social gatherings, and noisy public spaces.

Conversation Focus Feature Improves Audio Clarity in Noisy Environments

What Is Conversation Focus?

One of the most notable additions in the v21 update is Conversation Focus, a feature designed to help users hear conversations more clearly in loud surroundings. The feature suppresses ambient noise while enhancing the speaker’s voice, ensuring a better calling and listening experience for both parties.

How Does Conversation Focus Work?

Conversation Focus relies on a combination of audio processing and hardware built into the glasses.

Key Capabilities

• It helps in amplifying the voice of the person while talking

• It will reduce background noise

• It uses open-ear speakers, which are built into the glasses

This makes the feature particularly useful in environments such as restaurants, trains, busy streets, or crowded events.

Adjustable Voice Amplification

Users can fine-tune the voice amplification level based on their preference. Adjustments can be made by:

• Swiping directly on the smart glasses

• Changing settings through the connected smartphone

This allows for a personalised listening experience without interrupting ongoing conversations.

Availability of Conversation Focus Feature

Limited Rollout for Early Access Users

At present, the rollout of Conversation Focus is limited and available only to early access users.

Supported Devices

• Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses

• Oakley Meta HSTN glasses

Supported Regions

• United States

• Canada

Meta is expected to expand availability to additional regions and users in future updates.

Meta AI + Spotify Brings Context-Aware Music Discovery

Music That Matches What You See

Meta is also rolling out a new Spotify integration with Meta AI, creating what the company describes as the first multimodal AI music experience for smart glasses.

Users can activate the feature using a simple voice command:
“Hey Meta, play a song to match this view.”

How Smart Music Discovery Works

The smart glasses use computer vision to understand the user’s surroundings and combine it with Spotify’s recommendation system to play music that fits the moment. This allows music selection to be influenced by what the user is seeing in real time, rather than manual browsing.

Spotify Feature Officially Available in India

India Included in Supported Regions

The Meta AI + Spotify feature will be available in the English language across multiple countries, including India.

Supported Countries Include:

• India

• UK

• US

• UAE

• France

• Germany

• Italy

• Australia

• Canada

• Brazil and more

This marks one of the first major AI glasses features officially supported for Indian users, highlighting Meta’s growing focus on the Indian market.

Early Access Program Unlocks Features First

Meta has been actively encouraging users to join its Early Access Program. Members of this program receive new features before they are released more widely.

What to Expect Next

• Early access users get updates before mass rollout

• More regions are expected to be added

• Additional devices may receive support in future updates

Meta’s phased rollout strategy allows it to test features at scale before expanding availability.

Voice Amplification and Smart Music Make AI Glasses More Practical

With the introduction of voice amplification and smart music discovery, Meta is strengthening the real-world usefulness of its AI glasses. These updates improve day-to-day scenarios such as commuting, social interactions, and outdoor activities.

The v21 update reinforces Meta’s vision of AI glasses as a hands-free, context-aware wearable, blending communication, entertainment, and AI assistance into a single device.
