Meta Adds Hearing Enhancement to Smart Glasses and Unveils AI Tamagotchi Muse Charm, TechRadar Reports

TechRadar reported that Meta is bringing hearing enhancement to its smart glasses. The outlet framed the move with the line "Glasses is the ideal form factor," presenting eyewear as the preferred shape for the capability rather than earbuds or other wearables. The report, published on Sept. 23, 2026, did not set out which hearing functions would be added, which markets would receive them first, or when the feature would reach users.

In a separate report published on Sept. 24, 2026, TechRadar said Meta announced an AI Tamagotchi and named it Muse Charm. The headline described the product as an AI Tamagotchi, placing it in the lineage of the pocket virtual pets that became popular in the late 1990s, but the report as published carried no pricing, release date or specification details.

A third TechRadar report, also published on Sept. 23, 2026, came from a reviewer who tried Meta's new Ray-Ban Gen 3. The report described the glasses as cooler, leaner and smarter than what came before, while stating that privacy questions may linger around the product. The privacy point was raised in the headline itself and was not elaborated on with named sources in the text.

The three reports appeared within roughly an hour of one another, between 23:31 UTC on Sept. 23 and 00:39 UTC on Sept. 24, 2026. All three were carried by TechRadar, which is the sole source for the announcements described here. No Meta executive is quoted by name in the reports as published, and the "ideal form factor" line appears in TechRadar's headline without a named speaker attached in the text. Meta has not publicly confirmed pricing, availability or regional rollout plans for any of the three items in the material reviewed.

Taken together, the reports point to Meta pushing further into wearable and AI-connected consumer hardware rather than confining itself to headsets and phones, though the company has not publicly detailed how the hearing feature, Muse Charm or the Ray-Ban Gen 3 will be sold or supported.
