Synsam Group launched its first generation of Smart Glasses in the summer of 2025. The category includes cycling, sunglasses and sports glasses with connectivity that simplify everyday life. Synsam sees growing global consumer demand for products that combine style, functionality and digital innovation. Oakley Meta HSTN®? and Oakley Meta Vanguard®? are designed with the user's active everyday life in mind: Built-in speakers and microphones enable calls and music without covering the ears - perfect for running, cycling or other outdoor activities where surrounding sounds are important for safety. Hands-free features via voice control (Meta AI) make it easy to control music, take calls, capture photos and videos or receive, for example, weather or workout updates - all without having to take out the phone.

Synsam Group Launches Nuance™ - Eyeglasses with Hearing Enhancement Synsam Group is developing its hearing business and can now offer customers Nuance, eyeglasses with built-in hearing amplification. With Nuance, people with mild to moderate hearing loss have the opportunity to hear better through their glasses. It is estimated that 2.3 to 2.5 million people in the Nordic region have a mild to moderate hearing loss. Some of these are in a grey area, where hearing is impaired, but not significant enough to warrant the use of a hearing aid. For them, Nuance can be the solution. Synsam wants to make it easier for people to live with good vision and hearing in their everyday lives. With the help of small speakers and a directional microphone, the glasses improve speech perception in noisy environments such as restaurants and meetings. The hearing amplification is easily controlled via a mobile application, where the user can adjust volume and amplification. The sound is delivered openly, without any technology in the ear. Nuance is developed for people with mild to moderate hearing Loss and does not replace a hearing aid. Studies show that people wait on average nine years before addressing their hearing problems. Research also shows a link between hearing loss and an increased risk of developing dementia. Considering this, and the fact that a traditional hearing aid can be stigmatized, the Nuance technology innovation is important for public health, and Synsam looks forward to helping more people with both vision and hearing, says Johanna Soderhall, licensed audiologist at Synsam Group.
