Solos AirGo V2 — specification and verdict
AirGo V2 is a generation rather than a single product: it is sold as the Prime 1 and Prime 2 frames, both at the same price, both with a 16-megapixel camera that records 2K video. Solos files it under “Vision”, which in its vocabulary means a camera rather than a display — there is no screen of any kind, and the eighteen-row specification table has no display, resolution or brightness row at all. It is the only Solos model that records video, it carries an IP54 splash rating, and Solos quotes sixteen hours of photo and assistant use. What it does not publish is the weight: that row on Solos’ own table is an empty dash, while the cheaper audio-only AirGo A5 next to it says thirty-six grams.
Screenless AI glasses are a narrower proposition than they look: with no display, everything the wearer receives is audio, which suits hands-free capture and voice queries and rules out anything that needs to be shown. Solos names two verticals itself — low-vision accessibility through its Envision partnership, and enterprise workflows with Deutsche Telekom — but publishes no fleet management, no provisioning and no volume licensing to go with them. The SDK is real but paywalled at 1,999 dollars, and its licence forbids publishing test results without written consent, which is worth knowing before anyone plans a comparative pilot.
A camera and an assistant on your face for 299 dollars, with an IP54 rating and a sixteen-hour figure that beats most of this class. Two things to weigh. Solos will not publish the weight — the row exists on its own table and is left as a dash, while the cheaper A5 beside it says thirty-six grams — and you cannot attach your own ChatGPT account, so the running cost and the usage caps are whatever Solos decides they are. Also note that “AirGo V2” buys you either a Prime 1 or a Prime 2 frame; they differ in shape and size, not in electronics.

Who this device is for
For people who want capture and a voice assistant without a screen on their face, and for two verticals Solos names itself: low-vision accessibility through its Envision partnership, and business workflows with Deutsche Telekom. The 16-megapixel camera that records 2K video is what separates it from the rest of the Solos range, and everything the wearer gets back is audio, because there is no display of any kind.
How it differs from its predecessor
Within Solos’ own line it is the only model that records video: the AirGo V takes photos but cannot film, and the AirGo A5 and AirGo 3 have no camera at all. Against the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, the obvious comparison, it is a smaller ecosystem with an IP54 rating and a longer quoted runtime, but Solos publishes no weight where Meta does. Against Brilliant Labs Halo it is the closed, finished-product answer to the same question — no SDK you can afford, but nothing to build either.
What is missing, and what the manufacturer does not publish
The weight is the conspicuous one: the row exists on Solos’ own specification table and is left as a dash, while the cheaper audio-only A5 beside it publishes about thirty-six grams. No battery capacity is given in any unit, only runtimes. No chipset, RAM, storage or operating system is named, so with a 16-megapixel camera and 2K video there is no way to tell how much footage the glasses hold. Only IP54 is published — no CE or FCC marking. The SDK costs 1,999 dollars and its licence forbids publishing test results without written consent. And a personal ChatGPT account cannot be attached, so the running cost and the usage limits are undocumented.
Solos AirGo V2 — frequently asked questions
- Does “Vision” mean it has a display?
- No, and this is the single most common misreading of the product. In Solos’ vocabulary “Vision” means the glasses have a camera; “Audio” means they do not. AirGo V2 has no screen at all — the eighteen-row specification table contains no display, resolution or brightness row — and everything it tells the wearer comes back as sound.
- What exactly am I buying when I buy an “AirGo V2”?
- Either a Prime 1 or a Prime 2 frame, both at the same price. AirGo V2 is the generation name, not a single product: Prime 1 is rectangular in sizes L and XL, Prime 2 is round in S and M, and the electronics are the same. Note also Solos’ own warning that V2 frame parts do not interchange with earlier AirGo generations, which matters because swappable fronts are the range’s selling point.
