I tried the Even Realities G2, the most subtle pair of smart glasses you can buy in 2026

It was a refreshing experience to demo the Even Realities G2 smart glasses at CES 2026, which was filled with Meta Ray-Ban knockoffs. As someone who’s been using last-gen G1 glasses as my daily specs, I was stoked to try the G2 glasses. And they didn’t disappoint. Even Realities doubled down on its best features and polished the rough edges. They’re the closest a pair of smart glasses has come to traditional specs, thanks to the minimalist feature set that felt just right.

Like their predecessor...
