Solos

What Solos does

Solos Technology Limited, incorporated in Hong Kong and operating commercially as Solos Smartglasses, is a private consumer-hardware company that designs and sells AI-enabled smart eyewear under the AirGo™ product family. The company's core technical proposition rests on a proprietary modular SmartHinge™ architecture that allows users to swap audio-only and vision/camera-equipped temples on a common frame front, layered with the Whisper® directional audio subsystem, wake-word activation ("Hey Solos"), and an onboard 16MP camera with 2K FHD video capture on the flagship AirGo V2 model. Solos integrates multiple third-party generative AI models — ChatGPT-4o from OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Claude AI from Anthropic — into features branded as SolosChat™ (conversational AI) and SolosTranslate™ (real-time translation across 25+ languages), and additionally partners with Envision to deliver object-recognition and OCR accessibility for visually impaired users.

The portfolio spans AirGo V2 ($299), AirGo A5 ($199–$249), AirGo V, and AirGo 3, distributed across multiple sub-collections (Prime, Hydro, Krypton, Argon, Xeon, Helium) and complemented by an in-house prescription lens customization service ($39.9–$59.9), accessories such as temple kits and magnetic charging cables, and a ZEISS lens partnership on the Argon X ZEISS model. The go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer through solosglasses.com with global shipping to 100+ countries, augmented by an affiliate/creator program, an SDK Developer Program for third-party app development, and a 2025 strategic distribution partnership with Deutsche Telekom for European market expansion. Customer segments include tech-forward wearable-AI consumers, visually impaired users, multilingual professionals and travelers, and athletes, with no enterprise contracts or disclosed B2B revenue concentration.
