Legato began selling Legato Frames on 1 October 2026, five weeks after the startup came out of stealth with $12 million and a promise of an autumn launch. The glasses are on sale on the company’s website and through selected eye-care providers in the United States, and Legato says they may be covered by vision insurance.
The launch sets the price and the range the August announcement left open. Three styles carry the same hearing hardware: Symphony and Harmony start at $999, and Aria at $1,099. According to TechCrunch, the frames weigh 34 grams with lenses, run 10 to 12 hours on a charge, take prescription lenses and stream audio and calls over Bluetooth.
The hearing function sits in the temple arms. An onboard model the company calls SpeechSense separates voices from background noise, and a dual-speaker system aims sound at the wearer while cancelling, by Legato’s figure, about 99 percent of what would escape a few inches from the ear, so the design stays open-ear. Legato compares its price with an average of more than $3,400 for traditional prescription hearing aids.
