Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Wayfarer (Gen 1) glasses, especially the video quality and overall performance, which work far better than expected. The iconic design and ease of use are also appreciated. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the battery life, connectivity, weight, and the performance of Meta AI.

    Nice Upgrade!

    In the box is the smart glasses, a charging case, USB-C charging cord, a lens cleansing cloth and warranty/quick start guide. First Impression - Compared to my previous wayfarer smart glasses, the product box was way simpler, which made it less fancy. I do like the redesign of the charging case and how the glasses actually charge. No longer do they charge from the temple but they charge from the bridge of your nose which makes charger easier to seat. Previously, you had to pay attention to how the glasses fit in the charging case because if not seated properly, they would not charge. Comfort - The comfort is good, they are the normal traditional RayBan cut, so they are still comfortable. The arms are thinner than the original wayfarers, so that helps as well. The hinges are a thicker metal hinge, so they feel a lot stronger/sturdier. Functionality - The app has been updated/changed and is now called Meta and you can use this app for the old wayfarers and this new pair of smart glasses. You still have the on and off button on the inside of the left arm. The capture button is on the right arm on the top; Quick press for pictures, long press for video. Volume, up and down/track skip and reverse/start and stop, is a touch button on the outside of the right arm. (This function is available when you sign into Spotify in the app.) Google assistant is included and it reads you your messages from all different platforms, reads your calendar with the press of a button on the right side arm of the smart glasses. You can also talk to the glasses and tell google assistant what action you want to take. Another feature I noticed, if you listening to music and you can’t hear, you can cup you ear with your hand and the music will be louder. The audio capture is lot better and the video and photo is about the same; they were both already pretty good, so no need for much improvement there. The calling and receiving calls was already great and it is still great on these smart glasses. Right now, I am learning more and more about this pair of smart glasses and I am definitely loving the upgrades and updates. So far, no cons - I forgot to mention that the case has a charge light on the front, so if you have another pair of RayBans with the time color case, you should be able to tell which case goes with which pair of sunglasses. Also, there is a USB-C port on the bottom. Overall, so far, this upgrade is a five out of five and I would highly recommend to friends and family.

    Worthy Upgrade to the originals

    The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer smart glasses are an upgrade in just about every way to the original Stories glasses. These glasses feature an upgraded 12MP camera for better pictures and videos. The speakers and mics have been upgraded for better sound and sound capture. In fact, there are now 5 total mics, so you can capture better surround sound in your videos. In addition to these upgrades, the glasses can now livestream to instagram and facebook, which is a really cool new feature that I really enjoyed. You will get the best results if you are on wifi, but it is possible to stream with just a cell connection too. However, I definitely had mixed results this way. Sometimes the stream just wouldn't start, or it would start and just be really low quality. This is all dependent of course, on your signal quality. But either way, it is great to have the option. Recorded videos now look a lot better than the previous glasses. The old glasses I think had 5MP cameras. Compared to the 12MP camera of the new glasses, it's like night and day. In addition to hardware upgrades, the software has gotten a makeover as well. First of all, the voice recognition now sports AI, and seems a lot more useful now. On the old glasses I would really only use voice control to start or stop videos or take pictures. Now it is a lot more useful, and it's easy to make calls, send messages, even ask questions. The smartphone app itself also got a pretty nice update. The old app was a bit buggy for me, especially while syncing my captured photos and videos. With the new app, I have yet to have any problems whatsoever. The app connects and syncs your content seamlessly. I am absolutely loving taking videos and loading them right on my phone so easily. The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses feel like what was promised with the Stories. While I enjoyed the Stories for what they were, they always felt like a first-gen product that didn't quite live up to their potential. I found that I used them less and less until I wasn't using them at all. These updated specs however, have reinvigorated my interest in the concept of smart glasses and I am excited again to see what content I will capture with these. I would definitely recommend these to anyone interested.

    I love the look of the glasses and the feel on my face. I tried to use them in a facilitation to record my session so that I could watch it later. The video quality was great however you can only record for a short period of time.

      Hey IanG

      Thanks for the review. The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers certainly look the part, all the hi-tech of a Sci-fi movie gadget yet still so stylish.

      Thanks again, have a good day. RaybanStories

    Ray Ban and Meta killed it with this one. The video/picture quality is surprisingly good. It’s 12 megapixels, but the image quality makes them seem like a better sensor. Also the UI is amazing and seamless.

      Hi there Greg!

      Thanks for leaving us such an amazing review, we really appreciate it!

      If you lead an active lifestyle and want to catch some cool action shots your Wayfarers will certainly do a great job, especially since you can start recording with a simple voice command!

      We just wouldn't advise taking them scuba diving.

      With the ability to take pictures and videos with the fantastic 3K UHD camera hands free, the discreet speakers for listening to music and the ability to interact with Meta AI all while looking slick with that classic Ray-Ban look.

      We are sure your Wayfarers will become a part of your day to day life!

    Way Better than Expected

    First off...OMG, the sound for not having an in ear speaker is amazingly clear, detailed, has volume, and doesn't disturb your neighbors. I have literally been wearing these around just to listen to music, take calls, and stream youtube. I wear my sunglasses at night! Seriously though I was shocked at the sound quality, worth it just for that. Then I got around to using the photo and video function. Takes great wide pics and videos. Would like a zoom feature, like 2x, 4x tap in future models, but quality is on point. After you get through the initial giddiness over the smart functions you also have great ray ban sunglasses. They are a tiny bit bulky, but are solid, look great, have a superior case compared to regular sunglasses, and the vision is especially clear in regular sunglasses use. I don't think I can say enough that these are a must buy for anyone who is out in the sun, takes calls, listens to music, and has been looking for an easier way to snap a photo without getting the bulky phone out and fumbling with buttons, taps, etc. Do yourself a solid and...treat yo'self

    I bought glasses as a gift for my boyfriend! He is very satisfied, the shooting quality is just amazing, the glasses are very comfortable for every day! The video is immediately saved in a separate folder! I recommend it to everyone! Initially, I bought the regular size…. But I needed a large size of glasses, the store immediately changed them for me within 10 minutes!!! It was good job! Thank you so much!!!!
