Our take on the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Headliner

The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Headliner is a smart glasses line in the classic Ray-Ban shape, with a built-in camera, open-ear speakers and a microphone for calls, music and Meta AI. The second generation improves on the first with longer battery life and a higher-resolution camera, and keeps the slim, light frame that made the originals comfortable for all-day wear. It suits people who want a camera and voice assistant on their face without a bulky headset, and it competes with camera glasses from other brands that generally offer fewer style options and a smaller app ecosystem. Owners like the hands-free capture and the natural look; the common complaints are battery life on heavy days and the limits of what the AI can do without a phone.

Questions and answers

How is the Gen 2 different from the first Ray-Ban Meta?
The second generation has a higher-quality camera and longer battery life than the original. The frame shape and core features like open-ear audio and Meta AI carry over.
Do I need a phone to use them?
Yes for setup and most features. The glasses pair with the Meta View app for capturing, syncing and AI features, though music and calls work over Bluetooth.
Can I wear them as normal sunglasses?
Yes. The Headliner is a standard Ray-Ban shape with tinted lenses, so it works as everyday sunglasses with smart features built in.
