Our take on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer 4012 Sunglasses

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer is a pair of sunglasses with a camera, open-ear speakers and microphones built into the frame. You can shoot 12MP photos and up to 3K video hands-free, take calls, and ask Meta AI about what you are looking at. At 48 grams it wears close to a normal Wayfarer, and the open-ear design keeps you aware of traffic and people around you. Rivals like the Bose Frames concentrate on audio only; these add a camera and AI, at the cost of battery life and a charging case you have to carry.

What reviewers say

Owners like the familiar Wayfarer look and the convenience of shooting and taking calls without a phone. Most criticism centers on battery life and on the camera drawing stares.

What people mention

  • ComfortPraisedAt 48 grams the frame is reported to wear like a normal pair of Wayfarers.
  • CameraMixedThe 12MP ultra-wide camera is handy for point-of-view clips, but quality is described as fine for social posts rather than serious photography.
  • SoundMixedOpen-ear speakers are clear for podcasts and calls, though bass is thin and sound leaks at high volume.
  • PrivacyCriticisedWearers report people noticing the camera and asking whether they are being recorded.
  • Charging caseCriticisedThe included case recharges the glasses but is described as bulky to carry around.

About the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer 4012 Sunglasses

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer smart glasses pair the square Wayfarer frame with hands-free AI features. A 12 MP ultra-wide camera sits in the frame's endpiece, and small circular buttons are on the temples. The glasses weigh 48 grams.

Say "Hey Meta" to take photos, record video, make calls, send messages or ask Meta AI questions. A five-microphone array picks up voice commands and calls. Open-ear speakers play music, podcasts and calls without blocking outside sound. The camera records video up to 3K resolution. An LED on the front shows when you're recording, and you can live stream to Instagram and Facebook.

The frames are full-rim acetate and are prescription-ready. They accept single vision, progressive, blue-light blocking or polarized prescription lenses. They have IPX4 water resistance. The 32 GB of onboard storage holds over 500 photos or 100 thirty-second videos, and content transfers to your phone through the Meta View app.

Questions and answers

Can I use these with prescription lenses?
Yes. The frames are prescription-ready, so a optician can fit your prescription lenses. The camera and speakers sit in the frame and temples, not the lenses.
How long does the battery last?
About 8 hours of mixed use. Heavy photo, video or live-streaming sessions drain it faster, and the charging case tops it up between uses.
Do I need a phone to use them?
Yes. You pair them with the Meta View app on iOS 14.4 or Android 10 and up. The glasses store photos and videos onboard, then transfer them to the phone.
How much video can they hold?
32GB of onboard storage holds over 500 photos or more than 100 thirty-second videos before you need to transfer files to your phone.
How do they compare with Bose Frames?
Bose Frames focus on audio and have no camera. The Meta Wayfarer adds a 12MP camera, Meta AI and live streaming, but gives up some battery life and audio depth.
Can I take calls and listen to music?
Yes. The open-ear speakers handle calls, music and podcasts, and the five-mic array picks up your voice. You still hear what is going on around you.
