Our take on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 RW4012 Sunglasses

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 is a pair of smart sunglasses with a camera, open-ear speakers and a microphone built into the classic Wayfarer frame. You can take photos and short videos, make calls, listen to music and talk to Meta AI without pulling out your phone. The Gen 2 adds longer battery life, better low-light video and a charging case compared with the first generation. It suits people who want a familiar-looking pair of sunglasses with hands-free capture and audio, but the open speakers leak sound and the camera draws privacy questions.

What reviewers say

  • 3.8 / 51,179 ratings

Owners like the familiar Wayfarer look and the convenience of quick photos, calls and music without earbuds. Many complain about battery life, sound leaking from the speakers and the camera making people uncomfortable. Some report connection and app glitches.

What people mention
  • BatteryCriticisedOwners say the battery drains fast when shooting video or taking many calls, so it needs charging most days.
  • Sound leakageCriticisedPeople nearby can hear music and calls from the open speakers, which limits use in quiet places.
  • CameraMixedThe camera is handy for quick clips, but quality is modest and some owners feel awkward pointing it at people.
  • FitPraisedWearers find the Wayfarer frame comfortable and light enough for long days.
  • LookPraisedOwners like that the glasses pass as ordinary Ray-Bans rather than obvious tech.
  • ConnectivityCriticisedSome report Bluetooth dropouts and app setup problems with their phones.

Questions and answers

Is the Gen 2 worth it over the first Ray-Ban Meta?
The Gen 2 improves battery life, low-light video and comes with a charging case. If you already own the first version, the upgrade is modest; if you are new, the Gen 2 is the better buy.
Can I use them without a phone?
No. They need a Bluetooth connection to a phone running the Meta app for setup, media, calls and AI features. Basic sunglasses use works without it.
How long does the battery last?
Meta rates them for several hours of mixed use, less with heavy video or calls. The charging case adds extra charges between outlets.
Do the lenses work as normal sunglasses?
Yes. The Sapphire Transitions lenses darken in sunlight and clear indoors, and the frame takes prescription lenses through Ray-Ban.
Will people hear my music?
At moderate volume in quiet settings, yes. The open speakers direct sound toward your ears but leak, so lower the volume in libraries, offices and on transit.
What sizes and bridge options are there?
They come in Standard and Large frame sizes with Standard and High bridge options, so try both if the frame sits low on your nose.
