Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Matte

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Matte refers to the Matte Black frame variant of the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in the classic Wayfarer style. This is a sleek, non-reflective matte finish that gives a modern, understated look while integrating advanced tech: a built-in ultra-wide camera, open-ear speakers, microphones, and Meta AI for hands-free photo/video capture, music, calls, live-streaming, and voice-activated assistance. It’s the most popular frame color in the lineup, blending seamlessly with everyday outfits.

This is the Gen 2 version (released late 2025), featuring major upgrades over Gen 1: doubled battery life (up to 8 hours use + 48 hours with case), sharper 3K video recording, improved audio clarity, and enhanced Meta AI (real-time translations, visual search, reminders, etc.). The matte black Wayfarer is available in standard or large sizes, with various lens options (e.g., polarized graphite gradient, clear, Transitions auto-tinting, G-15 green, or prescription).
