The Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 is Meta’s second-generation camera and audio eyewear in the Wayfarer shape. This listing is the Shiny Black frame with Clear to Graphite Green Transitions lenses, model RW4012. Every figure below is taken from Ray-Ban’s own published specification page for the Meta AI glasses and from Meta’s official announcement of the second generation.

The Camera on the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 camera is 12 MP and ultra-wide, and stills come out at 3024 x 4032 pixels. Video is where the second generation earns its name: the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 records 3K Ultra HD at 30 fps, 1080p at 30 or 60 fps, and 720p at 120 fps for slow motion. Meta describes the capture as ultrawide HDR with more than twice as many pixels as the previous generation.
Hyperlapse, slow motion and autocapture are listed as capture modes. Because the lens sits on the frame at eye level, you record what you are actually looking at rather than what a phone held at arm’s length sees. That is the whole point of the format, and it is also why the recording light matters: people around you can tell when the camera is running.
Meta AI, Translation and the Apps It Talks To
Meta AI is built into the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 and answers by voice. Ray-Ban lists an AI chatbot, multimodal AI, Live AI, text translation and live translation among the features of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2. Meta states that live translation covers six languages in total, with German and Portuguese added to the list, and that it works in airplane mode, so a translated conversation does not depend on having a data connection at the time.
Conversation Focus is a feature Meta announced for this generation: it uses the open-ear speakers to amplify the voice of the person you are talking to. The glasses also work with Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and Spotify, which is how music, calls and sharing reach the frames without you taking a phone out of your pocket.
Sound, Calls and the Microphone Array
Audio on the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 comes from two custom open-ear speakers. Open-ear means the sound reaches you without sealing your ear canal, so you still hear traffic, an announcement or someone speaking to you. The trade-off is honest and worth knowing: at high volume, people standing close to you will hear some of what you are playing.
Ray-Ban lists a custom 5-microphone array on the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2, with up to 5 hours of continuous audio playback and 5.5 hours of continuous phone calls. Those are continuous-use figures for a single activity rather than a description of a full mixed day, so treat them as ceilings for one task at a time.
Clear to Graphite Green Transitions Lenses
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 ships here with genuine Transitions lenses. They sit clear indoors and darken to graphite green in sunlight, then clear again when you come back inside, which is what lets one pair cover a day that moves between the two. Ray-Ban lists Sun, Transitions and Clear as the three lens types offered across the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 range, and this listing is the Transitions version in the green tint rather than a fixed sun lens.
The frame is Shiny Black injected Wayfarer under model code RW4012, published by Ray-Ban in size 50-22: a 50 mm lens width and a 22 mm bridge. One practical limitation: Transitions lenses react to ultraviolet light, and a car windscreen blocks most UV, so they will not darken as fully while you are driving as they do outdoors. That is how the technology works, not a defect.
Battery, Charging Case and Storage
Meta states that a fully charged Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 lasts up to eight hours with typical use, and that the glasses charge to 50 per cent in about 20 minutes. Typical use is Meta’s own wording, and it matters: heavy video recording and long music playback will land well under eight hours, while a day of occasional photos will stretch further.
The charging case is included, and Meta rates it at an additional 48 hours of charging on the go. Storage on the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 is 32 GB, which Ray-Ban translates into more than 1000 photos taken as three-frame bursts, or more than 100 videos of 30 seconds each. Bluetooth is 5.3. The glasses are rated IPX4, which covers splashes, rain and sweat, and does not cover swimming, showering or submersion of any kind.
Who This Is Not For
IPX4 is a splash rating and not a swim rating, so the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 does not belong at the pool or in the shower. There is also no display in these lenses. They capture, play audio and answer questions, but they show you nothing, so if you are picturing notifications floating in front of your eye, this is the wrong product entirely.
This listing is the standard Transitions version rather than a prescription build, so it is not the answer if you need your own correction in the lenses. They are not discreet in company either: a light tells people when the camera is recording, and it should. And if what you want is a lens that goes fully dark behind a windscreen, Transitions lenses will disappoint you for the UV reason above.

FAQ
Does the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 really record 3K video?
Yes. 3K Ultra HD at 30 fps is the top video mode, with 1080p at 30 or 60 fps and 720p at 120 fps for slow motion, from a 12 MP ultra-wide camera.
How long does the battery last?
8 hours of typical use on a full charge, according to Meta, and the included charging case adds up to 48 hours more. Charging to 50 per cent takes about 20 minutes.
Can I swim or shower wearing them?
No. The rating is IPX4, which covers splashes, rain and sweat. It does not cover swimming, showering or submersion, so take them off before you get in the water.
Do the Transitions lenses darken while driving?
No, not fully. Transitions lenses react to ultraviolet light and a car windscreen blocks most UV, so they stay lighter behind glass than they go outdoors.
How many photos and videos fit on them?
1000 or more photos taken as three-frame bursts, or more than 100 videos of 30 seconds, using the 32 GB of storage Ray-Ban lists for the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2.
How many microphones and speakers are there?
5 microphones in a custom array, plus two custom open-ear speakers. Ray-Ban lists up to 5 hours of continuous audio and 5.5 hours of continuous calls.
Is there a screen in the lenses?
No. The Ray-Ban Wayfarer Gen 2 has a camera, speakers, microphones and Meta AI, but there is no display or heads-up screen in the lenses.
