Customer Ratings & Reviews

Extremely happy with my Ray-Ban - Stories Wayfarer Smart Glasses 50mm - Matte Black/Dark Grey I love using them when I go on a run or just going out. The updates are still current and it just gets better. Sound quality is amazing.

Excellent for vlogging one on one or up-close and personal. Maybe they are not the shots you want to capture from a distance as you are unable to zoom in on your target. However, for the average joe, and or family member who just want to get that authentic in the moment short video or pick, they work just fine. Not so great, in low light settings.

They take a good quality picture I love my sunglasses

Having a camera alway on comes very handy, clips quality its great, battery last about 5 hrs but charges quickly, pairs very easily and quick

I really am enjoying them. They take good pictures and videos. I wished I could turn the volume up a little more

At first I thought this was something I was just gonna play with for a day or 2 and return but its now been over a month and i continue using them everyday to make quick stories for social media (IG: HouseOwl) Great For Riding A Bike And Also Roller Coasters ;) I Wear Them All Day And Need To Put Them In Their Case for about 30 mins mid day. battery is holding up like when they were new. 2/10 People Will Compliment The (RAY-BAN) 1/20 Will Ask If Thats A Camera. 10/10 People Want A Pair After Finding Out What They Are. I Use Them Combined With Galaxy S22 Ultra And I Leave All The Heavy Stuff At Home!!!

Took the Ray-bans Wayfarer to wear during vacation and they are very comfortable, easy to use and not to mention the sound quality is great. The picture quality is also good especially taking pictures of the gulf although I was afraid of losing them or getting them wet.

I’ve had the glasses for a couple of weeks. So far I’ve really liked them for the most part. The video and pictures are decent quality, and they are pretty stylish and subtle. However, the sound quality could really use some work. There’s a squeaky background noise that I can’t get to stop no matter what app I use for music.

Smart frames have gained popularity in recent years, the majority of which primarily act as Bluetooth headsets and afford the user the convenience of one less device to haul around. The Ray-Ban Stories Wayfarer sunglasses is an attempt (a rather successful one, I might add) to go a step further with the incorporation of a dual camera setup for video and stills. Ray-Bans have been synonymous with quality and style since the 1930s. My Shiny Brown Wayfarers with Brown Gradient lenses follow that tradition and then some more. Included in the box are: • Protective charging case • USB-C to USB-C cable • Cleaning cloth/carrying bag • Ray-Ban Stories Wayfarer • Quick reference guide • Safety and Warranty booklet Underneath the familiar build and form factor, these Ray-Bans arrive with some additional tech. In addition to the previously mentioned dual cameras (5MP) located at either endpiece, the right location includes an LED indicator (capture LED) which serves to notify the surrounding audience when either a picture or video are captured. Inside the left temple is a power/pairing switch. The right temple houses the Capture Button (single press for video, long press for picture) and the Hyper-Responsive Touchpad. This touchpad supports track advance, call management and volume control functions. Inside the right temple is another LED (notification LED) that provides operational status to the user. It is a clever setup as it is located too close to your eyes to be in focus (when the sunglasses are being worn) but you will be aware when it is on and notice the various indication colors too. Typical states: White - on an active call or capturing content Green – device ready to use Orange - low battery or error Red – low battery power/imminent shutdown The device offers 4GB of storage which are touted to store over 500 still pictures or over 30 thirty second videos; thirty seconds is the maximum length for each captured video. Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 802, 11ac both help for the snappy download (technically upload) of content once captured. The battery is also rated at up to 6 hours when used “moderately”. In my experience, this could probably be achieved when used primarily as a listening device but the image and assistant functions appear to drain the device quicker. The protective charging case is also well-built and capable of providing three charges for the frames when fully charged. Anyone who has used a device with a charging case will appreciate their benefit in quelling on-the-road panic attacks with regards to battery levels. It has a USB-C port for the included cable but the user is responsible for procuring a power block/adapter. The sunglasses magnetically attach via the right temple. There is an LED indicator in the front that indicates the battery level when the case is opened without the sunglasses docked inside: green means the case has over 80 percent of charge while orange means the charge is lower than 80 percent. Blinking red implies the case needs charging. With the sunglasses docked inside, the LED on the case displays the charging status of the sunglasses: green signifies they are fully charged while an orange pulse implies charging in progress. A red indication here also means the case is out of charge and thus the sunglasses will not be charging. It takes about 180 minutes to fully charge from empty. Setup is fairly simple. The Facebook View App must be initially downloaded from either the Apple App or Google Play stores. Location services must be enabled on your smartphone to work with the app which guides the entire process. You will need to sign into your Facebook account during the setup. The Facebook View App essentially manages the frames settings and also captured content. There are a few basic manipulation tools for both image and video. Battery levels for both frames and charge case can also be viewed within the app when the frames are docked in the case. Facebook Assistant offers a handsfree approach to capturing videos and images. It is rather fun (and can be addictive) to use. The key phrase for the assistant is “Hey Facebook” which “wakes” the device and have it await further instructions. There are options for a confirmation tone to notify the user the device acknowledged the command. In my experience, “picture” or “video” by themselves did not produce the intended results as the device requires a verb in addition. “Take a picture” or “capture a video” all worked remarkably well. In use, you would thus say, “Hey Facebook, take a picture”. During the setup process, various voice tones are available to pick from three distinct English accents: United States, United Kingdom and Australia. This voice provides feedback during use and announces the battery level of the frames when turned on. Additionally, there is also an option to store your voice transcripts of your interactions with Facebook Assistant ; thankfully, it is currently just that, an option and not a requirement. Messenger can also be linked to enable associated messaging and calling features. The audio quality is adequate but can/should not be compared to in-the-ear headsets. In my opinion, no open air speaker setup (that I am aware of) fairly stands a chance as bass levels typically lack the most. Conversations are very audible for either party and discrete. The dual lenses are capable of 2592 x 1944 still resolution while video can be captured at 1184 x 1184 @30fps in the minimum. The left camera lens provides stereo depth estimation which helps deliver some cool effects when combined with the image from the right lens. In use, low-lit content suffered the most. The frames are supposed to automatically adjust for optimal quality but this is always a challenge even for standalone cameras. As a secondary or primary feature (depending on the user), have I mentioned that these sunglasses also provide high protection against sun glare? Yes, good levels of UV protection come standard too. The lenses may also be swapped for prescriptions when ordering from RayBan and insurance benefits applied directly. In conclusion, I believe smart frames have a whole lot to offer. Just as smartphones have become ubiquitous and turned us all into news outlets, smart frames will eventually get there with better cameras and battery performance. Compared with another pair of smart glasses I own, these Ray-Ban Stories Wayfarers provide the additional camera and extended battery life features which I had been lacking. While they may not match my smartphone lenses, the sheer convenience of carrying one less device cannot be understated (think cycling, walking, jogging etc.) I would wish future iterations include some form of water resistance for the frames in the least and also include changeable/"hot swappable" lenses from the end user's perspective. This is a very commendable effort from the iconic brand and I would highly recommend.

Liking these glasses, once I figured out the controls, taking a pic or a 30 second video is as easy as touching the stem of the glasses. Also paired with my iPhone and can answer calls and listen to music. Battery is lasting about 4 hours as advertised.

The Ray-Ban Stories Wayfarer is the smart glasses version of the iconic Ray-Ban Wayfarer. They come in nice packaging with Ray-Ban and Facebook clearly presented. In the package you find the case (doubles as the charging station), a cleaning cloth, a USB-C charging cable, a reference guide and safety and warranty document. The reference guide clearly explains the features for the sunglasses. Ray-Ban is one of my favorite sunglasses. I love the blue color on this version. Polarized lenses are a must for me for any sunglasses. They are sturdy and well made. Ray-Ban never disappoints for quality. I LOVE the sunglasses! Now for the Stories part of the sunglasses. You must download the Facebook View app and follow the instructions to set up the sunglasses. This app is always running on your phone. I found it very easy to set up following the instructions provided in the app. The power switch is a slider on the left arm close to the glass. There is a small light on the inside right glass frame letting you know they are on. The battery is supposed to last 3 hours. I did not run out of battery using them for about 2 hours. You hear the battery remaining when you turn them on. You place them back in the charge case to charge them. There is 4GB of flash storage (500+ photos or 30-30 sec videos per their website). You can enable Facebook Assistant to use your voice for commands. I did not use this as I am not comfortable with devices listening to me all the time and recording my conversations. These are not waterproof. I would not get them wet. You can capture pictures or videos (5MP cameras); listen to music; and make/take phone calls. Here are my thoughts on the different smart glass features: - Pictures and video: the quality is what you would expect with a 5MP camera. One press on the button to start or stop a video. One long press for a picture with an audible click letting you know the picture was taken. I found I accidentally started a number of videos based on the location of the capture button. There are very limited options to modify your pictures within the Facebook View app. You can download the pictures and videos to modify using other apps. A small light goes on when you take a picture or video to letting your subjects know they are being filmed. I would rate the image quality as OK. - Audio: I played music from my phone. I have all FLAC files so the audio quality is really good. The audio comes through clear. Bass is lacking as you would expect. The sound is not very loud at the highest volume. It is Ok in a relatively quiet environment. Not so great in an environment with lots of background noise. The audio controls are on the right arm of the glasses. The buttons work great for controlling playback and adjusting volume. - Phone calls: The microphone is near the Ray ban logo on the right arm. I found that the people could hear me pretty well. They said the quality of the call was fine. In a relatively quiet environment, I can hear them fine. I had a more difficult time hearing them while driving on the freeway; or, in a noisy environment. In conclusion, I am torn on whether I would recommend these. You pay an approximate premium of about $150 for the smart features. It is pretty cool for sure but worth $150? Is it convenient to have these features available every time you have your sunglasses on? Yes. So I will rate the sunglasses 5 stars as they are one of my favorites (prescription available as well). The smart features I rate as a 3 as they work but are not exceptional. So the overall rating is 4. I would recommend these to anyone wishing to pay a $150 premium to get smart features on some Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Great feature, just wish it could record longer than 30 secs at a time

Ray-Ban - Stories Wayfarer Smart Glasses 50mm - Shiny Olive/Transitions G-15 Green Summary: Thoughtfully designed smart glasses. Pros: * Transitions. Indoor/outdoor lens transitions work well. Not too fast or slow. Similar to my prescription transitions. * Audio quality. The audio quality is good. It is better than basic brands, but not up to par with brands like Bose. They lack some bass. They will still let you enjoy audio while on a stroll or on a bus or plane provided the volume isn't up too high. You'll need to use an iOS device for this to work as expected, in our experience. * LED positioning. The status LEDs for various functionality are clever. The one on the inside to let you know what is going on, and the one on the outside lets those you may be observing that you're recording. * Quality. The build quality is great. In true form, Ray-Ban doesn't disappoint. These are nice-looking pairs of glasses. I'm going to try and get them fit for prescription lenses through participating optometrists. * Fit. The frames fit well. I wish they had a way to elevate frames from my face. I have to use pad inserts to accomplish this; otherwise, they can leave marks on my nose. They may not be as light as I think. * Case. The included charging/carrying case is clever. I don't like the curved design, but it serves its purpose well. It provides great protection and charges the glasses with ease. Just put them in the case and off they go. This is different from competing lenses that require you to plug a micro-USB cord into the frame of the glasses - not fun. * Image and video quality. Surprisingly, the image and video quality are exceptional. Video recordings look as if there is some optical image stabilization going on. They are quite smooth. Cons: * Does not work well with Android. We had issues pairing the RB Stories with our Android phone. Really annoying issues that we still don't quite understand. * Android App/functionality. The Android app, though identical in layout to iOS, just works -sometimes-. It is annoying that it doesn't always identify the glasses are in proximity or ON or connected (despite control panels showing them "connected"). We couldn't get any audio to play through the frames. * "Hey, Facebook" is confusing. She does respond to commands well enough, but the scope of the DA is limited to the glasses, and being paired with a phone doesn't seem to augment functionality. Commands are also delayed by a second or a few. "Take a picture" is not instantaneous. By the time the picture is taken, the subject or scene will likely have changed. The same goes for kicking off a video recording. Manual controls work faster and are more or less instantaneous. * Battery. I'm really not sure what to think of this. These are among the first glasses with cameras that work as well as they do, but the battery dies quite quickly. In fact, I'm observing about a 10% drop every 10-30 minutes. This is taking only a few pictures and a few video clips. * Video recording. The video recordings only capture about 30 seconds worth of video. Why not longer? You have to plan recordings well in advance to be able to capture whatever it is you're looking to capture. Particularly since recordings don't start immediately. * App (iOS/Android). The app is basic and it isn't organized very well. It works, when it works, but it just doesn't stand out and I'm never excited to use it. Limited settings also make this app less useful for transferring images and videos from the glasses to your phone. * Configuration. You can lower LED brightness, but you can't turn them off altogether, the same goes with "clicks" for photo and video taking. This is fine as a default, but we really should be given the option. * Facebook. This product was made in partnership with Facebook. I have concerns about this as they are notorious for activity tracking. Use: We used this device initially with an Android device. It was so annoying to set up and use. Once configured, it wasn't consistent and the app would crash or disconnect. Restarting the app sometimes helped. Just strange. We configured it for use with an iOS device after that terrible experience (iPhone 12 Max Pro). This is where the product shined. The app and glasses worked as expected. Paired right up. Frames were detected immediately. Sync happened flawlessly. AND AUDIO PLAYBACK WORKED. Note: We love these frames. We lament we can't use them without our Android device, but we were only testing out Android and so aren't that broken up by it. We love the frames so much that we're considering getting prescription lenses for the frame. If you want a svelte pair of audio glasses that can take short clips or snap pictures without your phone, this device is for you. We consider the camera a novelty feature and not something we'll use much as setup/execution time is too long. But a nice pair of sunglasses, with transitioning lenses, and some audio are definitely useful. I realize total anonymity is nearly impossible with connected devices. But I do my best to "choose" what risks and exposure I'd like. This product is developed in partnership with Facebook. The cost and their tracking practices make me weary despite the overall positive impression of the product. For this alone, I would not recommend it to friends that also carefully monitor their online presence.

Im super happy with my super cool rayban stories glasses!!

Love them! They are fun and stylish! Can get photos faster than grabbing a phone!

I’m loving these smart sunglasses. They have tons of smart features, while them still being fashionable enough and having good UV/Sun protection) they claim 100%). I got the version that transitions. While on the shade, the lenses are clear, however out on the sun they transition to a greenish tint. The frame isn’t the smallest, but they have their particular look. Won’t be for everyone, but I like them. They are not heavy at all. The carrying case is great and sturdy and serves as a charging station, which it does via some magnetic pins that contact the glasses frame. They also include a USB type C cable (C to C, so bare this in mind) and a nice cloth bag, that serves as a cleaning cloth. Setup was easy, you download the Facebook view app from the Apple store or Google play store to go through the setup process. Once you do you can use the glasses in several ways. You press on the button on the frame once to record a video, or your press and hold to take pictures. Please, bear in mind these are not like “spy” cameras, they do have a little light that indicates you are recording, due privacy reasons for other people. You can also use them to listen to music and calls (the speakers are good, but not as good as a good pair of earbuds of course). You tap once to play or pause music, double tap to skip forward or triple tap to skip back (there is like a touch sensitive area on the frame). You can also control volume and answer/hang up calls via these gestures. You can also control the glasses via voice control via Facebook assistant saying, “hey Facebook”. For me, it works 50/50 as I have a thick accent sometimes doesn’t recognize well what I say, but YMMV. And yeah, these use the Facebook platform, if you don’t like that, well, they are not for you. The quality of the pictures and video are good enough for quick easy takes, but if you are looking for amazing looking pictures/videos, nothing beats a good phone camera, just FYI. They can store a good number of photos or videos (comes with 4GB of storage) which is around 500 pics and 30ish videos. In all, I’m loving these and use then mainly while I’m biking, where I need both my hands, highly recommend them, I would just recommend you maybe go around shopping malls or Best buy and see if they have them in display to see if you like the frames (definitely not a look for everyone) and see if you like them. If you do, great smart glasses!!

I’ve tried a couple pairs of smart glasses at this point, and have generally been happy is not overly impressed by them as discreet earbud replacements when you’re out and about. Ideally I’d like to one day find a pair that’s good enough to just wear as my every day glasses, removing the need to carry earbuds with me at all. The Ray Ban “Stories” doesn’t quite meet my requirements in that area yet, but it does show that we’re getting tantalizingly close. At first glance, there really isn’t anything that’ll give away the fact that these aren’t just standard Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, which I appreciate. The cameras and external indicator LEDs sit at the same place that the fasteners for the arms would go, and with how symmetrical the arrangement is they’re easily overlooked when they aren’t turned on. There’s also a bit more bulk to the frame pretty much everywhere, which makes them a bit heavier to wear but does serve to camouflage the areas that had to be expanded to make room for batteries and other equipment. They’ve even managed to hide the charging port, which is located at the inside one of the hinges so that when the arms are extended it’s completely hidden. My pair also came with a set of green transition lenses, so they only really become sunglasses when you go outside during a sunny day. The tinting isn’t exceptionally dark, but it’s sufficient for everyday use. I found that they’re easily comfortable enough to wear all day, though those with wider than normal heads should be aware that the design of the tech-loaded arms does mean that the frame isn’t quite as flexible as most, and it can pinch a little just above the ears. As far as the actual tech goes, it’s a bit more mixed but still generally good. The basic interface and UX is surprisingly polished given that this is a first attempt from Ray Ban and Facebook. There’s a small rocker power switch hidden on the left side to prevent you from accidentally draining your battery when you don’t want to use the smart features, a notification light that sits just in the corner of your right eye and only draws attention to itself when absolutely necessary, and the entire right arm is set up with gesture controls to handle volume control, track selection, calls, and everything else you’d expect from a set of earbuds. For more complex tasks the mics worked just fine for Google Assistant and there’s an integrated Facebook Assistant as well, though at the moment it seems like it's only useful for telling the glasses to take pictures or video. And all of it is controlled through the Facebook View app which, I was pleased to discover, didn’t really give me any reasons to be concerned. There are robust privacy controls for both pictures and video as well as any audio captured by the assistant. And it doesn’t automatically try to publish everything to your Facebook profile (definitely useful, more on that in a bit). It does still require a Facebook account to work though, so if you’re trying to avoid that you should probably look somewhere else. Many will also likely be pleased to note that it’s not really built to be a spy camera. Taking a picture or video requires you to either verbally state your intention or hit the physical shutter button on the right arm, and both will trigger an LED and shutter sound that should be clear to anyone in your vicinity. The actual hardware tied to all of this is, sadly, a bit less impressive. The 5MP cameras installed in the glasses produce photos that look pretty dated at this point. The pictures captured don’t have a very high resolution, and low light performance is very poor. Given that there’s no flash anything you take in the evening is pretty much guaranteed to come out very grainy and/or blurred. Pictures of animals tend to have a lot of red-eye issues as well, which surprised me given the lack of a flash. The View app does include some basic photo editing functionality to try and touch-up these photos and while it’s decent, it’s not powerful enough to compensate for the fact that everything’s basically taken with a webcam. It’s better suited to adding text, filters, and captions ala snapchat before you share them. Also, the process of taking and transferring photo or video seems like a massive battery drain. The glasses can’t really last all day at the best of times, but I found that using the camera feature extensively easily shaved hours off their useful life. The sound system fared somewhat better. It’s hard to get decent sound quality out of thin open speakers like this and while I have certainly seen better results, they were from glasses that were a lot bulkier and more obvious than these. The sound isn’t particularly loud and there’s essentially no bass response to speak of, but they do just fine with assistant notifications, spoken content/calls, and some music. For whatever reason there seems to be a sweet spot at roughly 50% volume where it sounds the best, and straying too far from that in either direction results in the audio quality dropping quickly. Fortunately I don’t think that most will have reason to do so, as unlike some these speakers really can’t do much to isolate the sound being produced to your ears alone. So unless you happen to be the only one around, you won’t want to max out the volume. Battery life, again, is decent. They advertise that a charge will last six hours, and so long as you stick to very light use and lay off the shutter that seems realistic. The charge can be topped up by stowing them in the included hard case/charger, which can charge them back up to full in a little more than an hour. The only thing to be aware of here is that the hard case if VERY bulky. You can just about fit it into a front pants pocket, though not comfortably, and it’d take up a lot of space in luggage. It definitely does its job of keeping the glasses safe and running, but they clearly don’t travel light. Finally, I have to talk about the reason why I won’t be using these on a daily basis. While I’ve laid out a lot of minor issues here, I could absolutely live with all of them and would love to have prescription lenses made up to turn these into my every day glasses. But I can’t. The instructions for these glasses include a disclaimer that whatever lenses ship with your glasses are the ones you’re stuck with, because they cannot be replaced without voiding the warranty. And apparently, optical shops have been instructed not to work on them either. This strikes me as a major design flaw. While you can have prescription lenses installed at the factory, without a provision to allow them to be periodically updated with a fresh prescription it seems like a very bad idea to me. And even if you don’t need corrective lenses, they’re sunglasses. The things are eventually going to get scratched or broken, and I don’t think it’s at all reasonable that the entire device must be replaced in such a scenario. There isn’t any kind of screen or other smart function built into the lenses, so the only reason I can see for it is that they’re concerned that the frame can’t flex far enough to release the lenses without potentially breaking some of the internal wiring. And I have to imagine there are better solutions to be had here that would still let you swap out lenses. So, for all their successes as a fashion statement and a pair of discrete sunglasses, I don’t think these are going to end up being a regular part of my wardrobe unless someone figures out a clever way to hack new lenses into the thing that doesn’t cost a fortune. Hopefully the second generation of smart glasses from Ray Ban can improve on this and bring back the replaceable lenses that made so many of their classic frames capable of lasting for so long. And I’m genuinely excited to see what kind of things the DIY community will be able to do with it as a platform. But, for what I’m looking for, it's not where it needs to be yet.

I own many Bluetooth headsets and even a Bose Frame, so naturally I was interested in giving Ray-Ban Story Smart Glasses a try. Setup Setup was extremely easy. I just downloaded the Facebook View app, signed into my Facebook account, and followed the on-screen directions. Design I was impressed with many features of these smart glasses. For starters, the carrying case doubles as a battery and recharges the glasses while not in use, preventing a dead battery. In addition, being able to take a photo or video with a voice command is helpful. Lastly, Ray-Ban added a white light near the right camera to alert anyone around that you are recording. I also like the multiple controls used by touching or sliding the side of the arm to control music, etc. Battery life The manufacturer states that the glasses will last about 6 hours on a single charge, or 3 hours with continuous music. I was impressed with how well the battery held up, as I did not have an issue with the glasses running out of power before I placed them back in the case. I did not recharge the case for an entire week and used the glasses everyday, and my glasses are still charged at 100%. I think a good reason for this is that I remove the glasses while indoors and use my earbuds instead. Microphone/Sound I thought Ray-Ban did a great job using sound isolating technology, and the sound during phone calls is great. However, if you plan on using these to listen to music, you may be disappointed. The music lacked any bass and sounded tinny. I also noticed the glasses did not do a great job at directing the sound toward my ear, as people nearby could hear the music. Pros Decent photos/videos Easy to edit and load short clips to Facebook Call sound isolation Cons Tinny music sound quality Music not well isolated to user If you want to have a great pair of shades, a decent phone call on both ends, and the convenience of capturing a moment on video/photo with your voice or a quick button push, then these glasses are definitely for you. If you are planning on replacing a pair of earbuds to listen to music, however, these many not fit that need.

Loosing connection all the time! Battery don’t last very long and quality of video is very poor.
