Ray‑Ban has launched a week‑long discount spree on its Meta smart glasses, cutting 15 % off the Gen 2 Wayfarer and 25 % off the Gen 1 model. Deals run through May 26 on Amazon and Best Buy, with free delivery and same‑day options available in many U.S. locations. The price slash makes the tech‑enabled eyewear more accessible for tech‑savvy enthusiasts.

The discounted Gen 2 Wayfarer starts at $322.15, down from $379.00, while the Gen 1 model drops to $223.99 from $299.00. Both glasses feature hands‑free photo and video capture, music playback, phone call capability, and Meta AI voice interaction. Users can also livestream to Instagram or Facebook directly from the lenses for casual and professional creatives in any setting.

Compared to its predecessor, Gen 2 brings sharper image quality and a longer battery life, thanks to a more efficient processor and enlarged battery pack. The glasses also support wireless charging via a magnetic base and a USB‑C port for firmware updates. These upgrades signal Meta’s commitment to refining its mixed‑reality hardware for the future of augmented experience devices worldwide.

With discounts set to expire on May 26, buyers who want Meta’s Wayfarer at a lower price face a limited window. The price cuts make the glasses a viable option for consumers previously deterred by higher costs, potentially expanding Meta’s user base beyond early adopters for tech‑savvy shoppers and students frequently using social media.
