Wouldn't it be great if you had two brains? That's what using the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses feels like. They enable you to glide effortlessly through the world, asking questions about what you see and getting instant answers from Meta AI. And that's not all. They can play music, make and receive calls, scan QR codes and even send WhatsApps – all without you having to take out your phone.

We particularly like the Wayfarer model, which takes the iconic Ray-Ban sunglasses – the same stylish sunglasses worn by stars of Hollywood and hip-hop – and enhances them with the power of Meta AI. They're available with clear, tinted, polarised and Transition lenses.

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer glasses are really smart specs – and right now they're also a really smart buy, because John Lewis is offering a massive 25% discount on every pair.

Never miss a moment

One of our very favourite features of Meta AI glasses is the built-in camera, which is always ready to capture and share those special moments with friends and family. The ultra-wide 12MP camera takes high quality photographs and can share them instantly to Facebook and Instagram, and you can even livestream – hands-free.

There's more. When you’re making a video call you can toggle between your phone camera and your Meta AI glasses' camera, enabling you to share what you can see with the person or people you're talking to. And your calls sound as good as they look thanks to the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers' five high-quality microphones.

Get stunning soundtracks and crystal-clear calls

The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer glasses and sunglasses contain twin discrete speakers with clever directional audio technology that ensures your calls and conversations are for your ears only – and those speakers deliver surprisingly deep bass and big volume when you're listening to music. Everything is crystal clear, even in windy or noisy environments, without completely isolating you from the world around you.

Translate conversations in real time

Some of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer's features feel like they've been sent from the future – such as Live Translation, which can translate conversations in real time between French, Italian, Spanish and English. It's perfect for exploring countries in a much deeper way and it feels very much like magic.

The smarter way to go through your day

Having Meta AI on call is a real game-changer. You can ask it for advice about anything, whether it's what to make for dinner, how to keep a pot plant alive or what to wear on a hot date. You can get it to save your bright ideas so you won't forget them, start a video WhatsApp with your best friend, record a video of something amazing or start livestreaming to your socials. You can use it to send a voice message to your mum. And you can use it to control all your glasses' features including playing your favourite playlists or podcasts. It's all instant, effortless and superbly smart.
