Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer AI Glasses Price in Kenya
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer AI glasses price in Kenya is KSh 40,499 at Avechi. They are in stock as genuine stock with a 1-year warranty, for delivery or pick-up from our Nairobi shop.
These are the first-generation Ray-Ban Meta glasses, first released in late 2023. The listing’s specs match that model: a 12MP ultra-wide camera, up to about 4 hours of use per charge and a five-microphone system. They look like a normal pair of Wayfarers but can take photos and video, play music through open-ear speakers and handle calls, all controlled from the frame. They suit people who want hands-free photos and audio in a classic frame at a lower price than the newer Gen 2.
What they do
- Photos and video from eye level. Press the capture button on the arm to take a 12MP photo or record a clip. An LED on the front lights up while recording so people nearby know.
- Open-ear audio. Small speakers in the arms play music, podcasts and calls without blocking your ears, so you can still hear traffic and people around you.
- Calls without your phone in hand. Five microphones pick up your voice for calls and voice commands.
- Touch controls. Swipe and tap the touchpad on the arm to change volume or pause.
- Meta AI voice assistant. Where Meta offers it, you can ask questions or get help by voice. Availability depends on your country and language, so check in the Meta AI app before relying on these features.
