Mascom International stocks the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 at KSh 48,000, brand new and sealed, in model RW4006, size 50, with a black frame and green lenses. Released by Ray-Ban and Meta in 2023, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 fits a 12MP ultra-wide camera, 1080p video, 32GB of onboard memory, two open-ear speakers and five microphones into Ray-Ban's classic square shape. A charging case and Meta AI voice control come with it. You can see the pair at our shop in Room 4 on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for sales teams, tour guides and university students across Kenya, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 turns everyday sunglasses into a camera, headset and music player. A guide in the Maasai Mara can film a lion sighting while keeping both hands on binoculars. A sales rep walking between Upper Hill offices can answer a WhatsApp call without digging through a bag. Students at Strathmore or USIU can record a campus event from eye level with one tap. Because your ears stay open, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 lets you hear traffic, colleagues and announcements while music plays.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that hand over a sealed box with no demonstration, Mascom International pairs the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 with your own phone at the counter so you leave knowing how it works. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the green tint feels comfortable in strong midday sun because colours stay natural. Against the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 at KSh 59,000, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 saves you KSh 11,000 for the same frame style. Walk in to try it, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1
What is the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 green lens price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 with green lenses for KSh 48,000, brand new and sealed, at our Nairobi CBD store. You get the RW4006 glasses in size 50 with a black frame, the charging case, a cleaning cloth and 12 months of warranty cover. Payment happens on arrival, once the parcel is in your hands. The graphite-lens version of the same model costs KSh 49,000, just KSh 1,000 more, while the cat-eye Ray-Ban Meta Skyler Gen 1 is on offer at KSh 39,000.
How does the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 compare with the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2?
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 adds longer battery life and higher-resolution video, while the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 keeps the same square frame at a lower price. This Gen 1 pair records 1080p video and runs up to 4 hours per charge, and its successor improves on both. Mascom International sells the Gen 2 Wayfarer at KSh 59,000, or KSh 64,000 with Transitions lenses that darken outdoors. Choose Gen 1 if photos, music and calls are your main use. Choose Gen 2 if you film daily and want fewer recharges.
Can I take calls on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 in a noisy matatu?
Yes, the five-microphone array on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 is tuned to pick up your voice, so callers hear you through matatu music and hooting outside. The open-ear speakers sit just above your ears, and a swipe on the right-arm touchpad raises the volume in heavy traffic. Calls route through your phone, so Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom lines all work, as do WhatsApp voice calls over data. Because the sound is not sealed in, a neighbour on a packed seat may hear faint audio at high volume.
How do the green lenses on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 handle bright sun?
The green lenses on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 use Ray-Ban's classic G-15 tint, a category 3 filter made for bright daylight. G-15 cuts glare while keeping colours close to natural, so traffic lights, faces and road markings look as they should. Category 3 suits strong equatorial sun on Thika Road or along the coast. These lenses are not polarised, so phone screens and car dashboards stay readable through them. They are too dark for night driving or dim indoor rooms.
Can content creators livestream from the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 can broadcast live to Instagram and Facebook from your point of view, using your phone's internet connection. Viewers see exactly what you see, and the microphones carry your commentary. Streaming eats data quickly, so a large bundle or venue Wi-Fi shared through your phone keeps the picture steady. It also uses more battery than photos or music, so keep the charging case close. Journalists and event hosts use it for behind-the-scenes coverage that would feel staged on a handheld phone.
Who gets the most from the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1, and who should pass on it?
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 rewards people who already wear sunglasses outdoors and want a camera, headset and music player in one pair. Sales staff, tour guides, cyclists and outdoor event hosts fit that profile. Pass on it if you spend most of the day indoors, because the green tint is too dark for offices and lecture halls. People who record constantly and need more runtime are better served by the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2. Anyone after a fashion-led cat-eye look should try the Ray-Ban Meta Skyler Gen 1.
Does the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 need internet to take photos?
No, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 shoots photos and video offline, saving everything to its 32GB of built-in memory. A hike up Mount Longonot or a game drive with no signal still produces footage. Music and calls need only a Bluetooth link to your phone. Internet becomes necessary for Meta AI answers, live streaming and sending messages by voice. Once you are back in coverage, open the Meta AI app and your files move across.
How do I move photos from the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 to my phone?
Open the Meta AI app, formerly Meta View, and the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 sends new photos and videos to your phone over a direct Wi-Fi 6 link. The transfer does not touch your data bundle, and clips land in your gallery ready for WhatsApp, TikTok or Instagram. With 32GB on board, the glasses hold more than 500 photos or upwards of 100 half-minute clips between imports. Clearing imported files frees room for the next outing, and our staff can walk you through the first import in store.
Technical Specifications
Camera and Recording
- 12MP ultra-wide camera — takes in a wide field of view, so groups and scenery fit without you stepping backwards.
- 3024 x 4032 pixel stills — sharp enough for profile pictures, property adverts and social posts straight from the glasses.
- 1080p recording at 30 frames per second — Full HD footage that looks clean on phone screens, laptops and video uploads.
- Vertical framing — clips land in the tall format used by TikTok, Reels and WhatsApp Status, so no editing is needed.
- Front-facing recording LED — lights up during capture so people around you know they are being filmed.
Sound and Voice Control
- Dual open-ear speakers in the arms — music and calls reach you clearly while traffic and nearby voices stay audible.
- Five built-in microphones — carry your voice on calls and record the surrounding sound alongside every video.

Power and Charging
- Up to 4 hours per charge — enough for a morning commute, a handful of calls and a playlist before recharging.
- Charging case holding up to 8 refills — the glasses top up on their own each time you store them inside.
- About 32 hours of reserve power in a full case — handy when the next wall socket is a long way off.

Frame and Lens Build

- Size 50 lens width — the standard Wayfarer fitting, close to a typical everyday pair of sunglasses.
- Black frame finish — a neutral colour that sits well with suits, uniforms and casual wear alike.
- G-15 green lenses — a category 3 tint that cuts bright glare while keeping colours true to life.
- Electronics hidden in the arms — camera, battery, speakers and microphones sit inside a frame that looks like regular sunglasses.
