Reviews mention

  • Timeless, iconic designs portfolio
  • Comfortable, lightweight frame fit
  • Durable, long-lasting construction
  • High-quality, protective lenses
  • Flimsy-feeling metal frames
  • Loose, break-prone hinge hardware
  • Inconsistent, sometimes tight sizing
  • Uncomfortable nose-piece pressure

Ray-Ban earns largely positive reviews as a classic, stylish brand whose sunglasses and frames often fit comfortably, feel durable, and deliver strong sun protection and lens quality, with many Wayfarer, Aviator, Erika, and Clubmaster loyalists reporting years of use. Reviews also flag weaknesses: certain models feel flimsy or stretch, hinges and arms can loosen or break, sizing can run large or tight, and laminate/finish issues appear for some—so buyers seeking timeless design and everyday comfort may be satisfied, but durability varies by model.

  • I have had my folding wayfarers for more than 10 years! They are still going strong, and much to my surprise i have not lost them. They are probably the one pair of sunglasses that i have not cleaned out as they are so classic they will never go out of style IMO.

  • ​These are easily one of my favorite tech buys. What surprised me most is how securely they fit, I can wear them all day without any discomfort. Plus, they look aesthetic with literally any outfit. ​The built in speakers are a game changer for hands free music and Meta AI assistance. While the A+ picture quality is stunning, there are 3 minor trade-offs: videos are capped at around 3 minutes, some screens appear very dark and the AI can sometimes be a bit brief with its answers. Overall, they are totally worth it for the tech alone—looking good while wearing them is just a major bonus!

  • Over the years I've had a number of pairs from Ray-Ban, both prescription and nonprescription. My current pair of sunglasses from them (pictured) was gifted to me by some friends; the style is called Izaz, I believe. They feel durable and provide good coverage, and are just generally stylish.

  • Ray Ban sunglasses are heavy and high quality. I like that you can add prescription lenses. The frame and lens options are very customizable, and they have a huge range of sunglass shape options. The storefronts make it easy to get help quickly too, and I find that going in person is an enjoyable experience.

  • Long time fan here. I have multiple styles, but I keep going back to the the Wayfarer. I feel like they look good on anyone and with any outfit making them great for vacations, weddings, and errands. Hoping to get another pair soon.

  • a question

    I have a pair of Ray-Ban Meta, but I don't know how to charge their case, since it's the charger for the glasses. Do I need to buy a special charger, or can I use my phone's charger to charge the case that charges the glasses?

  • Great value for the price. You can find other less expensive. sunglasses but these hold up really well! My husband and I both wear them. They're stylish but timeless at the same time which I love. I've worn my Wayfarers for almost 10 years now.

  • RayBan makes awesome sunglasses. I really enjoyed these sunglasses for the duration I had them. The sad part was the band on the side broke off and it can’t be repaired by Ray-Ban. So that was unfortunate. It broke off from the plastic to the metal part. The bands don’t always set right on the ears. More for the looks than for a rugged hike with these. Just saying. You could get that strap to hold the bands or it falls off your face.

  • Ray bans are my go to sunglass brand. My first pair lasted me 5 years and that’s a great value. I love all of the different styles. You can really find the perfect one for you based on your face. I recently got a new pair and love them.

  • These sunglasses are very high quality and fashionable and comfortable. I have many pairs of Ray Ban sunglasses and also glasses. They don't break easily at all and they protect my eyes. I recommend this brand.

  • We all love our pair(s) it’s just hard to not buy all of these! I do find the ones with nose pieces like traditional to be a little more uncomfortable when wearing for long periods of time

  • Absolutely love, love, love, Ray-Bans! They are such a classic that just suit any and everyone. Even the men’s sunglasses suit girls, and are just so versatile! They can work for everyone and they are so stylish

  • My daughter has been wearing Ray-Ban frames for several years now. She is very happy with the quality and comfort. The glasses are beautiful, lightweight, and quite durable. Among all the brands she tried, they chose Ray-Ban. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything for myself among the sunglasses — everything was too big. Perhaps the store simply didn’t have the right model in stock. My daughter has been wearing these frames for about 2 years, and so far, she is very happy with them. Despite being used daily for a long time, the frames still look great.

  • In my opinion this brand does some of the best aviators. I love how delicate these glasses are but also how they come in so many colours. The variety of colours mean you can find a pair that really suit you and also suit your colouring. These are my “dressed up” sun glasses!

  • RAY-BAN RB3538: I love the look, but they feel flimsy. I feel like I could ben the metal of the frame by accident just by closing the glasses...

  • I have had the classic sunglasses (2 pairs) over 15 years and they are great! Stylish and classic. Effortless put together look. The quality is great!

  • Reasonable price for glasses that last decades! My mom recently gave me her old Raybans & they are now completely back in style. I love the fit of these & find them to be very protective from the sun.

  • These are really easy to buy a dupe of. They are way to expensive to buy first hand. They are so cute though. To me, there’s not really a difference of feel compared to a dupe
