Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer vs Skyler vs Headliner: Same Glasses, Three Faces

What is the same

Everything that plugs in. Android Central's Gen 2 spec table covers all three frames with one column: 12 MP camera, 3K/30 and 1080p/60 video, five mics, two open-ear speakers, up to 8 hours, 32 GB, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, the same case. Every lens type — clear, sun, polarized, Transitions — is available on every frame, and every one takes a prescription. The launch price was the same $379 for all three.

What is different

Sizes and bridges, plainly

Only the Wayfarer has a width choice, and it is a real one: 137 mm across versus 131, 155 mm temples versus 150 (Tom's Guide) — the Standard vs Large page is that decision. The Skyler and Headliner are one width each but offer bridge fits instead: a High bridge sits the frame higher for a prominent nose bridge; a Low bridge (Headliner only) adds nose-pad depth for a flatter bridge so the frame does not rest on the cheeks. If a normal Ray-Ban slides down your nose, the Low-bridge Headliner is the frame designed for you; if a normal Ray-Ban sits too low and touches your cheekbones, the High-bridge Skyler or Headliner. Amazon lists the Headliner Low Bridge as a separate item.

Which looks least like a gadget

All three are thick because the temples hold speakers and a battery. Android Central: “the Wayfarers are the default look, boxy and a bit generic to blend in the most, while the rounded-edge Headliners and Skylers soften the thick-framed look somewhat.” If disappearing is the goal, the Skyler and Headliner read slightly less like tech; the Wayfarer reads as the Wayfarer everyone recognizes, which is its own kind of disappearing.

The safest way to buy the right one

Match the lens width printed inside a pair you already own and order that size — the sizes guide has the millimeters for all three shapes. Meta's store lists free returns, which is the real fitting room, so the shape is the only call you have to make from a picture.
