[2025 New] RayNeo Air 3s XR Glasses - AR Glasses 201" 120Hz FHD HueView Eye-Care Video Display, Smart Gaming Glasses for iPhone 16,15/Android/Mac/Switch/PS5/SteamDeck

These are my first AR/XR glasses, I've been on the fence about picking up a pair but at $219.00 I said why not.I purchased these glasses for one specific use, to plug them into my Steam Deck. Let me just say these are perfect for what I wanted.They are plug and play, USB-C right into the Deck and boom, picture went straight to the glasses. Now I know these types of glasses are marketed at saying you'll have a 2000 inch screen in front of your face! But that's not really the reality of it. It does look like you have a large screen in front of you, but I could compare it to me sitting 2 feet away from my 27 inch monitor. It does look large, but its not an IMAX experience, however it does add a layer of immersion you don't get looking at a screen.With that out of the way, the screen itself is beautiful. The colors are full and vivid, the screen is bright, refresh rate is 120 hz, for 1080P it is still crystal clear. Even the edges are pretty clear which I was worried about. The blacks are dark and rich as I would expect from OLED. One thing to note is the glasses do not have a dark/dim option to keep out light, so they are not really suited for outdoor use. Inside however the picture is very visible, I decided to keep the protective sticker that comes on the lenses to add another layer of light blockage.Now there is the sound, let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised at how well they sounded. I heard everything clearly and while my brother was about 3 feet away he couldn't hear them. You also get a surround sound experience from them as each arm has two speakers, one aimed down and the other aimed up.You will need to fiddle with the glasses a bit so that you hit that sweet spot in being able to see the whole screen. For me I had to push the pads all the way into the frame and then put the arms of the glasses at their lowest position. There are three positions, low, mid and high, depending on which part of the screen you are having a hard time seeing. There is no option to change the screen size or pin the screen, which is not a deal breaker for me.I wear glasses daily as I am near sighted, I tried the glasses on first without my glasses because obviously they wouldn't fit, but everything was blurry as though the screen was really far away. I threw on a pair of old contacts I had and everything looked a lot better. The glasses come with a small eyeglass demo frame which is just the middle piece that goes into the frame of the glasses that connects to two prescription lenses. I tried getting a pair made locally but I was hit with a $250 asking price! Did a little research and found a company called HONSVR that makes inserts specifically for these glasses. Total was $65.00 with shipping.In regards to battery draw, the glasses get their power from whatever they are plugged into. So in my instance the Steam Deck was powering the glasses. To be honest I didn't notice any more of a power draw compared to just using the Deck alone. I was still getting hours of gameplay from indie games and 2 hours from more demanding games, the glasses didn't make much of a difference.There is an adapter that will let you use the Deck with the glasses and charge both at the same time, will most likely pick one up once my lens inserts arrive.Comfort wise these are great, the frames are lightweight, the nose pads are comfy and the screen has some kind of technology that helps keeps the eye strain to a minimum. I had them on for roughly 4 hours the other night and my eyes were no worse for wear.All in all, for the price point, build, screen and speaker quality, I would highly recommend these for gamers who are looking for an immersive experience or maybe those who can't hog the family TV or want to game in bed at night before sleeping and not bothering their significant other.

This review is preliminary, and I will edit it as I use the device more. In a nutshell, this is a no-brainer buy at this price point!The Rayneo Air 3s is an impressive piece of technology that delivers a lot of value, especially for those looking for a portable, immersive secondary screen experience at an excellent price.Pros:Excellent Color & Vibrant Display: One of the standout features is the display. It’s beautiful! The colors are rich and vibrant, with a brightness level that holds up well even in sunlight. This makes it an excellent option for both productivity and media consumption.Intuitive & Easy to Use: Setting up and using the Rayneo Air 3s is simple. Connecting it to your devices is seamless, and the interface is intuitive, making it an ideal choice for users who are not too tech-savvy but still want the benefits of a high-tech secondary display.Flawless as a Secondary Screen: As a secondary display, the Rayneo Air 3s performs flawlessly. There are no blurry edges, and the screen provides crisp, clear visuals, making it a great tool for multitasking or media usage, especially movies and gaming.Comfortable for Long Use: The device is comfortable to wear for extended periods. Whether you’re working or watching content, it doesn’t cause strain or discomfort, which is a big plus for long sessions.Cons:Minimal but Noticeable Glare in Dark Media: While the display is impressive, there is minimal but noticeable glare when viewing movies or videos, particularly in dark scenes. This can slightly disrupt the viewing experience but is not a dealbreaker.Limited Content on Rayneo XR App: The Rayneo XR app has great potential but is currently lacking in content and apps. More variety would definitely make the experience more enjoyable for users who are looking for an all-in-one immersive platform.Sound Clarity and Volume: The sound quality could be better, as the volume isn’t always loud enough, and it can sometimes be difficult to hear clearly. This seems to be specific to each device. For example, on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the sound is not as loud as I would like. However, on my Steam Deck, the sound is excellent. I found that, I have to use boosters to really hear media like movies using VLC or Kodi but gaming on the Steam Deck is pretty decent. However, using headphones will give a much more rich and immersive experience.Battery Drain on Devices: A minor but noticeable downside is the drain on your output device. I’ve been using the Rayneo Air 3s with my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and it tends to drain the battery fairly quickly. If you're planning to use it for extended periods, you’ll need to have your device charged or plugged in or buy some of the peripherals that Rayneo offers to alleviate this concern.Final Thoughts:Overall, the Rayneo Air 3s is a fantastic portable display with vibrant colors, a bright screen, and an intuitive user interface. While it has a few drawbacks, including minimal but noticeable glare in dark scenes and limited app content, it still shines as a reliable, beautiful secondary screen. It’s especially useful for people on the go or anyone looking for a personal media experience, offering both comfort and ease of use. Considering the price for what you get, it’s closer to a perfect score. I am very happy with my purchase!
