For a limited time, the RayNeo Air 3S glasses are selling at a 16% discount on Amazon, bringing them down to just $225.

Just about every person to whom I demonstrate XR glasses ends up buying a pair for airline travel, commuting, and Nintendo Switch gaming away from the TV dock. The only hesitancy comes when the price of the glasses is checked, but the latest model from RayNeo takes away that barrier with the RayNeo Air 3S launching at just $269.

For the past month, I have been riding the Sounder train, flying in commercial planes, and sitting on furniture in my house while enjoying movies and my Nintendo Switch on a virtual 201-inch, vibrant display. The RayNeo Air 3S is a great XR glasses option for those looking to experience a big-screen experience at an affordable price.

RayNeo provides a rigid, zippered carrying case to protect the glasses when not in use. A mesh pocket at the top of the case holds the USB-C cable that connects the glasses to your USB-C device that powers the visual experience.

I connected the RayNeo Air 3S to my iPhone 16 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, MacBook Pro, Surface Pro 8, and OnePlus 13. The content on the display of these devices appeared in the glasses while audio played flawlessly through the improved speakers on the Air 3S glasses.
