Whats New in the Latest Model?
Thats the meat of it.
Smart projection glasses capable of producing a 201-inch equivalent screen. The Air 2S includes an improved sound system with on-board brightness controls.
The new speakers sound great, but I wasn’t craving an improvement in sound.
(Bluetooth earbuds are an option too.)
(And not even too dissimilar from theTCL NXTWEAR Sglasses.)

There’s a max brightness of 600 nits.
The glasses dont have a battery and get their data and power over a removable USB-C cable.
If you do want to connect the glasses to a Nintendo Switch you’ll need a special adapter.

For a PlayStation or Xbox, you’ll also need a special HDMI adapter.
Phones without a USB-C port will need an adapter too.
This worked similarly to streaming from a phone but had a much better dedicated experience.

The brightness level was great, even during the day.
Connecting the glasses to my MacBook Air gave me a second monitor.
I could either mirror my laptops display onto the glasses or add the glasses as a second screen.

(Its a little surprising, but there is no Android app for the unit currently.)
Even if spatial videos aren’t commonplace yet, I like the feature inclusion.
I don’t consider that gimmicky.
Still, after all these different uses and scenarios, my favorite was the simplest.
Using the Air 2S to watch shows was one of the easiest and most fulfilling.
I could watch shows in bed without disturbing my wife.
If the living room was occupied, I could pick up the glasses and get them going quickly.
I had no issues doing so, but it was not my preferred use.
Instead, I liked using the glasses with theRayNeo Pocket TV.
Its a small, fat remote control-looking machine that the glasses plug into to access Google TV.
Still, theres plenty of time to watch a long movie.
If you are stationary, theres a secondary USB-C port on the Pocket TV to keep it powered.
I used the Pocket TV to stream shows from all kinds of apps, including the free Google channels.
My favorite was using the MLB app on Google TV to watch baseball games.
The four speakers were plenty loud and did have a convincing surround effect.
Should You Buy the RayNeo Air 2S XR Glasses?
TheRayNeo Air 2Sglasses are a bit of a complicated product.
The projection technology is a marvel, even if the frames arent the sleekest thing to wear ever.
They were comfortable enough though.
Plus, theyre easy to connect to a phone or laptop with a single USB-C cable.
Theyre always ready because they dont have a battery that needs to be charged.
They were handy as a secondary option.
But they were rarely my first choice for cinematic viewing when I didnt need the seclusion.
Right now, in 2024, these are a product made for travelers or portable gamers.
