Experience iPhone-Synced Magic: RayNeo Air 2s Review – Affordable Augmented Reality in Hand

Key Points:

• The RayNeo Air 2s are a pair of augmented reality glasses that offer a affordable alternative to expensive AR glasses, priced at $399 (currently on sale for $319).
• The glasses have a flexible frame that can fit one size, but may not fit everyone comfortably.
• The glasses have a wired design, requiring a USB-C connection to a device, and do not have a built-in battery or operating system.

As a tech journalist, I had the opportunity to try out the RayNeo Air 2s, a pair of augmented reality glasses that aim to bring a more affordable AR experience to consumers. With a price tag of $399 (currently on sale for $319), these glasses are definitely more accessible than some of the other AR options on the market.

Design and Build:

The first thing I noticed about the RayNeo Air 2s was their design. The front of the glasses is a single sheet of plastic, which gives them a somewhat cheap feel. The frames are flexible, which is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, this means that the glasses can fit one size, making them easy to purchase without worrying about sizing. On the other hand, this flexibility can make it difficult to get a comfortable fit, as I found during my testing. The glasses also come with multiple nose bridges, which can help to improve the fit.

Display and Performance:

The displays on the RayNeo Air 2s are one of their strongest features. With up to 5000 nits of brightness, a 120Hz refresh rate, and good color reproduction thanks to Sony’s microOLED panels, they offer a great visual experience. The displays are 1920×1080 per eye, which is sufficient for reading smaller text and watching videos. RayNeo claims that the displays offer a 201" display size from 6 meters away, making them similar to a theater experience.

Limitations:

One thing that the RayNeo Air 2s lack is a cover for the displays. This is a feature that I’ve seen in other AR glasses, and it would be helpful in blocking out light and providing a more immersive experience. The glasses are also wired, requiring a USB-C connection to a device, which limits their portability. Additionally, they do not have a built-in battery or operating system, which may be a drawback for some users.

Why They Make Sense:

Despite their limitations, I think the RayNeo Air 2s make sense as a product. By not including a battery or operating system, the company is able to keep the cost down and offer a more affordable option for consumers. The glasses are also highly flexible, making them easy to use with a variety of devices, including gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch.

Conclusion:

Overall, the RayNeo Air 2s are a neat pair of glasses that offer a unique augmented reality experience. While they may not be perfect, they are a great option for anyone looking to enhance their media experience on their iPhone or other devices. With a price tag of $319, they are definitely worth considering, especially if you’re looking for a more affordable AR option.
