When you don’t want to crane your neck to see a giant screen you might want to consider a pair of smart glasses. They’ve become more stylish, but smart specs don’t come cheap — unless you check out the RayNeo Air 3s Pro XR glasses.
The standard Air 3s specs are rated as the best smart glasses for those looking to save a buck. However, the Pro version is both a bit more powerful and only slightly more expensive.
Seriously, the RayNeo Air 3s Pro gives you a comfortable pair of smart glasses with the picture quality of a $500 set for under $300. If you’re not looking for fancy spatial computing but do want an external display for your face, you can’t really go wrong with these peepers.
In our RayNeo 3s Air Pro review, we said that it’s a well-rounded package at a good price. Plus, compared to the standard model, the Pro variant features better weight distribution, boosted bass in the built-in speakers and improved display tech.
We already consider the Air 3s Pro a steal at the usual price of $299 since it offers great image quality that rivals more expensive options like the Xreal One and Viture Pro. Physically, these specs weigh 2.8 ounces, making them some of the lightest AR glasses on the market. Plus, the sleeker design means that they look more “normal” than other external display smart glasses.

It’s not quite as subtle a look as that of the Ray-Ban Meta gen 2 glasses, but these specs do different things at a much cheaper price. So if you’re looking to get a taste of what smart glasses can do without splurging on a pricey set, well, the RayNeo Air 3s might just be the low-cost entry-level option you need—and this Black Friday sale makes them all the more appealing.
