The Ray Neo Air 4 Pro smart glasses are easily the best budget smart specs you can buy if you’re after the ultimate portable entertainment gadget.
High-tech specs are all the rage, but there are different types in this broad category. You have the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which offer audio-only AI assistance, the Snap Specs, which deliver AI and full-on AR, and then something like the Ray Neo glasses, which act like your own private movie theatre.
You connect them to a compatible USB-C device, and your screen will be projected in front of you on a virtual 200-inch screen that only you can see.
This setup is perfect in so many scenarios. When I’m taking a flight I can watch Netflix on a giant display that’s better than any in-flight entertainment screen, I can lay back in bed with my Asus Rog Xbox Ally X display virtually projected onto my ceiling, and when I’m working on a story about an unannounced gadget I can rely on the specs to keep that info private with a display no one else can read.
If you don’t yet own a pair of smart glasses like this, you absolutely should. They’re a must-buy ahead of this year’s Summer travel season, and thanks to Amazon Prime Day there’s never been a better time to grab a pair.
Did I mention that the specs are only
I never travel without my phone, passport or a pair of smart glasses like these because they're so excellent at keeping me entertained on long flights (provided my phone doesn't run out of battery first).
The Ray Neo Air 4 Pro glasses were already incredible value for money, but they just got even better with a discount for Prime Day that knocks over a third off.
When tech prices have been on a sharp increase, it’s a breath of fresh air to see something as genuinely excellent as the Ray Neo Air 4 Pros not only launch at a budget-friendly price, but then fall during Prime Day sales.
While the Ray Neo Air 4 Pro glasses aren’t as unique as this category once was — I mean, we’re four generations in on just this product alone, plus all of its rivals from other brands — the tech stands alone because it’s so budget-friendly and yet incredibly capable.
The micro-OLED displays boast HDR10 support — and they were the first smart glasses of this type to do so. This means they boast an incredible range of color hues, with professional accuracy that will make your HDR10-supported content pop. Plus, as you expect from OLED screens, the contrast is solid, especially if you use a lens cover to block out external light.
As for audio, while headphones are a solid option if you want to keep what you’re listening to more private, Ray Neo’s specs boast spatial audio tuned by experts Bang & Olufsen. They sound great, and a major step up from the earliest generations of smart specs, which were effectively unusable sonically unless you had a pair of Bluetooth cans.
