Brighter, Bolder, and Built for Outdoors

The Air 3s Pro steps up the brightness to 1,200 nits, nearly double the 650 nits on the Air 3s. This jump has a noticeable impact in bright environments. Content appears sharper in sunny conditions, and dark scenes with bright elements like stars show higher contrast and greater clarity.

The display uses the HueView 2.0 Micro OLED engine with a tandem OLED structure. This improves edge sharpness, contrast ratio (200,000:1), and overall energy efficiency. Color accuracy also improves with 98% DCI-P3 coverage and △E<2 precision. RayNeo includes new viewing modes like Vision Boost for outdoor use and Eye Protection for long sessions.

It’s What’s on the Inside (and the Outside)

The design stays nearly identical to the original model, but the internals tell a different story. The updated optical engine reduces glare by 15% and sharpens visuals across the entire field of view. Ghosting and color fringing are less noticeable.

The glasses weigh 76 grams like the original, but they now use a refined weight balance with 46.7% front and 53.3% rear for better overall comfort. It also offers nine levels of temple adjustment and three levels of nose pad positioning. The fit works better across different head shapes without increasing pressure.

Whisper Mode Gets Louder… Privately

The quad-speaker system on the Air 3s Pro remains compact but now supports spatial audio. It delivers a more directional and immersive sound experience, useful for watching movies or playing games. RayNeo’s Whisper Mode continues to minimize audio leakage. Sound remains clear even in shared environments like cafes or flights.

Vocals have improved clarity, and background effects maintain separation. The speakers are placed in dual acoustic chambers for a fuller stereo image. This upgrade gives the Pro a stronger edge for media consumption without requiring headphones.

Familiar Looks

The Air 3s Pro looks nearly identical to the 3s. The only noticeable difference is the uniform black finish, which replaces the two-tone silver and black design on the earlier model.

RayNeo ships the Pro with a new triangular soft-shell case. It feels nicer to the touch and resembles a traditional sunglasses pouch. However, the original hard-shell case provides better structural protection and includes a pocket for storing cables. The new case saves some space but doesn’t feel as secure inside a backpack.

Broad Compatibility, Now Switch 2 Ready

RayNeo retains the same wide device compatibility. The Air 3s Pro connects via USB-C to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and handheld consoles that support DisplayPort Alt Mode. It also works with HDMI adapters for legacy devices.

The Pro adds support for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 when paired with RayNeo’s updated JoyDock. This improvement expands the use case for portable gaming. Support for Steam Deck, PS5, and Xbox also remains available through HDMI to USB-C adapters.

The Best Just Got Cheaper

Despite several meaningful upgrades, the Air 3s Pro costs less than the Air 3s at launch. The $249 price includes an auto-applied coupon, making it one of the most affordable AR glasses with high-end display and audio features.

The Air 3s Pro improves display brightness, reduces visual strain, enhances audio privacy, and adds compatibility features, all while lowering the barrier to entry. This version does not reinvent the formula but refines nearly every core component, making it a smarter buy whether you’re new to AR glasses or looking for a better upgrade path.

We’ve also covered the RayNeo Air 3s Pro vs RayNeo Air 3s in detail; don’t miss that breakdown if you’re deciding between the two.

Same Shape, Slightly Sharper Identity

At first glance, the Air 3s Pro doesn’t scream new generation. The industrial design is nearly identical to the standard Air 3s, right down to the 76g weight and FlexiFit hinge system. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, the original was already one of the lightest and most comfortable AR video glasses available.

However, subtle design tweaks stand out. The Pro version opts for a uniform matte black finish, ditching the silver-accented frame found on some Air 3s models. It’s a cleaner, more minimalist look that feels better suited for mainstream appeal.

In the hand and on the face, both glasses feel equally balanced. The clamping force has been slightly reduced on the Pro, and RayNeo includes additional nose pads for finer comfort tuning. The Pro still floats slightly off the face, allowing ambient light to seep in from the bottom, a known tradeoff. That said, a separately sold lens shade accessory is expected to fix that, at least partially.

Display: The Biggest Reason to Go Pro

Here’s where the real differentiation begins. The Air 3s Pro jumps from 650 nits to a staggering 1200 nits of brightness. This isn’t just a spec bump, it directly improves contrast, visibility in bright environments, and overall display punchiness.

Both models use RayNeo’s in-house HueView micro-OLED technology with 200,000:1 contrast and 98 percent DCI-P3 coverage, but the Pro steps up to HueView 2.0, a tandem OLED structure that improves clarity, transmission efficiency, and reduces glare by 15 percent. Dark scenes sparkle more, highlights pop, and overall immersion improves, especially in rooms with bright ambient light.

They share the same 201-inch virtual screen size at 6 meters, 60Hz default refresh rate with 120Hz support, and large 14×7 mm EyeBox. Color modes include six presets on both: Standard, Game, Movie, Eye-Protection, Professional, and Vision Boost. Color temperature is 7500K for the Pro, slightly cooler than the Air 2s or Air 2.

Audio and Immersion: More Theater, Less Leakage

The Pro adds spatial audio support to the same dual opposing acoustic chamber speaker system used in the 3s. This makes a meaningful difference when watching action films or gaming. Audio feels more three-dimensional, and Whisper Mode 2.0 continues to minimize sound leakage impressively.

Overall tuning has been improved on the Pro. Voices sound cleaner, stereo separation feels more accurate, and spatial positioning adapts better to head movement. It’s not audiophile-grade, but it definitely elevates the theater experience over the Air 3s.

Portability: Hard Shell vs Soft Case

Ironically, the original Air 3s feels more travel-friendly thanks to its rigid zipper case with a molded interior and cable pocket. The Air 3s Pro ships with a sleeker fabric case that looks more like a high-end sunglasses pouch, but it’s flimsier and less structured.

Cable storage also differs. The older case has a dedicated internal compartment, while the Pro case requires you to squeeze the cable in manually. If you’re tossing your glasses into a bag, the Air 3s case feels more secure and durable. The Pro case wins on aesthetics, but not practicality.

Compatibility: No Surprises, Just Plug and Play

Both models support a wide range of devices via USB-C DisplayPort, including Android phones, iPhones (with adapter), tablets, laptops, the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Steam Deck, and PS5 or Xbox (via HDMI adapter). You’ll need RayNeo’s optional JoyDock for Switch compatibility, and both models support it equally.

Whether you’re streaming content, playing games, or extending your desktop, the plug-and-play experience is identical between the two. Both also support prescription lens inserts and 20-step brightness adjustment.

Pricing: Surprisingly, Pro Is Cheaper For Now

In a twist, the Air 3s Pro launches at just $249 during early access, which undercuts the original Air 3s launch price of $269. That price includes all the upgrades: 1200 nits brightness, spatial audio, improved display optics, better comfort tuning, and full platform compatibility.

RayNeo also plans to offer trade-in options, referral rewards, and creator incentives, making the Pro an even more accessible upgrade path for returning users.

Verdict: The Pro Is the Real Flagship

If you’re buying into wearable displays for the first time, the Air 3s Pro is the model to get. It fixes core complaints from the Air 3s, mainly brightness and immersion, without adding bulk or sacrificing compatibility. The improved sound profile, refined visuals, and clever new display modes make the Pro feel more mature and versatile.

That said, if you already own the Air 3s and don’t care about outdoor usage or spatial audio, you’re still holding onto a solid piece of hardware. But if you’re curious about what the next step in wearable display tech looks like or just want the best possible experience right now, the Air 3s Pro is absolutely worth it.

The first thing you notice is how light these feel – just 76 grams, and the weight distribution actually works. They sit comfortably without that front-heavy feeling you sometimes get with tech-packed glasses. The adjustable temples and nose pads are a nice touch too, making them fit well across different face shapes.

But the real star here is that display. At 1,200 nits, this thing is blindingly bright – literally the brightest we’ve seen in AR glasses. RayNeo‘s HueView 2.0 Micro-OLED screens deliver some seriously impressive specs: 200,000:1 contrast ratio and 98% DCI-P3 color coverage. The result? Crisp, vibrant visuals that genuinely feel like you’re looking at a massive 201-inch screen from across the room. Whether you’re gaming or binge-watching shows, the experience is pretty compelling.

The audio surprised us too. Instead of the tinny sound you might expect from glasses, RayNeo packed in four speakers with spatial audio that actually follows your head movements. It’s genuinely immersive. The Whisper Mode is clever – it focuses the sound right at your ears so you’re not broadcasting what you’re watching to everyone around you.

RayNeo clearly did their homework on eye safety. These have TÜV SÜD certifications for low blue light and flicker-free viewing, plus they use 3,840Hz PWM dimming with 20 brightness settings. Translation: you can actually wear these for extended periods without your eyes feeling fried.

Connection-wise, they’re pretty versatile. Your phone connects via DisplayPort (works with both Android and iOS), Nintendo Switch hooks up through their JoyDock adapter, and there are HDMI adapters for PCs and consoles. You can even get accessories that let you charge your devices at 100W while using the glasses.

We’re still putting these through their paces in different scenarios, but our initial take? RayNeo seems to have nailed the fundamentals – comfort, display quality, and audio – that make or break a wearable display. More detailed thoughts coming as we spend more time with them.

RayNeo Air 3s Pro Specifications

At $249 (normally $299), these glasses pack some serious specs. The standout feature is definitely the brightness – we’re talking 1,200 nits, which RayNeo claims makes these the brightest AR glasses you can buy right now. That’s powered by their HueView 2.0 Micro-OLED displays, delivering incredibly sharp contrast and vibrant colors that cover 98% of the DCI-P3 color space.

What’s cool is how they’ve thought about different use cases. There’s a Movie Mode for 3D films, Game Mode optimized for high-end games, and even a Vision Boost mode that helps you see clearly when you’re outside in bright sunlight. For professionals who need color accuracy, there’s a dedicated mode for that too, plus an Eye Protection mode that mimics the look of paper to reduce eye strain.

Speaking of eye comfort, RayNeo got TÜV SÜD certification for low blue light emission and flicker-free viewing. They’re using high-frequency PWM dimming at 3,840Hz with 20 different brightness levels, so you can dial in exactly what feels comfortable for extended viewing sessions.

The audio setup is pretty impressive – four speakers create spatial surround sound that actually tracks with your head movements. There’s also a “Whisper Mode” that focuses the sound directly at your ears, which is great if you don’t want to disturb people around you.

Comfort-wise, they kept the weight down to 76 grams with balanced distribution so they don’t feel front-heavy. The temples and nose pads adjust to fit different face shapes, and the large EyeBox means the sweet spot for clear vision is pretty forgiving. If you wear glasses, you can get prescription lens inserts.

Connectivity is solid – they work with pretty much everything. Your phone (Android or iOS) connects via DisplayPort, Nintendo Switch hooks up through their JoyDock accessory, and you can connect to PCs, PlayStation, or Xbox through HDMI. There are optional adapters that let you charge your devices with up to 100W while using the glasses.

If you order now, RayNeo says they’ll ship on August 27th, with delivery expected between September 1st and 3rd. They’re also offering accessory bundles tailored for streaming or gaming setups.
