...You may know TCL as one of the largest TV manufacturers in the world. And now, RayNeo has become an industry leader in AR innovation. Currently holding a 28.4% market share in China’s consumer AR smartglasses industry.
So with this reputation, I couldn't help but be intrigued when they reached out as I've been wondering what their glasses bring to the table. So, a big shoutout to TCL for sending them our way and sponsoring this video. As always, my opinions are my own, and in this episode, I'll be sharing my first impressions. Stay tuned for a full review coming later.

Hand tracking and 6dof
100 degree FOV
are there prescription lens inserts for this?
They need IPD adjustment because not everyone has the same distance between eyes.
Can you pls compare with the other glasses. Many people can’t decide between xreal air 2 pro, Rokid max, Viture 2, Rayneo
Xreal air 2 pro 🔥
These kind of displays are definitely the future. I just want a design that uses size of the whole lens. I don't care about being able to see around the display-screen. Since the periphery around the actual frame is open, that is enough.
Your comment nails it. If I need to see around the glasses, just lift the glasses.
They look pretty cool, and I like how these products look more and more like real glasses.
Thank you for this review! I am interested in getting some glasses like these but can't decide which ones.
Gamechanger! That’s the only word I’d use!!!!
Seems they really improved the Glasses Good they don't use magnetic Cables anymore The blurriness however is a absolutely no go Would like to see a comparison with the XReal Air 2 Pro + Beam
gotta wait for the comparison vid. There is a lot of glasses like these coming out, and probably is best to see which company will actually support them, rather than let them die
Very true - the comparison is coming soon! Hope to do it end of month or Dec!
Do you still have plans for a comparison video?
witch one big screen ever xreal air 2 pro or rayneo air 2 ???????????
Thanks for the video as always Cas. It looks really neat n comfy. But I'll wait for the comparison video to see which brand to try out first out of the ones I watched. Before I order my first vr glasses. :)
My use case for these might be video games, but it's mainly media consumption. I need good FOV and immersion. i need opaque viewing possibility, something that shades when I need them to so I can watch a movie on a plane for instance. I want them wireless, maybe with an sd card input so I can bring the movies with me. Being able to make it through a full length movie is essential so 2 hours battery life (or being able to plug them into a portable battery I suppose) is essential. Screen mirroring is a plus, and perhaps opaque can be an option, but being able to see the screen without seeing things THROUGH the media screen is really important.
Hi Cas. The RayNeo Air 2 looks very impressive. Thank you for making this video. Thumbs up. Also I would like to ask do you prefer the Quest 3 or the Bigscreen Beyond headset if you could only choose one headset to use? Thanks and you're awesome.
I have a question . In regular screen mode is the video you see tied to a 3d space or does it follow your neck and head movements , I get dizzy easily when the screen doesn’t stay in place
I'm also interesting to get an answer to this question
Great first look and so many info
Glad you liked it!
Looking forward to your comparison video!
Thanks for sharing Cas. Cheers.
🥂
Wonder if the joydock is compatible with the xreal airs or is it like the viture mobile dock that only supports glasses from the same manufacturer
Looking forward to comparison to the Rokid Max glasses. Would be good to know how they compare, what are the pros and cons of each.
Cool! The Xreal just finally got updated to officially support installing apps onto it. 😁
Perfect for flying on the plane or riding long distance on a train.
Yeah we always bring the Rokid (similar to these glasses) with us when traveling. It's fantastic when gaming 😍
Or driving 👍
Does it support variable refresh rate (FreeSync or G-Sync)?
Hey Cas, great video. I got the Xreal Air 2 Pro, but I'm not impressed with them at all. I got them mainly to watch 3D movies from KZhead or DVD, but they don't seem to work with anything from KZhead. When in 3D mode the display just gets cut into two halves with some space in the middle, but no 3D effect. The only 3D effect I've been able to see is some of the graphics they have on their Nebula appliation, but no video. I was wondering if these RayNeo glasses capable of displaying video clips from KZhead in 3D mode.
love it Cas..thanks!
You're so welcome!
Is it possible to attach monitors using these glasses? Do I need to buy something like bean?
Hello, Is TCL RAY NEO Air 2 support 6 DOF or 3 DOF fixed screen when connecting to PC WINDOWS?
How does the Rayneo Joydock work with the XReal Air 2 Glasses ?
Hello, when connecting glasses to a Windows laptop, does the screen remain fixed in place?
What's your opinion vs the Rokid max + station ? Thanks in advance
are these DRM compatible for netflix and primevideo ? are these HDCP certified ? uploader please advise
Nice work girls, so thank you again😊
Are you still planning a video comparing it with Xreal etc.? with the current sale it would be great to have your perspective 😊
as far as movies go which has better video quality these or similar glasses or quest 3?
how big is the screen approximately?
Is the virtual screen always fixed in front, or can it be anchored in place? Does it depend on what device you're connected to? I got the impression it'd be fixed, but then the laptop screens looked anchored, so... I dunno :s
It looks like it is not fixed for rotation but it is fixed by position so maybe it does have a gyroscope but it does not track position
It supports it (3DoF anchoring) but the software is too early so it doesn't make use of it a lot. Only the PC software and XR mode (with compatible phone) use it right now. If you're like me you probably won't use it a lot, hopefully we will see it more supported natively soon.
Since the Samsung S24 Ultra does not have a Display Port output, wouldn't I have to get a usb-c to hdmi cable?
No ipd adjustment which mean the way u adjust ipd is how far or close u wear them to your eyes. Fov just too small when I wear them at the distance that fit my eye. Same problem with other similar glasses. So its a no go for me cuz it cause too much eye strain when i have to wear it super close just to see the whole screen.
How much power does it draw compared to Viture?
Is the display comparable to the Quest 3?
Hi Cas, is there a 3DOF mode or is it just Zero DOF?
It supports 3DoF but it doesn't make use of it a lot. Only when you use it with a PC you can stick screens in your space, or when you connect it to a supported Android phone in XR mode. The software is early still. I personally never use the 3DoF because of that. I would love to see this more supported by smartglasses like these.
Seems like there would be a lot more motion sickness compared to typical VR headsets?
Just another product you ladies make me wanna buy😂😂😂, nice review like always…not VR, but hope you get your hands on the VALVE STEAM DECK OLED, would be nice to here your thoughts on that device aswell…..🤘🏾
I want oneee but not sure yet if we should get it... There isn't much content around VR I can make with it I think 😭
Also what happens if you have astigmatism (far farsightedness) ?
What about reading text and actually working on them?
Do you know if the lenses have UV protection? I learned from Xreal's customer service that their glasses don't have UV protection and shouldn't be used outdoors. I am curious if TCL thought of this. The issue is tinted glasses without UV protection will cause your pupils to open when outside and increase the UV light entering and cause damage over a long time.
Very very good point!
It's kinda bizarre to me that they didn't add a UV-blocking coating to the outside, yeah. I wouldn't trust any of these products (Xreal, RayNeo, Rokid, etc.) as sunglasses until they've been tested as blocking UV. One small detail that makes this less of a risk: if you are actually using these glasses to display something -- as long as what they are showing isn't dim / dark -- your pupils will be contracted to see the bright screen, and your UV exposure won't be too crazy, assuming you're not actually looking at the sun or something.
I have pre-ordered the XReal Pro 2 are the RayNeos better.
We need a comparison, I haven't found one anywhere.
wait, can you be more specific about the functionality of locking windows in place so that they don't follow your head movement? did I understand that correctly that there is a pc (windows?) app that spawns multiple screens who stay in position? is there functionality like this for connecting to other devices as well? i feel that your video was not specific enough about the features. it's hard to compare this to the other glasses you tested since the video logic/methodology/topics) are not done the same way.
it's an ad video. So there's no way u could trust anything she said.
I tried these glasses and I ended up sending them back because there's no pupillary distance settings. My eyes are wider than the center of the lens. I read a lot of comments saying that the edges of the screens are blurry and the reason why is? It's that their pupils are set wider than the center of the OLED panels. Why don't these companies make an adjustment for pupillary distance. My Quest 2 has an adjustment widen the lenses. I also tried the new Rayneo glasses and they are the same.
what's your pupillary distance? so I would know beforehand whether the glasses suits me or not
Does that multi screen setup work with windows PC.
Yep I used it with Windows 11
@@CasandChary cool
Hey CAS, quick question, what were you eating at 6:43? I'm looking forward to seeing a comparison with the nreal air latest offers. I play VR quite a bit so these products seem interesting but I don't really see how applicable it would be to me on it's day to day usage. Maybe a good idea for a video would be why you'd use a product like this and how it compares to using something like a quest 3 in passthrough. Like for example, I tried using my quest for working in VR using Immersed but it was too much of a hassle with windows moving all over the place, battery life being depleted even despite being connect to it's charger, and latency between what I see on the I did on the PC and what I see on the headset, etc. Would these be a step up for that use case?
Looks like Taiwan Pineapple Cake (鳳梨酥)
What @Youkai_graphics said. It's Taiwanese pineapple cake :D That's a good idea for a video, I've been thinking about it too ever since Q3 came out. Because Q3 is getting amazing as well for doing screen mirroring and playing flat games, but in short, I think it's a harder setup and less comfortable than glasses. You get VR too tho, so the price is more... Justified. The glasses have better video output, easier to mirror screens that have USB C DP and more ergonomic when you travel a lot. So I think it really depends on what you could use it for. For me... I rather game on my Switch with the glasses than without if I don't have my big TV around. It's too much to explain in a comment so I'ma think about working on a video as you suggested, thank you!!
You two can duel in VR whenever you have a dispute over the big TV.
is it 6dof?
Is the software farther along than xreal? Seriously software seems not an important factor and triggering me to switch.
Are these better then n real and rokin
The problem with all these glasses are how can I use them with my bluray player xbox with can only use hdmi with the 120hz option still able to be used. the xreal pro 2 disables 120hz mode with hdmi which defeats the purpose
how did you managed to keep it stayed on your face when you have a pretty small nose bridge?
FOV? 3Dof?
These or Xreal Air 2?
I saw the first version and thought about getting them, but once i saw the price i was confused why they are just as expensive as a high storage version of the Quest2. Now you promote the new version and i AGAIN see that they cost 379$ PLUS 97$ for shipping to europe. There is NO WAY that i will spend ~500€ to import this to "give it a try". Should they one day go down to like 200€ i would give this tech a chance, but this is in no way competetive pricing for tech that a quest3 and future models with path though could do just as well... if not even better.
Totally understand. These are early adopter prices, hope the prices will come down eventually but we need the software first to back it up :)
Love your videos❤
Happy to hear ☺️
Can you tell me what’s the field of view ? 😊😊
wait u guy are from Holland?
Yep Hollands!
i keep forgeting stuff. i probably asked that before xD @@CasandChary
Said the code is not valid?
Fov?
i love you so much❤😍
Love you too!!
I think the reason people don't know about this category of device is because consumer electronics companies don't WANT people to know. This technology is cheap and replaces a lot of expensive tech. A giant OLED TV on your face means that the "home theater" and everything in it disappears. Even couches and coffee tables will sell less when everyone has a TV on their face.
I do like the look of these but I have some reservations. Firstly I find the lack of disclosure regarding FOV suspicious. I guess some people might watch a screen 6mtrs away but I don't. You can claim any screen size if it's far enough away. Knowing that AR glasses with more than double the FOV of what's currently being pushed have been developed and considering the expenses involved I won't be buying these.
😂Totally the AR glasses hustler woman here meant positively 😉
I love smartglasses. Wouldn't call them full AR yet but we are getting there
WOW ! 3% discount !! take my money !
Software looks better than Xreal air nebula
Fov are still to small for me.
😂❤❤
All these glasses need to figure out how to just plug and play instead of using an adapter or buy an adapter to make it work.
You are very right. I also think all devices should just have USB-C DisplayPort like the Steam Deck has and many Android phones. Switch could do it but they seem to purposely exclude it.
@@CasandChary Good point. 👍
These look like a parody sunglasses. Nobody will confuse these with sunglasses so the whole form factor is questionable.
Actually... 'They look like you're wearing regular sunglasses... if you're an EMOJI'.
Lol fair enough
If you are one of the 75% of adults who need vision correction, don't buy one of these unless the manufacturer lets you enter your prescription when you buy them. They are glasses. You shouldn't have to wear glasses to use them.
They included the prescription template with the glasses and partnered with a company to make custom prescription inserts (just like Meta) . I wear prescription glasses and ordered RayNeo a couple of days ago which should arrive in a few days. Supposedly they can't be worn over glasses so I'll have to order the custom inserts
Nobody asked
They are XR glasses, not prescription glasses. Individuals may need their prescription glasses to see these.
@@dennisveazey4313 Glasses of any kind don't work well if you are already wearing glasses. That's why VR and XR glasses need to be made with the user's prescription. This will maximize comfort and image quality.
3:37 "1920x1080 in 2D and 3840x1080 in 3D". What are you even talking about? You think we are lobotomized or what? Dislike.
She’s so pretty tho and her voice🥹😍😍🥰🥰 review also btw😅😅
WOWOW!
