RayNeo Air 4 Pro Hands-On: Budget XR Glasses That Work With Switch 2

The RayNeo Air 4 Pro are a more affordable entry in the growing crowd of AR glasses aimed at giving you a big-screen experience without an actual big screen — and they're compatible with Switch 2.

Nintendo Life got hands-on time with the glasses, placing them in the same category as the Viture XR and Viture Beast XR glasses previously reviewed. The Beast XR costs more than a Switch 2 console on its own, so the Air 4 Pro is pitching itself as the budget-friendlier option for the same core use case: strap on the glasses, plug in your console, and get a virtual cinema display wherever you are.

The AR glasses market has expanded quickly alongside the rise of lightweight, high-resolution display tech. Devices like these aren't true augmented reality in the overlay-digital-objects-on-the-real-world sense — they're essentially wearable monitors, projecting a large virtual screen in your field of view. The Switch 2's USB-C video output makes it a natural pairing for this kind of accessory.

The full hands-on impressions are up on Nintendo Life. If you've been eyeing XR glasses as a Switch 2 companion but balked at premium pricing, the Air 4 Pro looks like the option worth watching.
