RayNeo has unveiled the RayNeo Air 4 Pro at CES 2026, positioning it as a head-mounted personal cinema rather than a full mixed-reality device. The Air 4 Pro targets users who want a large-screen viewing and gaming experience in a lightweight, portable form. Its headline feature is HDR10 support, a first for consumer AR (Augmented Reality) glasses, paired with audio tuned by Bang & Olufsen. In simple terms, RayNeo is betting that better display quality, not added sensors or cameras, is what matters most to early AR buyers focused on entertainment.
RayNeo says the Air 4 Pro will go on sale globally from January 25, priced at $299 (roughly Rs 27,000). Indian availability has not been confirmed yet.

The Air 4 Pro uses 0.6-inch dual-layer Micro OLED displays with a Full HD resolution per eye. These panels support a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 1,200 nits, and 3,840Hz PWM dimming, aimed at reducing eye strain during long sessions.
RayNeo claims the glasses simulate a 201-inch screen viewed from about 6 metres, as it sits close to your eyes. This puts them firmly in the same category as display-focused AR glasses from brands like Xreal and Rokid, rather than spatial computing devices like Apple Vision Pro.
Under the hood, there is a custom Vision 4000 chip, developed with Pixelworks. It handles real-time processing such as SDR-to-HDR upscaling and optional 2D-to-3D video conversion. In practice, this should make streamed video look more dynamic, even if the source content is not mastered in HDR.
Audio comes from four built-in speakers with custom sound waveguides. RayNeo says the design delivers directional sound with minimal leakage, which matters if you plan to use the glasses in public spaces.
The glasses weigh 76g and connect over USB-C DisplayPort, making them compatible with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles that support video output.
So, it is still a tethered device, not a standalone AR system. You need a compatible phone, PC, or console to use it. There are also no cameras or spatial tracking features, which limit it to media consumption and gaming rather than productivity or AR overlays. If RayNeo delivers on display quality and comfort, the Air 4 Pro could appeal strongly to frequent travellers, gamers, and users who want a big screen without carrying one.
