The best budget XR glasses are cheaper than ever for Black Friday, but you have to hurry

XR glasses are the most exciting tech you can use today, and my favorite budget pairs – the RayNeo Air 3S and its Pro model – are down to record-low prices, such as the RayNeo Air 3S Pro selling for $234 at Amazon (saving you $65), a deal that will be gone by Black Friday.

That’s because the XR glasses are discounted by a $15 voucher that has an expiration date of November 27. A new deal may replace it, but we’ve seen before that prices can be higher on Black Friday proper compared to the early sale.

If you travel a lot, XR glasses like this are a must – I use them almost every time I fly and regularly when I’m on a train. You can also use them at home, and for some folks, I’d argue they’re better than a monitor or TV.

Today’s best RayNeo Black Friday deal

These budget-friendly XR glasses are down to a super low cost right now, and while they lack some of the bells and whistles of pricier pairs, they’re still a very solid option. That’s especially true if you’re just looking to dip your toes into the XR world and don’t want to splurge right away.View Deal

XR glasses like these aren’t the same as Meta’s smart glasses (which are also on sale for Black Friday), nor are they interactive AR glasses.

Instead, they’re effectively a wearable monitor for your phone, laptop, or console. Once connected (you may need an HDMI-to-USB-C adapter for some devices), you can play games and watch shows on a giant virtual screen that floats in front of you.

They also have built-in speakers that are decent, though if you’re using them outside your home, I’d recommend a pair of Bluetooth headphones as a companion.

Overall I thought the RayNeo Air 3S glasses impressed me when I reviewed them so I’m sure you’ll enjoy them too.

Just note that whatever you plug them into will lose its charge after a few hours (or faster, based on how much battery life it normally has). As such, something like the RayNeo Pocket TV, which is just over 25% off at Amazon for Black Friday, can be a handy pick up so you can enjoy shows and not have your phone hit zero charge before you reach your destination.
