TCL RayNeo Air 4 to debut as AR glasses with world-first Bang & Olufsen audio

AR glasses are seen as an increasingly viable and commonplace way to game or watch on smartphones, consoles, handhelds or PCs. They still have some weaknesses as flat-screen alternatives nonetheless, one of the most prominent of which is often their on-board speakers.

TCL's latest solution to address this potential problem involves securing a new long-term "strategic licensing partnership" with a well-known player in the audio feed.

The OEM has announced that Denmark's Bang & Olufsen has agreed to provide tuning for next-gen wearables that are to be made available worldwide, developed by the same engineers who work on the brand's own "iconic" audio equipment.

RayNeo's inaugural glasses with Audio by Bang & Olufsen are currently projected to launch worldwide as successors to the micro-OLED-enhanced Air 3s Pros (currently $299 on Amazon) in December 2025, although they might be unleashed under the name Thunderbird Air 4 in China beforehand, in October of the same year.
