The one product I didn't expect to buy this Black Friday was a pair of smart glasses, but Amazon has such amazing discounts (up to $120 off) that I couldn't resist

Save $100: These AR/XR specs from VITURE offer a new immersive way to experience content on a larger display, and from researching these glasses, it seems that it's essentially like wearing a 135-inch portable USB monitor on your face.

They can plug into your desktop and consoles (including the Nintendo Switch) but that's not all, these glasses have a 120Hz refresh rate, spatial photo and video, plus features like VR videos and multiple screen options (just imagine this on your next flight).

UK Deal – £489 £379 at Amazon

Save $60: I've always been sceptical of anything created by Meta (although I love my Meta Quest 3 VR headset) but I'd definitely be willing to give the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses a try, as I've heard positive things, and this Black Friday deal is the perfect excuse to try them out.

These specs have Meta AI built-in, plus an ultra-wide 12mp camera, and open-ear speakers. They certainly look smart too and come in a range of styles, can be polarized for outdoor use, and be fitted with prescription lenses.

Save $120: Fancy a 201-inch screen? This AR smart glasses option from RAYNEO ( a startup incubated by TCL) is equipped with a full HD Micro-OLED 1080p display and four built-in mini speakers for the full immersive experience. It’s compatible with the RayNeo Pocket TV streaming box, plus any type-C compatible devices like computers, smartphones, Nintendo Switch, and the Steam deck.

Pssst - Use code INQ4HWN for an extra $15 off.

Save 20%: These audio glasses from Solos might not look like much, but have a lot of hidden hardware and AI features that make them pretty premium. For example, there's a touch sensor on the side for controlling volume, and hidden USB-C charging.

But what do they do? These specs have seamless interaction with ChatGPT-4o mini for answering your questions, and there's also SolosTranslate for interpreting speech in real time.

Save $50: I'm starting to realise that a lot of these smart glasses have similar names, but this pair of XREAL Air 2 Pro's differ from the glasses above. With these specs, you can enjoy a spatial display and experience 2D apps in a 3D space, by pairing them with the XREAL Beam Pro, an AR device companion.
