Five products announced around CES in January are on sale in the US as of Oct. 25: Rokid's AI Glasses Style, RayNeo's Air 4 Pro, XREAL's 1S and ROG XREAL R1 and RingConn's Gen 3 ring. Meta's CES news was software for Meta Ray-Ban Display and a pause on its international rollout, which ended on Sept. 23. A RayNeo prototype and a Meta demonstration with Garmin are not products. Other makers also showed glasses at the show; this list covers the products Talaya has guides for.

This analysis is based on Rokid's CES announcement and the companies' releases and stores as recorded in Talaya's product guides, with US prices as of Oct. 25, 2026; Talaya hasn't used these products.

Rokid AI Glasses Style

Rokid introduced Style at CES, according to a Jan. 7 item on its news page. The glasses weigh 38.5 grams, have no screen and are built around voice. They have a 12MP Sony camera that records video up to 4K for as long as 10 minutes at a time, and Rokid says they last up to 12 hours of normal use. The assistant works with several AI platforms, including ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Qwen, and Rokid launched an online prescription service for them covering plano to plus or minus 15.00 diopters. The item gave a global starting price of $299, opened reservations with a $1 deposit and set the online launch for Jan. 19.

Style shipped. Rokid said on Feb. 2 that it was available worldwide and had passed 15,000 units sold, according to our Rokid guide, which also lists it on Amazon US. The price is different now: on Oct. 25, Rokid's pages listed $399 as the regular price, with $299 as an event price on its fall sale page. The pages we read don't say whether the January $299 was an introductory price.

RayNeo: Air 4 Pro on sale, Project eSIM still a concept

RayNeo's Jan. 6 release said it was debuting "the world's first HDR10-enabled AR glasses" at CES. They are the Air 4 Pro, screen glasses that plug into a phone, laptop or console. RayNeo's US store lists them from $299 as of Oct. 25. They weigh 76 grams, are rated up to 1,200 nits at 120Hz and project what RayNeo calls a 201-inch virtual screen, per our RayNeo guide.

The camera-equipped X3 Pro wasn't a CES launch. RayNeo says it launched on Dec. 17, 2025, with an early-bird price of $1,099, and its store lists it at $1,299. What RayNeo did show at CES was an X3 Pro called Project eSIM, which the company describes as a prototype concept, not a product.

XREAL: 1S, Neo and ROG XREAL R1

XREAL announced the 1S and a power hub called Neo on Jan. 4. The 1S, which has 1200p optics, a 52-degree field of view and XREAL's X1 chip, replaced the original One as the entry model and sells for $449. Neo combines a 10,000mAh power bank with a video hub and costs $119 after a launch offer. On Jan. 5, XREAL and ASUS's Republic of Gamers brand unveiled the ROG XREAL R1, micro-OLED glasses that run at up to 240Hz, which the companies call a first for glasses. XREAL's US store lists it at $849. Our XREAL lineup guide compares every model.

XREAL's Android XR glasses weren't a CES launch. On Jan. 6, Google and XREAL extended their Android XR partnership, and the Aura glasses were priced on Oct. 7 at $1,279 and $1,499. Our XREAL Aura guide has the status.

Meta: software, a pause and a demo

Meta's CES post on Jan. 6 covered software, a rollout decision and two experiments. The software was a teleprompter for Meta Ray-Ban Display, which began rolling out in January, and a test of neural handwriting with Early Access users in the US, in English, on WhatsApp and Messenger. Our Meta Neural Band guide says Meta reported on March 31 that handwriting was rolling out to everyone, and that Meta extended it to Meta AI for Early Access users in the US and Canada in July.

The rollout decision was a pause. Meta said waitlists extended "well into 2026" and that it had "decided to pause our planned international expansion to the UK, France, Italy, and Canada," to focus on US orders, as our release-dates guide records. The expansion came at Connect on Sept. 23, with Germany added to the original list. The glasses went on sale that day in the UK at £749 and in Canada at CA$1,149. France, Italy and Germany share a €899 price, with pre-orders from Sept. 23 and online ordering and store sales from Oct. 13. In the US they are $799, including the Neural Band.

The two experiments aren't products. One was a proof of concept with Garmin in which car passengers use the Neural Band to scroll and pinch through Garmin's Unified Cabin infotainment system. The other was research with the University of Utah on using the band to control smart-home devices and the university's TetraSki for people with limited hand mobility. Meta's vice president of wearables, Alex Himel, said the band and its EMG technology "could be the best way to control any device." For now it controls one: Meta Ray-Ban Display.

RingConn Gen 3

RingConn unveiled its Gen 3 smart ring at CES. RingConn's US store lists it at $428 with no subscription, and the company rates it at 11 to 14 days per charge, or 10 to 12 with vibration alerts on, according to our smart ring guide.

Not new at CES

The Even Realities G2 wasn't a CES launch. It went on sale on Nov. 12, 2025 at $599, and the $249 R1 ring launched with it. Our Even Realities guide has the specifications.
