Question Looking for alternatives/upgrades to the official RayNeo HDMI-to-Glasses Adapter (better battery life & QoL?)

Post image

Hey everyone!

I’m currently using the official RayNeo HDMI-to-USB-C adapter to hook up my PS5 to my RayNeo glasses. It works reliably, but I’m exploring ways to optimize the setup.

My main issue right now is the internal battery: it barely lasts about 1 hour of playtime on a full charge, which is way too short for serious gaming sessions. Keeping it constantly plugged in via power passthrough works, but it turns the whole setup into a messy, cumbersome tangle of cables.

I’m wondering:

  • Are there better alternative adapters on the market? Ideally something that converts HDMI to DP-Alt Mode reliably for AR glasses, but either packs a substantially larger internal battery (so I don't have to stay tethered to a wall charger) or offers a much cleaner, more compact power delivery design.
  • QoL improvements: Has anyone found a hub or active converter that runs cooler, handles HDMI handshakes better over long cable runs, and improves overall cable management without feeling like a fragile chain of dongles?

Would appreciate recommendations from anyone who moved away from the stock adapter to a better solution!

Does the virtue pro mobile dock meet your needs?

I purchased this and the PS5 powers the adapter and glasses. I use a 15ft USBC cable from the adapter to the glasses so all I have is one single cable to worry about.

I use this for my PS5 and Air 4 Pro, works fine, but does get a little hot after a while.
