Discover the winner: Rokid Max vs XREAL Air AR Glasses battle (Part 1)

My friend Juan Bagnell and I have created a video where we compare the ROKID Max with the XREAL Air AR Glasses to determine the better option.
For the initial phase of this comparison, we will examine the ROKID Max and the Xreal Air Galases. In the subsequent part, Juan and I will delve into the brains behind these glasses - the Rokid Station and the Xreal Beam.
Part 2 of the challenge is here over at @SomeGadgetGuy • Rokid Station vs XREAL...

Can you add an update comparing the Xreal Air 2 Pro vs the Rokid Max?

[@allenwan4400]

Great video and thank you both for the in-depth details on these. I have the Nreal (XREAL) Airs and tried the Rokid Max and will say as someone who has astigmatism the rokid max actually were a lot harder to use for me and really showed how personal AR glasses really should be since getting prescriptions for either can be done but is a charge you might not be aware of when looking into them. I've thankfully been able to use my Airs for hours on end with a RedMagic Gaming Dock Adapter to keep my device charged and still use the airs but took some digging and educating myself on what does the term like does this hub support Alt-DP as an example. I would love to see more support for these glasses in terms of having those brains already built into them for 3DoF support by itself natively or even active shading of the glasses aspect so you can click a button to show what's around you and then press it again to be the full light blocker shades built into since I have at times wanted to fully just block out the front but it being part of the carry case to take on and off at times can get in the way especially when moving around like in an airport, train or bus scenario.

[@meadmaker4525]

The XREAL Air 2s with the Beam to allow freedom of movement without the screen following you around is pretty cool. I also don't mind the looks of them. Being near-sighted and always wearing glasses, I'm put off the XREALs due to the fact I'd have to spend more money for the prescription lens attachment. Nice that they include the option, but still. The diopters on the Rokid Max kind of win it for me between the two. If I can adjust the diopters to make it work for me, even if it requires a small adjustment each time, I'm there. It's the easiest, most user-friendly option between the two. I've seen some people say interpupillary distance (IPD) matters between the two glasses as well, but I have yet to hear anyone address this and, unfortunately, I can't go to a local store somewhere and try them to find out for myself. Really appreciate this in-depth review. If I get a pair of AR glasses, I'll likely go with the Rokid Max for the diopter adjustment.

[@nmatheis]

Love, love, love it when two of the best and (for me anyways) most trusted reviewers in the tech space team up. These look like such interesting products. Heading over to Juan's channel to watch part two...

[@UGEplex]

The Xreal's also activate 120Hz with the push of a button. The Rokid might be slightly easier but it's still just pushing a button on the glasses. No 3rd party software needed.

[@ArifArslan786222]

How about Viture One Xr vs Xreal?

[@CowboyUp1991100]

Hey these ar glasses look awesome I am wondering if you both will be reviewing the viture one glasses. If you guys do would you do another video like this for them?

[@afterthesmoke]

...yeah a spreadsheet. That's definitely what I'll be using these for.

[@DJOetken]

Question.. can you wear either 'off' like just have them on with nothing going on, and still be able to see? Do you have to take them off to be mobile or just keep on keeping on ?

[@sage_trollanes]

Hello I'm interested in buying one to work. I'll need multi screens, is that something posible with any of this two glasses? I mean like generating multi-screens inside the lens.

[@zombos22222]

the rokid station is a very useful accesoire and seems like a great solution for the phone problem, i got the chinese version (globla version on its way too) with bigger NES like buttons and was glad to find the language button for english and chinese. Even 3D works on the rokid max, many devices telling about 3d features but it was the first time here to see its working on rokid max. seems also more family friendly with dipter adjustment, so not everyone needs to order extra lenses for family friends enemies and so on. the glasses become warmth on forehead which is less good, dont know if the nreal air does similar warmth production

[@lukas7417]

Tip for the next video: write a script for each person so that you don't have to interrupt each other all the time! The one on the left is particularly annoying.

[@londenard]

Yup!

[@michaelb4512]

I watched part 2 before before part 1 but i am near sighted so with the rokid max can you browse the internet and watch videos and not rely on there apps?Thankyou!

[@rushmore3927]

Which has the best visual quality? FOV is more on the Rokin Max? Does this make watching movies better?

[@pou5938]

Here is my simplified guide how to choose: - You will use it while laying down: Rokid Max - You will use it while moving: Xreal Air with Xreal Beam - You have 70+ IPD: Xreal Air Yes its really that simple Rokid is a bit better for those who wants to use it while standing still in comfortable positions for relax because of its better specs. (unless you have 70+ IPD) Xreal is a must if you plan to try to use in positions that will make you move your head, like playing more intense games that make you move your head or to use as secondary monitor, watch movies on a treadmill, walking with google maps or any task that will make you move your head. you will need xreal beam

[@serhiiway]

I have Xreal Air and it's hard to read text, it's blurry and hard to read. Is it the same with Rokid Max?

[@pou5938]

@@serhiiway it depends on what is your issue. If you have more 70 or more IPD then the Rokid Max will be even more blurry. What is your IPD? If you close one eye and keep adjusting the angle does it still blurry? If yes then you may have some fog inside the lens. I had this problem after cleaning with some water. I fixed it leting it sometime in the sun. (not uside down to avoid sun direct on the projector lens). The advantage on rokid max clarity is no ghost reflex, and no lights outside the screen.

[@IndianaRoy]

That anecdote about folding the glasses and putting them on the shirt sounds great. If the glasses don't give you headaches while standing on a subway train it could be a great use case

[@TKBay]

both would do well as long as you are standing still and watching content

[@IndianaRoy]

@@TKBay thanks, I'll keep it in mind

[@michaelchan6681]

If I watch my cell phone too long, my eyes gets blurry and this gets worst with the time of the day. Will these also cause blurry vision if I use it on a prolonged basis?

[@vickert]

Thanks a lot for the interesting story. Tell me, what do you think is better Rokit Max or NReal Air or XReal Light?

[@ehoenig]

hey guys, thank you very much for all these infos.

[@Chemy.]

It is interesting how deep each of you tested both devices in a short time and came basically to the same conclusion

[@TKBay]

The really nice thing about being able to test multiple generations of devices is how comfortable we are with the new generation and how much we appreciate the improvements

[@zeitgeist888]

I am looking for Ar glasses that work with Pixle 7 phone and have a display that can be be less view filling and set to the side or higher or lower than normal line of sight. Using them for GPS and walking directions, language translation, making and recieving calls and texts. Beyond that anything else is a bonus.

[@myRmb-vc4zh]

Gaming Console questions: I want to play using XBOX Series X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. I worried about connectivity compatibility, and also if connectivity is compatible then is the image displayed usable for gaming? I have read mixed reviews and comments throughout the internet with some saying yes it's great if you set it up correctly, and some saying no it won't connect, or it will connect but the edges are too blurry to game in a quality way. Is a quality and visually functional experience possible with either of these glasses when gaming on the consoles I listed? Please help, thanks

[@richardduerr9983]

If you are nearsighted, as I am, you will need to make an appointment with a doctor and get a prescription for the XReals, it will cost you about $200 plus your time for that. My eyesight is -150 and -300, easisly covered by Rokid's -600 for each eye. The warm spot above the bridge of my nose is annoying, but only on the warmest of days/conditions. Also, not mentioned in this video, is the entire weight of the glasses (which are only slightly heavier than normal glasses) are all on those little tiny nose pads. They need to spread the weight over more nose space. I have my own fix for that, but it is not pretty.

[@Febpearlslibya]

using Xreal glasses n conjunction with side-vew of Xbeam is a real now while driving a car , as HUD option.

[@Veiljustin83]

Can you do a comparison with Viture Pro as well?

[@imohbalu]

Hi can we open web browser and download movies.. Also can I watch movies I downloaded in my flash drive type A and attached it to this VR glass device and watch my download movies on the go ?

[@panamouse6178]

Loved your review....I am having my shoulder operated on and will be bed ridden for a few days. I'm thinking on the ROKID as my movie screen. But watching your through comparison of both glasses, a thought occurred to me. Can you wear the ROKID as a heads up display when you fly a drone, given the USB C connection ? Heard anyone say so ?

[@bilbs87]

Yes you can use it with the DJI RC2

[@josir1994]

Does any of them have cylindrical eyesight correction or I have to use contact lens with them?

[@TKBay]

neither have that listed, but the diopters allow some corrections on the Rokid, the best solution would be the inserts witht he Xreal to match your prescription exactly

[@Klaatu_]

Although I wear glasses currently I find the text a little small and harder to read on my travel work PC laptop, a 15 inch, when compared to my home desktop computer using a 32 inch monitor. Will either the Rokid Max or Xreal make text from 15 inch laptop easier to read?"

[@douglarsen4801]

I mean it’s a larger screen but with that comes some compromises. Depending on your eyesight, it may or may not. Diopters are the one thing I wish Inhad in my airs

[@RightWithGodMinistries]

What you guys think aboth the vituro?

[@RedFloshken]

Any thoughts on blurred edges? On psvr2 in cinematic mode text on game huds is almost unreadable because of chromatic aberration

[@serhiiway]

Which glasses? I have very blurred edges on Xreal Air and can't read text.

[@RedFloshken]

@@serhiiway I can confirm blurred edges for the PSVR 2, that was just an example. I haven’t seen the video creator mentioning this either on Rokid or Xreal glasses so I was wondering. Sorry to hear from you that the Xreals have this, and thank you for posting. I believe we are still years away from this being addressed.

[@Sid-fi1mc]

I felt like the guy in the cap kept interrupting tk rudely.

[@londenard]

Yea that guy is a jackass... Hahaha!

[@rahsomali]

😂 true

[@RobertoHernandez-to9pz]

Noticed that too.😂

[@Teisha2112]

Me too

[@acidangel111]

I felt like tk should have just shut his mouth and let the guy in the cap talk

[@sadeghbairami.m1887]

Thank you for the great video, I like Xreal

[@andremeulendijk7872]

Can i buy this in Europe??

[@konjecture]

The dude on the left is very energetic, but always cuts off the other guy. Very disrespectful. Talks way too much. I’ve seen in the other Beam vs Romie video too.

[@busterhoodstar6598]

Go somewhere and cry. You sound like a petty female. Guys interrupt each other all the time.

[@londenard]

Yup! That's how I saw it as well.

[@skids62]

Since Rokid is readily available in Canada and Xreal isn't it's an easy call for me.

[@_inSight__]

I wish they would make a beanie instead of glasses. The display works fine but everyone has different sized heads, and my head is always slightly too small for commercial use. The nreal fit but they press too tight behind my ears. Weirdly enough, I get the most heat on the left arm that connects to the usb-c, so I'm not sure if I have a different model or if there's something wrong with mine. A hat would be nice because you could flip the lens down when you want, and it would always fit with elastic between the electronics.

[@PrettyLittle_Piss]

Very informal, but i still can't decide, I hate how i can't try a demo. I'm near sighted and mainly want to use them to watch movies, less interested in the AR and more interested in the display. Which is best for that. Rokid? Also not the most tech savy.. Thank you! P.s are there any glasses that don't have the screen move around with your head?

[@noahhowellstone1264]

Rokid will be perfect for you

[@rushmore3927]

What is the difference with Nreal and Xreal Air? The Xreal says Nreal on the arms. Added: They have rebranded. Same glasses.

[@CrunchyTire]

Thats nreal

[@AdityaAnil]

Fun tech , a couple of amazing tech buddies and a collaboration that's been long overdue ! I am excited ! #TKOurBae #TKTechBay

[@TKBay]

Thank you so much man definitely a lot of fun and we wanted to surprise you guys with a nice collaboration again

[@MrCarstennielsen]

Xreal o Rhocid etter or ni god at All for wordprocessing?

[@londenard]

Interesting TK...

[@aegis062]

how come no one gives a review on the multiple screen function or it is even possible.

[@serhiiway]

I don't get it too... Feels like all reviews are paid or AI generated

[@ZkReAr-fs5do]

What about the viture xr

[@OrinSigus]

for me me Rokid's selling point is the built-in diopter adjuster

[@mantapdjiwa9768]

I returned my rokid, the diopter function doesnt cover all part of the screen , only center, right one have far right screen blur, left one have far left screen blur, and both screen of the opposite has slight blur on the lower edge, so impossible to use for gaming (UI)

[@serhiiway]

same on Xreal

[@ChinmayH]

One thing that no one is taking about is how does the dual display feature actually work. Meta quest has this but does it stream locally or via the Facebook servers ? These are wired and secured. If you are using these to edit videos or on personal laptop, it does not matter. But if working on an office laptop where data confidentiality is a concern the wired one is the only way to go. Let me know your thoughts

[@farishanafiah8461]

In terms of aesthetics, I think the Rokid wins me. The Xreal looks too big, kinda like 1970's pop star glasses. Also, it's hard to resist the Rokid's diopters. As a near-sighted person, I like the ability to change the vision without the need to change the entire glass lens. That's a win for me.

[@TKBay]

I like them as well

[@busterhoodstar6598]

Rokid glasses are hideous. Smh

[@dron2147]

I wish they attached ear plugs einsted of those tiny litte speakers on the side. 2:09

[@AdamCooperman]

Why aren't you showing the arms adjustment while talking about it? I have no idea what you were talking about for that bit.

[@AdamCooperman]

Also, I've weirdly heard other people say the Rokid is more comfortable for big heads. You're the first to flip that opinion...

[@jdogg0284]

Yes! I have a big head and them showing how the adjustments work would have been nice!

[@BrianGlaze]

In near sighted so this video might have me lean more Rokid

[@TKBay]

for the on the go and no inserts needed then yea that makes sense

[@uDubRiceBoy]

Motion sickness?

[@sportbikeguy9875]

It's not just USB-C, it's USB-C DP alt mode. Not many devices actually support this. Let's get a mini HDMI option, or a regular usb-C option so we can walk around with battery powered raspberry Pi's in our pockets...... Yes I'm serious lol

[@onenote6619]

Do they record? Welcome to Glasshole version 2. Still legal / privacy/ creepy problems.

[@sheLuvsManny]

No they are simply display

[@russstinehour3858]

I am legally blind. I do not have vision in my left ere and have lost 90% of my vision in my right eye. I would like to connect one of these devices to my laptop. I will use assistive technology on the laptop, use 4X magnification and have the focus follow the mouse pointer. (1) How do these devices work for someone with one eye? (2) How would these devices work with PC magnificaiton? There are 2 million people looking for a low vision solution. Any thoughts? Thank you.

[@serhiiway]

I closed my eye with Xreal and it was okay it use it like that. BUT, all those glasses are not great, the reviewers don't say that image quality is far from good. So beware about that, it's a good solution but it's really in the early stage.

[@yostevedotcom]

Do any have image stabilization like if you're walking around or if you're riding in a car?

[@whitenuttergoku7310]

Show us the damn software

[@MRSTEEL15]

#1--ROKID MAX

[@redherring5532]

Both ended being returned, super dissapointing. Augmented reality is NOT there for these. Theyre cute blurry on the edges screen to watch tv or play video games. Productivity = 0

[@mylesdavid5710]

Dude you have to let the other guy talk… it’s really off putting to watch

[@justhebigidea]

Hard to watch. Felt like you guys are competing.

[@Dan_Vice]

Rokid max looks so weird. Looks like you're wearing a sunglasses in the middle of your forehead.

[@TiVo2Go]

*To me Rokid is better and has a better adapter but....* *Whoever designed the glasses should be fired.* *First they make you look like Geordi Laforge from Star Trek.* *I gues they realized this and created too many so they designed the cover to look like normal shades and the fact that they havent redesigned the glasses to match shows they know they made a poop.* *Then they released with the colors red and gray.* *I am not in the field or in marketing but who goes out and buys a red tv a yellow media player and a pink tv stand.* *All tech when released should be black and then the other colors are secondary.*

[@busterhoodstar6598]

Yes. The Rokid design isn't very good compared to the Xreal Air glasses.

[@DaN-pn5ye]

SU TITULO DICE XREAL Y TIENE LOS NREAL? HAHAHAH FRAUDE

[@DaN-pn5ye]

SOLO REPITEN LOS VIDEOS QUE ESTAFADORES

[@busterhoodstar6598]

In terms of audio, I use my Bluetooth earbuds instead of the built-in speakers of the glasses. Especially during gaming or watching content.

[@TheBigb1973]

Are any of these glasses worth it if you have a quest 2 or 3?

[@TKBay]

I would say yes as they are smaller and last longer. on a plane or on a train the Quest will be bulky by comparison. but if you have a Quest 2/3 already I would say it's hard to recommend buying another device that does what you already have a device for it

[@TheBigb1973]

@TKBay is it bothersome that the rokid screen moves with you vs. having a static image stuck in place?
