My New FAVORITE Steam Deck Accessory?

[@cheater00]

one tip about the audio tests if you'd like. i'm an audio engineer. if you want to better represent the headphones, you should account for proximity effect. the tiny speakers are really close to our ears, which makes them sound better than if they were just standing somewhere in the room. this gives them a bass boost, acoustically. on the other hand, laying down the glasses on a table might make the table accept mechanical vibration from the glasses and change the sound to raise the mid frequencies. so what you want is to take off the foam off your mic, and take the glasses in your hand, and place the speaker outlet pointing towards the mic diaphragm, as close as possible, without touching the glasses to the mic. you don't want the glasses to be laying down on anything. happy reviewing!

[@cryobyte33]

That's amazing feedback, thank you! My mic actually has an internal wind screen as well so I'm not how that'd affect it, but I'll try to do this in the future! I'd considered 3cm away enough, accounting for the ear being in the way but it's clearly not the case 😅

[@cheater00]

@@cryobyte33 the closer the better :) i'd say match the sound to what you personally perceive, the speakers you're listening to your video on are going to "get in the way" and you need experience dealing with that...

[@acutelilmint8035]

Having these they are more trebly as expected with a lack of bass definition but they serve their purpose.. still would use headphones/earbuds.

[@bruhwhirl]

I am super glad about the sponsorship, you rock! I've seen the NReal before, it's a nice product.

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for watching, and for understanding the sponsorship! It definitely won't be affecting my reviews, so I'm excited to be able to give more technical details about things like this.

[@gabrielb238]

Found your channel this month. Boy this is the exact type of content I love. You have all the technical videos I've been looking for the deck, and proper reviews with effort put into it. This is better than 90% of other tech youtubers I've watched this year.

[@slangthetroubadour]

Omg these would be SO nice for air travel. One extra thing I’d put on the wish list is the ability to, if u had 2, to use both at the same time so 2 people could watch something together like during travel.

[@cryobyte33]

I agree, I plan to try them on my next flight or even train ride! I don't have another set to test, but theoretically you could with 2 adapters and an HDMI splitter. That'd be incredibly bulky, though 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@badsamaritan8223]

As someone who also wears glasses, It's nice to hear that it's an enjoyable experience both worn over glasses, and using the official glasses kit. Though I'd personally like something that would let me clip it onto the bill of a ball cap, so it doesn't touch my face at all.

[@WayneHeaney]

The XREAL Air driver has just been released in the Decky plugin store and adds actual head-tracking for all Steam Deck/Linux games. Check it out next time you try this combo.

[@XREAL_Global]

A very thorough and insightful review! We're so happy to hear that the XREAL Air x Steam Deck is a game changer 😎

[@Dracossaint]

The improvement is solid. The most informative video on this product yet! Hell yeah, I didn't know this thing came with different nose pieces. Also that's really cool ya managed to get the glasses add on! Hell of an option:) the overlays are a really solid idea to demonstrate the experience and even how blackout visors are still going to have a hair of light bleed(?). Well done!

[@cryobyte33]

Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad that you liked how thorough the content was! I tried to think of things that nobody else would have tested or needed to mention, so I'm glad it panned out 😁

[@Dracossaint]

One thing I can think of is overlaying images over something IRL, let's say you wanted to paint your room, but wasn't sure of the color . Bam let's see what blue looks like with the furniture. Maybe even nice if it can fill only one lens,as to compare and contrast between how colors are already and what that change would look like.

[@Dracossaint]

@@cryobyte33 happy to watch, it's a interesting product and ya nailed it on things people normally don't cover. I also have a similar arrangement with my glasses too, so that's super helpful

[@cryobyte33]

@@Dracossaint Interesting ideas, thank you! Both lenses act in tandem, but that'd be an interesting idea.

[@NOVARIS]

Fyi I’ve had these glasses a while, they are great. One thing most people will eventually experience is the glasses not working or appearing to have audio/visual artefacts, it’s worth mentioning that the USBC cable they have is often the part at fault and is very easy to replace so make sure you get a new cable if things seem to act up. The glasses are more robust

[@cryobyte33]

Oh interesting, I've been using these a few times a day for the past month and no connections have come lose or anything. I'll keep an eye out, thank you for letting me know!

[@rapmastac1362]

It would be cool if they sold a high quality coupling with the curve that you can plug another cable into, also have the affect of a breakaway cable.

[@joewell6435]

One very important issue to be aware of, is the video going black when the steam deck battery gets down to about 30%. Sometimes it'll happen sooner than 30% sometimes it'll take longer, it's not super consistent, and the only way around it is getting an adapter to charge while you play.

[@TheD0pefish]

I think it depends on the overall energy consumption and remaining battery power. In games like Elden Ring it went black for me after 50%, in less demanding games like Hollow Knight I never experienced that issue.

[@brandon_nope]

I’ve never had that happen during use

[@tobydz]

A Redditor linked to this review. As someone who fell into those "recommended" categories, I've had my XReal Air's for over a month now. Your review is *exactly* my experience with them... I'll further emphasize your point about getting the prescription lenses... they're absolutely must-have's. I also own the "sunsetted" Epson BT-300 AR glasses for commercial drone use, and although they are / were a full-featured piece of tech (and about 3X the price of the XReal's), I can count on one hand the number of times I've used them for anything outside of piloting. I absolutely love these Air's and I get just as excited to use them as I did when they first arrived a few months ago... Fantastic review too by the way. Subbed. Thanks!

[@garretts.2003]

Ive been wanting a pair of these since getting a deck. I think im gonna cave and buy a pair soon. Laying in a bed or recliner and gaming in full relaxation is the ultimate way to game.

[@BrianJones-wk8cx]

“I’ve got my XReals on … so I can so I can …” Sorry, that portion of my comment was sponsored by Corey Hart and my 80s childhood. But seriously, Kyle, brother, this is maybe one of the most thorough and considerate reviews of this product that I have ever seen, great work outta you! Really appreciated the simulated screens and audio test, though for the latter I wonder if you might include a reference audio sample of some sort so as to at least give an idea of performance relative to another device? Or maybe a couple devices? For example, sound off with your MacBook Pro. Then maybe the Deck speakers proper. Then the glasses. The audience then has some reference points to better surmise performance. Kudos on the sponsorship, love to see it! Keep on playing with alternate forms of content-you have a unique perspective and I think we’re all excited to see how you continue to refine your voice on this medium.

[@RedHorseAdventures]

Red magic dock adapter works perfect for charging and using these xreals simultaneously. I have them and enjoy them.

[@cryobyte33]

I just heard about these from another comment, thank you for letting me know, and thanks for watching!

[@NorthMetal]

This is my second video of your I have watched and loved it. I bought the backplate and the fan cooler from a later video. Thanks for all the hard work

[@Amaan_OW]

I got these and returned within 24 hours. The primary reason was comfort, I just didn’t find them comfortable for sessions over 30 minutes, the clamp was way too tight. Honestly I’m a skinny guy so I thought that wouldn’t be an issue but I suppose not. Then, motion sickness. I get motion sick in cars depending on the driver, but never in video games, but these glasses did give it to me unless I kept my head perfectly still. If they fix the comfort and allow you to fix the location of the screen in space, I might buy a newer model, but considering the price and those pitfalls, they were not for me.

[@gamers-generation]

Thanks for the review Cryobyte! I reviewed these glasses myself (unsponsored) months ago and plan a follow up. Some things worth noting for potential buyers. A few adapters I found to work include the "Redmagic Gaming Dock" (which have unfortunately increased in price, but can go down to $40 when sales hit on Newegg). Also a competitor (Rokid) does make an adapter with power passthrough, though I've not tested that adapter. Also, for anyone planning to use this with their phone or a desktop PC, the functionality of the apps are limited.

[@ParzivalWoW]

These are amazing to pair up with the Citra Emulator in the full Stereoscopic 3D mode. Takes a fair bit of tinkering but playing Zelda, ALBW, OOT3D, MM3D with the Project restoration mod or other 3D standout titles like Bravely Default, Mario 3D and Starfox 3D is insanely cool. Add in texture packs and bump up internal resolution and you have the Perfect 3D cinematic experiences on the go or anywhere - Feels Revolutionary!

[@ItsMeMattCarter]

These are more affordable and reasonably priced than the ones Ive seen on other channels.

[@o0julek0o]

For anyone curious, you can do this exact same thing with a Meta Quest 3, and a HDMI-to-USB C capture card. I do that and it's absolutely brilliant.

Glad you agree! They've been great when playing the Deck and have helped a lot with my neck and shoulder pain from sitting at a desk all day 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@1DJRikkiBee]

I use these with my deck when I have my contacts in as I haven't gotten my prescription on the inserts yet, but I mostly use them to watch videos on my phone while doing other things. The mobile app has a mode that converts the full screen into a smaller corner screen so, I can queue up a bunch of lovely videos like these and then leave my phone in my back pocket while I was dishes or clean around the house. Nice alternative to listening to an audiobook or a podcast.

[@jdgreen214]

I'm glad you discovered the XReal Air, which I've been using for quite a few months now and will say that this is hands down the BEST Steam Deck companion. Two adapters which will allow you to charge and play are the Viture charging adapter (made officially for the Viture glasses, a competitor of the XReal Air) and the Nubia Redmagic charging dock. You'll need it for sure if you start to use the XReal Air routinely with your Deck.

[@cryobyte33]

Correct, but I didn't think to mention it. That said, the battery life is still very similar since most of the battery drain is related to the passive power supplied and the brightness of the projection 🙂 3D is something I couldn't test since I couldn't hook it up to a phone for configuration 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@cryobyte33]

The glasses are necessary for seeing the screen as well, as it projects light evenly across the eye and will need to compensate for myopia. They've definitely been a worthwhile investment, but I can understand it being prohibitively expensive. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it!

fantastic video as usual! I tried the glasses months ago and returned them and prefer the Rokid Air AR Glasses.

I'd be curious to know if you have a better experience while using regular glasses as I am not aware of a prescription option. Using them on road trips is a game changer. just recline the passenger seat and the ceiling on your car makes it feel like a movie theater. Surprisingly I don't get motion sick in the car.

Secondly is there a way of having dual screen with steam deck screen as 1 and glasses as screen 2?

[@cryobyte33]

Thanks for watching! 1. You can't use these with a typical dock with the included accessories, but if you get the adapter I mention in the video (or apparently the Red Magic Dock Adapter), you can use the HDMI output from the dock to the glasses and it'll work perfectly as you describe. 2. Yup! I used the glasses as my primary screen and my Macbook as my secondary screen for email and Discord 🙂

[@Danjor225]

Thank you so much for your response! So just so I understand the use of the adaptor - I would plug the glasses into the nreal adaptor you mentioned via usb c then run hdmi out of the adaptor into dock and then deck plugged into dock as normal along with other peripherals and everything should work and deck should charge?

[@cryobyte33]

Definitely possible! I've been using them daily for a month and they've been great, but it's certainly a luxury product. I find them great for relieving neck and shoulder pain, so they've been more of a therapeutic miracle than I thought they'd be 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@fapman4878]

I disagree. These are portable (unlike a TV) which is really important for me because I move often, sometimes to places where you don't have a place to put a TV. Also, they sound great for games where a bigger screen greatly improves the experience (RDR2). Just the comfort of being able to lay in bed and have a floating TV above you, while resting the Deck (controller) in your lap sounds like a god-send for neck & hand comfort. These would be worth every dollar to me.

I'd be interested but for that price I'd buy a second steam deck.

Nice summarization CrytoByte33. When looking through the AR glasses, is the virtual screen stationary like PS VR2 or does it move around with your head? Hopefully we'd have access to both options when using the AR glasses as there are time when I'd prefer the virtual screen to be stationary or move with my head.

have you tried the 120hz BETA firmware update they released it works flawlessly with the deck. I've been playing diablo 4 on my 7900xtx straight from the usb c port.

I would love to have a laptop designed for these glasses, where the screen could be removed and you could just type on a keyboard connected directly to the glasses. this could probably be arranged or hacked into being, but that doesn't sit right with me.

There was something similar to what you're describing announced recently, but the name escapes me. Regardless, I like the fact that I can use these as my primary screen and have the actual screen act as a "second screen" since I can see through the projection 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@JessicaFEREM]

​@@cryobyte33 oh yeah I also forgot about 2 in 1s if they didn't disable the keyboard when you are in tablet mode

I've been thinking about saving up for this but wasn't sure if I should since I need glasses to actually see. So, how would I go about getting the glasses?

[@Ermac97]

Hello! I am having problems with these glasses. No matter what, my games are capped at 30 FPS which basically renders any AAA games unplayable. Has anyone figured out a way around this?

[@KydDynoMyte_]

Do the glasses have a 3d mode that would work while using a 3d injector on the steamdeck?

[@ecoterrorist1402]

i found 720p setting on High best results with elden ring,

[@cryobyte33]

I have a Deck Dive on it, but I was just using it here to show a game which taxes the Deck highly, without performance in mind 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@bodabodaguy3193]

I usually take my glasses off when playing my deck cuz my glasses make games look smaller a little, i was wondering if this is safe? Should i be wearing my glasses when using my deck?

[@MrShafdaddy]

What's the handgrip/case you are using for your deck?

[@PaulDominguez]

They are great for the Steam with a red adapter. The PC beta finally makes it useful for something other than gaming especially since I lost my man cave to my mother-in-law 😂

[@olivierdigne8989]

when you turn your head or even when you move your head, does the screen remain stable in front while floating? the rgb rate?

[@catchkach]

I got a pair of these after watching this video but Ive noticed the display turns itself off around 60% battery on the Steam Deck when playing games. Have you run into this issue?
