I REALLY wanted to like these... XReal Air 2 Pro AR Glasses Review

[@XREAL_Global]

Hey Spencer! Let's first start with a thank you: thank you for not only your review, but for sharing your honest, thorough feedback. It's important for companies, from start ups like us to industry titans, to take in as much feedback as possible to make what they do even better. We just wanted to take a moment to clarify some points in your review. Starting with blurry edges: our team poured a lot of time and effort behind the scenes into figuring out why a subset of our user base were having continuous issues despite adjusting their glasses and swapping out the nose pads. It all came down to variation in IPD. It's something our team is acutely aware of and were working on it. There may have been miscommunication in regard to Beam and it's current status. Beam is not being discontinued as it provides a lot of value to gamers and console users, plus developers, however we will shift more development and marketing resources to its successor once it reaches market. We appreciate you for highlighting the areas that need improvement while also shouting out the aspects that you enjoyed. We hope to earn your thumbs up in the future - there are a lot of exciting next gen things in the works (with some coming quite soon!).

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thank you for clearing these concerns up. I'll keep this comment pinned so others can see your response! Thanks, XREAL!

Hi Spencer I've now seen the XREAL BEAM PRO it about size and form of a mobile phone with a screen xreal say there going to be a 5g lte version . ANY CHANCE OF A REVIEW ?

[@SpencerScottPugh]

@mbk1251 not entirely sure but I do have a call with the PR director in the coming weeks and I might get more insight into the new beam. We shall see. Would love to review any of their new products!

[@gamesandstuff4762]

In case no one knows what "IPD" is (like me), I looked it up: "IPD stands for Inter Pupillary Distance, or simply put, the distance between your pupils. "

[@Strictly4Defense]

I have the Xreal Air 2 pro. I've tried the Rayneo X2 and the latest Viture XR PRO. All of them have 1080 p with 120hz refresh rate. All three of them can project the screen in front of you without any additional accessories. And of all three AR glasses; the Xreal felt more comfortable to wear even when laying down sideways and the size of the Xreal didn't look weird when I wear them while you're out and about in the public and they pass as regular sunglasses (depending on the angle that others are looking at you from). Unlike the Viture XR PRO the weirdness factor is at the top of my chart. They're ok for small heads (because they feel like kids glasses when they're on my head) and the temples were uncomfortable for me when wearing them, the only Pros they got from me in myoptic adjustments built in, increased brightness, and a magnetic connection usb c cable. Without my prescription glasses there's Zero (#0) Blur in my experience. Rayneos did everything Xreal can do except it was brighter, but the comfort level and the sound quality was less than of the Xreal. And as far as sound quality; I rate the Xreal better than Rayneo X2 and Virtue XR PRO. While the Virtue XR PRO sounded slightly better than Xreal Air 2 Pro, but they were still too tiny for a real open ear experience. If was sitting close to a fan or my AC came on that sound from the Viture was drowned compared to Rayneo X2 and Xreal in my experience. I am having the Viture volume maxed out while on the Xreal.. the volume is at 70% and doesnt get drowned when the nearby fan or AC comes on. I agree with most people on the beam; they suck. but if you haven't already tried it. Go give it a shot. Even if you already bought one, I wouldn't hold high hopes for it either. If you can't anywhere to buy it from; did you try Amazon? I understand why you couldn't purchase the xbeam from Xreal because the last time I checked they're coming out with a new "X Beam 2 or Pro". So, I'd stay tuned for that info and in the meantime, I'm keeping my Xreal glasses, and I've already returned the xbeam. I'm going to say the reason why most are seeing blurry edges is because your frames have to be positioned perfectly for your eyes to see the whole picture including edges. Try different nose pads because all of them are malleable and when it fits just right, they're not blurry to me. I have prescription glasses on my xreal and they're perfect. before I purchased the prescription, I tested with the smallest pair of prescription glasses with thin temples that I had and wore the Xreal Air 2 pro over it and that's when I knew the edges are no longer blurry. So please to everyone who complains about blurriness get your eyes checked by an optometrist, if not then go buy yourself the Viture or Rokid they have myoptic adjustments built in that fits most people including prescription wearers. I cannot fully speak on Rokids as I've never wore them. But I hope this helps.

[@ifherbowasntg548]

You’re the first person I’ve seen hang the viture xr pro and xreal pro. I see for the most part you recommend the xreal. For someone mainly gaming and wants the highest picture quality, which one would you recommend?

[@Strictly4Defense]

@@ifherbowasntg548 Keep in mind all three brands glasses incorporate Sony’s panel so the display specs are far too similar to notice any difference on all three. I could probably say the Viture display looked smaller compared to Xreal air 2 pro and Rayneos X2 because the Rayneos advertised 220 inches the Xreal 330 in and the Viture 139 in can see why many complain about the edges being blurry screen is too big. That problem is solved with the Viture (with a caveat -you lose some screen real estate of course). if you want to game on it specifically for that purpose and without interruptions then I’ll probably go with the Viture because they don’t have proximity sensors in front of the glasses like Xreals and Rayneos do. This is not to bash the sensors they’re great idea if you take your glasses off during playback they’ll automatically turn off the panels or pause the video for you. The Viture don’t have that (although I wish it did) if you fall asleep while leaving your game or have a still/non moving picture I’ll worry more about screen burn ins when you wake up in the morning. So always make sure you set your display timeout settings short at the video source so that you risk less chance of that happening. The Viture also have the myoptic adjustments dials built in so you can make it personal to your liking. For most people like myself who wear prescription glasses everyday; wearing the Viture glasses didn’t require the prescriptions to use them and I kind of like that. Thanks to the myoptic adjustments; there’s zero blur and it’s also a contributing factor to making the panels crisp and clear in the AR space. I also find the Viture even more portable than the Xreal and easy to set up (thanks to the magnetic usb c cable) if I’m not using it and wear them above the brim of my hat no wires attached. But when I’m ready to go back into the AR space I simply slap the cable on and put them on my face. Otherwise any of the AR glasses will do. Rayneo X2 tend to be a budget friendly so if you’re not trying to hurt your wallet this option should be your first choice. The Xreal is the most expensive option. I got the Viture XR Pro with 10% off discount with my total coming down at $413.00 shipped using this coupon code LXZ-BO6JHXM.

[@SamuelObafemi]

Fantastic comment!!!! Appreciate the effort

[@abaj006]

The reason why its blurry around the corners is because the distance between the displays is not adjustable. The distance between the eyes is different for everyone. That is why some people love these and some don't. I just can't understand why the manufacturers don't make this adjustable. The Apple Vision has an automatic adjustment for this distance, but that is overkill and expensive. We just need a manual adjustment, that will fix the blurry text issues around the corners.

[@bluetech2809]

As far as my googling goes, Viture (and maybe Rokid) have built-in manual IPD adjustment, and they cost roughly the same as the XREALs.

[@codeblue1912]

Hey Spencer, I just came across your video, and I want to thank you for your honest review of these glasses. I have to agree that I enjoy the Xreal Air more than the Air 2 and Pro models. You're absolutely right about the issue with the edges-I thought it was just me experiencing that issue, so it's reassuring to hear you mention it too. I also noticed that the inner lens of the Xreal Air is wider, which eliminates that problem. I’m curious as to why this feature was reduced in the newer models. Perhaps it was done to achieve a lighter weight, but it seems to have created a significant issue instead.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

I think you nailed it! Yeah man idk 🤷🏼‍♂️ we’ll see what they do with future versions!

[@joshuamaserow]

Yes, I love the concept * USB-c monitor * 1080p 120Hz oled * perscription lenses * Discreet appearance (look like normal sunglasses) But the blurry text in the corners is a deal breaker. It does seem strange that they've made the display such a tiny fraction of the lenses. What would be amazing, obviously a big ask though, is 4k full size displays. So you can actually move your eyes to see different parts of the screen. My interest in them would be the ability to write code on the go.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Awesome use case… just not quite there yet. Trying to do any sort of work reading small text was a headache.

[@nathandinh6971]

Have you tried adjusting the frames so that the image is more in view with you eyes. The whole lens part can be adjusted up and down which really helps with a better image.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

I’ve tried everything at this point lol

[@Rhomagus]

Also, I modded mine. I don't need any of the nose pads. I just purchased some third party pads and glued them directly on the nose bridge. This doesn't work for all face types but it worked for me. I didn't notice any blur, but after the mod I got a slight increase in FoV due to my iris being closer to the image.

Thanks for an honest review! 👍 I emailed Xreal and asked them where it is possible to test a pair of air 2 pro, because I live in Europe (Stockholm Sweden) and there is no dealer here. I got the answer: "if you have the roads past London, Paris or Berlin, you can try them there!" It was a serious answer.. In addition, they cost about $135 more from xreal europe than xreal usa.

[@igortodorovic6463]

Love the honesty of this video. It speaks facts 100%. I received the same experience with the Rayneo Air 2 glasses I just got delivered. These don't have the anchored screen option and only have the fixed to eyes screen option, and especially for gaming, they make me very nauseous, unfortunately. I'm almost certain anyone else would have the exact same experience. With my rayneo air 2s I love how they're just plug in and go powered threw the device which was a big selling point also. It's just the lack of anchored monitor function I'm bummed about because I didn't realize how nauseous they'd make me workout if. Huge screen though and I live it. Watching videos or movies should be fairly fine for people interested in purchasing these but you still might feel slight nausea. The tech for all brands is steadily getting there unfortunately just not there yet.

[@samkwak5722]

I didn't buy the Xreal glasses but I bought the Viture Pro XR. I have to say it had the EXACT same problem. The corners were blurry and it was impossible to do work with them. I bought it to have a "virtual office" on long plane rides. But yea, the blurry corners are no go and I was looking at your review to see if Xreal was different.

[@ruddyteck]

I have not tried the product yet, but based on your video when you unboxed it, there is adjustment to be done, every face is different, but seems to me that the issue or one of the issue you had was that the glasses were not properly adjusted and that is why you could see some reflections, wearing the glasses at a different angle might make a difference.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

For sure I think they can be adjusted some… but if you tried them you’d get what I mean with a lot of my points. Kinda hard to articulate such a personal experience. One of those things you gotta try for yourself for sure!

[@bluetech2809]

You're right that once they can make it so that the mini OLED monitor whatever covers the entire glass section on both sides, the FOV will increase significantly. It must be technical/cost limitations because we can see that competitors like Rokid and Viture are using essentially the same technology. I guess the other issue is that even if such technology becomes available, it needs to be light enough that the form factor/comfort/wearability isn't impacted too much. Logically, it would make the eyeglass part of the package heavier so you'd have to add weight to the rear of the frame to counterbalance that.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Correct! They’re all working with what current tech is available! Destined to improve over time.

[@Food4thought1234]

I have the same issue with blurred vision. The issue is everyone faces are obviously different, but I don’t think they took into account how many people faces aren’t even. You may not notice but on eye may not be level with the other. You will need to pull one of the eye pieces really far. So basically you will make it adjust to your uneven face. Then you you can use the ear part to level it better. But even doing that. There will be so much pressure on the nose that you can’t wear it long periods comfortably. What they needed to do with this upgrade was make the lenses larger. This would help with uneven faces and the millions of different face shapes. Yeah it would cost a bit more. But if the glasses aren’t comfortable or it’s blurry what’s the point. But yeah. If you do that you can actually get a crystal clear view. But again. You won’t wear it for long.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Nice I’ll try that

[@sassdfasdgasfgadfg]

I love mine, but this is in fact a niche product for niche use-cases for a niche consumer. It's definitely not a take down of a VR device. Fully agree with you on the blurred edges, but I've found that this is solved by pushing the nose piece to mould around your nose rather than just sit on it like regular sunglasses. They don't do a great job of onboarding you to the device either... As someone who takes frequent longhaul flights it's the perfect device, and there's almost no need for the beam when you have a phone with usb-c.... Ultimately it's a beta product that will lay the groundwork for the next wave of mass consumer tech, but for now it's purely for those that enjoy being ahead of the curve when it comes to tech capabilities and products, as well as a great device for people that travel a lot and work on the move.

[@grzegorz__]

I have Xreal Air (1) and honestly i think that all of these glasses are really useful for 1-2 scenarios: - playing computer games - watching movies I use glasses with Odin 2 / Ayaneo Geek 1S handhelds and for this usecase, it's actually great. I can be in bed, in the evening, my head, neck are resting and I can play computer games. To be fair, I would play strategy games, with tons of text, especially around the edges - like you said, with version 1, the screen is blurry around the corners. It's hmm frustrating a bit. Why ? Because if you move the glasses, it changes a bit, so you think that maybe if you position your glasses differnetly , put them on the nose loose, or tight that it'll fix - but nope ;) I wonder, some Viture model has correction, so there's no blurry edges (At least that's what i heard) ps. good, honest review. if I would buy it for productivity, my laptop or smartphone, I would say that this overall piece of tech is just not good enough. But if you want to watch Netflix, or play on Steam Deck then yea, it's not that bad. I mean at least Xreal Air - sometimes you can buy used one (almost new) rather cheap because well, a lot of people don't use them ;) Xreal Air 2 Pro - hmm it's just too expensive for gaming / movie device. It's a shame, i expected that they somehow fixed blurry edges.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks for sharing this! I think it’s spot on

[@DiveSquadusa]

I’ve owned both XReal 2 and Rokid Max, and unfortunately had to return the XReal’s. The experience was not what I expected. I travel by air every week and found the XReal’s very uncomfortable and unpleasant to watch movies for a long period. I found the Rokid Max a much better experience. I can take a 6hr flight using the Rokid’s with no problem. Plus the screen on the Rokid Max is bigger.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

They aren’t blurry. They are blurry for some people who have different vision than you. Regardless if an eye doctor says 20:20 it’s just not how eyes work. Try for yourself and if you don’t like, return them.

[@Katsuyamaki]

You mentioned only the left bottom was blurry. Have you tried to adjust the nose piece? Try to move both the legs of the nose to the left slightly so the left lens is more in view. Or you can move both legs outward (wider) so your entire face sits closer to the lenses.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

😅😅😅 just tryina be honest!

[@mthusiastmedia9782]

Interesting take but absolutely correct or somewhat false depending on a persons expectation. If you try these, or any of the AR glasses out there, expecting an Apple Vision like experience, you're not going to find it. If you try these expecting a passive screen in your face, then it's not bad. I've had the original Airs and Beam since they came out and with low expectations, I'm content with them. With my head size and PD, I guess I'm lucky with fitment and viewing angles. I just ordered the Air 2 Pros (thus how I ended up on this video) so I wonder if I'll get the blurry edges but I didn't notice them with the old pair until I checked after watching this video. I'll dig deeper into that. As for usage and expectations. I travel a lot so I use them to work and watch movies on planes or throw up some extra monitors while away from my home office. Using the Nebula app on Mac is ok. It's one of those things you don't think about until you have to be critical of a product (like making a review). The field of view isn't natural so if you are using a triple monitor setup in Nebula, you wont have full peripheral view of the outer 2 screens while you stare at the center screen but is that a realistic expectation. You can adjust the field of view with the app to get just about all 3 screens in your FOV but then they are tiny. You can also adjust screen size by changing the virtual distance of the screen. Playing with distance and FOV I found a happy medium. In the end, Im doing the same thing I do with a physical triple monitor setup. Turning my head/body to see what's on one screen at a time. NOW I notice some edge blur or more like a ghosting. If I look at the corners of my desktop (with and without using the Nebula app) the icons in my dock or the date and time in the top right corner do appear to be "glowing". Best way to describe it. Never bothered me until today lol but now I cant unsee it. I think I have an average PD so nothing is cut off or illegible around the edges but on the very edge, things aren't super crisp. It's also worth mentioning that I wear prescription lenses and I'm using these glasses without the prescription inserts. The image through the Airs is much more legible without my prescription vs staring at my computer without my glasses on. I also have not cleaned them since I got them so that could be part of my issue. On to the Beam. Pretty limited but handy. If I just want to watch Netflix or Prime Video on a flight, it's cool. I don't have to kill my phone battery and it provides the additional viewing modes. I believe the slow head tracking mode Spencer is referring to is called steady follow which does eliminate micro jitters that definitely give me motion sickness after an hour. You can also pin the image in space, shrink it to Picture in Picture mode (which I do sometimes to watch content and work on a physical device at the same time as an augmented overlay), or lock it to your head movement. Thats it for the Beam though. 2 apps, a power bank, and display controls. It does get hot in your pocket, it does have a fan, and it has decent controls on it. You can also store files on it. If you expected more then it's not for you. For watching movies on the go, it's pretty good. If you want better options, the Rokid Station is Google TV and apps in your pocket. Viture also has the Neck Band that I just bought to go with my Air 2 Pros. This is a blend of an android device, power bank, file storage system, and light AR interface. They all get hot and the Neckband also has a noisy fan. I just think it offers more and it wont be heating up as much as the Beam suffocating in my pocket. Theres a Rokid Station 2 coming and a new Beam that both should be significant upgrades for AR experiences so we'll see. Overall, like Spencer said, if you like gadgets and have money to spend, all of these things are fun toys. That includes Apple Vision, although it's much more refined and immersive, it still isn't the floating hologram in your face that a lot of people think these glasses are. If you have realistic expectations and the right....head and eye profile for such things, they can be pretty useful.

[@bluetech2809]

To be fair the marketing materials from Xreal (but also other competitors) are such that they are the ones creating these expectations. Look at any marketing stuff and you'll see simulated images of gigantic screens or multiple screens pinned in space around the user. Like you say, the FOV is far more limited and you have to physically move your head to see the other virtual screens, but that's not how they are marketing it so IMO it's their fault and their fault only. They cannot advertise one thing, deliver another, and expect people to just pretend that it's fine.

[@MauroBorsato]

I truly appreciate your honest review of the product. Considering the significant cost, I would have been disappointed to invest in something that doesn’t fully meet my expectations. I will keep an eye on what this company offers in the future because the concept is excellent, and as you noted, the materials are well-made. I'm confident they will address the current issues, and when they do, I’ll definitely become a customer.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Thanks!!

I wish some functions could be embedded into the glasses itself, without needing the beam, like wireless display technologies like AirPlay DNLA, WiDi... also embedded that ability to simulate 3 displays. I'd honestly be more than happy working those. Like this you can connect to your devices wirelessly, and enjoy. I'd go even further saying that we don't need the speakers, but more battery built into the glasses. Everybody owns some headphones. I'd be using my AirPods Pro. It can isolate sound, and it has pass through.

[@GregK2754]

I''ve bought the Xreal 1 without beam, and loved them. When the Pro 2 came out I bought it and a beam with it. I rarely use the beam not because its bad but because I only use it in the car. You see the feature I love with the beam is that you can put the screen in the corner, that and google maps up in my phone is perfect, out of the way heads up display for the car. My day to day use is on my PC or with my phone. On the PC I use a wireless mouse and keyboard and clam shell the laptop off to the side. I game, watch YT / movies, and work all with the glasses. I do not have the blurriness you described and can see the screen fairly well even with my old eyes (I wear 1.5 readers). A decent gaming monitor will run you about what the base glasses cost. To comment on the "Ultimate" version I think that's just the Air 2 pro with the NEW beam. I cant find any Ultimate glasses by themself. PC is a MSI Katana, Phone is a Samsung S22 Ultra

Might I say I love the honesty, and I would really like to get the Xreal Pro with the Beam.

But, I and many other people have an IPhone in our pockets and it is really tough to have two phones in our pockets especially since there is no cellular data for the Beam Pro…

This was absolutely my experience with trying these out (twice purchased even!), especially with the small subsection of possible screen space occupied. Maybe using all of the inside of the lens for the screens is just not possible yet. Anyway, I still would have kept them if they would just work well enough with a windows laptop environment.

You might have the same blur concern as a reviewer or really they just don’t have the best vision, but because they don’t know that, they blame the hardware lol.

so which one would you recommend? use case of military on-the-go with phone as only allowable tech to carry around and watch movies and play games on the phone kind of a heads up larger display use. Thanks for your honest review.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

dude if you arent able to have a bigger screen than your phone, than 100% get these or RayNeos. I think that is a great use case for them. My RayNeo review is coming out Saturday. I do think both brands are pretty equal (unless you get the beam which seems to add way more functionality) without the beam the two headsets are pretty neck and neck IMO.

[@andyheimlicher346]

You are 100 percent right about this product. I should have watched your review before purchasing. All I wanted was a display that was clear and usable. Xreal was not transparent about their product. It only works if you have the Right face. You did a great job on the review. I watched a ton of positive reviews and they forget to mention the Huge downside of the glasses. It looks like xreal only sent out free stuff to content creators with perfect faces. I will never buy another prototype unit again. Thank you again for your insight on a flawed product and your honesty.

[@jorgereyna2049]

I'm not sure what you mean by the right face/perfect face; it is not such a thing. Perfect ears as well? Samsung Galaxy Buds: I cannot use them; they are too chunky, and I feel discomfort if I have them for more than 5 minutes. Does that mean I don't have the perfect ears? I don't think so.

[@Rosarymeds]

It would be nice if there was a way to have no dimming it all. I wouldn't mind if the image was a bit washed out. Clear (or not as dim) lenses combined with the Beam would allow me to treat the glasses as an extra monitor without interfering too much with my view of the physical monitor. It sort of works now as long as I crank up the brightness of my monitor to compensate for the dimmer view through the Air. While the Beam helps, the Nebula software for Windows still isn't there to have a large virtual screen suitable for working. They company that can deliver a similar experience as a physical widescreen monitor will have my money. That being said, it is fun to watch a movie with the Air + Beam in a dark room.

[@Rhomagus]

I've had the original Nreal Air since they were released in Japan. I loved them and the concept of them, but the plastic gave out pretty early on since I got them. My pair finally bit the dust last week and I went with the Viture Pros due to their aluminum chassis. I prefer the style of the Xreal and was gunning for the Ultras but they took too long to market. That being said, I use them every day. Both companies need to make an all encompassing light filter, not just the clip on shield. I also would need a pair of glasses, not sunglasses. I drive at night for work. No, I don't watch videos and drive, but I've attempted to use them at night and it's possible just not convenient. You have to look through the very bottom of the lenses to see anything at night and with the line blocking the center of your vision like you mentioned in your critique, it's just too much. So my suggestion, for both Xreal and Viture, is clear lenses with the electrochromic dimmer, a plastic shield for a clear picture, and a full blackout visor for immersion. For Xreal specifically, they need to up the build quality. Aluminum, titanium, or carbon fiber. A sport version would be cool too but build quality needs to improve first.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

[@PhagitzSpreadAIDS]

Well what I would like to know is would these be a good replacement for a PC monitor where I am mostly stationary but would like to have a massive screen where I can have tons of windows and applications going where I can just look between them and instead of having to drop thousands of dollars on a massive PC screen that will not fit in my space and will only be a fraction of the size of the display that these glasses can display? Like I don't want 1/3 of my bedroom to be occupied by 4 massive multi-thousand dollar monitors when I could just pop a set of glasses on.

When will they incorporate the beam into the glasses...

[@ntrgc89]

I got the air 2 ultras. I didn't get the beam because it says the ultras have 6dof (read: you can pin apps in certain places in space, instead of them just being in front of you all the time), and quite frankly I'm confused about what the beam does and doesn't do. I was also not clear on how it's supposed to project 3 1080p monitors when the resolution is just 1080p, but as Spencer said, it just cuts off the screens you're not looking at (actually when looking at the middle screen I can still see maybe 5-10% of the the other two screens, not sure what's going on there, but the rest of the screens are cut off). The thing that really bothered me though is how unstable it is. It just shakes a little bit every time I move my head. It recovers its position, but it's jarring. Imagine if your monitor was flimsy it rocked every time you moved your head. I'll try it again tomorrow, sometimes you just need to adjust these things, but I think I'll probably return these and wait for the next gen product when they can get the resolution to a better spot.

[@AndrewD50297045]

Honestly I think a lot of your gripes have to do with your lifestyle and the tech you use. Not saying you don't have some points, but I have the original NReals and I upgraded to these just for the tinted glass bit really. I use them with my rog ally x laying in bed and on the plane with my S24 Ultra. Having Samsung Dex changes the game for these glasses. The phone turns into a trackpad for the glasses and when you touch a text field it pops up the keyboard, which you can see in your lower peripheral vision because they aren't goggle strapped to your face. I found I had to bend the nose bits out a lot and squish the glasses to my face to get my preferred viewing experience. Head shape, like with actual glasses matters quite a bit. I think the next step for all of these manufacturers is to have the ability to scale the image and adjust focus to match peoples vision and distance you need the glasses from your face.

[@willeedubs]

Very good review sir thank you I'd say right now, these glasses are not ready for prime time. I think if the company keeps at it they can perfect them.

I’ve been looking at this product for a year and they look so interesting, but I can tell they haven’t crossed that gimmick uncanny valley. Thanks for confirming my impressions since I can’t take the paid shills seriously. I can forgive them for simply being a monitor and I am grateful for the industry pushing for the AR glasses to go mainstream, however I think it goes without saying that we simply need big players like Meta, Google and Apple to come along to make a AR wearable glasses that are undeniably good. What’s missing from the Meta glasses are these displays. If a company can give me these glasses with screens but also have an AI assistant that can see the world like the meta glasses or new Google glasses then i’m game. Too bad the new Google glasses and meta glasses don’t have the screen because I’d rather read than hear.

Personally I don't want any of the AI assistant or AR nonsense. I just want a pair of XR glasses that will throw up a couple of big virtual screens in front of me, so that I can sit outside on my laptop and work. I really don't need or want anything else. No other functionality. No standalone XR app or device. The only add-on device I've seen that looks cool is the Viture dock that allows you to connect two sets of glasses, meaning you could watch a movie/tv show together or play video games together with someone. I'll caveat that by saying that I don't have one and have no idea how/whether it works well.

100%. I was SO excited by this product based on the reviews I watched, but I experienced the EXACT same issues you described. The side blurriness was, in the end, the deal-breaker for me. I have the Beam, which allows you to decrease the screen size, which helps a bit with the side blurriness, but that also increases the interior glare for some reason. Very cool concept and overall design, but not all there quite yet. Sigh… I’m hoping their next iterations are closer to what I expected.

WOW How nice to see an honest review that actually covered all the flaws. I was so excited to get my glasses after seeing so many positive reviews. I was just so disappointed after getting them because I couldn't use them. I have an iPhone 12 which didn't seem to work at all with the glasses, and an older Android which also wouldn't work. I use PC computers and that didn't work either. EVERY video I watched the reviewers had Macs and no one covered PCs. So essentially the glasses did nothing. After debating, send them back or order the Beam, I was still hoping to like them and kept them and ordered the Beam. Thankfully that at least worked and I can use Netflix and Prime now. But I was still perplexed by the fuzzy edges and the whole picture didn't always fit in the vision area of the glasses. I still like the idea and am going to keep playing with them, but wow, not the experience I was hoping for and certainly not a good experience without all the latest tech to go with it.

It depends on what PC you have specifically but I believe they do have a Windows Nebula app. There are some (fairly high) hardware requirements but the main issue could be that you're using the wrong adapter cable?

Its not your eyes. Its the fact that Air 2 Pro design is using smaller optics than former Air, projecting smaller image.

Hello! Thank you for this video because I have a pair of RAYNEO Air 2 Smart glasses, pretty much the same concept as your glasses, and the very issues you are describing occurs with my glasses. It makes no sense to me that the viewing area is blurry in spite of being visible. As you said, move the glasses around to see the sides and corner stuff better, and only on one side at a time. This is one of those WTF were they thinking when designing these things? You are right the concept is also what I have been looking for, kind of. The glasses I have are absolutely are not what I expected given the hype! I would like to know what human model was used to fashion the eye pieces. An adjustable eyepiece would be a vast improvement in media viewing. Having to move the glasses around your eyes to get the best viewing angle is aggravating! Why can't I just put them on and see what is being offered without all of the hand face acrobatics? A bone conducting headphone is a better setup than the current setup with these types of mobile audio visual entertainment systems. Trying to hear thru these things requires an almost quiet surrounding! Not being able to hear what is being played thru the speakers, defeats the purpose of mobile entertainment. Good video!

I was hesitating into making this comment but I believe it may helpful to others.

I believe the issue here is that in the area that broke off its just plastic and yes cheap plastic then of course this was meant to happend. To make things worse the company is located in China and their costumer support only respond trough email and it takes 2 to 4 days to respond, you can imagine how annoying and fustrating this can be. I sent them proof of purchase and they respond that since I dont purchased it directly from them and that since they cant find any records in their system they cannot help me. That really sucks and its a painfull way of wasting almost $500. I wouldnt recomment any of their cheap products. By the way I also have the same issue with certain areas of the display being blurry I even contacted them about the issue with no response. Buyers please be aware.
