I worked at the XREAL booth at CES this year and was really impressed with the Air 2 Pro & Ultra. Unfortunately, the agency they hired did not pay us. XREAL told us to kick rocks.

Got the Air since last year. I'm glad that XREAL had updated those to support 120Hz but at the same time it makes the Air 2 not really an upgrade. These are just for new users if we're being honest. I won't be upgrading my glasses until there is a better FOV or the screen gets a lot better like making it 1440p 144Hz or so. I know 4K is out of the question anytime soon so I'll take those two upgrades for the time being. I wish they would make 3D support a lot better as well.

I have the OG Air and pre-ordered the Air 2 Pro. I wouldn't dream of going with a Quest instead - it's a totally different product. The main reason I upgraded was comfort. I have worn my Airs for way longer than your two hours playing Baldur's Gate III on my Ayaneo 2S. I find that the right arm starts to put pressure on my head behind my ear - the 2 has a flexible ear hook which you didn't mention. I work through that by moving the arm so it sits outside my ear - it works OK for a while. Next discomfort I get is the sheer weight on my nose. The 2 is 10% lighter and with the flexible ear hooks should be way more comfortable. My use case is primarily my Ayaneo, and as it has two USB-C ports I can power the Air from it as long as I want to when plugged in (my normal for the device). I may on occasion use it for Nebula on my Mac, and I more regularly use it for watching videos in bed if my wife is asleep. I went Pro as the mid setting for light blocking might be useful, but also I don't need to carry the blind with me. I didn't know the Pro still came with one and I am really pleased you told me it does, and especially that it has wings at the bottom to shoo reflections of my shirt. Overall not a bad video, but your tone was being pretty down on the Air in comparison to what I think is an entirely different product that most people wouldn't be cross shopping with.

Having used both Viture XR one and Xreal Air 2, which of the two would you recommend? I recently purchased Viture one XR and main decision factor was the diopter so I can adjust the vision without having to use any additional lenses. Specs on Xreal air 2 seems better in every way, so I was wondering if I maybe made the wrong decision purchasing the Viture one XR and the neckband. Would love your insight comparing the two. Thanks ! Love your reviews !

Wish you went deeper from a windows handheld pov, still so many questions! How does it handle Windows HDR? What is the adjustable min fps range? Can you cover more in depth about body anchor mode (resolution loss, smoothness, is the compute handled by the dock)? I swore off all AR glasses because desktop moving with your head causes nausea and body anchor is supposedly the fix for that. Huge for AR glasses if true.

My biggest use case would be working on them, like literally have 20 terminals open and typing stuff. The second use case would be a UI for my DJ controller. That third mode or second mode might do. The essence is that if you have a prescription the laptop might be just at the right distance or not... This might defeat that problem that you can or can not read the selector for the next track.

Ok, that anchor mode is a game changer. That's literally why i stopped using the nreal air after a month.

I sit on a lot of airplanes and if there was ANY turbulence, the glasses would be unusable. Does anyone know if i can firmware update the nreal air to do the same thing?

You need an adapter to use them on a PS5. iPhone 15’s you can just plug them in.

Do you think the Beam or any of the competition (e.g. the Viture Neckband) would be able to do this, now or in the future? I think this would expand the usability of XR glasses from media consumption/gaming to general productivity, which would also expand the user base.

I find the XREAL Air 2s really interesting. I haven't dabbled in AR/VR much, but have been very interested and kind of waiting to see a use case that would fit my wants/needs while not destroying my bank account. These seem to do that, to an extent. It seems these are primarily just for cellphone and deck use. That's not bad, considering most of the apps and games you would want/need are already on your phone, and the Air 2s would just give you a massive screen to play on. However, I agree that trying to use these with a console (XBOX, Playstation, etc) is kind of a fail and, sadly, that would be my primary use case. I sit about 8-10 feet from my XBOX while playing, so having to tether everything and practically have the console in your lap while playing makes it essentially unworkable for me. It would be much better if the Beam were able to connect via bluetooth/wifi to those consoles and essentially "beam" or "cast" to the Air 2s like a secondary monitor. Then I could sit where I normally do and play on a 120" screen with the Air 2s, which would be fantastic!! The novelty and affordability of the Air 2s is really exciting. It's tempting to get them just to try them. I just hope they're able to iterate a bit and solve that console tethering issue, even if it means making the Beam bigger. It would be worth it.

Let me get this right i can only play ps5 on these for about two hours before the beam needs to be recharged? Also has anyone had any experience of playing online fps games on these.

As someone who’s interested in AR for productivity purposes (specifically traveling and being able to have multi monitor experience with my computer), It seems like the market isn’t quite there. On one hand you have devices like this, that are small enough, but not quite good enough. On the other you have stuff like the quest, that is good enough but still too bulky. I’m hoping the gap get’s bridged this year.

These really aren’t much of an upgrade from the first version. The first version are plenty bright to the point I have to turn it down in low light conditions. If they went from 1080p per eye to 2.5k or 4k it would be a definite buy for me.

The only micro-OLED 4k displays on the market are made by Sony. And they cost ~$1200 each. So the displays alone will cost $2400 for these glasses. So 4k won't be available in this kind of glasses for a few more years.

My main use case for these would be doing some basic video editing on a long car ride. Squishing the laptop monitor up against the seat/dash and looking down gets uncomfortable pretty quickly. I'm also wondering if the beam with the body anchor function genuinely makes for a more comfortable viewing experience that's worth the cash. It seems like the viture one(at least on paper) has the best display and tech for the price, but none of the viewing features that the xreal offers.

That sounds like motion sickness waiting to happen. That said, it's basically my use case for this type of device (editing in the field) and I'm keeping an eye on the market segment. Have you considered a portable monitor with some kind of seat mount?

You are forgetting the ergonomics case. I would definitely pay double that price to relief my neck from having to stretch towards a physical monitor, when doing regular computer work, given that it works ok in terms av resolution, clarity, etc. For instance, I would like to be able to zoom easily, to check some detail on screen. Yes, that could be a function in whatever software I'm using, but it would be even better if it was a "hardware" thing, corresponding to leaning closer to a physical monitor. Thanks for a great review, though.

i have the xreal air 1 and the only thing i dont like about it is the hoops you have to jump through to use them while charging your steamdeck or whatever device you have that only has one C port. i would have jumped at a proper xreal charging/DPalt dongle over a new product.

The main reason I use my Rokid glasses is to watch movies and play games during transatlantic flights. My only complaint is that I cannot lock the display in place. I know the Beam would let me do this but that feature alone is not enough for me to buy the new generation...

Very nice review, the Beam part always confused me until this video. Personally requiring ANOTHER device to be able to connect to my console is a deal breaker. This kind of thing should be native to the glasses themselves, the whole point of these glasses is convenience and having another device + wire in addition to the wire from the glasses and potentially a headset/ or console charger makes this incredibly messy. Only use I can see for these is connecting it directly to a supported phone (not older iphones) and using them as a large monitor in public transport especially planes. Still, I'd rather just buy a handheld console like the Legion Go than pay for these glasses.

I still have the old Rokid Air, both Rokid Max and Xreal 2 don't seem to be a worth upgrade, they need to use 4k displays and increase the fov much more to be worth it. They are good but mostly for movies, cause they project a big virtual display in front of you, but the display looks big only if you trick your mind projecting it to a distant wall, when i sit in front of my 32 inch monitor the glasses display looks actually slightly smaller than my 32 inch, and since i'm used to sit very close to the monitor when playing games i don't like the glasses experience that much, while for whatching movies it's good to have the feeling of a huge display watched from far away

@@AlanVickers1992 I have the Rokid Max and can say that it will not work for mirroring dual screens. And the Rokid AR space is limited to softwares in its library. You could open multiple windows if you connect via samsung dex but the screens move with your head and it's too small. For it to work you would have to have spatial function with body anchor in dex which there isn't. I think XREAL has a windows software that allows multiple screens in AR space so that could be a possibility
