Two important notes: The older model now supports 120Hz as well. And you’ve shown the Nintendo Switch with the Airs plugged in directly. This isn’t possible. Figured your viewers might want to know that. Also to keep in mind: The Beam doesn’t support 120Hz, as it’s utilising 72Hz for the 'spatial' stuff. Also when using the Beam, you’ll have slight input latency for gaming and HUD elements can appear jittery when the spatial window adapts to your movements. (Source: I got a pair of these + Beam.)

We appreciate your reviews. Keep up the good work.

[@Guds777]

I am starting to think that most channels who review those glasses gets paid to do it by manufacturers script. The reality is far from what it is shown in most of those videos. I bought Air 2 Pro, and it is a lot of fiddling to make them work, and they do not work like in the advertisement or this videos. It is not much of an AR, it is basically a monitor. Also if your phone, pc or game console does not have a full featured USB 3.0 type C it will not connect wired, it will if you have Beam Air it will connect wirelessly. But you need to have it paired to your wifi, but your phone can of course be a hot spot if you want to go outside with it. And if you want to do something fun with it you need that Nebula app and that is only in few selected countries. And the worst thing is the picture you get tend to float away from you and it has blurred edges. But if you are a tech nerd like me it is a cool apparatus and is fun to play with, but AR are still far from being what we want it to be. And there must be a better way to adjust the picture you are getting. Like in side view mode you need to be able to adjust the size of the picture and even rotate it. You can´t see anything what´s going on with those 4 squares...

[@Love_N_Let_Live]

​@XREAL_Global ahh, hello!

[@loofers]

great interview. i'm definitely considering the xreal air 2, looks awesome. it would be super cool if the airs could do the screen pinning without the beam, either with just a cellphone and a little bit of hardware in the glasses, or if cell phones had the hardware built in. if i were pj i'd entertain the idea of licensing or wholesale selling the xreal beam hardware/software stack to samsung, and maybe to apple too. would be a selling feature of phones for sure if you could plug in glasses and pin the image off to the side of your vision, and maybe save that config/setup so you could quickly get to that setting with a buttonpress on the glasses or phone. it would literally be like google glass, without costing 1000$, - you could use it while riding a bike, running, etc. it would really be cool if the xreal beam functionality was just baked into all modern cellphones.

[@williambutler901]

Great hardware but software support is the issue. I own the original airs and I am still waiting for them to fix the virtual desktop software that was broken by the latest Mac OS update. Focus on getting the software working before releasing new hardware.

[@UGEplex]

They released the fix yesterday. Go get the new Nebula for Mac 0.6.0

[@PhuocHungNguyen]

Im really looking forward to the new version of these glasses. I had to return the old one cause of their app problem and extreamly hard to wear when I want to lay down

[@AlexChan-kn5xm]

It's very nicely made. A huge step forward indeed. I wonder when we could have a pair of AR glasses as superb as XReal that could interact with users and the real world via visuals and hand gestures. Now, its just a beautiful display for your devices like mobile phones, computers, etc.

[@Food4thought1234]

Seems like they really focused on the issues with the first batch. I had to get my ear part replaced because it cracked. However they literally sent an ups to come pick it up from my house with no charge. I was really surprised and skeptical honestly. I doubt that will last forever but I thought it was worth noting. The nose piece was very uncomfortable especially depending on your face shape. I would recommend them. I use them for my Steam deck. I just wish there was a way to charge my devices while using the glasses. Kinda wish they talked about the FOV. If the display was just a but bigger. It would aliviate so many issues. But either I missed it or they didn’t say. But too bad they had no app for iOS. There are updates I can’t do since I don’t have a pc. But regardless if your thinking of getting this go for it. I told 8 people at work about it and they all got it and love it

I hope they come out with the air3 with everything else built-in like the 3 display modes from the Xreal Beam and HDMI adaptor to plug into your gaming/work desktop.

[@iamconnorwoods]

To confirm: these aren’t wirelessly screen sharing right? I love these for the idea of travel and while using a cord is fine, definitely looking forward to being able to use these wirelessly with your phone

[@peteroregan7786]

Hi. Nice video thanks @TheTechChap. I am seeking AR glasses that can project actual AR on them (i.e. overlay a future building plan to be seen overlaid on an empty site) rather than just watching a movie or playing a game. Do these glasses have sensors (esp IMU) to know where someone is looking in real space? If not, does this exist in a “glasses” form, rather than VR headsets? Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks!

[@mikewazowski7526]

Mind-blowing. I didn't know such technology already exists!

[@filipjovanovic8138]

I have the first model and I think I’d rather wait another generation or two before I upgrade. The main thing I want is proper spacial computing within the glasses, without the need for the Beam. The only compelling thing to me in this iteration is the dimming function of the pro model, because that’s something I really wanted. But it’s not enough of a reason to upgrade

[@sergekonevsky]

They just copied the dimming function from Viture, and literally no other upgrade on air 2

[@oo--7714]

It is probably gonna take a while for the beam to get small enough to be a part of the glasses.

P.J. I think this product is so exciting! I am visually impaired and I purchased the first generation with very high hopes. Unfortunately I am one of those people that the additional eyeglass fitment will not work for my particular ailment. I would love to revisit using the new Xreal 2 pros if there could be some software adjustments to App that could allow people with visual impairments to adjust the font size. Like you can using accessibility features on your phone.I kept having to readjust mine on my face and it kept turning them off. It was so close to being a miracle for someone like myself.

These look so awesome! I’ve been wanting something like this for my legion go. The only thing I worry about is how it affects the performance of games? The finals already struggle a bit with the fps, how is it on this screen? I also wonder if there is any bad input lag with it? And could someone explain to me the FOV on this? Does it really matter? It’s just a “virtual screen” like you would use an external monitor right? So the FOV slider in game is what matters anyways I would assume?

[@josemariacastellanos7401]

is it possible to increase the size of the virtual screen? like zoom in/out ?

[@arkayenro8225]

can they be adjusted for pupil distance, or is that fixed? ie if your pupils are further apart than what this is setup for then youre going to be slightly cross eyed to see the screens which will cause massive eye fatigue after a while.

[@komplicatedsam6332]

Hi do you think it’s worth going for the pro model for the dimming lenses, would be using it for gaming and movies in a well lit room. Looking at the video 35% and 100% dimming looked very dark. Would like to see what’s around me when using this.
