XREAL Air 2 & Air 2 Pro - The Ultimate 130” Display! // Works with Nintendo Switch!

[@MatthewMoniz]

* In order to use Netflix / Prime Video you have to jailbreak the xreal beam. I apologize for the confusion as the apps came installed. Would you guys buy these to pair with your devices? If you enjoyed the video feel free to hit the like button and subscribe!

I'm on jury duty, and these would be so perfect.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Haha not a bad idea.

[@calebfoster2520]

Still looks like a product in its beta form. I like to see where it goes, but I can’t be a test subject. Thank you everyone who has the income and is paving the way!

[@TheBigb1973]

Do you still see the annoying Halo around the image like the last pair had?

[@VKGamingKR215]

I think that comes with any pair of XR glasses due to the current technology. My pair of Viture Ones have the same thing; not sure on other brands though.

[@bigrigross]

Ive been waiting for a decent pair of VR/AR glasses for awhile now. On top of being able to use it while traveling (holding a laptop stinks in a car on long trips), I want these for work. I work in Healthcare IT and on a on call rotation. Right now, if I leave the house, I have to take my laptop and my external monitors and then I have to worry about where I sit in public when working with patient data. These glasses solve the issue of not needing to take my travel monitor and opening up my freedom of where to sit because no one can look at my screen. Also my 14" laptop and my 15" travel screen has nothing on the visual size of the screen in the glasses. Definitely going to pick up a pair.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Ya you’re absolutely right in terms of privacy these nail it. I didn’t even think of that. Let me know how you like it when you pick them up!

[@Cdub0619]

I worked the XREAL booth at CES and had many hours of experience with Air 2 Pro & Ultra and I have to say I was really impressed with the overall sharpness and size. It's also very comfortable and you don't experience any nausea like some full headsets. The only downside is that XREAL and the company they hired did not pay me!

[@owlmostdead9492]

Damn, I would be okey with 1080p screen real-estate but the refresh-rate dropping to 72Hz for gyro enabled stuff (productivity, multiple virtual monitors heello), is actually a deal breaker for me..

The beam should come with the glasses .its only a battery.no need for the high price

[@l.s.a1990]

Can you talk about how to charge the Xreal Beam

[@ThugLifeModafocah]

Hey man, it would be awesome if you could do something related to software development using these glasses. There's a whole segment not being addressed that could benefit a lot of these.

[@jellybean2ndaccount161]

Will look into it, thanks!

[@bathroomsessions]

Yes! This is always what I'm looking for and everyone just mentions viewing video or playing stuff. I want something fairly simple but easy to read text, with minimal blurriness, so I can just grab a pair of glasses for the road to develop with.

[@ivandecimus2637]

​​@@bathroomsessionshey I can help you with that, I've also replied to the main guy's question but doesn't seem interested in it so I'll reply here too xD. I have a pair of Air 2s and based on my experience, all the corners (up down left right) is slightly blurry, center is clear as day. I need to adjust the glasses in order to see that one part more clearly. So as of now until Xreal gives users the ability to adjust the screens size manually, I don't think this is worth investing in. BUT when the stable version of the Nebula App for PC comes out, you would be able to have 3 (if not mistaken) adjustable virtual monitors for your PC/laptop. But as of now it's still in beta and it doesn't support the Air 2's yet. I hope this answers some of your curiosity and have a good day.

[@sebluketravis2438]

Nargh, still Beta for me. They need to stop trying to cross sell with the Beam. Simply have a charging cable in one ear and a USB C in the other, saves all that messing around. Also, they need to ''frame'' the screen like the vision pro to prevent mad halo's - so that would be software.

[@gabolobo1908]

Appreciate the video! Quick question, do they support any of the HDR formats?

[@SlightlySaici]

Even if it could support it, at 500 nits it's probably not a 'HDR experience' and you'd be better off using SDR. HDR requires a minimum of 1000 nits to shine, more is better, OLED can get away with 800 nits sometimes.

[@MatthewMoniz]

No hdr support at the moment

[@legendboyAni]

[@armandlattizori5990]

So will the speakers on the glasses be too loud to use on a plane? If so I can still use my Bluetooth headphones?

[@Cdub0619]

I worked the XREAL booth at CES and while standing next to someone wearing these you can hear a slight rumble similar to someone wearing headphones. You can still pair your Bluetooth device for an overall better sound experience.

[@carlos-ys1xc]

Of course, it has to not work with Google Pixel.

[@Gundam-bruh]

My problem i could see are with long flights. I couldn’t wear earbuds on a long flight. But also, I couldn’t wear headphones over glasses for a long time either.

[@jamesikhimioya562]

[@dlocks]

Hi, first thanks for the content. I recently purchased Air 2 Pro + Beam and looking for the simplest (in terms of cables and connectivity) to play Switch docked and un-docked. In your video, you show yourself playing Switch just by connecting directly to the Switch using a USB-C cable without any adapter. Could you let me know what cable you are using to achieve this? Also, could you recommend how to play on the go with an external power source? Thank you.

[@dlocks]

Just realized this is achieved by using the provided USB Type-C to C cable (I was using another charging C-C cable). :) Would appreciate you still recommending a on-the-go setup to play Switch using an external power source. Thank you.

[@armandlattizori5990]

So you can use the switch without the dock? Do you need the Beam?

[@ButterPrata]

[@wenyanwang219]

Can you talk about the fan noise of beam?

[@domogami]

How do the glasses do outside or with the display small or off? Are the 2s or pros usable as sunglasses or glasses comfortably walking around? Just curious

[@MatthewMoniz]

I mean I wouldn’t wear them as sunglasses they won’t protect your eyes. You can see through them and walk around but it’s not perfectly clear since you have the frames of the displays in your vision

[@EpochFitness]

@@MatthewMonizinteresting. So there is no option of having the screen in, say top right corner of your vision, and leave the rest of FOV open? Is that right?

[@_Mario_PL_]

@@EpochFitness I think he means the screens are fixed in your field of vision even when nothing is playing/showing. You can't just move the hardware out of the way.

[@EpochFitness]

@@_Mario_PL_ that makes more sense.

[@BobbieGWhiz]

The Beam device gets really poor reviews on Amazon. Is it necessary for just watching videos or a Safari window? Will the window jiggle around with head movements? Thanks

[@jacob416]

The window would only wiggle if the glasses don’t fit you well, they are sort of “one size fits all” (they are mildly adjustable and there is only one size option) but I haven’t seen anyone complain about the fit impacting the usability of the glasses, just the comfort. The beam device isn’t necessary but without it’s basically just a massive portable display, so if that’s all your interested in than you don’t need it. But the beam is where the xreals get a few decent of their “AR” features, including(I believe) being able to change the size and location of the virtual monitor. Also btw if you look at their website you can get the beam and the glasses for a little bit cheaper as a bundle than buying each separately from Amazon, but they don’t offer express shipping, like they don’t even let you pay extra for it. So if you go that route you’ll have to wait a week or 2 to get them.

[@localblackman427]

The beam update to work as a standalone device is fantasic. It runs its own apps now

Does anyone know if by locking my phone the screen will still be running on the glasses?

[@MatthewMoniz]

Depends on the app but mostly no the screen on the phone has to stay on

[@omarcortes5754]

I'm not much into these VR/AR devices. Carrying with the glasses plus the doc and the cables don't make sense to me, I prefer a big TV.

[@MatthewMoniz]

You don't need the Dock. The dock is optional Just the glasses and the cable to connect it directly to the phone or device. Honestly, its one of those things you need to try for yourself but its VERY handy for Airplanes or when you just want a bigger screen. Definitely beats carrying a portable display. Also no batteries to charge!

[@joshperryppg]

I had a hard time reading the text on the Diablo4 gameplay. Is it that bad IRL?

[@MatthewMoniz]

It’s hard to film since I’m using my phone pointed through the one of lenses of the glasses. But you can read the text fine if you had them on for yourself

[@klaaskay2685]

Does it support 3D movies?

[@urbantwilight]

Can i connect a camera to these to see what that camera sees? I'm assuming the glasses don't have one built in, or do they?

[@armandlattizori5990]

Wondering the same. Did you ever figure it out?

[@Cdub0619]

I worked at the XREAL booth at CES this year and the answer is, "It depends". I had a few attendees whip out their camera rig and plug in via a USB C cable and some brands did support mirroring the image and some didn't. I wish I had a better answer.

[@keesverhagen9227]

IMHO, there is nothing about VR/AR, just a screen in glasses If you really want to get VR/AR experience - get meta quest 3

[@MatthewMoniz]

I agree it’s mostly a massive screen that can be used with your devices. The AR aspect of it is being able to see that screen while you’re in your environment. But for a pair of glasses that are easy to carry. Don’t take up much space or require charging it’s a cool idea to have in your pocket when you want whatever you’re looking at to be bigger

None of these glasses, whatever gain any traction, whatever take off because they’re just plain ugly to bulky and nobody’s gonna buy them Just think about it. All of these glasses have been out how many years now and not even a blip on anybody’s radar.

[@MatthewMoniz]

They are definitely not bulky especially when you compare it to something like a normal virtual reality headset. They are only a bit thicker then a normal pair of sunglasses. Surprisingly XREAL has sold a lot of these glasses. But yes its not mainstream and more of an enthusiast early adopter product. My suggestion before trashing them is to try them for yourself. Its a great way to have a big screen with you without it being a big screen you have to carry. No batteries to charge and privacy.
