these have been a huge quality of life improvement for me. I'm a farmer and on the days I have to spend hours upon hours crawling a tractor across a huge field, being able to watch some shows from my phone while keeping my head up and able to see that i'm still on track and my implement is still operating fine, has made the work so much more enjoyable. I obviously don't recommend using these while operating dangerous equipment or driving, but I own everything involved, the risk is minimal, and most importantly, no one else is involved in that risk. these glasses have made a necessary part of my life way more enjoyable, what a great product.

Congratulations on the twins! I have twins too. Tons of fun. I really could’ve used the Xreal when they were babies. I have a pair of the air 2 and I am honestly quite impressed with them as well. Much better than I expected. A tip in regards to privacy. You can plug into your MacBook and dim the screen all the way down and you’ll still see content in the glasses, and you’ll get more battery life as well

Nice review and congrats to you both on the new kids…💕💕

Excellent review. Well thought out. Focused and to the point.

Great job, as usual.

Side view is a good fit for me because i do alot of walking on my commute to work when i go to wait for my bus and after getting off the bus to arrive at the office so just having the screen off the side playing content that does not require much visual attention and not blocking my vision would be great

Congrats on your Twins!

Great review. My bundle will come tomorrow. My hopes are computing without monitors, preventing tech-neck and just treating myself on long flights. So I'm really excited to see if its money well spent

I have owned the NReal Air glasses for over a year and a half and love them. They are not perfect for everything, but what they do, they really do well. The biggest thing I notice is how bright and clear the displays are. I really think you could watch these outside in direct sunlight with no issues. Nothing else I have is as bright. The color and clarity are wonderful. I use these with my iPad Pro 12.9” Gen 3 and my iPhone 12 pro max. I also have a Samsung Note Ultra 20 and it works great with that as well. The only issue I can find with this is that the browser and other software in the AR side are not standard software, meaning that data privacy could be an issue. Imagine using some weird, third party browser to log into your KZread account and giving your access credentials away! Scary. If you keep that in mind, this is a great product.

This is the best review I have seen for this product.

I’ve got the Air 2 and the beam. They are excellent and the display is unbelievable. My only gripe is the over ear speakers are not loud. If you cup them with your hands they sound louder 😂 I tend to use ear pods so no real issue. I got a cheap iPhone/ipad remote to pause and play without having to look at the screen.

@ProperHonestTech I notice what looks like the LG DualUp in the background, I am a cloud engineer and data scientist and wanted your opinion between the DualUp and these for productivity? Comfort is a big deal for me and so I have been considering the Air 2 pro so I can lounge with my laptop while working, however I am also tempted by the DualUp for it's reliability (as an actual physical monitor) and versatility for writing and editing long code. I work from home and my office is windowless and so I'm curious if you think personally the Air 2 (with or without beam) would be a better option than the DualUp? I don't normally ask questions in comments however you uniquely have experience with both of my current options!

I have Viture One XR ....quite impressed ❤

Great video and sounds like you're a wonderful father and husbands. Cheers on that. About the small screen floating on the side, it would be great to use while cooking and needing to follow a recipe without having to look at a real cook book, or even a manual while working on something physical. I think the uses are endless. Please review the XREAL Air 2 Ultra. They're not out yet, but I think reviewers can get their hands on them.

I guess you're an apple/iPhone guy, but id like to see you get ahold of a Samsung phone and review how well these work as a portable Dex station with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Love the idea of leaving my laptop at home and travelling light.

THE best tech reviews, tips and tricks on KZread..! Congratulations on the birth of your twins… also a “life changing product” ❤ I wish you all the best…!!

Thanks for the review. You mentioned glasses and contacts (so for those who wear glasses permanently) but what about reading glasses? Do people who wear glasses for reading need to use the additional lenses?

just as a side node you can also just run a hdmi + usb to usb - c mode eith the glasses the beam itself is just to enable nebula features for all devices (side view / body anchor / smooth follow) therefore only glasses work on everything that has usb + hdmi (with a 15€ purchase) and the beam if you want to have those extra features aswell

We really need to see a comparison between RayNeo Air 2 & Xreal Air 2!

Great review. When using them with your MacBook can you see your keyboard?

I was wandering the same…

I had the exact same reaction. I was waiting for the Apple headset, and I thought I would try these not really expecting to keep them. They were fantastic. Expected to use them primarily on airplanes (and they are much less obtrusive for that purpose.) but I find myself using them when I am watching a movie by myself versus watching on a big screen TV. Immediately ordered another pair for my wife. With these, I may just pass on the first generation of the Apple headset. Thanks for a great channel.really enjoy your reviews.

Does the 3 screen / multitasking functionality work on m2 iPad Pro? That would be a definite incentive for me to buy as I use my iPad Pro as a laptop?

Not only your only monitor but you can set up a dual/triple or even quad monitor setup through display settings on your device and have them anchored in space.

A few of the things that were not mentioned were that you can store files on the beam and there is no Windows support. Also, not all HDMI to USB C cables work.

I was sold on XREAL Air 2's, but they're the same price as the Meta Quest 3's where I live. Meta Quest's are the way to go if you live in the same region as me.

Im normally use a projector unless with some else watching im not going back that anymore after these glass. no setup faff big bright picture and later purchase of beam can only improve options im only using the first model branded as nreal. the option to pin screen off center opens up using navigation and still see the road in dayligh hours a new horizon like headup display fighter jet tec maybe rear view too with beams 3 screens

This is something I would definitely like to try but my glasses are pretty thick. Is there a limit on the prescription strength for glasses adapter?

@slicedpage

6 ай бұрын

I found wearing prescription glasses works with these but it is not ideal, I forked out the £100 for lenses and it does make a big difference. As for the strength of the lenses and being able to get them you'd need to speak to the optician whom you choose to make them. If I had been a little less impulsive I could have found another supplier for half the price. So, shop around.

the beam is not necessary for make them work. You can use the xreal's ada adapter.

Very awesome video, exactly what I‘ve been looking for since these kind of glasses are almost constantly in my mind. But to spend over 450 Swiss Francs (over 500$) is not a small thing to do. But since I own a 15 Pro Max and 2 x M1 iPads with a USBC port covers the question of connectivity. I guess I only would use these glasses on my iPad or iPhone watching on one of the various movie-websites on the web. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

For me, the price isn’t too high because it’s more or less the same as buying two extra monitors for a three screen setup, with the added benefit of using it also to see movies and videos. I would use it 99% of the times for these two purposes, the 1% being the ocasional gaming session 😊

I worked as a Brand Ambassador for XREAL at CES this year and was really impressed with both the Air 2 Pro & Ultra. Unfortunately, the marketing director they hired with a yahoo email did not pay us. Lesson learned.

The beam doesn't have enough apps. I don't even know where I put it. Attaching to my phone and watching any streaming app is great. It's a better quality and larger picture than my 120in 1080 projector. I also attach to steamdeck

Thank you for this. Your review just felt so much more real use case and down to earth without all the extra ick other youtubers add 😇

Please review the XReal Ultras that are coming out soon, they promised more features/functionality with those

13:34 - can you tell me if you can use a "USB-C Female to Lightning Cable Adapter" instead of the expensive adaptor?

Great video review in many ways, but still left me wondering can you watch a movie/youtube with them while hovvering the stairs or cleaning up? A question that is not fully answered by your review - the only hint that this may be possible is that you state you can shrink the screen to concentrate on the real world enviroment, despite saying these are not really AR glasses and you darken out the real world with a filter.

Do the pros get more see through than the non pros because of the adjustable dimming?

Sir, thanks for your review ! 💪 But could you check without having the glasses on if you really have twins ? 😂

Fantastic concept came to a real product! I don’t understand WHY TF big players like Apple and Samsung didn’t do it before. It is SIMPLE. Start just with an external monitor of your smartphone your comp or anything. Everybody is in their phones and comps today. Why should you invent anything complex like AR VR #R than the MUCH SIMPLIER need is on the surface??? They dumb lost this opportunity for the good of NREAL-XREAL! I have used the version 1. And I’m excited to get my version 2 pretty soon. Nice review. Thank you

can we directly connect it to android phones with c port, does it works ? how to connect it to iPhone which has lightning port? how to connect it to windows desktop which has only hdmi port? only original c type cable which comes in box works with it or any other c type cable? wireless connection with iPhone 14 pro through beam is smooth or not comfortable? any type c to HDMI cable works with it or only original xreal c to HDMI cable works ? PLEASE TRY TO REPLY

For most people, this technology is a dream come true, if not more than that.

I’ve read on Reddit the software you need to use for MacBooks doesn’t work with M2 chip. Were you using M1 or M2? I’m looking at these mainly for the 3 screen setup for software development instead of forking over $2000 for monitors

You didn't mention the horrible blurred corners. XReal must fix it.

Thank you for the insightful video! I recently purchased AR glasses (XREAL Air AR Smart Glasses, Formerly Nreal with Massive 201") for my research, and I'm looking for a compatible Android tablet to enhance the experience. Since I use an iPhone 12 and can't use the Nebula app, I'm planning to buy an Android tablet or mobile device specifically for that purpose. Any recommendations for the best-fit Android tablet or mobile device to pair with AR glasses?

I have these glasses. You can get a Samsung smartphone with Dex. Dex is a computer-like environment you can use with your glasses, and it is actually a better solution than Nebula, which is the native Nreal application. I use both Nebual and Dex as both are useful, but most of the time I use Dex.

Apparently they are really cool for editing in FCP and others.

I wonder if you can turn your laptop monitor off or dim to 0 for use on a plane. Would save battery, and deal with any privacy concerns

Prescription lenses: what if you wear progressive lenses? can i get that on the lenses to insert into the frame?

Would be good to know how easy is the use of keyboard when typing. Is it weird?

How do you practically use a single or multi monitor setup when wearing these when you can’t then clearly see your keyboard and mouse/trackpad?

Gaming consoles can now go screenless and just become a add on to such displays

hopefully they'll release 4k 240hz versions for $2000, I'd definitely buy that cause I'm looking for a portablje 4k 240hz screen that's very large.

Are you near-sighted or far-sighted? I’m pretty much near sighted and have a pretty strong Prescription. I take off my glasses to see 6 to 12 inches in front of me, like when I often use my phone, so I have kind of assumed that I should be able to see the screens sans contacts. Although if I hold anything 1 inch in front of my eyes it is blurry with OR without my glasses on. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s been a few years since I worn my contacts at all actually.

Getting the XReal Air 2 pro AR Glasses is a goal of mine

Question, while’s plugged into the macbook, can you dim the actual macbook without it dimming the virtual screens?

Finally got mine two days ago. Funny I just realized my nose is slightly off center making the view from the glasses also slightly off center (making the sides in some situation blurry). I found this out by lookng straight at the screen then closing one eye after the other. If Xreal can read this maybe make a nose pad or the screen adjustable to the left or right to center the screen for noses like mine or for those with broken nose.

You mention software that allows multiple monitors with windows. Can you tell us the name of the software.

Yes sir I will purchase the pro for gaming and watching videos

Great!

I only want to mirror my Windows Screen to these, so I can walk around and still attend teams meetings. Will the beam allow that, power source plus screen mirroring via wifi?

When using it on the plane - will the speakers be enough considering the ambient noise of the engines? Or is there a way to connect my airpods to the glasses for better viewing?

Value is an odd thing isn’t it. Saying these are expensive (not compared to VisionPro of course) is a relative assessment. I think the average price of a new car today is about £20,000 or so. £20k. That seems to be seen as perfectly fine and normal by most people. £20,000. Only your house probably costs more if you own one. Do you hear people saying “Wow! How do you afford a VW Polo? They’re so expensive.” ? The most I’ve ever paid for a car (I’m in my 60s) is the one I bought last year - £1,400 for a FIAT Panda from 2005. Goes really nicely, economical, comfortable, quiet and does everything I need. That’s just saved me roughly £18,000 at least. Makes a VisionPro look cheap doesn’t it? As for a pair of these expensive glasses … Until 15 minutes ago I’d never heard of these, but for about 1/40th the price of a VW Polo I’d certainly consider them! Great review, thanks.

Link says unavailable 😢 but thanks for great review

Can you run them on power supply while connecting to a external device lime Asus Rog Ally?

How stable is side view mode with the xreal beam

Could you possibly do an update with some windows and android use if even that means going to mates house lol. Rog ally runs off windows and I heard there is no support of yet? I want to know if it’s true before I purchase

I wear progressive lenses. Will that work? Also can I read a book with these as an e-reader? As a musician I’d love to able to read music with them.

They do sell prescriptions on their website, I do not believe they have a progressive lens. However, if your current glasses are lower in profile you can wear these over your current pair. I worked at CES as a Brand Ambassador for XREAL and many people were able to wear these over their reading glasses.

what happens when you plug them into a device? are they plug and play?

Hi. Just got air2. Cannot load Nebula on macbook air. It says security issue. How did you load it?
