    These have been on my radar for awhile, thanks for sharing some user impressions. Stationary mode is a must for me... so many times games put important HUD information in the corners of the screen, and it's easier to see those corners if that display stays in the same virtual spot. It's exciting to see this segment develop! I think someday these will be as essential as smartphones, or maybe smartphones will change in a way they are dependent on XR glasses.

    I have the Nreal Airs (original model) and I think they're exceptional. It really depends on your use case scenarios, though. An adapter is needed to be able to play any system with HDMI out. So if you have a Nintendo Switch you have to run it out of the dock to the adapter and then from the adapter out via USB-C to the glasses. It's not a very elegant solution. If you're only playing something from a phone or a tablet to not bother your partner in bed at night, it's much cleaner. Really it just comes down to what you're going to use them for. The video quality is very good in my opinion, but the audio, like Russ says, is lacking. So Bluetooth headphones or earbuds is a must.

    As someone with the original XReal air, I can tell you a big reason for the blockers on the X2s on the bottom is almost certainly feedback that there is a reflection against the lenses from things below you, especially in movie scenes where the screen gets dark. I'm watching Thor: The Dark World right now and wishing I had bottom blockers.

    I have both the xreal (nreal 1) and Viture glasses. I ended up using the Viture more often for 3 reasons: 1) it has a diopter adjustment per eye so i can wear them to bed without contacts or special lenses 2) it has the dimming feature that you like about the xreal pro, 3) it has a convenient usb c splitter that allows me to charge the steamdeck or ally while using it (that didnt work with the xreal glasses). My wife ended up liking the Xreal glasses because the tilt adjustment fit her face better. I think the image and brightness was also slightly better on the Xreal. The 120hz is a great new feature. I wonder if it is VRR too like the Ally.

    If the Beam wasn't so expensive or they found a way to incorporate those modes into the glasses, I'd be interested. With fixed mode as a default setting, it's hard to justify the price. It's a real shame because I would 100% pay that price if there were ways to reduce the motion sickness in the initial costs.

    I have a competitor to these, and those light guards at the bottom id wager are less a bout blocking light to make it darker, and more about blocking the reflections you’ll get from your shirt and the area in front of your stomach / chest when using them. When using my glasses, in a bright room, if you are wearing bright colors, you will see it reflected in the optics that are meant to sent the screen to your eyes. Test with and without them looking for that reflection, and im sure itll. Be easily noticeable. The guard appears to be just long enough to prevent that issue.

    I’ve had a pair of Nreal Air glasses for about a year now, and they have been great with Steam Deck/ipad mini/(and recently) iPhone 15. I bought the Beam when it first came out and have used it a couple of times but I haven’t personally found the added functionality to be worth the hassle of an extra device to plug in. I also picked up a set of Viture glasses (which I didn’t like as much as Xreal) and the Viture dock (which worked great as a mobile battery and portable Switch dock). I’m not sure if I can justify another set of glasses but the electro chromatic dimming of the Pros does sound great.

    I have the original air glasses and love them for flights. I don’t really use them anywhere else though. That being said I rarely play games on them because I don’t want to give up VRR on my Ally display. I mostly watch movies with them. I love the pro dimming feature but I don’t think this is enough to upgrade. The 120hz is nice but without vrr it seems kinda pointless for me. The improved audio wouldn’t matter to me either since any time I’m using these I wouldn’t want them to be audible to others around me. If I was buying new and didn’t have v1 I’d get the pro model though.

    6:51 - The bottom guard likely is not there to stop light. It's there to stop reflections on the lenses from what is below you because the lenses are at a 45 degree angle.

    I have the 1st gen, and yea, they work p well for that ( though there is a bit of tradeoff, given some ghosting and slight edge clarity issues)--certainly much better than something like the Quest 2. But that's only if you want 1 big monitor that moves with your head. Their software for multi-monitor head-tracking is really limiting (e.g. doesn't exist on Windows to my knowledge, and essentially only allows you to use browser windows on Android)

    Oh wow-didn’t realize that these were coming out. Picked up a pair of the original XReal Airs this past summer along with a Beam. Can confirm that the visual experience is pretty impressive, even on the original XReal Airs, but the Beam experience has been disappointing for me. Streaming media-one of the primary reasons I invested in the Beam-is a crap shoot and often doesn’t work over Air Play on my iPad or iPhone, your mileage may vary. The experience as a direct connect personal monitor with just the glasses, however-XReal Airs to Steam Deck, for example-is fantastic. I set my glasses to the Deck’s resolution-1280x800 so as not to have to fuss with any settings changes-and it’s still an incredible experience. All that said, they still feel like an expensive novelty most of the time, but a fun little toy none the less. Totally agree with Russ’ conclusion-waiting may be best, but if you have some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket, the glasses can be a fun way to experience your content and gaming, though I’d skip the Beam until they work out the kinks for media streaming.

    @@jimdoom2276 it’s not so much about altering the resolution on the glasses as it is simply changing the output resolution on the device that you’re using. So, on the Steam Deck, for example, I just make sure the game is running at 1280x800 instead of 1920x1080, within SteamOS settings and/or game settings. Think of the Airs as a monitor.

    @@Boogie_the_cat hahaha to each his or her own, my friend. Re-read my comment, though, I’m not particularly high on these (or any other) such glasses, nor am I implying any PC gaming snobbery. If I were such a snob, I probably wouldn’t be playing games on the Steam Deck in the first place, would I? Lowly frame rates and diminished settings seem contrary to the point of such snobbery, at which point higher resolution, expensive glasses will not make up the difference. For my use case, the Airs have some novelty as a way to magnify on-screen elements otherwise difficult to distinguish with aging eyes squinting at a handheld screen, but as you allude to, that’s a tough sell at the current price. As I said in my comment-these are “a fun little toy,” and “waiting may be best,” essentially I only recommend the glasses “if you have some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket.” Does that read like a series of justifications or more a sober, realistic assessment for someone who might be in the same situation? I suppose I lean on the allegedly good graces of my audience to make that determination, but as to my need for affirmation, I have made the purchase and couldn’t care less at this point whether it was wise or not. The money is spent and I don’t waste away time worrying over whether I should have or shouldn’t have … that’s an exercise better spent prior to purchase, don’t you think? All that said, I love the rhyme time at the end of your comment, well done!

    Kind of want these but kinda feel they skimped on the actual glasses to push the Xbeam which I wouldn't want to spend that extra cash on so I don't know, think I'll just wait some more. No mention of battery life or simultaneous charging kind of makes me wary too. Would I need a Red Magic or Rokid hub adapter to do so? That was one of the main reasons I didn't bother with any AR glasses. That should come included.

    My problem with nreal/xreal is mainly the software. The glasses are literally useless as an ar device (which is what is suposed to be). They are great as an extra portable screen or to use it with dex in Samsung, but appart from that you can literally do nothing useful. And even worse, they have abandoned the nreal lights completely. All their original customers that bought the lights because they actually were ar glasses now have a very pretty paperweight. Even worse since now we even can't use dex, which was my main use of the glasses.
