Xreal Air AR Glasses: Hands On

You guys did a better job reviewing these than tech youtubers did in videos twice as long. Thanks!

You forgot to mention that most people with a Samsung phone don't realize that their USBC port is also Display Port capable and anytime they plug a monitor into that port, it launches a full blown windows-like operating system called DEX. Pair that with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you have a full blown computing environment. You can also buy a handheld trackball mouse called Elecom Relacon that has built in back/fwd, and media controls, and it's the perfect companion for your ultra mobile Samsung/Xreal setup.

I love my pair. I mostly use them with my BT headphones to get a personal theater experience for Netflix when I'm on a plane.

thank you for showing what you can see through the glasses when you put them on the camera!

Thanks for the unbiased review! However, given when this video is coming out, I would have loved to see how things change with the xreal beam add on. It's $110 more but addresses a few concerns like the multiple adapters needed for the switch as well as holding the screen in place when the head is rotated. Would love to see a follow up when the beam is available to review!

Great review. Much appreciated that you also talked about some difficulties that you found.

Looks like a future "Standard" office gadget. The MINIMUM if you catch my drift

This is why I love technology; it’s like magic with endless possibilities to be done! I could definitely see how having an air screen would benefit in a lot of ways. It’s basically a monitor/display that’s no bigger than a couple of inches on your eyes projecting to give the wearer a much larger display for work and recreation. Once the tech is more commonplace and it’s been developed a bit more, I will be getting a pair most definitely. Great video

I've tried them, and they are the future, they are light, they have an open field of view and look cool. Of course, the software still needs a lot of work, but they are getting there. Also in terms of hardware, they have introduced Beam, which helps with both battery and connectivity. I'm amazed none of the big tech manufacturers haven't bought them yet.

Amazing review a lot more detailed then other videos I have watched. Keep it up

I love the design on the adapter, genius

I'm delighted I watched before placing an order! 😄

These are amazing but I’m really curious how this could affect our vision from long term use.

I discovered this device on Apple WWDC when the vision was introduced and i was dismayed by the $3499 price tag. I had the XReal Air’s at my house by the end of the week. The Air’s are a compliment to your phone the same way AirPods Pro’s are. The angle for this device to me is that you can have a 120 inch screen for whatever device you go and not attract the type of attention that the Apple Vision Pro will. If you’re a student in a dorm when paired with your phone and headphones these glasses turn into a 120 screen to watch your movies and not disturb your roommate while studying. Or if someone else is watching TV and you still wanted to view your content on a movie like screen. At $379 this is an ecosystem I can support and wouldn’t mind upgrading when they come out with new hardware. I’ve personally never considered mobile gaming until this, but it turns your phone into a decent game system on the go. I think Apple is missing out in millions by not making an affordable device like this that augments the user experience on the devices they already produce 🤷🏾‍♂️.

I'm more interested in the quality. I think this setup (glass just displays) is the best solution, and it's the other devices that are the issue. It would be nice to have an option for battery pass-through that would change both devices, though! I'm sure if something like this becomes popular, that would happen. It's all about the quality? Is there a screen door effect? What is it like with the front panel on. I care more about travelling than I do the fixed positions. Steam deck and Phone seem like the win. I wonder if DEX can work?

These glasses look really cool i might be considering buying a pair of them

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Nreal glasses. I take them everywhere!

Thank for bejng the only one to talk ab it as a work device

AR glasses are my dream come true, the only thing I need now is higher resolution and pixel density, can't wait for the future of AR glasses.

I do music production at home, I have a 32 inch monitor on my desk, but I would actually like to have another monitor, these glasses look like they would help with that if I wanted to open up another window from the software I use.
