Hello and may I say great review, I have a pair and completely agree with you! if you put ear muffs on when watching a movie the sound is incredible!!!! Khris
Great review! I find that older ps3/Xbox era games and indies like dead cells look best on these. Mirrors edge also looked fantastic although made me a little motion sick!
horribly late to give a fix, but the 35% glasses shut off could be related to the usb select suspension settings, normally on different power modes, theyll have a usb pause feature that lowers power delivery, stops using them altogether, thinks the usb device is afk and therefore stops it to save battery. check all profiles and make sure usb selec suspension is off on all power profiles. learned ab it when i used a very slow read/write usb drive on my gpd win 2 and everytime the win fell asleep it would suspend the storage drive so steam would stop downloading, slow as in if i put downloads over .5mbps it would freeze/stutter a lot so as a 512gb it was a frequent issue
Hey, can you say how is it to use visual studio code with this glasses??? You said something about text, but as a text editor for coding can have some differences, can you test it and show us the result? I'm interested in buy one to replace monitors and to not need to work seated, but since I dont know how is the quality of the text in a text editor like visual studio code, then I didnt buy one yet.
Hi, Emily. Thank you kindly for your perspective on these glasses. Have you tried them with your iPad? I've heard the Rokid pairs best with Android devices, but would like to hear your thoughts. If yes, pros and any cons to using the glasses on iPad?
On the ipad mini, yes, its great! It needs to be an ipad with usb-c port. If you try to connect to a lightning device all the streaming services are blocked in the glasses. But it's fine on the ipad mini 6, very similar to an android experience. You just don't have access to the Rokid AR app (which is no great loss in my opinion!)
Yes and way less secure it wasn’t Apple that got their servers breached a few years ago and caused over 600,000 android users bank account information and credit card information to get stolen by hackers. Yes you’re open source where you can download anywhere you want but you also open yourself up to hackers because you’re not secure but cry as you may
Hello Emily.How are you? Does the android Rokid app allow you to resize the screen and put it in a fixed position (not following the head movements). Many thanks and nice review by the way
Honestly, it's beyond me how any company can justify selling such a low-quality product at the price they're asking. It feels like a complete rip-off. Save your money and invest in something more reliable. This product is a prime example of how far a company is willing to go to deceive customers with flashy marketing rather than delivering a functional, high-quality product.
I've been enjoying mine so far for couch gaming and believe it or not, I find these super helpful for souls-based games (Lies of P) that require a bit more timing and precision because having that screen in your face really allows you to be a bit more immersed in the game. one of my best purchases so far, would love to see how the Legion Glasses would fare against these next month.
Been scrolling for non-sponsored reviews of that device for ages. Got the exact same motivation to get them as a back-friendly monitor option mainly do work. Awesome I found your video. Thanks for the great review. you got my subscribe!
Old school gamer here (yes I remember and played pong) I love your channel! very refreshing straight forward videos with a great sense of humor. your videos have reignited an interest in games beyond the triple A releases. Look forward to all your videos. be well, play games, enjoy life.
I am watching this video on my own rokid! I think it is worth mentioning that the native resolution of these glasses is square or square ish so you can see more by changing the input to something like 1920*1920. Case in point, while mirroring from Fold 5, I can see more by opening my phone (candy bar to square)
Thank you for your excellent, well-produced, nonbias review. I've been waiting to buy a set of augmented-reality glasses, & these seem to be very good, but at the price & few limitations, & your excellent review I'm going to wait before I take the leap. Thank you
I found this to be an overall positive review, well done as well, so what was it that turned you away? I'm close to ordering, though I'll probably go through Amazon so that I can easily return if I'm disappointed.
Hey Emily. Thanks for the great video. Discovered your channel because of your Z Fold5 from an iPhone user perspective. I'm impressed. Love your practical perspective on devices like this one. It's obvious that you live and work with the tech you review. Subscribed! :)
When used in extended mode with your computer, can you fix the screen to stay next to your laptop screen, "pin it" there so that if you move your head the screen doesn't move with you?
Very interesting review, haven't heard other RUclipsrs stating that the resolution of the games would be that bad. Something to consider if you are into gaming with handheld devices. Btw, any chance that you will review the Z flip 5 as well? If yes, I would be very interested in your experience in combining it with the Rokid Max glasses.
Some question about Rokid max and 3DOF stable screens / multiple screens 1. Is there any special software compatible with Rokid max to support stable screen 3 DOF? 2. How many screens/windows can I open in parallel with this software? 3. Are the screen stable in space (3DOF) when I move my head with glasses? 4. Can I move the screens/windows farther/closer to me using the Rokid max? 5. Can I increase/decrease the size of each windows that is displayed in space? 6. Do I need a special strong graphic card in my windows PC/laptop?
Not at all - If you think about a Final Cut layout - the video view screen is about a quarter of my 16” MacBook screen anyway. I wouldn’t do any colour grading in the glasses (as I mentioned - the colour is much too warm to be accurate!) but chopping and building an edit it’s great 😁
I haven't, I think I'd find it quite nauseating to be honest! Perhaps the Xreal (with better 3dof options) might be better suited for those use cases 😊
Do you like them?? Please give a review I'd love to know. I want a pair idk which brand I'll buy. Are they any good for videogames or movies? And do you wear glasses? Idk if they work well for people who need glasses without the perscription @@t14dann18
An embarrassingly long time if I'm playing slay the spire whilst watching TV haha I've never experienced eye strain with them at all, but I guess the weight on the nose might come down to how used someone is to wearing glasses. It feels just like that - they're very light
For starters, why are you lying to people saying that even on the iPhone with the lightning port that it doesn’t work yes it does with the adapter again you would know this if you did a little more research before making a video saying all iPhones pretty much suck when it comes to this there’s enough dumb people out there that believe that their android phones are God and they would pray to them every day. Don’t make them any dumber. Yes, you can buy an adapter for the iPhone users with the lightning cord, but unfortunately, the iPhone 15 came out and they got USB-C and they work just fine as an android phone does so I think you should update your video.
Emily, activate 3dof in settings and you will be able to lock the screen in place so that you can move your head around while the screen does not follow you. So you can move your head to look at the edges instead of your moving your eyes…
you can't do that on any device except certain android devices... which I don't own unfortunately! It definitely doesn't work for Steam Deck, Macbook, ROG Ally, and iPad Mini, which are the devices I use it on
I plan on using them with my android Logitech G Cloud running Moonlight to connect to my PC with a rtx 4090 able to ultra settings, dlss, rayctracing, etc. Moonlight is nearly latency free streaming and the logitech g cloud is a great streaning device if you have a desktop gaming pc with nvidia gpu.
I recently purchased a product from Rokid and unfortunately, my experience has not been positive. Wearing the device often leads to feelings of dizziness which has greatly reduced its usability for me. Despite these issues, I’ve found it extremely challenging to initiate a return with Rokid. Even when a return is agreed upon, they do not provide a shipping label, which adds unnecessary difficulty and cost to the process. Furthermore, Rokid’s customer service has left much to be desired. They do not have an online customer service option, which results in communication strictly through email. This has led to delayed responses, and in some cases, no response at all. It’s been a disappointing experience overall and I would caution future potential customers about these issues. Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
Similar to VR sickness you can train your brain. That's why I buy from Amazon. I could have saved £45 by selecting the send from USA delivery option but unlike Amazon I actually care about being a bit green. Well ok mainly I just wanted them next day instead of 2 weeks. But come on Amazon you are one company, sort out your pricing country to country.
Hi Emily great video and I'm tempted to be honest but I have read that the 200 plus inch screen is a bit of a con and difficult to see. Is this correct? It doesn't come across on your video.

What a brilliant delivery. Your review was a pleasure to watch

Thank you for a very practical review.
Amazing presentation. You are good at making these videos. I think I need Rokid Maxes.
great, very good video, thank you very much for your reviews, it was very helpful to me

Oh man, I remember playing mirrors edge when it first came out it made me so sick but it was so fun haha

@@Emily_Lowrey Great to hear! Thank you for the reply. 😀
can these be used for transcription for hearing impaired persons?
Looks very interesting looking 4k Videos on thag would be very nice or playing Ps5
Say it: "Android is better" 😂😂😂😂
Ofc, I will always do that🗿😎

Get a HDMI to USB C adapter , you can play and charge at the same time .
cant you use a HDMI to USB C adapter that has power input, then connect that power input to a powerbank? then it will charge at the same time?
Hello Emily.How are you?
Does the android Rokid app allow you to resize the screen and put it in a fixed position (not following the head movements).

* Hold Volume Up on the glasses for 4 seconds to enable 1920x1200 resolution for Mac (slightly more vertical resolution)
I'm waiting on the Rokid next gen from Kickstarter... smile
Can you use a regular type C hub for video and charging at full power? - I do this with an external monitor so wondering if it may work
Been scrolling for non-sponsored reviews of that device for ages. Got the exact same motivation to get them as a back-friendly monitor option mainly do work. Awesome I found your video. Thanks for the great review. you got my subscribe!
This is the review I was looking for…. From end-user angles for work.
Thanks, great review, covered all the questions I had about using them long term in different situations.
Best opening line to a video! 😁 I'm really enjoying your channel, Emily. :)
Thanks so much! ☺️
Imagine if u use it for coursework or at uni ❤
Thank you for this crisp and very practical review. Might have saved me some bother, as I'd hoped to plug it into my iPhone for plane rides. No go.

I also now have a fold 5! It's such a great combo with the rokid's!
Marvelous review: Everyone else is on about games, I'm not a gamer, I wanted to know about typing so I could use my socials. Thankyou!

How long last the battery?
Great video Emily.
Great video!
Blinkers=horse blinders
Blinders 😂
The best review so far!, Answered my questions about eye fatigue and strain.👍
Had no idea these were even a thing... 🤯
Thanks! What's your IPD? Guessing you're pretty close to the sweet spot.
Will it be blurry for seniors who wears reading glasses and using the ROKID without the reading glasses ?
Great video Emily! So glad you're enjoying the Rokid's. You make some spot on points with this video 🔥
Thank you! Loved your Rokid vid ☺️
Thanks for your great review. Just a quick question. When you have the blackout cover can you still see through the glasses? Thanks
These things make anyone wearing them look like a villain.
They do 😂
Nice review Emily,did you watch any 3D movies on those glasses if yes how whas the experience ........
Can you make multiple monitors ?? I need at least 3 displays for my work so would love to use these and dump HUGE screens that surround me everyday 🤣
Any chance of a nreal/xreal video please ?? Don't know which ar glasses to buy lol
Hey Emily. Thanks for the great video. Discovered your channel because of your Z Fold5 from an iPhone user perspective. I'm impressed. Love your practical perspective on devices like this one. It's obvious that you live and work with the tech you review. Subscribed! :)
I did get my Rokid to work with my Switch. What I had to do to get it to work, was to launch the game before attaching the Rokid.
When used in extended mode with your computer, can you fix the screen to stay next to your laptop screen, "pin it" there so that if you move your head the screen doesn't move with you?
First!!🎉
Very interesting review, haven't heard other RUclipsrs stating that the resolution of the games would be that bad. Something to consider if you are into gaming with handheld devices.

You come across really well. Great review. One of the best I've watched. All the best with your RUclips channel.
I own a pair 😊 question lol connected them to my iPad and can’t get the sound to come through my Bluetooth headphones 😢
It’ll be awesome if you can review the XReal Air glass.
re: the text being small for work/writing - do you need to zoom in the font size (thus fitting less on the screen)?
Can you also write on your ipad and see the written screen simultaneously in AR using the glasses?
What! It's the camera girl! Weird I found you here.
This video was fire 🔥
Skipped all the bullshit and started spitting straight facts
Sigh the blue light filter kills it. Please do a review for the Viture glasses, too!
Some question about Rokid max and 3DOF stable screens / multiple screens
1. Is there any special software compatible with Rokid max to support stable screen 3 DOF?

6. Do I need a special strong graphic card in my windows PC/laptop?
Up i need the answer of this too
Thanks ! You answered pretty much all of my questions as an Apple user
You need red magic adapter. Plug in power and glasses never run out
How do you connect them to consoles? 😊
good job sis. i might buy it because of your good review.
Amazing video! We are so glad that you are enjoying our product! That means a lot to us.
Can you see through enough without the "blinkers" and do dishes or cooking or walking or jogging? Thanks.
You probably could but it might be a bit nauseating!
dont you find them low resolution for video editing???
Not at all - If you think about a Final Cut layout - the video view screen is about a quarter of my 16” MacBook screen anyway. I wouldn’t do any colour grading in the glasses (as I mentioned - the colour is much too warm to be accurate!) but chopping and building an edit it’s great 😁
Hey Emily!! Thank you for the review! Have you tried using them while walking, using the bike, or using an elliptical?
I haven't, I think I'd find it quite nauseating to be honest! Perhaps the Xreal (with better 3dof options) might be better suited for those use cases 😊
well, i bought it and i can confirm the nausea :) @@Emily_Lowrey

Nice honest review~ I'm curious how many hours can you use these glasses in one go without fatigue on your nose or your eyes?
An embarrassingly long time if I'm playing slay the spire whilst watching TV haha I've never experienced eye strain with them at all, but I guess the weight on the nose might come down to how used someone is to wearing glasses. It feels just like that - they're very light
I used them for a 5 hour flight and my eyes were buggin out for about ten minutes in the terminal after landing
