You need to put affiliate links to the Xreal Air 2 Pro, and also to the Xreal Air 2 Pro/Beam bundle. Since yours is one of the best reviews I've seen, I want to make sure you get a little something when I purchase. Great review, ironically your use-case of riding the ebike is very similar to what I see as one of my own use-cases (I take my dog on long walks using my electric scooter, and thought having some Xreal AR glasses would be a great addition). Sure , I would also use it for more standard things (gaming, watching vids or reading in bed or lying on a couch, etc) but as far as I know you're the only reviewer who mentioned the 'on-the-move' use-case that I was so interested in. :) Again, thanks for the great review!
We need > 4K per eye Perfect FOV Integrated/Built in body Anchor mode Setting(Without having to buy the Beam Attachment) Body Anchor setting to work at 120hz instead of the current 72hz and with no additional latency Decent selection of picture quality settings I'm worried that 1080p per as on the Air 2 Pro won't look very sharp beyond 65"
Congrats man. I agree eith everything that you said. I currently have the Air but I'm going to wait for the next revision instead. Hopefully they will add 1440p support or so and have a greater FOV as well.
I have done the lens removal mod on my airs and when you use the new lens covers from the air2 without any lens shades on the glasses it comes out to the perfect tint for outside in the sun. Has the bottom lip to also block reflections when outside! Dunno about when riding a bike though since it blocks some of the bottom view, but walking or stationary is definitely nice to block the bottom reflections!
Highly liked your information about the glasses. I ordered them a week ago. EU shipping begins nov 13th. Where did you get that 3rd party shades cover from? They looking neat.
Thanks a lot for your video & review! I’ve ordered XReal Air 2 Pro’s with the Beam accessory, & I’m soo excited to it to be delivered, I can’t wait! Can I ask you where you got the after-market cover you have at 7:59 ?? I’d love 3rd party covers in different colors! That could be a big trend for everyone with smart/display/AR glasses. I’m super hyped & optimistic about the future of tech! Cannot wait to actually get mine & use it for my Switch & shows/movies/RUclips vids
I saw it on Amazon reviews,some people says that this version has smaller lenses and it makes it harder to see around the edges of the screen and harder for adjusting to their head and eyes, did it bother you that much or you didn't notice the difference? Thanks for the great video!
Yes, i did notice that as well. I think i mentioned it in the video. However, it doesn't really bother me because the glasses can tilt to different angles.
Hi, marrying. The Air 2 glasses are designed to accommodate a wide range of IPD, making them suitable for a large group of users. If you have a larger IPD, we recommend reaching out to our support team for assistance before making a purchase.
I want these glasses to do one thing and that is to allow me to have 3 virtual monitors inside the glasses for doing work on my computer. I want to be able to use a web browser and clearly see the text and images, I want to be able to use Google docs and clearly see the text and controls in the applications. Can you do a review of this functionality, please. Thanks!
I just got the xbeam device and I love it, i just wish it had some apps..such as a way to stream from chrome cast. Since it says it works with every device yet it doesn't work with the Google pixel phones. Also being able to stream Netflix or any of the major streaming apps. Since all you get is a black screen in the glasses because of DRM.
Not many youtubers tell you exactly what the beam is for, could you tell me what exactly i could use it for in terms of entertainment, since there's no apps like netflix, the different display types is cool but without being able to stream netflix it seems like there's not much use for it. Also the screen over 300 inches is that true?
You should get an update later today that will allow you to watch Netflix... you can also watch my last xreal video where i show netflix, prime, youtube on it.
@KingKola01 will they be releasing an update to allow support for a netlfix app or will it still require a apk or jailbreak file? I'll be sure to watch that video thank you, keep up the good work bro 👍
Netflix and Amazon prime are now there and you can load media onto the Beam but, depending on the file type you might not get sound on those files.@@danjb8406
I watched your video about the Beam and was disappointed by the poor hardware. How is it when running without the Beam? Does the screen wobble when walking or does it work well without the Beam?
I tried these glasses and I ended up sending them back because there's no pupillary distance settings. My eyes are wider than the center of the lens. I read a lot of comments saying that the edges of the screens are blurry and the reason why is? It's that their pupils are set wider than the center of the OLED panels. Why don't these companies make an adjustment for pupillary distance. My Quest 2 has an adjustment widen the lenses. I also tried the new Rayneo glasses and they are the same.
The v2 are an upgrade in all aspects, but the field of view. Its definitely a smaller field of view, i tested the v1 and v2. The field of view is maybe 43 degrees, compared to thr 46 degrees of the first gen. It will crop/blur the image right left and bottom. Some people cant notice it as much, because their eyes are closer together than the average person. Its also something common with people in china (where the glasses are designed). Which is why i believe xreal didnt notice the problem. They were testing it on people with smaller eye distance than the average person. This is why a bigger field of view is always better than a smaller field of view. The v2 are not 46 degrees field of view, they are maybe like 43 degrees, which makes the image more blurry for most people. Xreal wanted to cut cost, but in the end its making them lose customers. There are more negative complaints about the glasses on amazon and reddit, than positive ones.

many are complaining of tiny display. people on amazon are very much disappointed with these latest air 2. as they have smaller lens compared to previous one. is it true. ARE THESE COMFORTABLE TO WEAR FOR LONGER TIME ?
i got the xreal 2 from amazon and tested/compared it with the xreal 1. The xreal 1 have a bigger field of view, its beyond obvious and the right and left side of the image is very blurry, its impossible to focus on the whole image. Why didn't xreal use the same size field of view, it would have made these glasses a much better experience than the xreal 1. But the viewing angle makes these glasses unusable. Its a shame, because the colors are better, the brightness is better, the sound is better and the glasses are made with better materials. I have no idea how the testing team didnt notice how blurry the image is, because of the smaller field of view. I hope they fix this issue with the next batch, its 100% necessary to fix this issue. It will make them lose so many sales, because people will be returning the glasses, because the image will hurt their eyes. Im returning the xreal v2 now and i will keep the xreal v1, until they make an upgrade with the same field of view.
Hey I've got a fold 5 was just wandering if you can wireless charge the phone while having the xreal air plugged into the phone? Just ordered the older xreal air as I was told that the newer xreal air 2 become very blurry if your ipd ( distance between the pupils of your eyes) is 70 mm and above. Apparently the older xreal air supports a bigger distance between the pupils. My ipd is exactly 70mm so fingers crossed..
Great question, but yes you do need to answer it via your phone or smartwatch is you have one, then you can talk normally through the glasses. Audio quality is quite good for calls.
@@KingKola_ Bummer, could be a real drawback. I usually make coffee for customers while clicking my bose frame for hands free call. Answering incoming call through voice might solve this hopefully
It is not full color right? Just wonder how is this one compared to the new Vuzix Ultralite S AR smart glasses that just won the 2024 CES award in the Wearable Technologies and Sports & Fitness categories.
Can you do that "navigation in the corner of the screen" (like you did on your bike) just while connected to the phone or do you need the xbeam for that? I have the z fold 5.
I don't use the beam. I only use my phone in dex mode that way my phone screen can be off. If you're gonna do that, i recommend changing the wallpaper of your samsung dex to solid black that way you can see through it.
@@KingKola_ Thanks that's great advice. Pondering if I should get the xreal air 2 or just buy the original xreal air 2nd hand as for what I understood the upgrades are minimal except for the brightness being a bit higher... Will the original xreal air be bright enough to do that navigation thing you did outdoors? I would love to use that setup on my motorcycle just to be able to keep my eyes on the road instead of having to keep looking down at my navigation screen..
@adarshr8670 yes its bright enough, however it might not give as pleasant of an experience on a motorcycle because at that speed the mind will be blowing in your eyes, unless you wear a full face helmet with wind shield over it. My ebike only goes up to 40mph.
@KingKola01 To have the navigation gps on the side when you were out, did u have to carry Both the beam (to move the display) and your phone connected (for the gps)?
@@KingKola_ Thanks for the reply. I am getting my air2 pros soon and was thinking to taking it outside like you for nav walking, and wanted the display on the side. So with the dex, you could put the picture to the side? Is that w nebulla android? if you have a pic or short vid, that'd be great. I saw Katsuya was able to put multimonitor to move them with some shortcut app, just didn't know u could do taht to move nav app to the side with dex. I have a mac, so can't use dex, so don't really know the dex experience. Thanks

@@kooldude2ful Seen so many reviews confirming the same! Bought an xreal 1 a few days ago because of it.. Bought myself a viture usb c adapter for my steam deck and waiting for the beam to go cheap so I can connect the deck to it and charge both the deck and the beam at the same time (hopefully). Prescription lenses arriving this weekend too.. Even though I bought the xreal 1’s for £240 new via Amazon, all these bills are building up. My serious worry, the air 2 ultra’s will have the same issue as the 2’s with the blurred edges (although better fov app).. Feels like they might be setting themselves up to fail
I don't use prescription, so it's hard to say, but from what i've heard from other who do, it works very well. The included prescription lenses can easily to adjusted to your eyes.
I wear prescription glasses with my Xreal air 2 and they do work but not very well. It largely depends on the thickness of your lenses and the design of your frames. And there may be a danger of scratching them on the air 2's lenses. The blank lenses that come with the air 2 are to be given to an optician to reglaze in your particular prescription. This varies in price. In the UK it is £95 plus. I have ordered a pair only because I know with the Quest 2 and Pico 4 they do make a world of difference in viewing quality. I hope the air 2's will be as good. IMHO the Beam needs a lot of work. In the UK you cannot install the nebula app even sideloading. It is slow and that curser drives me mad. To an observer, I can be seen waving my arms around in a huge arc trying the get the thing in the right place, very frustrating. I see reviews stating a 330-inch screen!!! Where? I get a screen that is similar to my monitor if it were placed just in front of me. And that is about 120 and it does not feel as if you have a massive TV in your lounge. So far, I can only see this to be of use for travelling. And they do stand out, they are not like regular sunglasses. One day they will but not today. I have until the end of January 2024 to play around with these but unless the forthcoming lenses do make a world of difference, they will be going back.
Colors seem better calibrated on the Air 2. On paper, the Air 2s are better as far as display, but honestly, there is not much noticeable difference as far as sharpness.
I have the rokid max, and i hate having the that on it as it makes the edges more blurry and easily makes the glasses go out of focus. This experience seems common as many youtbubers have said the same thing, even those who ware glasses. However if they can fix that, it'll be quite nice to have.

Hi, thepessimisticgamer. Could you please give me more details about the issue? Like you are using Air 1 or Air 2? What devices do you use with the XREAL glasses?
Yes, i did notice that as well. I think i mentioned it in the video, however it doesn't really bother me because the glasses can tilt to different angles. Plus if you are using them in spatial mode you won't notice at all.
@@KingKola_ but in screen mirroring, are the xreal version 1 a lot less blurry and more visible, than the version 2? Like the edges and the image. Because most people use them for mirroring and not with the xreal beam. So if the mirroring experience with the version 2, is worse than the version 1, this means that its basically a downgrade when it comes to imagine clarity while screen mirroring.

@@XREAl_Tech_Support well what can you do if i have a wide IPD? Do you have different versions of the xreal air 2? Because people have been complaining about them being more blurry around all edges, than the version 1. The viewing lens itself is said to be smaller, even though its adversed as having the same field of view as the xreal air version 1.

@@ES-ll5uv Thanks for helping me not regret the decision! lol I dont know anyone who is a nerd like me and uses extra screen style glasses so im winging it
@@Gurule its amazing technology, but here is my advice. The arms in the v1 are known to crack near where the height adjustment is. You might need to use tape or shrink wrap to prevent that (you can google search the issue). Also, this is very important. Never put it on maximum brightness in video games. These are OLED they will cause a permanent damage burn in effect on the screen. If you watch movies, than you can put it on full brightness. However, if you play games, reduce the brightness by 3 notches. I tested this and it causes burn in on the 3 highest brightness settings. Trust me, you need to do this or you will damage your glasses. This is only for games or editing type of computer work, because if there is any static images on screen for a long period of time, it will cause burn in at any of the top 3 levels of brightness. This is the problem with oled screens, but the glasses are game changer when it comes to gaming, especially on handheld pc.
I paid five hundred for the glasses.I paid five hundred for accessories.I couldn’t get anything to work or hookup to anything.I returned them and all of that stuff.
You should've done some research, or at least watch some videos before purchasing. Chances are its user error if you couldn't get anything to work. I have videos on how to connect to some of the most common devices.
Google Xreal discord, it will take you to a link to join. It's an online community where a bunch of people solve issues, figure things out, and help others in relation to xreal's products.
Great comparison video. Thanks for being real and not just reading the pamphlet like so many other youtubers have with this product.

Why didn't xreal use the same size field of view, it would have made these glasses a much better experience than the xreal 1. But the viewing angle makes these glasses unusable. Its a shame, because the colors are better, the brightness is better, the sound is better and the glasses are made with better materials.
I have no idea how the testing team didnt notice how blurry the image is, because of the smaller field of view. I hope they fix this issue with the next batch, its 100% necessary to fix this issue. It will make them lose so many sales, because people will be returning the glasses, because the image will hurt their eyes.
Im returning the xreal v2 now and i will keep the xreal v1, until they make an upgrade with the same field of view.
Hey I've got a fold 5 was just wandering if you can wireless charge the phone while having the xreal air plugged into the phone?
Just ordered the older xreal air as I was told that the newer xreal air 2 become very blurry if your ipd ( distance between the pupils of your eyes) is 70 mm and above. Apparently the older xreal air supports a bigger distance between the pupils. My ipd is exactly 70mm so fingers crossed..
Yes I have a fold 3 and wireless charging bank I use with the Xreal glasses
Do you think the darkest shade on the 2 pro is the same as just putting the black cover over the 1 &2?
I'm not sure as i don't have the Pro
Quick question Kola, how does it handle incoming and outgoing phone call? , do you need to interact with your phone when taking a call ?
Great question, but yes you do need to answer it via your phone or smartwatch is you have one, then you can talk normally through the glasses. Audio quality is quite good for calls.
@@KingKola_ t yf
@@KingKola_ Bummer, could be a real drawback. I usually make coffee for customers while clicking my bose frame for hands free call. Answering incoming call through voice might solve this hopefully
It is not full color right? Just wonder how is this one compared to the new Vuzix Ultralite S AR smart glasses that just won the 2024 CES award in the Wearable Technologies and Sports & Fitness categories.
This is full color, it crushes those. Although they're in different categories. Check out my previous videos, i showed how they work.
@@KingKola_ By full color do you mean with the glasses on you can see your surroundings in full color?
Can you post a link to these accessories?
It was sold out last time i checked, but here www.etsy.com/listing/1366189427/xreal-nreal-air-3d-printed-clip-on-style
Can you do that "navigation in the corner of the screen" (like you did on your bike) just while connected to the phone or do you need the xbeam for that? I have the z fold 5.
I don't use the beam. I only use my phone in dex mode that way my phone screen can be off. If you're gonna do that, i recommend changing the wallpaper of your samsung dex to solid black that way you can see through it.
@@KingKola_ Thanks that's great advice. Pondering if I should get the xreal air 2 or just buy the original xreal air 2nd hand as for what I understood the upgrades are minimal except for the brightness being a bit higher... Will the original xreal air be bright enough to do that navigation thing you did outdoors? I would love to use that setup on my motorcycle just to be able to keep my eyes on the road instead of having to keep looking down at my navigation screen..
@adarshr8670 yes its bright enough, however it might not give as pleasant of an experience on a motorcycle because at that speed the mind will be blowing in your eyes, unless you wear a full face helmet with wind shield over it. My ebike only goes up to 40mph.
@@KingKola_ 40 mph is wild fast. Most class 2 max out at 28 mph. Seems you have more of an electric moped at those speeds.
Did anyone face issue using ar space section of the nebula app? Its freezing when i open on z fold 5
Dude, they can do 3d video also where the first can't
The first one could as well
@KingKola01 To have the navigation gps on the side when you were out, did u have to carry Both the beam (to move the display) and your phone connected (for the gps)?
No beam connection, everything is running off my phone in dex mode so i can keep my phone screen off.
@@KingKola_ Thanks for the reply.
I am getting my air2 pros soon and was thinking to taking it outside like you for nav walking, and wanted the display on the side.
So with the dex, you could put the picture to the side? Is that w nebulla android? if you have a pic or short vid, that'd be great.
I saw Katsuya was able to put multimonitor to move them with some shortcut app, just didn't know u could do taht to move nav app to the side with dex. I have a mac, so can't use dex, so don't really know the dex experience. Thanks
I just got the Xreal 2 Pro. Mine are blurry on the edges. Other than that I love them!

What mic are you using as you ride the bike? Its only picking up your voice and all background noise is non-existent.
Here, i made a video about it before ruclips.net/video/Ks6dMFoD7PM/видео.htmlsi=LRoqJMUVE61hH35q
Is the smaller screen and blurred edges at the sides of the screens an issue compared to the Xreal Air 1?
For me, it absolutely is. Unfortunately! Planning to return the air 2 pros and keep the 1s. I hope Kola will comment on this 😊
@@kooldude2ful Seen so many reviews confirming the same! Bought an xreal 1 a few days ago because of it.. Bought myself a viture usb c adapter for my steam deck and waiting for the beam to go cheap so I can connect the deck to it and charge both the deck and the beam at the same time (hopefully). Prescription lenses arriving this weekend too.. Even though I bought the xreal 1’s for £240 new via Amazon, all these bills are building up. My serious worry, the air 2 ultra’s will have the same issue as the 2’s with the blurred edges (although better fov app).. Feels like they might be setting themselves up to fail
@Kola Where do you buy the lens cover replacement for the Xreal?
It was sold out last time i checked, but here www.etsy.com/listing/1366189427/xreal-nreal-air-3d-printed-clip-on-style
Can you say anything about how they work/fit with perscription lenses?
I don't use prescription, so it's hard to say, but from what i've heard from other who do, it works very well. The included prescription lenses can easily to adjusted to your eyes.
I wear prescription glasses with my Xreal air 2 and they do work but not very well. It largely depends on the thickness of your lenses and the design of your frames. And there may be a danger of scratching them on the air 2's lenses. The blank lenses that come with the air 2 are to be given to an optician to reglaze in your particular prescription. This varies in price. In the UK it is £95 plus. I have ordered a pair only because I know with the Quest 2 and Pico 4 they do make a world of difference in viewing quality. I hope the air 2's will be as good. IMHO the Beam needs a lot of work. In the UK you cannot install the nebula app even sideloading. It is slow and that curser drives me mad. To an observer, I can be seen waving my arms around in a huge arc trying the get the thing in the right place, very frustrating. I see reviews stating a 330-inch screen!!! Where? I get a screen that is similar to my monitor if it were placed just in front of me. And that is about 120 and it does not feel as if you have a massive TV in your lounge. So far, I can only see this to be of use for travelling. And they do stand out, they are not like regular sunglasses. One day they will but not today. I have until the end of January 2024 to play around with these but unless the forthcoming lenses do make a world of difference, they will be going back.
The shapness and qualific of screens is the same? Air 1 vs Air 2
Colors seem better calibrated on the Air 2. On paper, the Air 2s are better as far as display, but honestly, there is not much noticeable difference as far as sharpness.
Hi, andren. The display performance of the Air 2 has been enhanced due to the implementation of a new optic engine and color calibration.
Dollars for myopic vision like have they have on the rokid max vr glasses
I have the rokid max, and i hate having the that on it as it makes the edges more blurry and easily makes the glasses go out of focus. This experience seems common as many youtbubers have said the same thing, even those who ware glasses. However if they can fix that, it'll be quite nice to have.
Could anyone tell us please will there be a normal picture with glasses at an IPD of 70 mm?
The v2 are an upgrade in all aspects, but the field of view. Its definitely a smaller field of view, i tested the v1 and v2. The field of view is maybe 43 degrees, compared to thr 46 degrees of the first gen. It will crop/blur the image right left and bottom.
Some people cant notice it as much, because their eyes are closer together than the average person. Its also something common with people in china (where the glasses are designed). Which is why i believe xreal didnt notice the problem. They were testing it on people with smaller eye distance than the average person.
This is why a bigger field of view is always better than a smaller field of view. The v2 are not 46 degrees field of view, they are maybe like 43 degrees, which makes the image more blurry for most people. Xreal wanted to cut cost, but in the end its making them lose customers. There are more negative complaints about the glasses on amazon and reddit, than positive ones.
I suggest you wait until they fix this issue and give the v2 the same field of view as the v1.
So u think I should keep my air 1s??
It all depends. I mention what's different about the new ones in the video. So if the changes are big enough for you, yes, if not then no.
mine are blurry fuzzy on edges. crosstalk/ghosting is this normal?
On the Air 2?
Hi, thepessimisticgamer. Could you please give me more details about the issue? Like you are using Air 1 or Air 2? What devices do you use with the XREAL glasses?
Bro can you post the link for the after market light cover ?
It was sold out last time i checked, but here www.etsy.com/listing/1366189427/xreal-nreal-air-3d-printed-clip-on-style
I heard that the edges are more blurry with the xreal air 2 vs the xreal 1.
Is this true? Please answer
Yes, i did notice that as well. I think i mentioned it in the video, however it doesn't really bother me because the glasses can tilt to different angles. Plus if you are using them in spatial mode you won't notice at all.
@@KingKola_ but in screen mirroring, are the xreal version 1 a lot less blurry and more visible, than the version 2? Like the edges and the image.
Because most people use them for mirroring and not with the xreal beam.
So if the mirroring experience with the version 2, is worse than the version 1, this means that its basically a downgrade when it comes to imagine clarity while screen mirroring.
Hi, ES. The Air 2 glasses are designed to accommodate a wide range of IPD, making them suitable for a large group of users. If you have a larger IPD, we recommend reaching out to our support team for assistance before making a purchase.
@@XREAl_Tech_Support well what can you do if i have a wide IPD? Do you have different versions of the xreal air 2? Because people have been complaining about them being more blurry around all edges, than the version 1. The viewing lens itself is said to be smaller, even though its adversed as having the same field of view as the xreal air version 1.

@@ES-ll5uv Thanks for helping me not regret the decision! lol
I dont know anyone who is a nerd like me and uses extra screen style glasses so im winging it
@@Gurule its amazing technology, but here is my advice. The arms in the v1 are known to crack near where the height adjustment is. You might need to use tape or shrink wrap to prevent that (you can google search the issue).
Also, this is very important. Never put it on maximum brightness in video games. These are OLED they will cause a permanent damage burn in effect on the screen. If you watch movies, than you can put it on full brightness. However, if you play games, reduce the brightness by 3 notches. I tested this and it causes burn in on the 3 highest brightness settings. Trust me, you need to do this or you will damage your glasses.
This is only for games or editing type of computer work, because if there is any static images on screen for a long period of time, it will cause burn in at any of the top 3 levels of brightness.
This is the problem with oled screens, but the glasses are game changer when it comes to gaming, especially on handheld pc.
Whats the screen size on the air 2 is it the same as the original?
Yes, same as the original.
@@KingKola_ interesting cus other youtubers say the air 2 has a bigger screen
@@prettyboiiartistic they're wrong.
www.xreal.com/air2
Its the same exact size, but its more blurry around the edges than the v1.
Stick to the v1 until they fix this massive issue.
Waiting for Apple to make something like this.
Are there many versions of Bean?
Just one
I paid five hundred for the glasses.I paid five hundred for accessories.I couldn’t get anything to work or hookup to anything.I returned them and all of that stuff.
The glasses and accessories combined is 500, if you spent a grand you were had.
You should've done some research, or at least watch some videos before purchasing. Chances are its user error if you couldn't get anything to work. I have videos on how to connect to some of the most common devices.
Is the xreal 2 still wired?
yes, no software or battery in the headset
wait a min
i know that shirt
Why's there so much police
Feels like you are wearing them too high…
Nope, that's just how they sit depending on whichever nose pad you choose for your comfort.
Looks like Stevie wonder
