XREAL Air 2 Pro AR Glasses, 130" Spatial Display, 120Hz, 46° FOV, TÜV Eye Comfort, Plug & Play – Compatible with iPhone 16/15 (excl. e-series), Steam Deck, Mac & PC, Android with a USB-C DP port

Been keeping an eye on these for a while and when it dropped in the Prime Day sale, I just had to pick one up. Been wanting one of these to use with my Steamdeck as love the system but loved the idea of playing on a big screen at 120hz and not have to keep staring down. Simple to setup and easy to use, simple plug and play and you are gaming on a cinema size screen. Going to pick up the Beam as well as want to use on my PC and gaming consoles. Yet to try the functionality of the glasses for work related tasks but with ease of Bluetooth keyboard, mouse etc I would think this would be a great setup for people travelling whilst working.

The clarity and sharp image quality is outstanding on these Xreal Air 2 pro AR glasses when using them with the Beam pro. I’m new to the AR glasses scene but the main reason I bought this set up was to take 3D photographs and videos with the Beam pros dual 50mp camera then view them back via the Air 2 glasses, the images look awesome and sharp with vivid colours, it has auto focus which is a big help when taking 3D images, you can move and enlarge the virtual screen to anywhere you want and I find it quite surreal watching a film placed against a wall or whilst sitting in the garden! ( you can also view Amazon prime video Netflix etc all via the app from the beam pro to these AR glasses) I have also watched 3D blu ray movies on the beam pro/Air 2’s and again the image quality is outstanding ! The glasses has 3 dimmable modes ranging from almost full black out to almost clear which helps with viewing the images or videos in different situations or locations. The set up was kind of ok as I let the beam pro copy the apps from my Google 6 pro then after the usual setting up of Wi-Fi etc I was ready to go after a quick update for the glasses after connecting them for the first time I love these glasses for the uses listed above so if you are into this kind of thing I can whole heartedly recommend the Xreal Air 2 Pro! Update... 4 months on and while I'm still happy with my purchase of the glasses and Beam pro for watching TV and using the 3d camera the Beam pro & glasses have had ...zero..... ZERO UPDATES to the beam Pro / Xreal 2 Pro's ! There are quite a few niggles and bugs that are present and I would have thought Xreal would be constantly addressing them but I feel they are too focused on persuing their new products to care about existing ones. So please be aware that when buying into this medium you will be stuck with a product that wmught not progress any further than the initial update.

I bought this review because I liked the design and the appeal and was super excited to try an immersive mixed reality experience boy was I wrong. Firstly, the product is nice. Build quality is excellent and it feels like a high quality product. However, there’s barely any instructions out the box. Tried to power on? No idea how. Then I realised this device doesn’t have a battery which is strange considering earlier versions did. Immediately connected to my phone and it came to life but first thing I noticed was that despite visual quality being pretty good and clarity and brightness were there. The device just wasn’t rendering anything clearly. So much noise, artefacts. Tried several apps and bumped up 4k on YouTube and because it’s limited to the casted size of the device the quality was terrible. I then tried it with the Beam which the device should have come with and what a waste of time that was. I had a faint smell of burning and heat from the device. It was incredibly laggy, did updates and all it had was Prime and Netflix. Tried to sign into Prime took over 20 minutes due to the incredibly laggy keyboard. Once in, the quality was terrible. Again, so much artefacts on the screen. The quality was terrible. The screen also started drifting and the navigation was terrible I was pressing all these buttons 50x to get different things. Overall, the device was terrible. Made me feel sick with the screen drifting despite supposedly in a lock. This product is not designed for those buying it on Amazon. They expect you know how to use the product without a simple guide. Who thought this through??

Good for watching films laying down. Not much good for computing, despite what the YouTube reviews say. It's a great concept, it just doesn't have enough resolution or spacial stability to work properly yet. Yes, you can show multiple computer monitors in 3D space, but it's not stable, text is hard to read due to lower resolution, and the software on PC and android is very buggy. If they were cheaper, I'd keep a set for watching movies - but paying this amount just isn't justified.

Use every day grate for gaming on ps5 and steam deck

I didn't know what to expect but with prime I thought I can return them if they are rubbish. I was disappointed slightly at first because I didn't have the beam and the corners are blurry and the whole experience isn't great just with a phone but if you add the beam it is a game changer. The screen is clear in all angles if you use body anchor mode on the beam and it gets rid of motion sickness that I get with vr, just feels like a static tv to me. I loaded all my favourite apps on to the beam and now I use it at dinner to get some r&r that I never used to get. These will be great on a flight or train journey with a few hours of downloads and a battery pack. I do suggest you only try these with the beam or you may be disappointed like I was at first and like other reviews have said, the edges are blurry, that is without the beam and I nearly returned them if it wasn't for amazon prime

In general is good product, have bit flaws but not a big issue. Only down side for me is I can not connect direct with Switch to play. Design is clean and elegant, really comfortable to wear, it got bit heated in front when I had it for 20 mins. Sound quality is good, nice immersion with the sound. But not full immersion for the eye sight.

I have been looking for VR/AR glasses for a while now, but was not sure the technology was mature enough for regular use. I came accross the XReal Air 2 Pro a while back, but thought they were too expensive and my previous phone did not support USB C DisplayPort. My new phone, Xiaomi 14 does support USB C DP, so I thought I can give these glasses a try. I connected my phone directly to the glasses (no Beam, etc), else the cost does not justify it (at least for me). PROS - Available in UK, so no need to order from Aliexpress/China. - Not cheap, but not too expensive either. (Hopefully Xiaomi, Google, Samsung, etc launch similar glasses and the price comes down.) - First impressions, seems like good build quality - Simple to use, as long as you have phone with USB-C DP mode support. - Sound quality is suprisingly okay for home use - Bright and resonably sharp screen (Full HD only). CONS - Considering its best usecase is watching videos, none of the video streaming apps (Amazon Prime, Paramout Plus, Netflix) allowed video streaming over USBC DP, due to DRM protection being enabled by these apps. Note, it plays some services via browser - YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, but not Pramount. But you can't download videos to watch offline when flying/commuting on train in a browser, so this is such a deal breaker and the primary reason for 2 stars. - Light going in from the sides, make viewing difficult / strenuous. This happens even after putting the plastic cover thing. - The dimmer fuction on the glasses is a bit of a gimic, the screen is better to view with the plastic cover. - Too many functions loaded into the same buttons, its confusing. I kept getting it wrong and the screen would switch off instead, which was fixed by plugging the usb cable out and in again. Poor UX. - Lack of seprate buttons for volume, could be on the left arm. - Could not get any of the XReal apps to work, so was unable to try any AR functionality, which is suprising for a AR product. - The glasses are essential just for screen mirroring your phone, game console or computer. - The actual screen is not as wide/big as I thought it would be. - No app to control the settings on device (brightness, 2D/3D mode, volume, firmware updates, etc). MISC - Would be nice if XReal/Google had an app which you could install to check if your device supports USB C DP, before purchasing the glasses, to reassure buyers. - Not tried connecting to game console as yet, so can't comment on that.
