How is this an "independent content" review if it’s sponsored by the company making the product? It should be obvious to people that this is sponsored, but I’m pretty sure that many don’t even notice. Please make it more obvious in the future.
I am a faithful Xreal user, since the previous company called Nreal. The review is valid and relevant. It's not like a marketing gimmick or ads. I use Xreal Air 2 for writing essays, using my mac, with the ability to multiple display, usually I use two displays, the first one for writing, and the other for reference, scientific journals. I even give a chrismast present to my nephew who's studying now for bachelor degree. And yes, it's good for entertainment as well, I bring in for travelling, I won't need any TV provided by the hotels. And of course, in airplanes and train in long journeys, I travel once a month by plane, and this glasses serves the purpose of entertainment. For me, it's better than Meta Quest.
When talking about perceived screen size, it's critical to provide how for away the screen is. For example, "120 inches at 10 feet away" (for TV references) or "32:9 ratio screen of 45 inches sitting 24 inches away" (for monitors).
Exactly. I absolutely can't stand the marketing bs these companies do. You could take your XReals outside, look at a wall across 3 blocks down, and now you have a 100 foot screen.
@@jamesmoss9134 It's exactly what they're doing. Notice how none of these videos reference that. They just say it's a 200" screen. So people just imagine that in their minds to mean whatever they want it to mean, then get the glasses and realize it's not even close to that. They're not being honest.
I am glad I didn't buy the previous model. This is such a big upgrade. However I'll wait for the pro model. Meanwhile work on the prescription lenses. Possibly do a new eye test before. Thank you Brian. Happy New Year!
It's unbelievable how ignorant people in the comment section are about VR/AR optics. Resolution DOES NOT MATTER when it comes to these displays, they aren't monitors. Pixels per degree matters (PPD) is what matters. The XReal One has a 50deg horizontal FOV and a PPD of 40. The Apple Vision Pro has a PPD of 35. You cannot discern pixels on the XReal Ones. They're incredibly sharp. Those of you whining about how it's not 4K simply don't understand how this works. 4K screens would provide nearly no benefit but would kill the battery of your device much faster.
Yeah it's the FOV what actually kills these, you can make whatever big virtual screens, but you can never see more than a tiny chunk of them at a time.
For vr headset, the screen door appears, that's cause of the lenses zooming into the pixel like a microscope. These glass need more pixels and wider fov for them to be more useful as mix reality.
@@oneanother1 these are not magnified in any way, so you see the micro oled as tiny as they are, no screen door effect whatsoever, I assure you. The problem is the FOV is like 40° so you end up seeing something akin to a 12" tablet at the distance you would use one (so like ~1ft away from your face)
@Gatitasecsii I know that, but for a wider fov you need more pixels. Like the big screen beyond uses a similar display, but due to the wider fov the resolution could be better. These glasses aren't worth it for mix reality applicions, its just made to watch videos and play games on.
I have RoKid and love them. Can be used with anything and you don't need but the glasses and the USB c cable or a HDMI to USB C cable. They're amazing.
I think they have a different batch mine do not say bose audio on them and they are the one and I love them. I want a legion go with no screen give me more power more batteries and I'll be happy
Just got mine is today and the sound is what really caught be off guard on how good it sounded.. Wondering why the 'Sound by Bose' label was not on the Xreal One?
As an XREAL Air user, this is only really good for travelling. It's fantastic on airplanes and buses (i use it with my steam deck) and battery life is pretty decent when using this (1.5-2hrs on heavy games, 3hrs+ on emulator games). I once played the whole Pokemon Black in one seating on my flight so the comfort and usability speaks for itself here. Also really good in hotels with my macbook to watch tv shows. But other than these scenarios, it's not great. The 1080p display spread across 100+ virtual inches is horrendous PPI. If you used it as a monitor replacement, you will walk away with headaches if you have to work with text. I like that this version integrates the control into the glasses itself saving bulk but it's still extremely niche and can't replace anything. I would still only use this if i am travelling.
I use mine every night in bed when I want to watch TH-cam/shows/movies or game and want a huge private screen instead of a tablet or mobile screen. It is amazing tech imho. But to each their own I guess.
@@watching4410 thought abt the same thing and tried the other major brand since xreal is impossible to purchase from my place. The tech is there snd i only assume the products, which will be released from every brands later year are gonna be even better. But i would still say this is as good as for temporary use. Don’t expect this kind of glasses to replace a good monitor to do professional work. Still have to wait a couple of years. For entertainment, these are amazing.
Seems like a great and very practical, no bullshit, no gimmick solution. Going out on a design snob limb here, but I can’t understand why WHY they didn’t make them LOOK like ONE lens, instead of this wonky “small glasses behind big glasses” look. If they solved the design, widening the small prism glasses to match the size of the outwards facing glasses, and packing them into something that looks like one unit, they’d get a 10/10 in design and probably reel me in. Now it still looks like an unfinished and experimental product in development to me.
Yeah, I really hate that too. I’m assuming it gives the illusion of “thin” with the current design rather than looking bulky if the lenses were all the same size and closing off the space. They’re trying to appear more “ahead” of the game when they don’t need to. They’re already doing something different than others. Just own it.
Hell Yeah , Alternating POVs Is The Future Of Entertainment And Communications.NFL MLB,NBA. , Hollywood And Birthday Parties Are Going To Immersive When This Is Common Accessories To Smart Phones.
The Xreal Airs, Rokid Max, and Viture One all felt slightly uncomfortable sitting on the bridge of my nose. Has anyone experienced the older glasses and these and has noticed a difference in that regard?
Incredible! The TCL glasses I have are uncomfortable, doesn’t support headphones, and the speakers are loud sound leaking and low quality. I need these Xreal Ones instead!
I understand that this is an sponsored “review,” but how do they compare to the Viture Pro XR glasses? This upgraded XReal One model appears to match some of the features already offered by the Viture product, which I use. Is there any advantage on switching to these glasses? On the Viture’s I get on-device prescription correction, no accessories needed. Why didn’t they implement that on this new product? What is the maximum supported screen resolution in pixels (width and height) when connecting it to a laptop?
It should be mentioned that the adapter needed to connect these to a console like a PS5, switch, or XBox requires a battery. So it needs to be charged.
Can you still watch video content playing from your device like your phone when the display is not showing on the phone itself, say, put it away in your pocket?
Brian, would you please do an extended review on them and tell us how this glasses would work on a Windows gaming PC, on an iPad and most importantly on a Mac Mini (the glasses would be the only monitor for the Mac Mini). I really wonder if that would work. I also would like to know your honest opinion of a comparison of Xreal and Apple Vision Pro. I know that they are different devices but I would like to hear what you have to say about them two. Thank you Brian.
@ great, got a reply from the official. I would like to bring this up: its almost impossible to purchase from Canada… this is the only reason I wait this long… perhaps…show the northern buddies some love, please? :]
@@lululemon0424 in canada too, the lack of free returns is concerning. no way I will give a go at new tech when they wont allow for easy returns, heck there is no way i can recommend someone 'try' them out too if it's like that
The one thing that's concerning is I haven't found a review of this product that hasn't been paid by the company yet, that's concerning. If you have a good product you shouldn't have to pay somebody to review it and say good things about it. So videos like this are basically like a glorified commercial.
I have the XREAL Air’s from a few years back. They’re great on the go glasses. They’re kind of like the next step of being able to put in Bluetooth headphones when in a long line at the grocery store etc. However in this case it’d be waiting to get your tires changed, hotel visit, train, airport, etc. Personally Mobile Gaming now makes sense to me with these glasses.
It’s been like this since these type of glasses came out only sponsored and yet they already had to change their name from nreal to xreal is super skep too.
As someone who purchased the XREAL Airs myself, they are actually a good product. The company does not care about the software unfortunately, but delivers on the product itself. Reviewers do over-exaggerate some things but generally a good buy if you come in with the right expectations of having these as portable monitors rather than AR glasses.
@@rsorry I bought the Air’s when they were $399. At that price I’m definitely willing to upgrade every now and then when they make updates. I think that model may be even less now. For the price, they were impressive at $399. I’ve definitely got use cases, go to a hotel or Airbnb and no longer have to worry about a tiny tv, bring a good pair of headphones and you’re good. Thinking about it, hell I binge watched Kaiju No. 8 on them while out the country last summer sitting outside enjoying the breeze lol.
@@TheiTE I’ve been fine with the software updates, but I will say the Beam was a disappointment, I should have sent it back. Had problems finding the right type of cord to update it. I have no problems with the glasses overall though. Might try to update to the One Pro’s when they come out.
No such thing exist right now. Otherwise we would've had wireless computer monitors by now. Transmitting keyboard and mouse inputs is not the same as transferring a ton of megabytes of video streaming data per second between the computer/phone to glasses. The only thing I've seen that can do this is a wireless wifi dongle for VR headsets or an app like Virtual Desktop for the Meta Quest to play desktop VR games wirelessly, but both methods need a centralized wifi connection like a home internet wifi modem to work. This wouldn't work well for something like an Xreal glasses since it's meant to be taken on the go and for travel. However, I'm sure Xreal is probably working on a wireless solution for the later future. They seem to be making improvements frequently
The price is what’s stopping me from getting these for 300$ I’ll be all in but 500 😢 is to steep I just got a meta 3s and love how it work but it seems more of something my child would love for vr games and since I’m all in on iPhone and iPad as my productivity platform these glasses are better then Vision Pros because I can’t mirror my iPhone or iPad to a Vision Pro natively. But this 500$ price is the only thing stopping me 😫
x-Real missed the point: as you said: "they could have built in 4K panels..." I wonder: why have a "normal one" with 51 FoV and a Pro with like 57 FoV and not building in the better Displays? The difference between non Pro and Pro is so minute... unnecessary to put both up... I would be really willing to spend up to 1.000 on a pro with like 65-70 FoV and 2x4Ks...
They are definitely on to something and on the right track! I think they at least need to get it to 2K OLED. Also, they can do a lower resolution mode using onboard cpu and have a higher resolution mode using your phone or computer! I would pay 1k for that!
I'm waiting for 1440P before I get another pair. 4K would be nice, but these are already in DRM hell for HD content much less 4K. If you sail the high seas then that won't matter as much.
4:36 which phone is this? That’s a sexy design. I wish Apple would start making some good designs again. I don’t care what they put under the hood. I refuse to get another iPhone until they make something different.
Well the Pixel density on xreal one dropped so it is not good for productivity as claimed! I wait form the pro Version. Xreal air 2 ultra is still better in most cases
TH-cam notes it's a sponsored video. I say it in the first minute of the video and it's also in the description of the video. What else do you want me to do, honestly.
I wanna warn you all as a consumer of this company's past products that they DO NOT offer a good software service, so basically only consider these if you want a portable, private monitor and NOTHING else. These are NOT AR or XR glasses
In my opinion - with android XR having recently being unveiled and the current gen meta glasses being as old as they are, now might be the worst time to cough up this much money for these - this form factor will be so big in 2025
These are video display AR glasses. Meta Ray Bans and even Orion are different products. If you want to take a big screen with you. This is great for gaming and watching movies. That is where they excel.
Extended my budget to get the original Xreal AR glasses, most uncomfortable to use glasses for me, ever. Price point and lack of functionality plus past experience stops the purchasing of the next set. 500+ u.s. dollars for a portable monitor is too expensive for me.
so basically they are very expensive personal screen to carry with you as long as your phone battery lasts (if using with the phone of course)... isn't that right ?
Do you have any thoughts on why they are even selling the XReal One Pro for $100 more??? According to the specs, it has a slightly new chip and software, somewhat more for... and more brightness by 100 nits... and no 4k for the pro model... It seems like a no-brainer to save that $100 and get the available glasses much sooner.
I absolutely hate this bs 200" measurements you reviewers just parrot like talking points. It's an absolutely MEANINGLESS statistic, because it relies on a distance to the surface it'soprojected on. You know what, you can walk outside, put on the glasses, point it at a wall across the street, and now it's a 10,000" screen. See what I mean? Be better than that.
@@briantong Nope, not mad. You're just peddling talking points. If you're going to be taken seriously with these reviews of AR glasses, you should be better than the junk marketing. Constructive criticism: What you need to do next time, and from now on, is standardize a distance and state the inch size from there. The typical viewing distance from a TV to couch is 10 ft (~3m). So pick the same spot when you review these, and say it's about an X" screen from that point. That is WAY MORE accurate and gives people a better understanding of the dimensions. Simply saying 200" means absolutely nothing.
@@carlosdominguez3108 But this isn't a review, it's a sponsored video, and he's literally getting paid to say those talking points verbatim. On an extra note, there's almost NOBODY covering these glasses independently, this company spends a great deal sponsoring these kinds of fake reviews instead of investing on software R&D that would make the experience worthwhile.
I have the original nreal light glasses. Still waiting for a real api instead of the limited unity plugin. Meanwhile, xreal came out with yet another piece of hardware... Disappointing.
Viture xr pro is still better. Larger field of view. Magnetic connector. They have also onboard accelerometer ( how ever I never use this feature). And they look kinda better on the head, so not as large as XREAL.
Hope not, they will quadruple the price and then add massive strap and also some ridiculous goofy electronic eyes to pretend you’re looking through them !
I said this the same day I found XREAL after watching the Apple Vision Pro reveal and seeing the $3499 price tag. This would be a great entry level product to the vision line.
Why would you want 2560x1440p on a display thats 50ppd? You already cannot discern pixels at that size. Tell me you're ignorant about VR/AR optics without telling me you're ignorant about VR/AR optics. All that would do is kill your battery life.
You don't understand VR/AR optics. Educate yourself. Resolution doesn't matter, PPD does. 1080p at 50deg horizontal FOV is extremely sharp with no screen door effect. 4K would add zero benefit but would kill your battery life faster. These aren't equivalent to monitors.
No it wouldn't. You're ignorant on the topic of VR/AR optics. You can't equate these to monitors. 1080p at 50deg horizontal FOV is extremely sharp. Resolution doesn't matter, pixels per degree (PPD) does. All 4K would do is kill the battery of your device faster.
Apples. Version is gonna blow these out of the water. The patent is listed and displays are so much better. Also they will have designer frames , I heard they I’ll offer Hermes similar to the Apple watch Hermes band

The most egregious bit is the part about future features. Do not trust XReal on this, nor any of these 'AR' glasses makers.

The only thing I've seen that can do this is a wireless wifi dongle for VR headsets or an app like Virtual Desktop for the Meta Quest to play desktop VR games wirelessly, but both methods need a centralized wifi connection like a home internet wifi modem to work. This wouldn't work well for something like an Xreal glasses since it's meant to be taken on the go and for travel. However, I'm sure Xreal is probably working on a wireless solution for the later future. They seem to be making improvements frequently

Of course it exists. The AVP does this.
My Xreal One Don't Say Sounds by bose like urs on the arm 🤔
The price is what’s stopping me from getting these for 300$ I’ll be all in but 500 😢 is to steep I just got a meta 3s and love how it work but it seems more of something my child would love for vr games and since I’m all in on iPhone and iPad as my productivity platform these glasses are better then Vision Pros because I can’t mirror my iPhone or iPad to a Vision Pro natively. But this 500$ price is the only thing stopping me 😫
I'm debating whether I should buy these ones or wait for the pros in March.
Wait for the pro. That 57°Fov is worth the wait.
I wish they had a different product design/er. The bootleg Rayban frames that sit super far from your face look uhh yeah.
Can you wear prescription glasses and use this?
You can. They're partnered with a company that makes rx lenses for VR and AR systems. You can find info on the product page itself.
…or you can get the Viture Pro XR glasses which offer optical adjustment for eye prescriptions. No other accessories needed.
@@darkos4962 As long as you have myopia within the offered range, sure. Both glasses are fine, each with pros and cons.
Glad I waited
i hope it can remote display so I don't need to plug it
x-Real missed the point: as you said: "they could have built in 4K panels..."
I wonder: why have a "normal one" with 51 FoV and a Pro with like 57 FoV and not building in the better Displays?
The difference between non Pro and Pro is so minute... unnecessary to put both up...
I would be really willing to spend up to 1.000 on a pro with like 65-70 FoV and 2x4Ks...
With the chip, I’m unable to view TH-cam TV or Netflix content. Anyone else running into this issue?
They are definitely on to something and on the right track! I think they at least need to get it to 2K OLED. Also, they can do a lower resolution mode using onboard cpu and have a higher resolution mode using your phone or computer! I would pay 1k for that!
Looking for 4K
I'm waiting for 1440P before I get another pair. 4K would be nice, but these are already in DRM hell for HD content much less 4K. If you sail the high seas then that won't matter as much.
How about jigsaw puzzling while wearing these glasses?
4:36 which phone is this? That’s a sexy design. I wish Apple would start making some good designs again. I don’t care what they put under the hood. I refuse to get another iPhone until they make something different.
Well the Pixel density on xreal one dropped so it is not good for productivity as claimed! I wait form the pro Version. Xreal air 2 ultra is still better in most cases
Oh nice you are in Las Vegas - CES 2025, looking forward to the content BT.
How is it for 3D movies? Can you watch PLEX content on it - including 3D movies?
This is not a 3D movie viewer,
My 3d movies work on my old xreal but have to use the beam pro as it has built in 3d photo and video player
The top Pro model has 57 degree field view
Pointless to buy this when the Pro version is coming later this year.
You understand not everyone cares about pro models ?
I bought these because I'm impatient but I will regret not having the bigger fov. 😢
Pointless to buy pro if the super pro is coming 2026...
Pointless to buy the super pro if the Ultimate pro is coming 2027
@Limitbreak09 It probably is though. 😂
What's the main advantage to the Pro? Higher FOV?
How long did the glasses last on the steam deck and compared to normal usage how long did the battery drain compared to not using them
You should make it clear that this is sponsored content, including in the description.
This is in no way an independent review.
TH-cam notes it's a sponsored video. I say it in the first minute of the video and it's also in the description of the video. What else do you want me to do, honestly.
So do I need the prescription Insert to use if I wear glasses?
These, yes. If you are near sighted, get the Viture Pro. I started with X Real but went to Viture for the diopter adjustments for each eye.
The concept is amazing but until they implement 4k is not for me
How do you charge the steam deck and use the ar glasses at the same time?
I wanna warn you all as a consumer of this company's past products that they DO NOT offer a good software service, so basically only consider these if you want a portable, private monitor and NOTHING else.
These are NOT AR or XR glasses
In my opinion - with android XR having recently being unveiled and the current gen meta glasses being as old as they are, now might be the worst time to cough up this much money for these - this form factor will be so big in 2025
These are video display AR glasses. Meta Ray Bans and even Orion are different products. If you want to take a big screen with you. This is great for gaming and watching movies. That is where they excel.
Extended my budget to get the original Xreal AR glasses, most uncomfortable to use glasses for me, ever.
Price point and lack of functionality plus past experience stops the purchasing of the next set. 500+ u.s. dollars for a portable monitor is too expensive for me.
so basically they are very expensive personal screen to carry with you as long as your phone battery lasts (if using with the phone of course)... isn't that right ?
Waiting for the pro version as it has wider FoV.
Do you have any thoughts on why they are even selling the XReal One Pro for $100 more??? According to the specs, it has a slightly new chip and software, somewhat more for... and more brightness by 100 nits... and no 4k for the pro model... It seems like a no-brainer to save that $100 and get the available glasses much sooner.
I absolutely hate this bs 200" measurements you reviewers just parrot like talking points. It's an absolutely MEANINGLESS statistic, because it relies on a distance to the surface it'soprojected on. You know what, you can walk outside, put on the glasses, point it at a wall across the street, and now it's a 10,000" screen. See what I mean? Be better than that.
Ok, how about, it's really big and can 'in theory' be the biggest display you have. There has to be some general reference point. You mad bro?
@@briantong Nope, not mad. You're just peddling talking points. If you're going to be taken seriously with these reviews of AR glasses, you should be better than the junk marketing. Constructive criticism: What you need to do next time, and from now on, is standardize a distance and state the inch size from there. The typical viewing distance from a TV to couch is 10 ft (~3m).
So pick the same spot when you review these, and say it's about an X" screen from that point. That is WAY MORE accurate and gives people a better understanding of the dimensions. Simply saying 200" means absolutely nothing.
@@carlosdominguez3108
But this isn't a review, it's a sponsored video, and he's literally getting paid to say those talking points verbatim.
On an extra note, there's almost NOBODY covering these glasses independently, this company spends a great deal sponsoring these kinds of fake reviews instead of investing on software R&D that would make the experience worthwhile.
I have the original nreal light glasses. Still waiting for a real api instead of the limited unity plugin. Meanwhile, xreal came out with yet another piece of hardware...
Disappointing.
Viture xr pro is still better. Larger field of view. Magnetic connector. They have also onboard accelerometer ( how ever I never use this feature). And they look kinda better on the head, so not as large as XREAL.
Yea why use usb c when you can have a proprietary magnetic connector which comes in one length from one company /s
Why hasn’t Apple purchased this company yet?
Please God no.
@ 🤣
Dignity
Hope not, they will quadruple the price and then add massive strap and also some ridiculous goofy electronic eyes to pretend you’re looking through them !
I said this the same day I found XREAL after watching the Apple Vision Pro reveal and seeing the $3499 price tag.
This would be a great entry level product to the vision line.
I prefer the xreal one pro.
Hmm, still doesn’t seem as good as the Viture Pro.
Wake me up when the 4K model will be out 💤
Why would you want 2560x1440p on a display thats 50ppd? You already cannot discern pixels at that size. Tell me you're ignorant about VR/AR optics without telling me you're ignorant about VR/AR optics. All that would do is kill your battery life.
I dont' think AR means what you think it means.
brian doesn't age at all
I do want 4k, bro. 1080p should be the past. It's now
2025😒
You don't understand VR/AR optics. Educate yourself. Resolution doesn't matter, PPD does. 1080p at 50deg horizontal FOV is extremely sharp with no screen door effect. 4K would add zero benefit but would kill your battery life faster. These aren't equivalent to monitors.
1080p would be a waste of my Netflix premium and 4k devices
Can you at least try these before you automatically assume it's bad because it's 1080p...🤷♂️
No it wouldn't. You're ignorant on the topic of VR/AR optics. You can't equate these to monitors. 1080p at 50deg horizontal FOV is extremely sharp. Resolution doesn't matter, pixels per degree (PPD) does. All 4K would do is kill the battery of your device faster.
"Review"? Dude, please. This is an ad.
You talk about it as if you have no clue what AR ias and what the specs mean and what they translate into!!! Explanations were off and inaccurate,
I'm hoping the pro will be 4k😠
👍🏾
They should have called them the Xreal Orbison😂 (If you’re old enough you will get the joke) they do look incredibly stupid.
1080p is so soft for me so wake me up if they have 4k.
Shill!!!! Apple is 4K, what is Xreal? 1080! Shill Shill Shill!!!!!
Have you even tried these in person? For $500 1080p is perfectly fine. You're immediately looking at specs without even trying them on.
Bad reviewing!!! Wtf
omfg thanks Brian
without you i would have never known this product exists without your video popping on youtube
I'll be rocking our XREAL ONE in every comments! 🫴🕶✨#XREAL #ARForALL
Apples. Version is gonna blow these out of the water. The patent is listed and displays are so much better. Also they will have designer frames , I heard they I’ll offer Hermes similar to the Apple watch Hermes band
