"so im in the coffee shop typing away and nobody knows im typing on this massive screen" as random guy comes into view and just stares at him lololol
And has no clue what's going on
Thanks for the opportunity to try them Patrick! I am seriously thinking of grabbing a pair for myself. Fantastic video!
Thanks man!
9:30 that man was flabbergasted 😂😅
😂
Thank you for your review Patrick. It helped me to understand some points I wasn't clear looking at their website. An excellent excuse to get it for my birthday.
Ha! Nice gift :)
Nice! Looks interesting for gaming and watching videos. Not sure about the productivity portion but it’s a nice consideration.
Great video! Very exciting product...can't wait to try them!
Thanks man!
I just tried my son’s xreal glasses last night with my Steam Deck and they were pretty amazing! Much more light weight than I expected and very crisp and clear! Great review thx!
Thank you!
I bought the Xreal AR2 glasses. I liked them so much I returned them and purchased the AR2 Pro glasses. I love that dimming feature and use it all the time. Much easier than popping the blackouts on and off the glasses. I love the glasses so much, that I am seriously considering buying a Steam Deck, which seems to me like a mini Xbox! Time to start watching UA-cam videos about that device…
Can't wait for you to review their helper device for the glasses. Xreal beam, now that is a real game changer
Wow! These looks really good!!! I wouldn’t mind trying these out :)
They really are awesome!
Glad to see you catch us up on these glasses Patrick. I bought the Xreal AR2 glasses. They were so good I returned them!
And then bought the Xreal PRO AR2 glasses. These are incredible. The vision, the clarity, all of it is amazing. Now…don’t forget to buy the Xreal BEAM device to accompany them. You WANT to increase that screen to 330 inches…or my favorite, enable distance, and bring that huge screen CLOSER to you. That makes the screen incredibly large, like an IMAX. They are just incredible. Remember, buy the BEAM device. Without it, you are losing about half of the massive advantage that these glasses offer.
Sounds like I need to get in touch with them again. Thanks Phil !
I pre-ordered myself a pair for my birthday that come with the xbean .. can’t wait to try them out
Great review... I'm ordering today!
Thanks! Hope you like it 🙌
I'm glad you brought up the nausea issue. I've tried VR glasses and the experience was unpleasant -- I had no idea it may have been caused by flicker. Do you know how these AR glasses work for people like me who wear corrective lenses?
I'm not sure tbh. I would assume it works fine, they pack prescription lenses with the standard kit for those with glasses as well.
Very well thought out video, keep making good content 👌🏻
Thanks a ton!
Hi! One note - Xreal recently updated the Air's firmware so sound works with normal HDMI adaptors! There's a button-press to switch between HDMI-audio and USB-audio. (Hold down volume- for 3 seconds!)
Gonna try that asap!
Love your vid. I am a Belgian living in Turkey and just managed to order the xreal glasses formerly known as nreal and thanks for mentioning this because here it was still advertised as nreal which got me confused ...thanks to you I know I bought the right product .!
Hey that's awesome! I'm a Dutch guy living in your home country 💪
how did you buy this? i cant find any sellers here in europe?
@@magnuscordoviz486 Amazon
Great video! Just ordered mine :)
Also later when they come out a comparison video between these and apple vision pro headset could be pretty cool as well! (Curious how much of the same features you get for over $3k less haha)
Haha yes that should be interesting.
I just bought the Viture as it’s focused on gaming. I’m really excited. I am worried because there are differing opinions on the screen on different headsets, but overall the reception seems positive and I’m really excited.
Nice!
I realy love my xreal air glasses, worth to have one and price is very ok, the image is so clear and vibrant, i not expected to be so good before to get it...
The price is really reasonable.
I've seen many reviews, but you're the first that has mentioned the adjustable arms. Great review. Thanks Patrick.. I am holding off on purchasing these though because they still look dorky to me as the lenses are still far from your face, so the glasses don't sit right as normal wayfarers do. The field of view is only 70% or so, so there's much to be desired in terms of immersive experience. I do really want them, especially with the Nebula app giving you expanded screen integration. Still, if there's anything that being an early adopter has taught me, it's to wait for v2. For Nebula to shine, more resolution is needed for text sharpness.
Great video!
Thanks!
I'm also getting them!! Will be on a long fly and this glasses can just pay them selfs on that fly alone!
Watching this on my nreal air glasses 🎉
Great video ❤
Thanks!
stumbled accross your channel because of the glasses. Literally the fact you filmed yourself in underwear, editing that video made me subscribe instalntly 😂
Hahaha appreciate it. In my defense : they are gym shorts 😂
Would be really nice if these things were better than 60Hz. Really sweet otherwise! I'd love to try them out in person.
Xreal's updating the firmware to enable 120Hz - no eta yet but they've announced a beta test for it coming soon
Great video, thank you so much, i got some questikns if you have time.
First, please do a followup video with the beam adapter :) Secondly, as i understand, the adapter when hooked up to switch or ps5 for exapmle, doesnt have power in so we have to charge it up every 3 hours or so, is there a way to use them hooked up to the charger as well somehow with a type c dongle or something? And finally, do you know if they plan to bring the nebula app and thus the virtual workspace to ipad maybe? That would be awesome as well, thank you, great job and keep it up :)
I’ve been into these for a while now, I had an idea for an interactive AR app that I think will be pretty cool. I will just say it and I can’t really copyright it because I don’t know if it’s being done already. But if not just remember That CodenameG thought of this on June10th 2023😅.
Turning comics into AR, now if you know about Webtoons it’s all about scrolling down to see the next panel and normal comics you read each page and work with the art to imagine how it would play out.
This would take the panels and animate them to play out what we normally have to imagine. It’s taking the orignal concept and making it 3D, I’d want it to be like you open the comic and the character jump out at you and follow the panel sequence. The reading element will still be there and you can set a speed to read it at or manually turn the pages to see the next scene. It’s a hard concept to execute I think and it will need tinkering but I think it’s a good idea.
My #1 thing holding me back was my fear of not being able to work with my prescription glasses since they are the big windowed kind. Now knowing they give you a blank prescription set, I'll probably end up getting my pair within a week or so - just have to figure how expensive my prescription will be to put on that blank pair.
And since my eyes are very quickly deteriorating (like a new pair of glasses every other year) I do hope they'll sell spare blank glasses.
I'm sorry to hear about that!
Hi Angelo. As someone who knows a bit about eye health and physiology, I would recommend you not use these for more than 30 minutes at a time, given the condition of your vision. As we age our eye muscles weaken, like all other muscles and need exercise. Looking at a screen at a fixed distance for long periods is very detrimental and is a virtually guaranteed way to accelerate the deterioration of your eyes. I studied this stuff at a young age, and since then I've done everything I can to retain my eye health, and it's the reason all of my four siblings (including my twin) wear glasses and I don't. We are all in our 50s.
@Scott Dang I understand and hear you loud and clear.
@@scd6969even if the fixed distance 3 or more metres away ?
daaammm this are soo cool! and the price its actually decent!
Thank you for the insightful video!
I recently purchased AR glasses (XREAL Air AR Smart Glasses, Formerly Nreal with Massive 201") for my research, and I'm looking for a compatible Android tablet to enhance the experience. Since I use an iPhone 12 and can't use the Nebula app, I'm planning to buy an Android tablet or mobile device specifically for that purpose.
Any recommendations for the best-fit Android tablet or mobile device to pair with AR glasses?
Combine that with smartphone /tablet like surface pro and cloud gaming and external battery you can add to belt with vr joystick and other accessories like vr sutit , gloves ,helmet or threadmill
Wow, they look awesome do they work with none M grade processor iPads i.e. full screen or does it have bars?
When used with iPads, they literally just blow up the screen, so you keep the original aspect ratio. No black bars 🙌
Good to see ThisIsE on your channel. I
He's the man!
@@PatrickRambles As are you, my friend!
@@jimcabezola3051 😁🙌
Is there a way to interact with content without using your phone, for example does it have hand tracking or a select button on the glasses itself?
pls we kindly need more collars with This is E !
I would purchase a 4K version of this immediately.
i always said when the first VR came out years ago that how it would be nice if somebody would come out with a VR headset that was not so bulky and just like the size of regular glasses and then there was NREAL / XREAL
I just built a new windows 10 PC with an nvidia 3080 ti GPU..
Can these glasses be connected to this gpu?
I ordered the Air glasses and adapter. Is there anything else I need to connect it to my PS5 or iPhone? I have the Apple Adapter and of course HDMI cables and such for my PS5. Is it really that simple?
I just got my xreal a couple days ago to Indonesia. And i still can connect xreal from usb-c to windows PC using wired connection. But, with wireless connection its works. any solution i have?
This is what I am asking my mom and dad for Christmas
To be honest I’ve just watched Apple’s presentation about their new AR headset @ $3500 and god for 1/10th of the price I feel like those glasses are better in a lot of way ;
-Form Factor
-Battery Management (The battery is your phone , on Apple’s headset the battery is at *most* 2 hours)
-Price
-Compatibility
-Future Proof (as the hardware is your phone / external devices , thus you’ll never lack power)
I just feel like this format of AR is pretty much the perfect spot for now.
I’m also located in Belgium but I’ll soon travel to USA , will prolly get one of those at the same time.
Good presentation.
Thanks man!
besides this is much more comfortable to wear for extended periods, I don't think I want that Apple contraption around my head for more than 30 minutes.
does the screen move when your head moves?????? pls answer
Great video i just wish it would work on my Google Pixel phone 😢
I accidentally deleted the GOOGLE APP from my AR SPACE.
Any idea how to get it back?!?
Is there any discount code?
Does it have an IPD adjustment?
Which phone you're using?
Planning to buy also but can i ask if this will work with the ipad mini 6?
Yes it does :) all iPads with usb c
How do multiple virtual displays on M1 / M2 work in conjunction with Wacom graphic tablet? Are they registered as proper external displays that Wacom can use
Multiple displays only work on Mac, not on iPad (yet). No idea re the Wacom question, I've never used a Wacom tablet.
lol the guy staring at you in the cafe.
Hilarious. Imagine my surprise when I watched back the recording 😂
The Nebula app wont work on my macbook pro.. Do i need to update the OS??
I'm doing a follow up video soon, a new version of Nebula for Mac is coming out!
will you help me operate these glasses?
I just got here in frankfurt germany. so I don't where to buy this. can you please recommend places, shops or apps to buy this.
Have you tried Amazon?
Am I the only one who was always sent to a real estate website when I’d search up Nreal lmaoo. Glad they switched to Xreal sounds cooler
How do you edit the screen capture at an angle like that?? I’m trying to do that to show the screen moves with the head but the overlay just stays flat
Depends on the editing software you use. In final cut I use the distort tool to shape it how I want. Edit : to have it move with the head, I add a tracker.
Does anyone know if I could play Genshin Impact from my phone with the XReal glasses? That would make buy them lol I at least know Genshin WILL come to switch eventually, but I don't wanna buy these and then wait for it
Went for Rokid max this time, although these look quite good! I’d say Rokid Max better for indoor and xreal more suitable for travelling
Just curious, what makes Rokid good for indoor?
@@PatrickRambles 120hz, better fov, and they don’t look as good as the wayfarer shaped xreal lol
It’s 60hz
I will never do business with Rokid. I ordered and waited 3 months. I emailed them over and over. Then they say it's shipping. Never ships I email them again. Nothing.
Then I emailed them saying I wanted a refund, and then they responded and gave me a refund.
Countless people with the same issue or getting broken/non functional glasses. They have terrible customer service.
Do these work if work you wear glasses
Can i download/run nebula to my iPad Pro?
No... I wish. Not sure what's keeping them to make this available on ios
I suffer from neck pain due to phone usage and need to get physical therapy.
I use twitter and reddit a lot which is my main problem. Is there any way to use text-based websites that require scrolling comfortably with these? If possible, it would help my posture. But if it is uncomfortable, probably wouldnt end up using them…
I'll be getting these until I can afford the Vision Pro lol. Thanks for this review
Haha yeah that’s quite the price difference.
@@PatrickRambles definitely lol
When connected to a mobile how do we charge the mobile.
A dongle might do the trick
Do you feel this would be a good accessory for a productivity experience for work on the iPad Pro for example. I could see being in a hotel or airplane with these and not having to bring an external monitor. I am shocked how reasonably priced. If they would increase productivity. They could pay for themselves quickly. Just like any new product. I am sure the technology will grow exponentially over the next couple years. I would love to try them.
Honestly, Steve that's my favorite use case. With the iPad it simply blows up the screen and gives you a crisp OLED version. Very impressed.
Just bought them today. Should be delivered tomorrow. Bought them specifically for work as a sales guy.
@@TevinDeMerchant interesting! How do you intend to use them?
@@TevinDeMerchant im also getting them, i will have a long fly and this can just pay them selfs on that fly alone!
Is it possible to pair two glasses to a ps5 or tv
I don't think so.
9:30 that guy knows you're banging away
I wonder how good these are compared to the apple vision pro ofc they vision pro is a lot more ofc but just curious
Yeah I think we are all curious about that :)
Amazon link is no longer any good. It says it is “ currently unavailable” When you follow the link you provided.
Is the image static? Is it locked to your head?
Depends. With the nebula app you can choose, so the image van stay put like it has its own spot in the air. Without the nebula app, the image is just a huge mirror of your screen and moves with your head.
One question: Are these glasses compatible with flip phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G?? I want to buy these glasses to give them a whirl, but im not gonna spend the cash if they dont work for what i got.
Great question, there should be a list of compatible devices on their website. The list is growing but there are some unsuppported devices still.
Hey, I've heard in your video your from Belgium, where did you buy the glasses? I'm from the Netherlands, and only can find them in the US...
I'm from the Netherlands too, I live in Belgium. The glasses were sent to me by Nreal/XREAL.
@@PatrickRambles Ahh damn, I really love the idea of using them with my Steam deck/Switch/PC/iPad/iPhone/Android tablet/PS5/Xbox/etc... But really doubting if it's what I expect it to be... They say it's just like you have an 130" screen in front of you.... What will that do with the sharpness of the games, for example an 1080p on a 4K screen is douable, but on a that size of screen I can imagine you can count pixels, even more because it's that in front of you... I really would love to try, maybe you can help me get in contact with Xreal?
Do they work on their own? It would be nice to just watch movies on it all in one device. Im still really interested to get it and pair it with my phone but it'd be nice
No they don't have built in system, that would inevitably make the glasses much bigger. You need a device to run them.
@@PatrickRambles damn. Well I heard they have a wireless connection so maybe I'll get a USB power raspberry pi and use that to stream media to the glasses

@@doctorgrubious7725 😂😂
@@doctorgrubious7725 mhh thats really weird
Like anybody dumb enough to let you wear sunglasses to take a test and can't see your eyes trying to copy from someone next to you
@9:30 the reaction of the other guy walking - he is like WTF, is this guy blind and using a iPad?
This would rock for productivity during travel, to have all that screen real estate in the palm of your hand... I would totally buy this, however I would want to try it out first. Unfortunately there is no place to test drive these.
Haha yeah to be fair, I did have a little ray Charles thing happening there 😂
What about iPhone users is it not compatible and will it ever be?
It’s compatible but the features are neutered compared to android OS, on top of that you need an adapter that individual needs to be charged and both the phone and glasses need to be plugged into this adapter, you also need the apple lighting to hdmi adapter to connect the iPhone to that adapter.
Fortunately there’s a solution but only available for pre order, as it only recently appeared. It’s a new adapter that’s called the Xreal beam, this will give that compatibility we need for iPhone users.
In conclusion, at the time of this comment, the Xreal glasses are a super cool piece of tech, but are just awful and inconvenient to use in my opinion and with iPhone OS.
I wonder if this has a setting to add multiple screens so that it would feel like there are 2 or 3 extra monitors in front of you that are connected to your computer or laptop. That would be a productivity game changer. No more multiple monitors, just a pair of these 😁
Yeah it does. I mention it in the video :)
not on windows tho! and don't get your hopes up, they haven't done anything about it in a long time.
@@Gatitasecsii They do work on Windows. In fact I'm writing this comment on my Air set connected to my laptop. Once you connect them to the computer, they automatically install the driver & connect as an additional display.
Is there a way to charge your phone with it plugged in?
Wireless charging is fine
I just got my Xreal Air. The Beam is on order. I do not have a compatible phone. All I have been able to do is update the firmwear on the PC. I did get it to work with my Roku Max but no sound. I used the Roku's remote speaker jack for sound (not very good quality) and watched some stuff. I am impressed at how crisp the screen is for only a 1080P screen. I have the oculus 2 and PICO 4. I just cant keep them on very long because of the weight. The Xreal does not have this problem. I'm sure with the Beam It will get even better. I can see myself plugging up to my phone, connect to my plex server and watching my movies or TV while on a trip. Now if we can get to Wireless connection, 4K and use the Ant Reality CrossfireTech, that could be Apples Vision Pros real Comprtitor.
I want these :(
It's hard for me to hear the name of the adapters you need for this in your video... probably it's my hearing.
But can you comment here which adapters can be used to connect to the iphone, and what the connector is
that is used in concert with the nreal adapter? I though initially you could only use this with an android phone
or a macbook, but I see that you can use this with the Switch, the Iphone, and the PS 5 in addition to Xbox XS series
My husband loves gaming and it sounds like if it's affordable, it may be something he would actually use if I can afford
this for him. Heck , I want to use it too! But it's his BD coming up, so I really want to surprise him!
I sure hope he can use this with his glasses though, because they have very thick lense.
PS . I think you did an awesome job of making it look like we could see what you were seeing
to use with the iphone, you need two adapters. the one sold by XReal which is $59 and the apple lightning digital AV adapter.
Apple going to announce there Ar glasses this June 5 I’m waiting to see what they offer. the Nreal Air are a year old.
🧢
hahaha hope you can afford it
@@freezedriedicecream Lol yeah I got enough time it doesn’t come out until next year by then the funds will be available.
Yep, 10X the cost. I'm sure it will be better but dang..
@David that's what apple is banking on tax season. Vsion pro brings entertainment and productivity together definitely is a magnificent device but my goodness $3,499 that's way out of my reach.
does it lag that much?
What do you mean

@@PatrickRambles 😂
9:27 Man like are we in future?
🤣
Did you try the hand tracking feature?
The issue currently is that there is such a limited compatible phones and no windows.. it will give you the 1 static screen, but no augmented or multiple views.
Yes the software is very much under development.
What’s the price point?
Link in description.
This is 10 times better than Apple's
That shit laggy af. Gtfo. Vision pro way better
hmm... well the prescription lense frames don't look like they would work for my husband's prescription since his HAVE to be really thick... so I am guessing you can't wear normal glasses underneath. That is probably going to rule out getting this for him as a gift :(
Oh no, what a bummer. I'm not sure about the prescription part, it could be worth reaching out to Nreal to see what the range is on their prescription lenses.
In your underwear like a boss 🙂 0:25 LOL
LOL they're gym shorts, but I guess that's not much of a difference 😂
9:32 the guy in the right side
App compatability is bad . I have a samsung galaxy S9 and cant use the Nebula app. Plus , there is no hook up to a standard USB port for these , just a Type C to Type C cable. Most Laptops dont have a type C port.
Which laptops are you using that don't have a usb c port in 2023? I do agree that app compatibility leaves something to be desired. It's definitely a work in progress.
@@PatrickRambles Luckily my LG laptop does have it. However , dont want it near my head while using glasses. Dont know if an extension TYPE C cable would work or if just a longer one would work with these glasses . Had to upgrade my phone as welll and I am on a waiting list for the Beam.
XREAL NEEDS to release a dock to charge and use your devices at the same time.
They have one shipping later this month. It's called the Beam and it charges as well as allows 6 DOF for any device thus removing the nausea from the fixed screens. Just pre-ordered one!
They just released a new gadget that gives 100% compatibility with all phones and consoles, even the Switch, without having to use a HDMI cable.. Just glasses-> gadget -> switch/android/iphone/mac/pc/whatever..

Do you think the xreal better then the rokid max? 😮 they sure look better then the rokid max 😂
Haha yeah they do. I haven't tested the Rokid so I can't really speak on that, but it's the comparison everybody makes so I assume they will.be quite similar.
@@PatrickRambles would love you to do video side by side rokid vs xreal. I ordered the rokid for now peace out from uk ✌️
