This is the future. This does not feel like a tech demo, it feels like a well thought out, high-quality device. It is incredibly simple to use, just plug into your device and then bam, big screen with your content. The screens are extremely high quality, bright, and razor sharp. As far as the sound quality, I was honestly blown away. Built in sound may not seem like a big deal, but being able to plug in and not have to worry about extra cords or putting in headphones makes all the difference in it's usability for me to just grab and go. This has become a device that I use every single time I play on my steam deck and a device I use often when watching movies or shows.Couple of small things I would like to see improved upon:• The ability to adjust the volume directly from my glasses• I love being able to customize the shortcut button but please allow me to set "Side View" as one of the options• The ability to play/pause my media with my glasses (Getting a call and having to fumble around to find your device, open the portfolio cover if it's an iPad, then hit pause is annoying)Side notes:• If you wear glasses you will MOST likely need the glasses inserts. I can get away with playing in VR without glasses but these I literally could not use without the inserts• If you want to charge your device while you use the glasses make sure you get a quality adapter like the Viture USB-C to Glasses and Charging Adapter. I tried going cheaper but the sound wouldn't pass through to the glasses. Don't make the same mistake I made• These are NOT normal sized glasses, you will look a little goofy in them but they aren't really made to walk around and use at the same time• The lens transparency feature is cool but feels more like a gimmick (unless you find a good use for "Side View" mode. There has not been a single occasion where I wanted any other transparency than just the darkest. (You can just tap a button to get full pass-through without the screen so you are good if you need that)Couple of tips/tricks:• You can increase quality by a bit by turning off stabilization (this makes smaller text easier to read and I feel like the image is sharper as well)• Turning off stabilization allows you to adjust the brightness which helps a TON if you are wearing them at night• This also allows you to adjust the color tone. I like to skew it towards the oranges in the evening so it's easier on your eyes• Try the different nose pad sizes, it took me a little bit to get it to fit exactly how I wanted and feel perfectly comfortable• Connecting to an iPhone 14 or older (lightning port) requires a lot of cables (Lightning to HDMI Adapter, HDMI to USB C 4K with USB C powered (two female USB C ports)) - Now you can plug your glasses into the HDMI to USB C adapter but you need to also power the adapter so you will need a power bank if you are on the go and another USB C cable. ALSO, this does NOT charge the phone, as you need to plug a lightning charger into the Lightning to HDMI Adapter to supply power to the phone.Final thoughts - I love this device, this now goes with me when I travel and I absolutely love laying on the couch and playing my Steam Deck while I look up to the ceiling and see a huge screen. It has added new life into games that just don't pop on smaller screens or games where you need to spot smaller things. $500 feels a bit steep but the quality of the device IS top notch and I have zero regrets getting this device in particular.I have also owned and used a multitude of VR headsets and while that is a different experience, it does eventually become cumbersome and you lose interest and doesn't add a lot of daily value. This is more like having a set of AirPods. I carry them around so I can easily enhance my listening experience instead of listening to music from my phone speaker. These are the same, it easily enhances your long form media consumption.

These glasses have been amazing and life changing. That phrase is sometimes overused and I contemplated using it here, however it really h as changed a chunk of my life as a remote/hybrid IT worker. I am now able to work with a large virtual display, the ultrawide setting acts like 2 monitors for me and allows me to keep productivity up while on the go. Previously to this I had an external USB-C monitor I would use from time to time, but most of the time I would just be on a single laptop screen which really slows down some workflows. This device being so much smaller and easier to setup than a secondary display (I can use this anywhere, no need for extra table space, etc) has really improved things.I have astigmatism and a decently strong RX, with the inserts I purchased everything is very clear and easy to work in.I also enjoy some gaming/movie/youtube watching on these. They pair excellently with the ROG Ally X, and I am sure would pair great with other similar handhelds which support USB-C DP.Highly recommend, so much better than a Quest 3 or other VR headset for remote work, light weight and does not make my face hot like the quest does.

These XREAL AR glasses are a fantastic way to get a massive, immersive display wherever you go. The picture quality is surprisingly sharp and vibrant, making movies, gaming, and even productivity a whole new experience. They're incredibly lightweight and comfortable for extended wear, which is a huge plus.While they really shine when paired with a compatible phone or a device like the XREAL Beam for a more spatial experience, even as a simple monitor extension for my laptop or Steam Deck, they're a game-changer. It's like having a giant screen floating in front of you, perfect for travel or just lounging on the couch.The sound quality is decent for built-in speakers, and the overall build feels solid. For anyone looking to expand their digital workspace or enjoy media on a truly personal giant screen, the XREAL Air series is a very compelling option. A minor caveat is that compatibility can vary, so check your device, but once it works, it's pure magic.
