This is the second brand of XR glasses I have tried as I had trouble with comfort on the first pair I bought. I would say that these are a big improvement. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort, which I cannot say for the other big brand I tried, which I sent back in a week because the comfort was just not there. They hurt my nose and the sides of my head.
The screen on these has vibrant color and the picture is very crisp and big. It's big enough to read text on, which is a lot harder to do if you have glasses with a smaller display. I do get some blurring around the edges if I don't wear them close enough to my face, but most of the time I don't notice. If there is something in one of the corners, sometimes I have to push them up to my forehead so I can see it more clearly.
They're great for watching movies or TV and playing games. I have played through several entire video games wearing them and the experience is very enjoyable! They got me back into playing video games more regularly just because it's so much fun and immersive to play them on the glasses.
The lens dimming works well to block out most light when watching content. If that isn't enough, you can put the included lens cover on to block out the rest.
I appreciate that they made the nosepiece easy to bend so that you can reach the goal of getting them to sit in the right place and that there is the temple adjustment to also help facilitate that. My eyes are a little uneven, so I was able to make one temple adjustment different from the other to get the whole screen clearly into view with both eyes. They could have made the viewing area a little bigger so that the whole screen fits in it with less fiddling, but that's my only complaint.
That being said, they are the best XR glasses I've tried (of the two brands I've used) from a comfort and picture perspective.
I will be keeping these and using them regularly, but I also look forward to the future when this sort of product has worked out all of the kinks and can be more universally accepted and used by people.
The whole 330' screen advertising is stupid. A big enough screen at a far enough distance means literally nothing. I have a 32' curved Samsung monitor that if I sit 3' away, is bigger than what is displayed on the glasses. Honestly, this is more like a 20 inch dispay at 3 feet away. It's bigger than my 16 inch portable display and a lot less bulky.
The quality of the displays are awesome and the glasses themselves at 60hz draw very little power. At 120hz they drain a bit more, so if you're going to use them with your phone be aware. When it came to my laptop, it still took less than my IPS portable monitor, so overall a win.
While the "fringing" that people reported might be due to the plastic prisms (or whatever you want to call the pieces that redirect the downward facing screens to your eyes), I found that most of that is due to improperly adjusted glasses. The nose pieces are very important. I chose the shortest ones thinking they'd sit more like regular glasses. While they did, it caused distortion on the outer edges of the display. I noticed if I angled them, I could get a fully clear picture. I swapped through the different glasses bridges until I found one that held them in the right place and the picture was fixed.
Overall, if they were a bit less expensive they'd dominate the market IMO for portable monitors. I have the pro and the ability to press a button to black out the background was very helpful in places like airplanes. Still, even if I had to just use the plastic covers (for the non-pro version) it wouldn't be a deal breaker.
If you have the money, it's a solid luxury buy and not just a gimmick. If you're on the fence, these aren't a game changer either.

But that changed last year when a set of Virtual display glasses were released, one was the Air by Nreal (now Xreal), and some other companies like Virtua One. I did a lot of research, reading and seeing video reviews, and decided it was time to dive in. I went with the Xreal Air 2 Pro.
When I put them on for the first time, it was a real “WOW"! This (WOW) was the same reaction I got when I showed them to colleagues and random folks who approached, figuring that my sunglasses were not just sunglasses. Many people said they would get them after trying them, I think Xreal should be paying me a commission ;)
UPDATE: I loved my AIr Pro 2, but sadly, I experienced an issue 3 weeks in and had to return it. See details below.
Let’s start with the positive:
- Build - Everything feels premium, from the cool unboxing to the device to using it. It is solid, not easily breakable, and feels good in your hand and face.
- Visuals - Cristal, clear 1080P image at 120Hz refresh rate; these are like a portable thater wherever you go; I used my old Samsung 10+ as my media device and watched media through Netflix, Disney+, and Prime along with the Xreal Media player (it supports 3D!!) and sometimes VLC player. Yes, expect some blurriness around the edges, but that didnt disrupt my media viewing. Movie watching was immersive, even if there was light coming from the sides (they dont block all sides like Vision Pro or Quest, which to me is a good thing)
- Sound - Small integrated speakers on the glasses’ temples broadcast sound to your ears. It was pretty good, with minor sound bleed to the environment, but on planes, I used my Noise Cancelling earbuds paired with my phone - zero latency, BTW
- Gaming - I also used it with my Nintendo Switch, but I quickly learned that you need a power source involved (the switch will go into docked mode). I found a device on Amazon.com from Virtua One that acts as a power hub, and I could plug it into a power source (AC or battery). This hub was helpful for charging my phone when using the glasses, as the glasses draw power from the device and drain it faster. Playing Zelda TOTK on a giant screen during a flight is EPIC! From what I gathered, it should work out of the box with Steam Deck and similar devices. No external power is needed to get an image.
- Software - The Nebula software is decent. I did not use it much (I only used the media player they added in the recent release), but it does offer additional viewing options like “Smooth follow,” where the screen slowly follows your head movement and a mode where the screen is stuck in the air. You can move your head around. Very slick!
Computer - I also tried it on my MacPro, and it was cool, but I did not feel I could work with it for the type of work I do, as the text was a bit blurry - I even tried their Mac Nebula Software, but it was not very stable when I tried it, but it essentially allows you to have a virtual multi-monitor experience, I will keep testing the future updates for sure
- Dex - For Samsung owners, if your device supports Dex, I highly recommend using it, mainly since it allows you to turn off your screen while media is playing (for both privacy and energy savings)
- Comfort - this is a big one, I used it for hours without a break, and it was comfortable and immersive. The glasses are relatively lightweight, and the arms are flexible behind the ears.
- Looks - They look like regular sunglasses, only the USB cable indicates they are not; if you want the attention, go for the red version ;) (which I wanted but was sold out)
- Protective Case - The provided case is solid and not too big for my backpack, solid enough to contain and protect the glasses with the USB cable
Now for some negative:
- I have a wide nose, and even the L-size nose pad felt a bit tight, but still, not to the point of discomfort
- The Beam Device was hard to get on Amazon.ca and felt a bit pricy - it all depends on what you want to do with the glasses. For my use case (media watching while traveling), it was not needed, and I used an old android
- iPhone users - the device comes with a USB-C cable, so iPhone users will need to spend extra on a dongle
- The device is supposed to go with a prescription glasses insert; mine was not in the box (?!) - I didn’t care much as I dont wear glasses. Regardless, many online options exist to order them with custom prescription lenses.
- They are not AR (Augmented Reality) - which to me means that the device overlays virtual images on real-world video (like Vision Pro or Quest 3 Passthrough), for that the glasses need to have cameras, which the Air 2 doesn't have (PS: Xreal announced authentic AR glasses during CES called “Xreal Air Ultra”)
- Price - well, the price tag of ~$700 CAD (for Air 2 Pro) might be high for many; you can save a few $$ if you get the regular Air 2 (not Pro). The only difference is that the Pro has a button that changes the glasses' shade dimness by 3 levels, I was not sure it was worth the extra $$
The bottom line is that if you want a high-quality portable virtual display, these are the glasses to get!
HW Failure UPDATE:
Sadly, after three weeks of use, during the flight, the left screen stopped working…it worked again after unplugging, and after a few minutes, it stopped working. I tried with my primary phone and Switch, and the issue repeated…when I got home, I tried it with a different USB-C cable, but the same problem occurred. I had no choice but to return them while still under Amazon’s return period (mainly because Amazon Canada indicated in the listing’s T&Cs, “The manufacturer’s warranty may not be valid in Canada.”), decided not to take a risk and returned them before contacting the vendor.
But this was an incorrect statement by Amazon. When I reached out to Xreal regarding the warranty, Xreal Support said:
“Please be assured that we provide 1-year warranty service for products purchased from our official channels inlcuding our stores on Amazon.
If the products meet the following conditions, you can apply for warranty service:
1. You have received the goods within one year and need to provide a purchase receipt;
2. The product has a performance failure that is not caused by man-made damage;
3. No damages caused by man-made, misuse, abuse, neglect, excessive erosion or rust, unauthorized repair or modification or other events beyond XREAL's control."
This was very disappointing because I liked these glasses a lot 🙁 I guess I will wait for the next model or try one of the other competitors who offer a warranty in Canada.
Final score: 3 stars
> 2 star deducted for hardware failure after three weeks of light use

However, as it has to re-render those displays twice, the quality of text drops considerably to the point of hurting your eyes trying to read what would otherwise be a perfectly clear text. The regular monitors (even virtual, that Nebula creates) can take advantage of TrueType fonts for crispiness. However, when that image is re-rendered a second time into the actual display in your glasses, that advantage is lost, as its just an image not a text anymore - the text is blurry (naturally) and shifting (due to the natural micro-movements of your neck). Fairly low refresh rate also contributes to Motion Blur here.
Lenses, being imperfect also contribute to this - mine had spots of imperfection throughout the field of view, making the text even blurrier in those places.
So if you are used to work in a multi-monitor setup with at least 1920x1080, and working with text (Word, Excel, Email, etc.) this will not work for you.
Granted, these glasses are top-of-the line, with the best resolution and highest PPD of all similar PC-driven and phone-driven AR glasses with natural passthrough (which you need otherwise you can't see your keyboard and mouse), and there really isnt anything better out there if you look at the specs - the technology is simply not there yet.
And the next version - Air 2 Ultra is already stated to have identical resolution, and wider FOV (which means even lower PPD). So, I returned these ones, and not buying next. Need a quality jump to become useful.
