I saw these demonstrated on YouTube and thought they would be great to watch videos streamed from my phone in my motorhome. However my expectations were not high having tried a VR headset before and was prepared to try them and send them back as unsuitable. How wrong I was! These are absolutely brilliant. The HD picture quality is pin sharp and colours rich and vibrant. I was fooled by the website and disappointed not to be able to download the iPhone app. Once I received the glasses I found out why - there IS not iPhone app, they just work. Straight out of the box. I have a new iPhone 15 with USB C so I plugged the glasses in and Wow! I was immediately presented with a "virtual" display floating in front of me. Turning the phone into landscape mode turned the display as well. Playing a Netflix video was everything I had hoped for (and didn't expect). It was like watching a huge HD display. Even the sound was great with really good stereo separation. I was expecting to have to use my Airpods but there is really no need. Results on my iPad were just as good. On my Macbook Air I used the available app and was blown away by having three virtual monitors floating in front of me, visible just by turning my head left and right. The past couple of nights I've taken them to bed and watched Netflix while lying on my back - wonderful. All in all these way exceeded my expectations and will definitely be staying.

I didn't get the Beam attachemnt, which has been discontinued in favour of Beam Pro, which is a bit pricey. I bought these glasses just as a monitor, and to see if they were any good. I was expecting to send them back if I was underwhelmed with them. As a replacement monitor on Windows 11 they are very usable and excellent build quality. The image is crystal clear. 3D videos look great. The sound is also very good. Just plug in and they work. (Usb-C PD connector) Where you will see other people having cripes or problems with image quality stems from the fact that you need to pay another £95 (or ish) for prescription lenses to go into them if you need reading glasses. I use glasses. Without these lenses the image is simply blurry and causes eye strain. I am lucky that I can wear my own glasses and have these Air 2 glasses on (not ideal but perfectly OK) so can get away with not buying the extra prescription lenses to fit into the Air 2. With my own glasses on the image is stunning, very clear, but if you do not position them really well you might miss the top or bottom of the image (just a few pixels) or the left or right areas might become a little out of focus. If I position the glasses really well, the image becomes great. People who do not use glasses should see a crystal clear image, however a lot of people need (or could do with using) glasses but they dont - these people might find the AIR 2 image isnt quite as good as as advertised. Its really important that your eyesight is good, or that you use prescription lenses with Air 2 to get the best out of it. It can do more with the Beam Pro - I haven't tried. There are apps like Xreal Neubla (and 3rd party ones) which unlock other features instead of using Beam, but these are either flakey, lack features or simply wont work with Windows. Most of them weren't finished or like Nebula have been abandoned recently. The Android / Mac Apps might be great - no idea - their apps apparently unlock more features. For it to work on a mobile your phone must be able to output the video via its USB port. Most phones can't do this (Samsung Galaxy S rs ange can) If you have a USB-C DP port on your device (PS5 etc) then these glasses act as a great large view monitor that you can take anywhere. (Acts as a 30" monitor). I use them to watch 3D video and normal videos - fantastic. I paid £245 with a voucher - £289 is too much and they will stop seeling them soon (hence why they stop selling Beam). I think the vouchers are being used to shift old stock. At £245 what you get is a convenient good quality 120Hz (60/90hz also) monitor and will be great for gamers. I used them for almost 6 hrs straight and only had mild eye strain - these type of things can take some getting used to. Not much funtionality (its a fancy monitor with 3D ability). Can't be adjusted much apart from sitting on your face adjustments, but they are very light and comfortable. Can use them in daylight (indoors) perfectly well, but better using the black out covers supplied or in a darkened room. For AR glasses they dont seem too big to me. Very very easy to use (just plug them in. To put in 3D mode press a button. Brightness can be adjusted, press buttons). Changing volume is best done on the laptop/phone/PS5 unless you put the glasses button into a different mode and then instead of brightness controls they become volume controls. Image quality is miles better than my Meta Quest 2 headset. Be under no illusion - what you are buying is a monitor for your face - that is it - ignore AR unless you have the right phone or buy Beam Pro. Then you might have to buy prescription lenses (I looked and they were £95 extra + eye test fees). If you want more functionality (getting into AR) other than a wonderful monitor you'll be buying a Xreal Beam Pro (£240 on their website). If you only have HDMI output on your PC you'll need to buy another attachment (HDMI to USB-C £35 unless you buy a Beam). Plus HDMI attachments/converters don't always supply power to the USB-C so make sure you research which one to buy. [Update] I came back to add. Running steam VR with a RTX 3050 Ti based laptop and the HDMI to USB-C PD adapter that was advertised as an AR headset adapter doesn't appear to work (not yet). Steam VR says that it doesn't see my headset which is in 3D mode and is working. The glasses used as just a monitor - fantastic. The glasses as a 3D video viewer (fantastic providing the video is in the correct resolution - most aren't). The glasses for 3D games - troublesome. Also, although the HDMI to USB-C converter works and sees the Air 2 as a sound output the sound doesn't work with this HDMI comverter so research which one does (I can't find one that definitely works). It might be that I'll get Steam VR working (Meta Quest VR headset was also troublesome) with the Air 2 glasses but converting HDMI ports to powered USB-C displays is not easy to pick the right product. 3D is not easy to get working from Windows 11. I'm no mug at this computer stuff and these these are troublesome to make work. I reduced by a star. I wont send these glasses back because I want them as a monitor, they are very good quality, but if you want extra features like virtual workspaces that require an App, or you want 3D games I am sure there are other glasses that are easier to get working. (I note that XReal have also stopped selling the Air 2 Pro glasses. Presumably Beam Pro will soon end). This is an end of life product that will not get bug fixes or features enhanced.

Theese are superb. The brightness of the OLED, colours and. Contrast, sharpness is something else. I did buy the XREAL Beam and I feel it's a necessary add on.. .I feel.for.the price though it should have been included as you need it to "pin" the image in place rather than follow where your looking. It's fine without but for gaming it's a much better experience having it pinned so you can look around easier. Very happy with them though. It's plug and play with my rog ally. And also was plug and play with my mum's laptop that has usb-C. It currently doesn't support Google pixel phones. But works withy iPad. With them being OLED. They use far far less battery than the ROG Ally's LED screen so it last longer. There is no battery inside the glasses that are powered by the device it's attached to. Or the beam if you get that. If you get the beam, the ROG ally will last even longer as it's not powering any display. Downside I'd say is it's expensive, and the best functionality should be included. As it gives the XREAL air 2's it's full functionality. Not only that look how Cool I look wear them hehe 🤗

I really wanted to love these glasses, but I struggled to get them working with my Samsung S22+, and after initially working with my laptop, they stopped working and told me that my graphics card was not good enough. That would have seemed fair, had it now been working fine for the first week. I would have struggled on, but the support from Xreal was nonexistent with all help links only going to their latest models. Also I am pretty long sighted (+6) and spent £100 on compatible prescription lenses which worked well when the glasses were working, but when there was a problem with connecting, I had to keep taking them off and swapping glasses to see what my phone and laptop were saying. These are potentially great display glasses, but issues with the Nebula app on both Android and Windows made this a very difficult and unpleasant experience. I have reluctantly returned them to Amazon.

This adapter works as expected with the AR glasses I bought from Nreal, essentially all it does is convert type C display port from out of the glasses into whatever HDMI output you need, whether that’s to adapt it into your lightning/display port adapter for your iOS device, or to hook it up to an HDMI cable for your desktop, laptop, or other console. Works good, solid quality so far most impressed.

They stole My first one out of my rental car I don’t get why they stole this cause they need the glasses but anyway it’s really annoying how expensive this charging adapter is and the worse part is that it takes so long to deliver but works great for iphone wish they had nebulas set up

Getting this adapter let’s u use the steam deck with the glasses then charge the deck on the dock and use this adapter to the steam dock to keep using the glasses. Also pairs with a hdmi to,lightning apple adapter to hook up to apple devices!

I have the Nreal Light and Air glasses and have used them with Android and Mac for a while. I decided to get the adapter for HDMI and iOS recently. I am impressed with how well this works. It’s simple: it makes a heads up display for the glasses. No frills or augmented reality. Just a nice big display. And it works.

Did not fit official Apple Lightning AV Digital Adapter - so pretty much worthless for an iPhone user!
