AR Glasses Showdown: XREAL Air 2 Pro vs Rokid Max vs Viture One XR 

Product links: - XREAL Air 2 Pro: amzn.to/3tBVMXg - Viture One XR: amzn.to/3vhtVw1 - Rokid Max: amzn.to/41VL2zT - XREAL Beam: amzn.to/41CpBDH

Im a simple techie, all I want is 1440p @400$. No frills, no speakers, no bloat application, just straight video.

Ah, this was the video I was looking for, a side by side comparison of the major AR glasses. Plus your comment at the end about limited productivity was VERY useful in that I was hoping to use the glasses that way. Thank you.

What a good comparison, for me as someone curious this is helpful to make an informed decision. Great format!

Thank you for very detailed comparison! There are so many sponsored videos about these glasses with no useful information. But this was very informative and practical. Can you do a video with TCL Rayneo Air 2 glasses and also Lenovo legion glasses?

I agree. I have tried all 3. Viture - liked the color reproduction and the electrochromatic dimming and the accessories (dock and neckband), didn't like the weak speakers and smaller display and no light blockers. Rokid - liked the bigger display and the speakers, didn't like the very dark contrast of the display. Xreal - liked the color reproduction, screen size, electrochromatic dimming, and speakers, didn't like the accessories or no built in diopters. The Xreal had the most pros and least cons for me. I might just pick up the Rokid Station 2 since the Xbeam is so half baked.

Excellent video comparing these devices. Thank you Rawan!

Great review and comparison, thanks! How comfortable do you think to work with text (coding, writing, reading, et ) in the xreal glasses?

Great comparison video, really helped narrow things down between these brands.

Thank you very much for such a well-spoken, profound, and immersive review. Truly a gem! Cheers!

Awesome review Rawan, just 1 question, have you tried SBS 3D content on xreal and rokids? I'd like to buy one but in my country there's no return policy since it'll be shipped overseas to me, appreciate your input.

I’ve been getting more interested in these in recent years as tech continues to progress, quality increases and cost starts making sense. This has always been a tech category I looked forward to flourishing!

Thanks for the video. I'm looking for ar glasses for daily usage with hand free usage, translating what I see and optionally taking photos and videos. I need multifocal prescription glasses that I change every 2 years. Did you make a video for this kind of device?

Spectacular review. I will hold off until the tech improves or the Xreals go on clearance, but I'm subscribing to this channel to stay up to date!

What kind of mic are you using for your videos? Sound great

Thanks for the detailing video. I love my Xreal air2 pro. It is flawless wn connected in Dex mode. I'm now able to do so much with the Beam too... got all my 3rd party apps easily installed. Did not require any jail-breaking I'm now waiting for the Xreal glasses to go wireless

Agreeing with you, we're not quite _There_ yet, with this technology. The promise it holds is fantastic, though. I wanted so much to want to keep the xreals that I bought for Black Friday, but it just was not to beeee. I have a question for you: Around 19:45 you show the underbelly of the xreals, and from that we can clearly see the circular rings that surround the OLED display. In my experience, I just kept noticing those rings in my periphery, over and over again. How did Rokkid and Viture fare, with regards to distracting architecture in the periphery?

Probably one of the product comparisons I've seen in a long time, and the fact its the exact 3 models I've been looking at is a cherry on the cake.. I was dithering on the Air 2... but it seems a no-brainer to get the Air 2 Pro... Order placed, will be here Saturday 🕺

What about the TCL RayNeo XR NXTWEAR S? Ive found them in $300

Great review thanks!!! I don't game, the ONLY reason I'm considering AR glasses is for reading sheet music (3 sheets side by side in portrait mode) during gigs instead of setting up an AIO 21" device on my music stand. I have a Windows based, pdf sheet music app that i use on my Windows Surface and hoping i can use AR. As I understand. Xreal Pro seems to be the best of the bunch for this purpose. Would that be a safe assumption? Any comments are welcome, thanks.

Thank you for the thorough review. I sincerely appreciate the time and thought you put into this.

Thanks for this, im convince to get the xreal air 2 pro now. But i do have futher questions like do i want to get the beam as well as the lens adaptors. Im also wearing glasses around 550 to 650 degrees. And actually planning to use it for my commute to work on train or buses. Would you say its possible that i can say watch a movie while walking on the streets and still be sort of aware of the place im walking ,at least not to bump into people or a pole. Not sure if the beam is needed. Since im probably gonna use it with my phone which is a compatible phone with the app and my windows laptop , hoping to use with 2 screen projection. Would like to see what is your say. Oh as well as battery, since i notice only rokid have an adaptor that can charge and plug in the cable at the same time. Not sure if xreal have a similar thing or i could just but rokid adaptor to use it on xreal.

Excellent review, Question: How enjoyable is the screen size in XREAL? Does it take time for the brain to adjust, to think of it as a big screen?

Now this is the video I needed. Thank you.

I’ve been heavily debating and researching but I think this video convinced me to try the Air 2 pros. The ultra is coming out but it’s too pricey lol

Thanks for the video, just wondering what's your interpupillary distance (IPD)? I've heard of the Xreals having a smaller designed IPD range, which is making some people see blurry edges.

Thanks for a nice comparison. I wonder if one could use such glasses for video calls with Zoom or Meet? Clearly I would not appear on the call, but having a chance to see the whole team, shared screen etc while walking in the park sounds like a very good use case for such glasses. What do you think?

I bought in to the nreal pro back before they changed their name to xreal. While they work great for gaming, especially on my steam deck, i have had some major issues with them that i haven't been able to find if they were fixed on the pro 2. For example, Burn in is a major issue if you use it on your PC as a monitor substitute, all my icons in my windows bar have been burned into my display. Also because the light is partially reflected to allow it to be see through, the image is noticable darker making dark games near impossible to play if they dont have some form of gamma correction.

I'm looking at xreal 2 pro. Have you done a breakdown on them?

this is good quality content from a man with same questions as me before i buy. thank you

In general, how do these work for a person who needs readers when reading something up close. Will the screen be blurry?

I am looking for glasses that I can use primarily while exercising at the gym (to watch RU-vid or other programs directly from my phone). Because I don't think any of them can be used safely while walking or running. Which would you favor in such a case?

I'm interested in AR glasses for use in viewing an active spectrogram while conversing with another person. The spectrogram is a continuous real time video of audio information, specifically frequency versus time. Spoken words are picked up and processed into the video by a separate device and the video would be streamed from the device to the glasses. In the video many words and phrases appear as recognizable shapes - so viewing the video can be of immense benefit to the hearing impaired. The advantages of the spectrogram video over speech-to-text is 1) low latency (

Witch one do you recommend for gaming I'm looking for one that's good

Good review - thanks. I purchased the Viture - waiting for it to arrive and hope I like them.

So basically, does the Xreal enable pinning of the screen (say watching Netflix on Samsung Fold 4) without any accessory like Beam, etc.?

@RawansReviews How do you think the viture pro XR glasses compare to these?

I got some xreal air 2 pro ecently, but I'm having an issue where the view feels obstructed unless I take off the nosepiece. any ideas? I have to move around on my face to see the entire screen, with having to push hard against my face to see everything. Its always blurry in one of the corners when i move it around on my face.

Nice and detailed review, many thanks for that. I've been meaning to get the Air 2 Pro but what held me back is the device support. I'm using Galaxy Tab A9 (7inch) and it doesn't have Type C displayport meaning if I want to use the glasses I will need a new device that supports it which is kinda sucks. My use case scenario is to read my books from the tab and once in a while gaming on steam deck and while gaming should be a non issue I still can't justify the fact that not all my devices supports it.

I got the Xreal Air 2 Pro's on a pre order and was kind of on the fence about them but after watching your video and hearing the comparisons first hand i'm glad i got the Air 2 pro's. My only issue so far is I'm currently testing ways to get the Xbox app to run on it for remote play on the beam without the need to be connected to a smartphone.

thank you for that very good review..you explined very well especialy the difference between the glasses and the vr headsets.i have meta quest 3 which which i mostly use for media.for what it does its amazing.i was thinking of buying glasses but i think i will wait especialy id x real install diopters.they are my favourite in glass category.

Is there a way to get a virtual monitor from a Windows PC working wirelessly? Like for exercising in the treadmill

I have the XREAL Air 2 Pro glasses. The beam is not usable because it is so laggy. Also, the mirror function keeps disconnecting and the apps in beam is download forever

AMAZING COMPARISON RAWAN!!! IVE GOT THE XREAL PRO 2S THE BEAM AND THE USB TO HDMI CABLE IN MY AMAZON CART I HAVE A FEW DEVICES A ONEPLUS 12 ON THE WAY A FOLD 3 AND THE GOOGLE PIXEL TABLET PLUS A DECENT WINDOWS LAPTOP ITS A LENOVO WITH 8GBS OF RAM AND A RYZEN 3 7320U AND AN XBOX SERIES S. DO YOU THINK ILL BE GOOD TO GOOD TO WATCH NETFLIX PRIME DISNEY PLUS/HULU ? PLUS GAME ON MY SERIES S AND DO LIGHT INPUT WORK ON MY LAPTOP? KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT MAN!.

Thank you for sharing such an informative video. 😊

what's the radiation absorption rate on this thing

I've had the Xreal Airs for ages but only figured out DEX mode and wow, it actually got me using my glasses again for something other than watching Netflix (which I barely do, as it gives me a headache). For anyone who's looking to up their productivity or entertainment, I think these glasses are great. Just don't expect anything by way of AR or decent software -- these companies are only out to push hardware with minimal investment. Thank you for the video, it's good content. Was actually thinking whether the XREAL Ultra is worth it but I think I'm still happy with my Airs (and the haven't seen much use to begin with).

Nice comparison video. I got the Viture glasses with neckband for Christmas, but I am finding, like you, that they aren't very comfortable. They squeeze the sides of my head. I debated back and forth between the Viture and the Xreal glasses, but ultimately went with Viture because of the media station in the Viture Neckband. Does the Rokid Station work with the Xreal glasses? I have heard that it works with the Viture glasses. All I want is for it to be able to play the content on the glasses. I don't care about the 3 DoF or any of that.

Hey. Thanks for the comparison video. Such videos are rare. I heard you saying about wearing contact lenses while using these glasses. With respect to Xreal Air 2 Pro glasses, how is your experience with contact lenses vs. prescription inserts ? I do feel a bit blurry edges when i use with prescription inserts, and i try to push the glasses closer to my eyes and nose for clearer view but then prescription glasses brush against my eye lids and dig my nose. Not a very pleasant experience. I am considering using these glasses with contact lenses, but I’m worried about any harm it may do to the eyes. Does it get very dry after using for like 2-3 hours of media consumption (with contact lenses) ? Is it convenient using with contact lenses ?

will u be getting the xreal ultra glasses

As an hvac tech this can help me when troubleshooting or looking up wiring schematics while working and doing what I am doing having the projected screen of diagrams can be very helpful

do you know if the xreal air i can use it wireless? Bluetooth or something? or you always have to connect it to your phone?

Great video. Can any of these work in true 6 DOF with an android phone? To support immersive environment as you walk.

for me there is just one question left: Would you rather use one of these AR Glasses on the go to work, or rather just use your macbook monitor? Thanks in advance!

I am thinking about getting the XReal Air 2 or a Quest 3... but I am concerned about the Resolution while watching something on it. Would you say Quests 25 ppd vs XReals 49 PPD is a massiv drawback?

You can do 3dof with just the viture glasses alone with a firmware update! Works great

This is the best comparison review for the AR glasses I have seen so far. I decided to go with viture one. Even it is not the most optimistic one( I think based on your review xReal air 2 pro is the best) however I don’t want to get another set of prescription glasses to make the glasses heavier.

Great review!

I was thinking about getting some ar glasses to game while in my truck. Using a monitor is incredibly uncomfortable.

Honestly the Viture's cons aren't too bad from what I've experienced. 8 months in & still great. I really want to test it when on an airplane since I just use it at home mainly.

one of the best reviews for buyers pov! for me it seems I will wait for "xreal air 3 pro" and hope it has dioptric correction.

@1:28 - An in-depth review of all 3 glasses respectively, with examples from gaming and/or AR apps (if possible), would be nice. Please? 🙂 @20:44 - Thank-you for the feedback, Rawan!

I would really appreciate if you could do a vid on waiting for the Xreal air Ultra and the Xreal air 2 pro. I've done some reading but can't find any downsides on it being meant for developers, since you can get the same functionality of the air 2 pro with potential updates making the ultra better in the future

I'm looking for a laptop monitor I can wear on my face for 1st person perspective games..... Would any of these work?

Truly great honest review! So glad you made this.. u probably would have got more views/likes if u loaded the video up with external exciting flashy footage of people using unrelated VR content😛

Excellent review.👍

Outstanding comparison, my friend. Well organised, cogent, pragmatic, and superbly delivered assessment. In addition, you paid for these glasses, so there is a lack of bias. Thank you. Subscribed! Personally, it's the Xreal. I have only a minor issue with distance sight. At 57, the issue is reading text etc. I also have a larger head. The dilemas are two fold: Firstly, with the pace of development, the next 'version' could make big improvements, but there again, one has to pull the trigger at some point. It's the same with all technology. My intention would be to use the glasses with an OLED Steam Deck. Secondly, my actual need for them. A great little gadget, but for casual gaming the Deck on it's own plus the ability to connect to a big television with ease makes the glasses more of a want than a need. I guess it is down to how you intend to use them and the context you will use them in. Regardless, I can only have this clarity as a result of your rarional and practical review, which is devoid of hype and constant references to everything being "cool" or "awesome". There is a post on Reddit which refers to the tendancy for some reviewers to massage the caperbilities of such products. On balance I will save the considerable outlay for the Air Pro 2's (about £500 quid without the beam) for something more productive' at this time. Its a heck of a lot to spend on a gadget and I can live without the FOMO. Best wishes, Paul.

What is the reason if you have -4 myopic you need to blast the rokid to -6? Don't we just need to adjust it based on our myopic? If I have -5 in each eye would the rokid be fine?

With any of these, does it feel like there's a giant screen slapped in front of your face (the same way you can put your phone display close to your eyes) or does it feel natural? Asking to get an idea how focusing works with them, does it strain the eyes or does it feel like focusing your eyes in real life

what about using them as alternative display for a smartphones and having the freedom to move your body freely? is that possible?

for the xreal 2 pro, will I be able to use it for cycling outdoors? Will be great if I can see navigation apps like google map..etc... in my visual rather than having to look at my phone on the phone holder at the bicycle front bar.

do any of these alert you to messages, emails etc from your phone and read them? And can any of these be used for navigation when walking?

Still waiting for one to have IPD adjustment. My IPD is around 69 to 70mm and the outside edges were blurry on every one I used. No way am I paying the amount of money they want to not be able to adjust the eye pieces for clear view.

suggestion please, get xreal air 2 pro now, or wait for sometime for possibility of 4k version?

Hi. Do you think i can use XReal air to read scores of music to play my saxophone? May be theres some problem with the movement of the body?

Wonderful and compressive review, I think I might go for the XReal Air 1 instead of 2 Pro. Like you said, the tech is still not there, so in 3-5 years there might be something much better and with higher resolution and immersion, and if you dont own anything right now, and dont have tons of money, getting the Air 1 seems like a decent compromise to everything. If was to compare this with the Meta Quest 3, would those be better for watching stuff on the go? I feel VR googles are too big for that, and these glasses being more discrete would suffice for media consumption.

This was the video I needed wish the lenovo glasses were here as well.

I got excited about VR glasses because I thought they would be prescription=-like lenses that you can adjust as your eyes change. I don't know why I thought that. Maybe the future will bring that to the glasses...

Good one, thank you !

I am a xreal air2 user. Many people think of this product as a replacement for a monitor. Although it can be used to watch videos and play games, I believe it cannot be used as a monitor replacement in everyday life. It has good readability, but it is very tiring on the PC when it is not a fixed monitor. I have PC Steam Deck Z Fold 4 iPhone 15, the Nebula app is garbage and it seems to be best used in Samsung Dex mode.

Are any of these really AR glasses? The Viture One XR, in particular, appears to be just a monitor on your face.

Thanks for the comparison review. I decided to pick up the XReal Air 2 Pro and Beam bundle from Amazon. I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra so the Nebula app will work for me. I do hope they get the Nebula app for Windows. Regards

Thanks Rawan!

Interesting. I’ve seen a lot of reports that xreal has messed up the polarization on the air 2 and it also has very blurry edges compared to the viture and air 1

I just bought the Viture One Xr on eBay... Comes with two adapters for the iPhone 14/ and USB C adapter for the iPhone 15. Which I thought was fantastic. My use case is to watch content or movies at home. Not really a gamer to say the least. The price was a mere 360 dollars which is definitely within my budget.

Great review. Can you check xreal ultra. Thanks

WHAT A DETAILED AND LOVELY COMPARISON. I have none neither I am planning to buy one, dude it's an expensive gadget 😅 I watched this video completely though simply because your video is entertaining to me and you know exactly how to make your audience understand in a very simple way. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵

I am only interested in the home cinema asoect. Do these glasses offer a better movie experience than meta 3?

I debating on getting air 2 or the Vision Pro from Apple

Don't you have blurry edges and also bubble effects over here and there with the xreal? The bubble effect can be seen while reading a text on mine. Therefore I will return mine back.

Please review the upcoming XReal Ultras! 🙌🏻

Great video, made me realize I shouldn't be buying these products yet, as they're not offering what I need. Thanks for the detailed info!

Based on my use case(just lying down while gaming or watching). I might opt for Rokid. They're way cheaper($260 from a local reseller). Would've liked the 3 modes on the xreal but I've read too many bad reviews for the beam(too noisy fan noise and overheats too quickly).

Very nice review. Can you see through the glasses when you use the blackout cover with the rockid max and with the xreal or you cannot see through the glasses at all? Thanks

Have you considered the tcl nxtwear s+?

From strictly a gaming standpoint (steamdeck) and watching movies on a flight/train, would you say the Xreal or Viture would be worth it? Not for everyday stuff. But I use my steamdeck about 20 hours a week or more and my commute is about 30-45 minutes. I don't mind paying money if it saves my neck from looking down. Should add I also have a -4.0 prescription in both eyes.

I read reviews on amazon of the xreal air and the xreal air 2's and there was one reviewer that had bought the newer ones to replace his first version and said they were a downgrade. At the time the the original airs were $299 so I went with those and was not disappointed. I use mine mostly for gaming and sometimes to watch youtube from my phone. The dex mode on my Samsung phone is the best way to use them to use the phone as a track pad. You can also screen mirror but I don't see much use for that. There is actually a sibe by side mode on the airs to watch 3d movies but I think the nebula app is the best way to watch 3d movies. If you can find the airs for $299, they are definitely worth the price.

Which one you recommend among these rokid max or xreal air2pro ??

2:06 You said it was completely different and then showed mixed reality and AR headsets lol. Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 are designed with AR in mind. Vision Pro especially is designed to be AR first with the emphasis being on pass through

What about vuzix z100 ??
