    Hi there. Nice to find a non paid reviewer. The only flaw is that I think you have the cases backwards. The hinged one is from the air 2 and the divided one is from the first edition. But maybe I've misunderstood you

    Hi. Good video. Everything correct, except for ONE SMALL HUGE DEFECT of the Air 2 Pro compared to the first model.
    Having the two smaller monitors, the icons and writing at the edges of the screen (for example those you have when transmitting the PC desktop) are very blurry, often illegible. Both on the right and left edges. The situation improves a little if you attach your eyes to the lenses of the glasses (your eyelashes must press against the lenses) and tilt the temples upwards, without letting them rest on your ears, but it is a position in which you absolutely cannot keep the glasses . This HUGE DEFECT makes the air 2 pro UNUSABLE for work. If a person uses them to work on the PC, they are absolutely no good and the first model is much, much better in this aspect. 0 blurry icons, 0 blurry writing. Perfect.
    Obviously I'm not making this up, it's simply what I was able to personally test after hours of comparative tests, given that I have both the xreal air1, the air 2 and the air2 Pro.
    When you do reviews, tell them all the things. Both positive and negative ones. Nobody gives people money and these products are, among other things, also expensive.
    Bye

    You've got my sub. I was on the fence between 1st & 2nd gen. Your video was EXACTLY the info I needed to make that decision. It also made me realize that I need the Beam to optimize my use case scenario, which would be to more finely tune the virtual display size. I will use this 100% for work with AutoCAD & 3D modeling. I'm a fan of that green decal kit too. Thanks again.

      I’ve got the Xreal Air’s. I’m relatively satisfied with them. I don’t see enough of a jump between the two new glasses to buy the new ones. I’d say the biggest convenience is now being able to use the Air with an IPhone 15 without an adapter, but that can be done on any model.
      Beam wise… It’s more work and limitation than the 330 inch screen is worth at the moment. If you have a Samsung Phone you can just use Nebula OR maybe one day they’ll release it on IOS.
      As a current user I’d wait, but if you’re new, the Pro’s ability to black the screen without the cover may come in handy at some point.
      Also if you have glasses it’s probably about $170 bucks or so for a prescription insert.

    I'm waiting on my stuff to be delivered. I didn't realize the Beam could have Amazon Prime Video installed natively .....That's realy good because I know the rokid joy player does that but I didn't realize the Beam also could do some of that. I'm 90% interesting in using as a display for existing devices but I can see a small ammount of time where popping into a natively stored APV app could be good to have still.

  • @mathieucorti9619

      @Kitsune205 Před 5 měsíci

      I use my Air's on a plane without the Beam and it's okay. It's easier to use them without the beam when you're laying down and your head is stationary because without the beam the image is all over the place. I can only imagine how fucked up it'd be on a bumpy train lol. I have the Beam as well and I was on the fence about getting one. I'd say get it because if you wanna use your Beams with a PC it's huge. I would totally have been upset without the beam lol.

    will say one thing that wasnt correct is that on the Pro version the electrochomatic dimming function is not on a button on the other arm, but is rather on the same button you use to turn the display on and off. double tap to change display and single tap to toggle dimming between 0, 33% and 100%,. if you have the lenses on a certain dimming setting and turn it off, it will go back to 0% and back again to whichever setting it was when it was on when you toggle the screen back on.

Just wanted to know if these glasses would allow both to happen at the same time. Thank you in advance for any advice.
