The Xreal Air 2 Pro AR glasses offer an intriguing blend of advanced display technology and portability, making them a potential game-changer for watching movies and using apps.
When you first put them on, the high-definition video quality, featuring two 1920×1080 OLED displays, is impressive. The glasses are lightweight and comfortable, and the virtual screen they provide rivals a decent television.
For frequent travelers, these glasses could offer a unique way to enjoy content during long flights, with the added bonus of not disturbing fellow passengers.
However, the Xreal Air 2 Pro doesnโt fully live up to its ambitious promise of being โone screen to replace them all.โ The AR features, powered by the Nebula program, are underwhelming.
Despite the potential for 3D applications and gaming, Nebula feels buggy and unfinished.
The glasses also face compatibility issues with certain devices, and setup can be a hassle, especially if you’re using a MacBook or a console like the Nintendo Switch or Xbox Series X. For console gamers, the need for an additional $50 adapter only adds to the frustration.

While the Xreal Air 2 Pro might be great for impressing friends or watching movies on the go, its technical shortcomings and frustrating setup mean it’s more suited for early adopters and frequent flyers than anyone else looking for easy, hassle-free tech.
