Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've owned these glasses for a week now and think as long as you know and understand the limitations, there is no better product for the price. These are NOT VR glasses, AR with these seems mostly like a gimmick at this point in time. They work great as a giant screen on your face. Putting them on the first time felt like I was just thrown into the future. I work in tech and am also a tech enthusiast. I've used these glasses so far with a steam deck, iPad, Macbook, and Samsung Galaxy s20 ultra. I'm keeping them mainly to use with my Macbook, S20, and steam deck. All for slightly different reasons. I've used the glasses for about 20 hours total over the last week. Starting with the glasses themselves, I mainly bought them to use as a giant screen on my face, and they excel at that. The FOV is narrower than i'm used to with VR headsets, but in this case it works in Nreal's favor since the lower FOV means a higher pixel density and things are very clear. Much clearer than I thought 1080p screens would be. Text is totally readable and there is no screen door effect like with my Quest 2 VR headset. The only part of the screen that gets a little weird is the top of the screen if the glasses sit too low on my nose or the bottom outside corners of the screen if it sits too high. My IPD is 69, so i'm a little on the wider side but when I get the glasses situated on my face correctly, I can see the entire screen. The colors are very vibrant (more so in dark rooms rather during the day but even during the day its bright enough to see just fine) Comfort wise, the nose pads aren't bad for short sessions, but anything longer than an hour or so and it makes me wish they were a little softer or some sort of memory foam or something other than tiny silicon pads. The glasses themselves are also a little short on the ear bars so the curve on the ear bars don't wrap around my ears like they really should, the clamping pressure is also a little tight for my head but not bad enough to cause me headaches or anything like that. Just a little sore after a few hours. I do wish the glasses were overall a little bigger, i think they would be a lot more comfortable (at least for me) The included shade works really well, I wish the glasses themselves didn't have tint so if I want to use it with my macbook its not like i'm looking through sunglasses to my macbook. I'd rather have clear lenses and the option to put on the shade to black it out if I want to only use the Nreal glasses as my screen. I do like the glasses do not have any battery in them and pulls power off of the device you plug into. Makes the glasses light and extremely portable. iPad use - basically acts like you just plugged in an external monitor, it mirrors the screen and if you go to watch a video it'll throw the video to the glasses. Nothing super amazing and I don't like that I can't turn the iPad screen off. Thats not Nreal's fault though, thats on apple. Steam deck use - These work really well with the steam deck. The steam deck screen turns off and you get a big screen in front of you. Its great. Battery life on the steam deck seems about the same using the glasses vs using the screen on the steam deck. Its really comfortable to not have to look down at the screen. Macbook Pro m1 - This is where Nreal's Nebula software really shines. Basically it tricks your Macbook into putting 3 virtual screens in space above your actual Macbook. The middle screen is the same as your Macbook screen but you can look left and right and see the other two screens. Very nice for productivity and I see myself using this extensively while working. I just wish the glasses themselves had clear lenses so if the shade wasn't I could still see my Macbook screen clearly. Samsung S20 Ultra - This is where these really shine IMO. There are a couple ways you can use the glasses with android phones. Mirroring the screen (pretty much the same experience as the iPad, functional but not great), the Nebula app (Feels like a gimmick, the software maturity isn't there to be useful yet IMO), or in Samsung Dex mode. Dex mode is the best mode for this. Basically gives you a full size desktop screen in the glasses like you are on a computer and all your android apps work within it in windowed or full screen mode. Pairing an xbox controller to the phone and then using xbox gamepass, or steam link to stream games from my gaming PC is really amazing that something so portable can give you such a great experience. Put the phone on a wireless charger and you can basically play games as long as you want. Watching TV from hulu, netflix, plex, etc also just works. I can see this being amazing for flying, long car rides, train rides, in bed while sick, etc. These are expensive but this is the first piece of technology i've used in a while where i've felt this amazed and excited for what the future holds for this kind of product. I think its worth the price of entry, but its much more an accessory to devices you may already have rather than a main device so my recommendation is to look at what you have and if you would benefit with your current devices or not. For me, it does but I can understand where it wouldn't for a lot of people at this point in time.
