I'm new to AR (augmented reality). I bought this cheaper version to try out, to see all the hype. First of all, I bought an external HDMI to USB-C DP adapter, for my PC, and my AR glasses shows the screen ok. I can't figure out how to get the AR / VR functions to work. (Also, the majority of people have HDMI. I don't know why they don't provide this adapter. Actually, my computer has the full DP (Display Port) connector. So, I needed an additional adapter. To convert DP to HDMI. Then the HDMI adapter to USB-C DP. Why go from DP to HDMI, then back to DP ??? Makes no sense.)After EXTENSIVE reading, what they DON'T tell you, if you want all the functionality of AR / VR, you MUST use an Andrion SmartPhone (Apple won't work.). A regular PC can't support this. Why? A PC is more powerful than a SmartPhone, and SHOULD be able to provide all of this functionality. But, ... nope. They don't tell you this, or make it known.Plus, you MUST use a specific SmartPhone. One that has USB-C, and is capable of outputting Display Port (DP) (Audio/Video) over USB-C. Most SmartPhones don't have this capability, ... IF YOU WANT TO USE THE AR/VR FUNTIONALITY OF THE GLASSES !!!Other names for this, (your phone must be capable of this):HDMI Alt ModeUSB Type-C Alt ModeUSB-C DisplayPort (DP Alt Mode)DisplayPort Over USB-CDisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-CIf you just want to mirror/show the screen, then these glasses does that, ... without the special phone, withOUT the AR/VR capabilities of the glasses.Oh, one last thing. For us older people, they need to design a spot to insert different "reader glasses" magnification. The screen is too blurry for me.---Part 2 (day 2): I found my HTC U20 5G smart phone. I bough it a year ago, and used it on AT&T. Then in February 2022, AT&T says they will no longer support this phone, after upgrading their equipment to 5G, even though the HTC U20 is 5G. Anyway, I had this phone sitting in my bedroom drawer, not doing anything since then. This morning I charged up the phone, and installed the Rokid AR app. Wow !!! This makes 200% difference. I can use the Rokid glasses in AR/VR mode, finally.I'm still giving this from 2 stars to 3 stars. To enjoy AR/VR 3D mode, you MUST have a compatible smartphone, which is usually around $400-$1,500. Not only do you pay $320 for the Rokid AR glasses, you need to pay an additional $500 for a smart phone. If you connect the AR glasses to a PC (PS/Xbox/Cable Box/etc...), you canNOT enjoy AR/VR, only screen mirror/extension (Virtual Screen). While my older mixed reality VR goggles which cost $200 total, can connect to a PC and have VR mode experience. They need to make the Rokid AR app for the PC, like the VR goggles have.

So I have the Meta Quest 2 VR headset and wanted to try the AR experience. At first I tried the TCL NXTWear G Ar Glasses. When I first placed them on my head noticed that were very uncomfortable no matter how I adjusted them or changed the nose piece. The frames dug into the side of my head. They seemed like low level glasses. I was attracted to them by the price and the coupon offer thinking all AR glasses are the same to some degree. I read most of the reviews and saw the comparisons on You Tube. The clarity was great and the extra optical Len was a good idea. Comfort was not there and couldn’t wear them very long. Had to return them. Next I got the Rokid Air Ar glasses and I am very satisfied with this purchase. Clarity and comfort was better than the TCL glasses. I paid more money but it was worth it. I would have liked to try the NREAL glasses as advertised but Iam satisfied and happy with the Rokid Air purchase.For those who are thinking buying AR glasses, you should also try the Meta Quest 2 to understand the difference between the AR and VR world. The Quest 2 glasses are big and bulky but they blow away AR glasses, They are much more immersive for gaming and watching movies , the 3D experience ,etc. They are well worth the money. I love my Rokid Air glasses and use them a lot to also watch tv and movies . I mostly use them as an extended monitor for my iPad and PC. They very light weight and the twin OLED lens are awesome. Unlike the Quest 2 you can see just about everything around you. With a laptop they offer privacy. I would like to see more IOS apps developed for these glasses. With the right adapters you can connect to almost anything with these glasses. When directly connected to my iPad I had trouble watching movies using a few subscription service apps. One was HBO. I found out this is due to DRM regulations. You could view the ads and some previews but when the movie starts, the screen goes blank. There was a work around though. With a powered HDMI to USB c adapter and HDMI coupler(if needed) you can plug the glasses into an Apple TV box, Firestick, or Google Chromecast device . Using the remote you can maneuver through and watch all of the TV/movie apps..With a Bluetooth controller you can even play games as well.Hope this helps.

I bought this thing purely out of curiosity. After giving it a good couple months, I can't recommend this device to just about anyone at this price point.Specific reasons for not recommending include:-Too bulky/ugly/uncomfortable: Not VR-headset levels, but you won't be wearing this in public.-Sucks to use with multiple devices. If all you want it for is mirroring an iPad or android tablet, great! Works perfect, one cable. If not, get ready for dongle hell. (tested on an iPad mini; ymmv with other devices)-OK quality: the screen is nice and legible, if a little on the small side. Older eyes may struggle, but at least there is no screen door effect. Other reviews seem to be misleadingly positive about the quality. These do not beat just having a 1080p or 1440p monitor in front of your face.-Poor build quality: I found the alignment of the screens to be ever so slightly off in my unit. Not enough to prevent me from viewing the screen, but enough for some eye strain and headaches. YMMV there, but overall the construction is simply mediocre.-Less than perfect privacy: Observing myself in the mirror, you can definitely see the reflection of whatever is being viewed on the glasses. If you are looking for a completely private viewing, this isn't the product for you.I think it would be best for anyone curious to avoid this type of product for now, wait until the tech gets better. No clue how long that could be; as-is, even just buying it out of curiosity I feel like I wasted my money. If you have a specific use case in mind for it, or you are loaded with cash and curious, go for it. Otherwise I can't recommend these glasses.

The screen size is relatively small, only focused in the center, and with no way of spreading the distance of the projection screens, I was unable to focus both screens. The nose bridge is also very, very small, so the natural screen line up with my pupils was half of the display. I had to push down on the frame to see the entire display.

It'd be a keeper if the views are focused and working. But I spent hours trying to tune it so I can see everything in a focused and readable manner so I can be productive, but this isn't the case for me. Cannot justify spending $500 on something you cannot use and blurry. It could be a defective set, maybe the new MAX unit will be better. But to me, the verdict is unusable piece of equipment. It'd be sad if all AR glasses will be blurry for people and need hours of fine tuning
