For air travel, I really like my Xreal Air glasses now that I have a newer iPhone 16pro. Just plug in the USB-C cable, and you have a virtual 60" screen in front of you which works perfectly for Netflix, etc. And they cost less than 10% of the cost of an AVP, and are not limited to 2-3 hours of battery life (they get power from the phone).

Note that if you have an older (lightning) iPhone, don't bother with these. They require a pair of dongles. Not only does that make things really awkward, but one of the dongles ends up apparently blocking HDCP, and prevents you from using anything but ... your own... downloaded content.

I tried to find a feature/spec comparison of different xreal air models currently for sale on their website and utterly failed.

Or they intentionally want to confuse people

It's pretty bad.

Air: the originals, still rather good, just reinforce the fragile temples

Air 2: the current standard, pile of minor upgrades and higher durability

Air 2 Pro: same as the Air 2 with an electronic dimming option for the lenses

Air 2 Ultra: the Air platform dev kit

The very bottom of the Air 2 page has an Air/2/Pro comparison.
