Nice to read I'm not alone thinking of this nomadic kind of setup. And also I got the feedback I hoped on the Xreal Air 2 glasses : https://eu.shop.xreal.com/fr/products/xreal-air-2

Hey thanks (I'm the author)! BTW the "Pro" version has the electrochromic dimming, so I recommend paying a little extra for that unless you're really sure you're not going to need it.

EDIT: To clarify, I meant the "Xreal Air 2 Pro", not the "Xreal One Pro". The latter are much more expensive.

Your price point for the used glasses is quite lucky to just play around with it or using it sometimes.

They cost 800 new :|

1080p is that really okay?

They are $299 on sale on the vendor website right now. I won't link because I don't want to promote them necessarily, but I think you must have seen a different vendor or something?

I also paid less than $300. OP must be referring to a different model.

Looks like they’re weirdly expensive through the EU store. Just navigate from xreal.com - I see them for $US 299
