I've used nreal air.
The good:
- Great form factor
- Image quality for screen mirroring is great
- Display has good brightness
- Decent speakers
The bad:
- Nebula (AR software that allows projecting multiple screens) has a worse image quality (I see some flickering). It's also buggy (e.g. it doesn't work on latest MacOS)
- Slightly heavy. You would start feeling the weight on your ears after wearing it for an hour or so.
- When screen mirroring an M1 Mac, the display settings on Mac doesn't allow you to resize the screen. It works on an Intel Mac though.
Eventually I decided to return it as I want to wait for the device to mature and I don't really have a strong need for AR glasses at this time. I'd be looking forward to their next version.
I think the current AR glasses (Nreal, Rokid, etc) are probably at the same level of maturity as smart watches when they first came out in the early to mid 2010s.
