Rokid Max 2 AR Glasses Black, 215″ Micro-OLED Display, 50° FOV, 600 Nits Brightness, Compatible with Smart Phone, Steam Deck, ROG, and More, Immersive Wearable Display for Gaming & Entertainment

Better than my Xreal Air
I have been using the Rokid Max AR glasses mainly for watching videos and gaming, and overall they are pretty impressive for what they are. Once you plug them into a phone or laptop, it feels like you have a giant screen floating in front of you. The picture looks sharp and smooth, and watching movies or YouTube feels way more immersive than using a regular screen. I also like how lightweight they are since they do not feel heavy on my face even after a while.One feature I really appreciate is the built-in vision adjustment, which saved me from needing prescription lenses. The sound is okay for casual use, but I still prefer headphones for better audio. Since the glasses need to stay connected to another device, they are not completely wireless, which can be a little annoying. Still, for travel or relaxing at home, the Rokid Max works great as a personal big-screen experience.The arms works great with flatter nose like mine so it doesn’t sit on my face, and the retention of the temples make it fit securely on my face for longer movies session. It is very easy to use, just plug 1 end into my iPhone or iPad or Mac and you are transformed into that world. I have the Xreal Air and this is way better because I can adjust it to my eyes prescription number on the fly.

Great product. Not for me.
Fun device, but definitely something that is and wasn’t apart of my use case. I’m unsure if I’d purchase another.

Not AR- absolute scam
False advertisement.This is not an AR headset nor does it have any Augmented Reality capabilities.Buyer beware- I am no stranger to AR and VR having several headsets.I had heard good things about a new up and comer Rokid and decided to give them a try, sadly it’s the most disappointing headset I have purchased.To be clear I got the rokid max headset, the rokid station and rokid hub.Let’s beginThe rokid hub is useless, not only is it not usable with the rokid station which has its own power port, it will not work with my phone, I have a rugged armored phone (no case it’s all built in) and as such the USB-C will not reach to the phones port- poor designRokid station- the rokid station is of poor design, small battery at 5000mah smaller than a cheap power bank, it is not compatible with many apps, the power button is on the side and easily bumped in a pocket turning it off mid use- worse their own Rokid app which claims to hold the keys to the headsets AR functionality is not compatable with it and will not install from Google Play. It’s marketed as the compatability fix for connecting to any device- however that is only in the way of you can cast from a device to it and then it shunts that cast to the headset- any phone can do this.However it’s not even good as a phone substitute- it has no sim card slot so only works on WiFi so good luck using it on the go- likewise or has very little inbuilt storage so you can’t even store significant video on it for offline use. It’s basically got the inner workings of an old iPod pretending to be the fix for compatibility and portability.Rokid Max headset- where even to begin? It is only a wearable screen- that is all it does- if you want a poorly functional video screen strapped to your face like a high faluting Google cardboard then this is for you. However if your expecting any AR or VR functionality your going to be sorely disappointed like I am.It has no control interface- no cameras in or outward facing for eye or head tracking, no hand tracking gesture controls, only 3 buttons which control volume and power, nor does it have any means of connecting to a Bluetooth controller of its own right.(With the station you could potentially connect something via Bluetooth or use the station as a remote to navigate video streaming but as it cannot do anything else why would you bother?) But for what just the headset can do on its own- nothing no controls, no Bluetooth, no wifi, only corded access via C cable.This is by far one of the absolute worst stand alone headsets I have ever used and is completely useless without the $200 station which only lets you stream video.For a $400+ retail headset that’s an absolute joke and is a con to those wanting to dip their toes into the emergent AR market- products like this damage the entire industry by having people try them as their beginner set and being so dissatisfied they will be slow to try another more expensive headset.I have reached out to the Rokid support to see what they have to say but I don’t have high hopes beyond offer of a refund.I will update this review as things progress with Rokid support-**** Update****Been back and forth with support- which was just awful, I don’t think I’ve dealt with support with that bad of customer service before.They started by insulting my intelligence and asking me if I understood the difference between AR, VR, and Ai and explained more of their customers do not understand the difference.After providing them with the definitions of each they simply responded that it is infact AR because they say it is, despite actually being just a HMD (head mounted display) they then told me if I don’t like it to go through Amazon for a return while refusing to explain to me why they are still selling a product they no longer support with their own application which is required for much of the supposed features to function besides to say application functions are not covered by their warranty. In the end their representative Cecilia recommended I purchase from another company if I actually want AR glasses as even their higher end ones don’t fit the accepted definition of what AR is-Again I must reiterate- this is a head mounted display- not AR- it’s is only AR in name as that is the buzzword they printed on the packaging! AR by right of them calling it AR despite not having AR functionality.Look at the good reviews- if all you want is a head mounted display it’s not half bad if that’s all you want- I might even go so far as to say it’s pretty good for a HMD if only it had built in Bluetooth or a micro SD slot for offline use- but the terrible customers service is enough to convince me to go with a better company/manufacturerDo yourself a favor and get a better headset- one that is actually AR- because despite the advertisements for it this one has absolutely no AR functionality- and the company has rude, and downright insulting customer service representatives.Thanks for reading and happy holidays!
