XREAL Air 2 and Air 2 Pro Hit Lowest Price Yet, Sale Ends May 6

[EileenCruz]

XREAL’s flagship AR glasses, the Air 2 and Air 2 Pro, are now available at their lowest prices to date. The limited-time sale runs through May 6 and is live on Amazon, marking a rare discount for both devices in the company’s growing lineup of wearable displays.

Discount Brings Flagship Models Under $300​

The Air 2 is currently listed at $249, down from its usual $299. Meanwhile, the more advanced Air 2 Pro is now $299, a full $100 off its regular $399 price. These deals are among the steepest discounts seen for either model since their release.

Both glasses are lightweight (72g), offer a 130-inch virtual screen, and support 1080p per eye at a 120Hz refresh rate. Each unit also comes with a zero-pressure nose pad and ultra-soft temples for extended wear.

Air 2 Pro Adds Immersion Tech​

What sets the Air 2 Pro apart is its inclusion of electrochromic dimming—technology that adjusts the lens transparency based on environment or user preference. This feature draws comparisons to Apple’s high-end Vision Pro, though at a fraction of the price.

The Pro model also uses Sony’s Micro-OLED panels and is TÜV Rheinland certified for color accuracy and eye safety.

Wide Compatibility for Gamers and Mobile Users​

Both the Air 2 and Air 2 Pro support a wide range of devices through USB-C with DisplayPort output. These include the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, newer iPads and iPhones (with adapter), and most Windows PCs and Android phones.

Gamers, streamers, and remote workers have adopted the glasses for use as a private wearable monitor, one that doesn’t require a full headset or tethered display.

Formerly known as Nreal, XREAL is a global developer of augmented reality display hardware. The company focuses on creating lightweight, high-resolution wearable displays for consumer entertainment, productivity, and mobile gaming.

Availability​

The prices are valid through May 6, 2025, or while supplies last. The offer is available through Amazon, and some listings include on-page coupons that must be manually applied at checkout.

Consumers interested in trying AR glasses without committing to a headset-based system may want to act now. More information can be found on Amazon's XREAL Air 2 listing or on XREAL's official site.

This sale might finally push me to try AR glasses. I’ve never been able to afford this kind of tech before. I use a compatible Android phone, and the idea of having a 130-inch screen to study or watch lectures is exciting. I live in a shared apartment and can’t always use my laptop speakers late at night, so this could help. I’ll probably go with the basic Air 2 since $249 is already pushing it for me, but it looks like a decent value.

I already have the Air 2 Pro and can say it’s one of the better AR glasses I’ve used. The electrochromic dimming makes a bigger difference than you’d expect—it helps focus on the content without distraction from the room. I mainly use it for watching videos during long flights or gaming with my Steam Deck. The weight is low enough that you forget you’re wearing them after a while. I paid full price a few months ago, so seeing them at $299 now kind of stings, but I’d still recommend it. It’s not perfect, but for casual AR use, it’s solid.

From a developer perspective, I think this sale is a good opportunity for people to explore AR without needing to invest in expensive, closed ecosystems like Apple’s. I’ve used the Air 2 Pro to test simple immersive UI layouts and presentations, and the Sony micro-OLED panels offer decent fidelity. The color accuracy is noticeably better than cheaper headsets. Of course, these aren’t true spatial AR devices like HoloLens, but for screen mirroring and productivity, they’re efficient and easy to deploy. I often show prototypes using these during client meetings.

As someone who creates video content and does a lot of editing, the idea of having a mobile monitor that’s this light and portable is attractive. I already use an iPad Pro for field work, and if this can work with it—even with an adapter—it might help me stay productive outside the studio. I don’t have much interest in full VR systems; they’re clunky. The Air 2 Pro seems more like a practical tool than a toy. Also, $299 is manageable for a business expense, especially considering the tech packed into this thing.

My teenage son has been asking for these glasses for months. I’ve done some reading, and I’m still unsure about screen time and eye safety. The TÜV Rheinland certification is reassuring, and I like that it’s not a full headset. He uses an Android phone and plays a lot of mobile games, so compatibility shouldn’t be an issue. The sale price helps, but I wish there were more parental reviews. I want to support his interest in tech, but I also want to be careful. Maybe I’ll buy it and test it myself first.
