Rokid Mini Hub Charging Converter, Max AR Glasses Accessories for Switch XboxSmart Phone, Use While Charging, Suits Max & AR Joy Pack Glasses

Relatively affordable and high-def AR glasses are relatively new, and the tech is definitely going through some janky growing pains. When it works it's great, and I even got rid of my bulky TV because I rarely used it and when I wanted a larger screen, lounging back with the Xreal Glasses was more enjoyable and immersive. But the operative phrase is "when it works". After getting the glasses, it became apparent that something that should be simple, namely charging the device you're using while utilizing the glasses, requires some cumbersome work arounds. In my case, I found a small USB-C hub that let me charge whatever I was using, but no hub I could find would let me pass video directly out through USB. Instead, I needed an HDMI to USB-C adapter. This was a bulky, hacky solution for video, as shown in the first pictures. Unfortunately, audio would not output through the glasses, and I would need to plug in seperate headphones through a jack or bluetooth. Suddenly my dream of a portable monitor was filled with dongles and accessories. Xreal did eventually release a firmware update that could pass HDMI audio through, but this required holding a button on the glasses for several seconds, at which point the glasses would reboot. Unfortunately, I needed to do this every time I plugged in the glasses, which takes several seconds of staring at a black screen. And worse, seemingly at random the audio would cut out for seconds at time, probably due to buggy software on the glasses. All of this was just added friction to enjoying the glasses. This product does everything I want, which is to simply charge my phone or Steam Deck while using the glasses. For that it works great and as advertised, and it even natively allows audio straight through USB to the built-in speaker on the glasses. Finally, something that works and comes in a very compact and sleek package. Not only that, I think this will be the only sleek solution for quite awhile, until someone like Samsung or Apple comes along and offers some kind of fully wireless lightweight device in a decade or so.

Lo compre principalmente para utilizar con las xreal air y la steam deck, funciona perfectamente.

No funciona. La primera vez que lo conecte y no funciona.

Built very well, compact, and a must-have for anyone using Rokid AR glasses. I have the Nreal Air though, and was looking for a similar solution to play/watch and charge simultaneously. Hoping this might be useful for my brand of AR glasses, I took a chance, and unfortunately I could not get this to work with the Nreal Air when connected to the Steam Deck or S22 Ultra. This is a Rokid product for a Rokid device, but a man can dream. The product itself does what claims to do, and feels premium. 5 stars. If Rokid did make this compatible with the Nreal glasses, it would be one of the only ways to actually play and charge at the same time, so I can't help but feel like this was a missed opportunity that would greatly increase the demand for this. Hopefully there is an easy solution for Nreal users in the future.

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 begin The 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 design Rokid 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 comparable 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 be holding onto the set in the meantime while I see what the company says but wanted to make sure this review will be up through the holidays so customers can make an informed decision not to buy it- since refunded reviews don't show to the public- I will update this review as things progress with Rokid support- Do 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- Thanks for reading and happy holidays!
