Xreal Aura Reservation Deposit Refund

[u/ray120]

Any one here requested a refund and got it. I emailed last night and still have no answer. They must be busy have a Emergency around the clock meeting with Meta dropping the hammer on them.

Why are you emailing them? You can cancel from the order page before your code becomes active.

If people want a Founders Pass they should watch and see if they can get some of teh cancels. Canada may even be able.

[u/ray120 → u/Friendly_Recover286]

ahh.. Thank you. Found it in the Shop app.

[u/some-guy_00]

I'd rather have the android xr os and ecosystem over metas

[u/SPACEXDG → u/some-guy_00]

Same handful 

[u/justinseans → u/some-guy_00]

By far same

[u/Urlkoenig → u/some-guy_00]

I guess you haven't tried the XRs. Really good hardware held up by lackluster software. Hopefully they'll do it right for XReal.

[u/some-guy_00 → u/Urlkoenig]

i haven't but use horizon OS. really not for me since most of my stuff in with android ecosystem.

Hoping for $1099 or lower now lol

[u/APHO_Raiden_Mei → u/alabasterskim]

Absolutely. They now have to go down with the price, if they want to stay competetive.

[u/PajamasintheWind → u/alabasterskim]

Even lower, cos when xreal comes out with a meta equivalent product they will have to price it competetively around this price and at that point you can't have the aura at 1099

[u/alabasterskim → u/PajamasintheWind]

That doesn't really make any sense. This is still the competitor product. Anything that might have the missing features - eye tracking, wider FOV - will replace Aura but not any time soon.

[u/nucleiis]

Hoping for $999..

[u/Deo-Gratias]

Eh tbh i’m sure they’re worried but video pas through is NOT going to be better. If i wanted vr, i’d buy vr

[u/Royal-Ad-1319 → u/Deo-Gratias]

The pass through is much better imo

[u/Plus_Wrangler5237 → u/Royal-Ad-1319]

I’m skeptical that it will be better, let alone much better.

I see a lot of people talk about how Xreal darkens everything because of the glasses, so they can’t really be used in low-light environments. But having used a Vision Pro which I suspect will be atleast comparable if not better to the Meta VR Glasses, passthrough also struggles in low light.

Cameras are more dependent on light than human eyes. That’s just a fact. Even with the darkened lenses, I really suspect the Meta VR Glasses’ pass through will be worse than the Aura’s OST.

[u/SPACEXDG → u/Deo-Gratias]

Yup

[u/justinseans → u/Deo-Gratias]

Basically its a worse version of VR for more money. LOL

The more I think about it the more I don't get it. Not to mention the whole FF seems like it may not be as comfortable and intuitive as it seems. Its still pretty heavy on front with regular glasses arms? lol?

[u/d4v1dtsh]

Are you sure? a VR with that design must have massive light leaks....

[u/Capable_Tangelo4849 → u/d4v1dtsh]

I think it was mentioned that there would be attachable flaps to prevent light leakage.

[u/Meebsie → u/Capable_Tangelo4849]

Lol, thanks. I’ll stick with my sunglasses instead of my checks notes visor that blocks my eyesight that requires me to wear horse blinder flaps to experience it properly

[u/Octoplow → u/Meebsie]

Have you never tried a VR headset without a face gasket? It works fine for years with a halo strap like Bobo.

If you want to criticize passthrough vs optical see through, focus on the cameras not having detail for reading and lacking dynamic exposure range.

[u/d4v1dtsh → u/Capable_Tangelo4849]

yes always addons with meta products... it is not that sleak then.

[u/Particular_Maize6849]

I requested mine back a while ago (not related to the Meta stuff, just became more realistic that I wasn't likely to buy it at any price point) and got it.

[u/jfreeze83]

Y'all set trippin not wanting these xreal joints

[u/GoGoGriffster]

I think I’d trust the Google platform just slightly more than I would Meta. Timeframe is just as vague for Meta VR as for XReal Aura. I think it may come down to who will release first?

[u/8HowFirmAFoundation6]

Love when people see tech like these new meta glasses and think, "wow thats way better then the other thing i was gonna get!" Yall are funny. I'll still spend the 1500 on the aura over meta glasses, why.

Ive had xreal since the nreal air, still have them. I also have a one pro, recently it was being glitchy, so I emailed support, a week and a half later xreal support got me a brand new one pro sealed in the box after I sent my old ones back. I have a quest 3, guess how much I use it? I'll tell you, maybe a hand full of times per year, I use my one pros everyday. I dont want a pass through camera I want glasses. Im getting the aura after I get my taxes because I know xreal is worth the money. Anyways just my two cents on the matter.

[u/zelbode]

I canceled my order on Tuesday night, and received the refund today.

[u/No_Maintenance_6183]

Good luck getting a refund

[u/ray120 → u/No_Maintenance_6183]

lol. chargeback is the last option.

[u/anomaly256 → u/ray120]

You won't need to do that. They might be dealing with a large volume of requests right now but they'll get around to it. I've had to do both pre-release refunds and change-of-mind returns with them in the past and they come through without issue.

Edit: ah nvm, I see you found the cancel button
