**Bottom line: the Magic Leap 2 is the better buy for most people, unless you need the brighter display.**

- Buy the Magic Leap 2 if you want the wider 70° field of view (vs 30°), you need longer battery life (3.5 hours vs 1.5), you want smoother 120Hz motion (vs 60Hz), and you want spatial audio.
- Buy the RayNeo X3 Pro if you need the brighter 3500-nit display (vs 2000 nits), you want the lighter 76g fit (vs 260g), and you're an iPhone user.
