**Bottom line: the Rokid Max is the better buy for most people at $540 less, unless you need 6DoF positional tracking.**

- Buy the Rokid Max if you want to spend $540 less ($159 vs $699), you need the brighter 600-nit display (vs 500 nits), you want the lighter 75g fit (vs 80g), and you play on Steam Deck.
- Buy the XREAL Air 2 Ultra if you need full 6DoF positional tracking, you want a built-in camera, you want spatial audio, and you want adjustable lens dimming.
