This 9 minute review answered more of my questions about the practicalities of vision pro than most of the 45 minute video essays I've watched about it.

4:50 "...test out the in flight wifi" I belly laughed at this audio gag, thank you.

The biggest issue with this is that Apple is way less forgiving of third party products than the likes of Facebook. When I first got my Quest 2 I felt exactly the same regarding discomfort - but having upgraded to a highly-recommended third party strap, I can comfortably go 8 hours or more with it strapped to my face. Any time I'm working from home, I just throw on my Quest and I'm sitting in a ship in orbit surrounded by 4 floating screens - one of which is my code. Sure I need my laptop still sat on my lap to do so, but working in a multi-monitor environment with the only wires being the one plugged into my laptop for power (because gaming laptops suck back battery like nothing else) - it really does do the thing you described where you're just "working in another world".

Streaming KZfaq videos in HD half way over the atlantic ocean is more impressive for the plane than the headset its self wow

"i watch all sort of porn" 💀💀💀☠️

Just imagine people on planes, buses, etc thinking they’re in a private environment in their Vision Pro and forgetting the speakers are still audible. 😅

Great video! I've been a fan since your Airtag experiments. Keep up the awesome work! 🔥

ngl all the people looking at you as you walk down the aisle is priceless

Now imagine this on a 16 hour non-stop flight. Comfort needs to be improved and multi display on Mac needs to be a thing.

You've just described VR headsets in general, practically every aspect already exists on VR headsets for years with the same drawbacks - thanks for this however, it really confirmed my suspicions about the Apple Ski Mask :D

Did it fix your colour blindness?

5:14 LMFAO this was literally my number 1 question since reviews started rolling in that NOBODY else even vaguely answered. 😂

I used to get that feeling a lot on the Quest models, like an exponentially more uncomfortable feeling of having it on your face, third party attachments allow me to code for 12+ hours very comfortably, and I no longer get that "HOLY SHIT GET THIS OFF OF MY FACE" feeling that I'd get

I'm glad you mentioned that you didn't try other headsets before. Watching 3d movies in VR is indeed a blast! I wonder if bigscreen vr will come to the vision pro

Has you bought enChroma lens for apple vision pro?

I love when all the content creators claim to not be rich then all go out and buy a $3.5k device.

The only real new thing apple ~~brang~~ brought to the table of vr: People are actually dare to wear a vr headset in public, because its a sort of status symbol. I feel like my generation will live in the future and be bugged abt "the youth just hanging in their vr/xr headset/glasses" like boomers are annoyed by mobile phones

I appreciate the honesty in your searches lol. Cool video!

Nobody cared when it was cheap and affordable, but everyone cared when it was apple.

You would've met that beautiful girl or made a friend, but technology had consumed your face.

Just gotta say that it’s awesome how your intro updates the subscriber count

Anothe banger video from MegaLag! Absolutely enjoyed it.

Other VR headsets have third party head straps that make them much more comfortable. I'm sure manufacturers will be making more comfortable third party head straps for the Apple Vision Pro in time.

I watched a lot of 3D movies on my Lenovo Explorer and then on Oculus Quest 2, and yes, immersion and quality of 3D movies in VR is outstanding, it even better than a real movie theater

Did you use a local file to play 3D Avatar on the AVP? or is it downloaded in the Disney+ app? And can we or can we not transfer mkv files to the AVP to watch em offline?

Discomfort varies from person to person. I’ve had zero issues with multiple hour sessions.

3:52 i've been watching my ripped BD3D on oculus headsets for years at this point. I'm kinda happy peop'e are starting to notice how nice it is to watch 3d movies with a VR headset.

I like how you haven't tested other VR headset and think the Vision has bad enough passthrough and felt that watching movies was so incredible. Very crude experience. Really shows how the tech is not ready even though is the best (and most expensive) on the market, yet have so much potencial for the near future

5:48 😂

I had the same sort of issue with some really expensive ear buds I got on sale. I couldn't wear them for more than 30 or 45 minutes before my ears hurt. I returned them within a week. Had they been comfortable, they'd have been a great deal but they weren't.

How were you able to screen record in the AVP with Avitar open and not get the DRM black screen? I've been sending short screen captures with friends and family for them to see, and my movies; whether in Disney+, or Apple purchased movies are always just a black screen when Im in the AVP. Thanks

Hey man, great video. I've seen a significant number of people on twitter originally say they had discomfort but went back to try on a different sized light seal, and that that fixed things for them straight away. Some people will also have different experiences to others regardless too. But maybe worth trying a different seal given you're within the 14 day return period? Another suggestion I've seen is to use the solo band but instead of having the band straight back in line with the actual headset, instead tilt it to a 45 degree angle so that it's resting further up the back of your head. Keen to see if this improves things.

Great review. Hopefully confort and price get better in the future with new revisions.

Regarding Typing in passwords: I am pretty sure someone will find a way to extract typed text from the way you move your hands. Don’t know if it will be with machine learning or Computer vision, but it will be done ;)

Musstest du die Brille beim Zoll anmelden und Steuer nachzahlen?

5:24 sir.... you have just awoken a demon in me just by saying this sentence and I'm scared now.

finally a new megalag video😆

Have been in love with your videos since the airtag experiments, keep up the good work

Curious if you can try using the iPad app Duet display in vision OS to use it to get a second display with your MacBook

You’re back! 😀

I've had mine since launch and the first couple days can take some getting used to. I have worn it now for 3-4 hours for a movie. Taking a break is always nice and a good idea. But it isn't as uncomfortable as a lot of people talk about. Wear it daily for at least an hour or so... no issues.

5:24 😂😂😂😂 nice one bro.

Can't wait to buy a lighter, more immersive, more comfortable one for less than 2 grand a couple more years later.

This was the only use case I was actually interested in. I fly only once per year maximum, so it is not worth it, but nevertheless the possibility of this was intruiging. Also watching that Rüfüs Du Sol set is a quality choice, shot so beautifully!

Your opinion is kinda moot if you haven’t tried other headsets right? The things you are impressed by (like, being transported to a more spacious place and watching 3D movies) - they all accomplish that.

What happened with the tag in NK?

5:10 I flew Delta JFK-FRA and back last year. How did you get streaming working? (yes i know aircraft types are different but still)

Hm, I actually think the previous video thumbnail was better. Hope this video gets the attention it deserves! The Vision Pro is a fascinating product, but I really have no temptation to own one. I'm comfortably a late adopter to most things. Thanks for showing us a glimpse of the future though!

Basically, it's the iPhone 1. A cool preview of what will one day be pretty awesome. Especially when companies other than Apple make it.

What storage size did you buy for your 8hrs flight?

I just used mine for the first time on a flight and it was amazingly comfortable. A few observations. 1. Put it on at your seat don’t walk in with it 2. Doesn’t work well while taxing; very bumpy image and will cause nausea 3. Close your window as this affects tracking even in travel mode 4. They asked me to take off during take off and landing for safety. They treat it like a large electronic device 5. Use partial environments so you can see when flight attendant is near 6. Use AirPods/ear buds and be ready to switch the transparent mode when flight attendant is servicing 7. Bring 30w charger or battery to recharge Following these guidelines made the experience very very comfortable and I loved the huge screen and especially enjoyed the environments. I didn’t have to lower my hear to watch anything. When it was time to sleep, I already had my mask on. Very good use case.

@MegaLag what a man of culture your are, listening to the Rufus du Sol live set is one of the best live sets I've ever seen in my life

So how does it work without ur glasses? Like is there a way to adjust the screen distance from ur face?

This is what a real end user review should always be , I spilled my coffee when that particular theme came up 😂😂😂😂

2:00 When YOU are getting people's reactions.... Is APPLE getting people's reactions? WHOA.

Great review, really appreciate it. Wonder if wearing the vision pro causes issues on a flight if you inadvertently poke your neighbor.

i have quest 2, the headstrap that it comes also has this issue, you gotta wait for the 3th party headstraps, much better, i hope some one does a bobo mk2 version for the apple vision, it takes the pressuer away from the face and it puts in the head

*Are the immersive environments 3D renders or made using real photos like photogrammetry?*

very immersive 💀

It’s great for watching movies on an airplane. It’s hit or miss on the comfort. Sometimes I can wear it fine for two hours and others it bothers me after 30 minutes. I did make the peace sign with my fingers and used them as a tripod to help prop up the headset off my nose. Hopefully some 3rd party head strap solutions will come out soon.

Have you used no other VR headset for productivity? So many of the reviews of this are from people who've literally never looked at virtual desktop or similar options that literally do. this. exactly all of this.

I really appreciate my quest 3 3rd party head strap I can play for 2 hours before needing a break and usually that’s for my eyes than head discomfort. Hopefully someone will design a halo strap or a padded elite style strap l it will make the Apple Vision Pro even more of a gamechanger

Comfort is certainly the main drawback with this and all VR headsets. That being said I can use the VP for 2-3hrs without issue now. There's at least two things that play a role here, one is to take 5-10mins break every 60-90 minutes - thats valid for regular computer work aswell, and second is that you just get used to it eventually. When you put a VR headset on for the first time there's muscles that are just not used to that strain and it can get painful quickly, it gets better after semi regular use ; it took a few months playing with the Quest3 a few times a week for me. In my experience thats valid for motion sickness - I can actually use the vomit inducing regular FPS movement in VR now - and strain on your head. That being said the default headband with this - and the Quest3 - are Hellraiser levels of pain, I just cant fathom why they think its ok. They are painful after 5-15mins of use if not immediately for most ppl and they are super easy to put in a way that just hurts badly. The headband with a strap at the top is mandatory imo and to me they are fumbling here when they dont make that the default option, the current default bands discourage ppl from using it after trying it for a bit.

Did you have to pay import sales tax (19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) on your return trip to Germany?

I can wear the dual loop for 4-5 hours - but the trick I learned is first fastening the back loop, keeping the headset a little higher over your eyes then fastening the top strap. I've gotten some pretty perfectly balanced fits, before that I was fastening it too tight and it would put the pressure on the head or cheeks. That's what I'm guessing happened to you

It could have been a good idea to do that because, the comfort = time/how long you have it on for.

In all seriousness, VR porn does not work on the Vision Pro because it does not support the WebXR standard.

Matthias cameo again! Let's go!!!

Wow, Jono, this makes me completely think differently about Apple vision pro. I may not buy it yet, but still it seems truely worth it regardless how ridiculous it looks 😂

great way to use that sound byte as i’m in the shower at 3:00 am

I'm not surprised you found it uncomfortable. The base apple straps just feel like they learned nothing from other VR headsets. Hopefully 3rd parties can make far better straps for it. They definitely did for the quest. Also I agree, VR is really the only true way to watch 3d movies. Been doing it since the release of the OG Vive in 2016 and I can't go back

I’m sure some airlines will start to ban the use of these due to health & safety.

Hellooooo I knew you would post something like this so I had your tab open 😆

The colorblind glasses plug 😂😂😂

Can't wait for the future when talking to the person next to you on the flight will be met with anger cause "Im watching muh avatar 3D"

Ich freu mich auf das Video

Honestly my issue with VR (apart from the fact that your milage is going to vary depending on how your vision is) is the fact that headsets seem needlessly clunky. Get a headset to about half the width of what it is right now, and I'd probably be more invested in it.

How is everyone getting it now?

Provided this does well enough as a product I would hope that it will get lighter and be less of a burden to wear long term. It will be interesting to see where this goes in 5 years time.

Did you download the movie to the AVP via the Disney+ app or was it purchased from iTunes/Apple TV?

Babe wake up megalag posted

Guess watching all three extended editions of Lord of the Rings is not going to be comfortable then. This is the best review I've seen about the device so far, thanks

But did he Pay Import Customs / Taxes on it. Thats the real Question here!

How did you power it that long? The battery only lasts two hours. Did the flight have a charger?

I'm sorry, did you mean megalagged but excited.

I flew from JFK to HNL non-stop in coach. Easiest 11 hours i have ever flown. Flight didn't have wi-fi so I had downloaded everything in advance. I guess I am one of the lucky people that can wear this thing with the single loop band for multiple hours with no discomfort.

3rd party head straps should infinitely improve the comfort, it definitely helped the Oculus enjoyment.

I can watch films on my Vision Pro for hours at a time with the dual loop over-the-head band. If VP puts too much pressure on any part of your face just fine-tune the headband, (No need to suffer!)

I actually enjoy watching slightly unhinged content (especially plane crash documentaries) on the plane to make people think I'm crazy

Shoutout to those of us who’ve been doing most of this on flights since 2018.

5:47 I knew it :)))

Awesome, v fair review.. personally, I felt it wasn't that bad wearing it for half a day w/o breaks (just my eyes felt a bit tired), but also wasn't using it on a flight haha btw, are you a kiwi living in Germany? I think you're my opposite.. I'm a German living in NZ lol cheers, mate..

Imagine if the only use for these Vision Pros is for airlines to incorporate them in their planes to make flights more accessible for people with fears with the addition of better entertainment for regular flyers 😂

Great vid megalag never disappoints

I guess we'll have to wait for a 3rd party addons. pads and straps to really get the job done and have a comfy experience for hours. Great video as always, thanks! Hopefully the apple strap and pad is not DRM protected and won't brick your gear if you replace it with some 3rd party parts LOL :)

A halo head strap will 100% resolve the comfort issue.

So it seems that face structure greatly influences the comfort level. I wear the AVP a minimum of 8 hours a day with minimal discomfort. I discussing the comfort level with other AVP owners, it seems that if you can sort of “hang” the AVP off your brow, as opposed to having it pressed against your brow and cheeks, the comfort level is greatly increased. Problem is that requires you have a certain facial structure that makes this possible.

I can’t wait for Airlines to start banning the Apple Vision Pro. Hahaha.

Do you keep an AirTag with your Vision Pro?

oh no he went with it to the toilet, a device with so many cameras hahahahaha
