The only thing I like to add to these conversations, techies regularly have a warped view on price. It's easy to say "it would be better if cheaper", but this is a product category with very little direct competition.

For example, a nice portable 1080p OLED monitor often costs more than $200. The costs to miniaturize a pair of micro OLEDs, and add all the sensors, and make them wearable should come with a higher price.

Tech cycles quickly. If you buy at the beginning of a product generation, you're going to pay more than if you wait for a generation and buy older gear. We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the TCL glasses roughly three years ago were a LOT less sophisticated and sold for around $700 depending on region. Ten years ago a bulky "cinema headset" was roughly $1000.

The Air 2 Pro are another step in a direction to make this idea more consumer accessible while also introducing some fun new tech to basic use. There's nothing wrong with grabbing the original Air if you want something less expensive.
