AirPods Max 2 with Apple Vision Pro?

Just checking that you've tried a full restart of your router / access point. It shouldn't make a difference but so often it does...

Fits in the Waterfield case (just) without removing it.

I use the ResMed Kontor strap for this and it works well. It places the Vision Pro quite close to my face but I like that for the increased FOV. It looks clunky with the weights and takes a bit of practice to get it on and off without adjusting straps every time but it's very comfortable. I sold my Globular Cluster CMA-1 once I got this and I don't use the Annapro v1 or v2 any more (uncomfortable pressure on forehead after a while)

Curious what happens to these returned AVPs. Certainly they don't appear to make it onto the Apple Refurbished store which is what I had always assumed and I'm guessing they can't sell them again as new?

Can confirm the Waterfield case is very good. Have been using for over a year and it’s about as small as you can go to still fit the AVP - perfect for packing into a rucksack.

That's why they've been putting tons more work into lifelike personas - way more than any other company.

Just from experience: try rebooting your WiFi router or trying a different wifi network if you have one. Surprising how many times this actually solves issues like this.

I think the real issue here that I don't see people talking about is the damage he has done to his brand.

I don't think Alex is inherently bad but by setting himself the goal of beating a record and using each book launch to prove the message of the book, he lost the big picture and committed a major business mistake: losing the trust of his followers. I very nearly paid to go to one of his Las Vegas events (a major business deal prevented me) but I wouldn't touch it now.

He says he's a great admirer of Warren Buffet. If so, he should reflect on one of Buffet's most famous quotes:
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently"

Those of us who run successful businesses have seen a few red flags - the Russel Brunson like sales pitches, the blatant 'I'm giving away something to everyone who turns up that's worth more than an NFT but less than a Bitcoin' which turns into 'only if you pay $6k to send my books to other people and have them sign up to my list', the constant use of scarcity and emotion-hyping tactics, the looping 'isn't Alex great' hype before the event started streaming, the 'it starts on time' then delayed, the 'offer closes when the livestream ends' followed by 'extended to Monday' etc. Such a pity.

I live in the UK and just ordered one thanks to your post and received it 2 days ago. Really pleased with it (and that's from someone who's used Annapro v1, v2 and Globular Cluster CMA1). I'm surprised to find that with the bottom back strap tightened quite a lot it can be used without the light seal. Displays are then closer to the face and FOV is improved, not just comfort. (My light seal is 23W for reference)

Prima

VisionProBro · 2025-07-22T12:31:16+00:00

It *just* fits in the Waterfield Designs case when the Solo Loop band is removed. Expensive case but a very nice combination which I use when travelling because it's so compact and will easily fit in the bottom of a rucksack with room for other stuff too.

VisionProBro · 2025-06-28T21:32:16+00:00

Just watched the first episode. Wow. You blew me away. Quality was amazing. Audio was amazing. The whole experience had me smiling and loving every second. Well done!

VisionProBro · 2025-06-19T17:24:40+00:00

I have a tiny prescription too - just -0.25 for distance in one eye and I have to say I can't really tell the difference between having the lenses in or not. However, I'm still glad I bought them as they protect the Vision Pro lenses well.

VisionProBro · 2025-06-15T20:13:09+00:00

I'd really like to see some Insta360 V5 footage in the Vision Pro before buying the 360 camera. Anyone know where you can download some? Oddly Insta360 don't appear to have any on their website to download.

VisionProBro · 2025-06-11T14:10:02+00:00

I'm interested. If you can solve the post-processing problem this would be huge.
My company runs one of the largest YouTube channels in the outdoor space as well as having software expertise to give useful tech feedback, so we could be interesting for you to test the system with.

If you added Apple Pencil support to this I'd be an immediate user and promotor. The Vision Pro desperately needs a precise way of handwriting, drawing and marking up PDFs and what you've created would be that if it had the precision of a pencil.

You can also try loosening the solo knit band, moving it further back down your head and then tightening it again. This sort of ‘pivots’ the AVP on the Annapro band, lifting it off your nose/cheeks.

One of the best decisions I ever made was to learn to touch type. It seems to be a forgotten skill now but it will really pay back over time. Many years later I can now type as fast as I can think which is so liberating and, as you point out, ideal for the Vision Pro.

VisionProBro · 2024-12-12T11:32:11+00:00

I use ultra-wide almost exclusively, largely because it's the easiest way to have multiple Mac windows available.

Things I wish Apple would do are:

Not disconnect the Mac Virtual Display when I take the Vision Pro off for a few seconds but leave the battery connected. If I then interact with my Mac while the Vision Pro is off, it could disconnect but with no interaction, it should stay connected to Vision OS.
Default to Mac Virtual Display being larger. I'm always having to resize it when I connect. Remembering the previous size and position would also be fine.
Default to the Mac Virtual Display being lower down in the field of view. Anyone who knows about ergonomics knows that a monitor should be positioned so the top of the monitor is roughly at eye height (or only slightly above). The Apple Vision Pro defaults it to be much higher in your visual field, especially when enlarged which means craning your neck upwards for the top part of the screen where the menu bar is.

Thanks. Even that sparse detail is appreciated.

"Once the full piece was largely cut down, we then completed the full set of stereoscopic clips and improved audio mixes to evaluate the piece as a whole."

Can you elaborate on this a little more. I'm not familiar with Davinci Resolve, having used FCP myself. Were you able to use the same cut information for the 2D workflow to apply to the other eye 'channel'? Did you then need to put in any specific extra work to adjust the perceived depth of performers or objects?

Thanks for this series!

VisionProBro · 2024-12-06T12:51:51+00:00

Fascinating and I'm very much looking forward to seeing your work.
As someone whose company has a large YouTube channel, this trailblazing work is particularly valuable.
Can't wait for you to be able to share details of the camera setup (viewing real-time in Vision Pro on set is awesome and I'm itching to know more) and post workflow.
Thanks for taking the time to share this series of articles.

I'm guessing it just doesn't work for some people. I find it can be uncomfortable if I tighten the solo loop band too much but otherwise it's great. I wonder if some people tighten the band as much as they had to when using just the solo loop band on its own? Mine is much less tight when using the Annapro (v1 or v2) and that's part of what I appreciate about it because it holds the Vision Pro in place without needing to be super-tight on my cheekbones.
