First of all, it was a very good surprise in terms of quality, image and how easy it is to use.I am not a fan of any paid streaming sharks like Netflix, so one can install various free browsers for browsing and even streaming movies (such as Open Browser).However, i found that the picture and the whole projector was lagging very much after around 30 minutes of streaming through a browser. Therefore, i tried using it with AirPlay to cast video from my Macbook. The lag was less, but still pretty noticeable. The final solution was to just plug it directly to my laptop through HDMI-USB-C cable and all those issues were immediately resolved.We use this projector mostly for family movie nights or for watching pictures and videos of our family trips.

When we need more power, we just connect it to external speakers and voila - you have your home cinema.It also projects very well from around 45 degrees angle - auto image correction and keystone are automatic and works super well.It is not 4K, but still 4K videos are projected with a quite decent quality.

Having used the projector for about six weeks in different conditions I can say it's bright enough to use as an everyday system for watching content, even in daylight, as long as it's out of direct sunlight. Set up is easy with auto keystone correction that just needs a slight manual tweak to be perfect. We are using it to project onto a 92" Sapphire screen and it's excellent. We haven't even turned on the TV since buying this.The minor niggles are related to streaming and software licencing. Whilst XgGimi include instructions on how to install Netflix (and it works) it only streams in standard definition, which is too poor quality to watch on a big screen. Streaming via a mobile device also works but with a noticeable synchronisation issue which drove me mad.

Our solution was to plug in a Google Chromecast device which streams Netflix perfectly at HD quality with no sync issues and provides opportunities to watch iPlayer etc. too.The sound is surprisingly good for such a small device but is much improved when connecting to a good amp using a 3.5mm to phono RCA cable using the headphone socket.It works well on battery but we haven't yet tested out it's duration as it's only been used indoors and since we prefer full brightness we've watched it whilst plugged into the mains.Overall it's a really excellent piece of kit and extremely quiet.Our local Richer Sounds branch were extremely helpful and it was a superb price - much better than anywhere else. Thank you team at Middlesbrough. :-)

Overall I am impressed by this projector! It has replaced my home TV which looks ugly on the wall anyhow. True, the day light can affect quality a bit so you might need to close the shades, but is perfect for us because we like to limit our screen time for a healthy life style so watching after dawn is just perfect.The fact that's portable, has great sound quality and it's super easy to setup makes it even more perfect to move from room to room or to use outdoors. We don't even own a projector screen using the light grey paint on sheet rock and the quality is still impressing me.Not sure why people complain about Netflix, I guess they don't know how to read the 1 page user manual that explains how to install those apps via XGIMI's own app store for free.

I recently purchased 23 projectors priced at 1000 or less. Including projectors such as the Dangbee Atom, Nebula Mars 3 and Mars 3 Air, Epson EF12 and EF11, BenQ GS50, AAXA SCL450, LG PF610P, and XGIMI MoGo 2.If a battery powered projector is what you're looking for, then this is the one to go with. The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro follows the same patterns as the Halo+, except it has no battery and is not as bright. Prices as of this review:Nebula Mars 3 - $879BenQ GS50 - $700Nebula Capsule 3 Laser - $680Halo+ - $650Nebula Mars 3 Air - $460Nebula Capsule 3 - $450Brightness- First off let's look at the brightness. I'll argue that this is the most important stat, as these are on the go portable projectors, so you're likely not going to have it set up in a proper projector room. ... MoreI recently purchased 23 projectors priced at 1000 or less.

I'll argue that this is the most important stat, as these are on the go portable projectors, so you're likely not going to have it set up in a proper projector room. The Halo+ was only beat out in the battery powered category by the Nebula Mars 3, which at the time of this review is retailing for 900 vs the Halo+ at 650. The Halo+ EASILY bested the BenQ GS50 and Nebula Capsule 3 and 3 Laser in it's brightness. The images produced by the Capsule 3 and the BenQ GS50 were so dim that a 60in screen in the dark was almost unwatchable except for cartoons with smooth bright colors. The Halo+ was close with the Mars 3 Air in image brightness, but did have the upper hand in all scenarios. Keep in mind that battery powered projectors typically dim their light automatically when removed from AC power, so the stated ANSI figures are going to be while plugged in, rather than what they would be on battery power alone. In terms of brightness in real world usage, I'd rank them:1. Nebula Mars 32. Halo +3. Nebula Mars 3 Air4. BIG GAP5. BenQ GS506. Nebula Capsule 3Color/Sharpness-I regard this as the second most important stat, beating out sound because you can always add a speaker, but you can't add color or light. I changed the image modes for all the projectors, Movie, Sports, Vivid, etc. But did not mess with the color settings. The Halo+ had a slight pinkish tinge to red and orange scenes, like in the opening to Thor Ragnarok. Changing between modes didn't seem to affect this much. The Nebula series had better color overall, and a more natural look. The BenQ had decent color as well, but was so disappointingly dim for a high end manufacture 900 dollar projector that it was hard to tell. Interestingly the Halo+ had the worst image as far as sharpness goes, looking overly sharp in many scenes, while the slightly softer images on the Nebula series looked more realistic. It wasn't terrible, and may be easily corrected by messing around with the color settings and sharpness, but it was noticeable side by side. I'd rank them as follows:1. Nebula Mars 32. Nebula Mars 3 Air3. Halo+4. BenQ GS505. Nebula Capsule series (They fall below just because they were not bright enough to really make their colors stand out against the Halo+Sound-The sound at the top of the spectrum was a mixed bag, depending on what I was listening to. At the top the Halo+, BenQ, and Mars 3 all did a reasonably good job making movies and music enjoyable. The sound adjustments on these three made a big difference when switching from movies, to more dialogue heavy tv shows, and then dynamic music. None of them are going to end up in your home theater, all pretty much sound like a $100 JBL speaker such as the Flip 6. Honestly, I was happy with all 3, the sound performed better than the image itself, and so did not leave me feeling like the experience was lacking. The Mars 3 Air was close to the top 3, but felt smaller and less full. The Capsules were easily the worst, they got loud enough for a small area to hear the movie, but were tinny, and left out a lot of background sounds. They also were lacking any lows, leaving explosions and heavy music to the imagination. Ranking:1. Mars 32. Halo+3. BenQ GS504. Nebula Mars 3 Air5. CapsulesPortability-If you're really carrying these things around outside to campsites, and not just setting them up on your porch then the Nebula Mars 3 Air is at the top. The Halo+ is a solid machine that looks and feels great, even more so than the Mars 3 Air, but it doesn't feel like something you want to take into the woods, or anywhere there is dirt and dust! The Mars 3 Air was one of the few with a handle, and the ergonomics were fantastic, it feels like it WANTS to be carried around. The larger variant, the Mars 3, doesn't have the same feel to it, and it's extra weight and bulk makes it feel unwieldy. The Nebula Capsules are more in the realm of the Halo+, well built aluminum bodies that seem like they'd be more at home in modern office than the great outdoors. They are certainly easy to carry around, but the light weight and handle of the Mars 3 Air trumps the smaller size of the Capsules. As far as the BenQ... it's handle is on the side, towards the front, and needs to be pulled open to get your fingers through it. It's awkwardly balanced, and larger by comparison to the rest. It's water resistant and rubberized drop resistant body feel sturdy, but the compartment lid for the required streaming stick and it's drop down leveling foot feel cheap and flimsy. Ranking:1. Mars 3 Air2. Mars 33. BenQ GS504. Halo+, and Nebula Capsules. Setup-The Capsules, with their USB C power and lack of power brick made things nice and easy. The rest had two piece cables with power bricks, making setup with power less convenient.Now for positioning the unit.. The Halo+ comes out on top here. Their custom stand works incredibly well, and makes the footprint of the unit only slightly larger. With the stand you can easily project onto any wall or ceiling with easy, it's stable, fits well, and makes small adjustments a breeze. The BenQ, and Mars 3 series all have cords coming out of the back, and the stands available to them are not nearly as fluid, meaning it would be much harder to project onto the ceiling or quickly adjust the angle. Without stands, things level out a bit, with the Halo+, BenQ, and Nebula sporting squarish designs that can be easily tipped, propped up, or adjusted with the small feet located on the bottom. Of the group, the Halo+ has the sturdiest feeling prop. Then there are the Capsules. Their advantage is that they are tiny and so can fit on top of almost anything, but.. they are round, so it's much more difficult to place them correctly without stacking items underneath them. Ranking1. Halo +2. Mars 3 Air3. Mars 34. BenQ GS505. CapsulesRemote-I loved the remote on the Dangbei Atom, something about the heft and the extra buttons on the side made operation seamless, while the LG remote was like using a calculator watch from the 90's, but that's not part of this. The Halo+ takes it here, the remote is clean, intuitively laid out, and some (Not all!) of the buttons light up. It's easy to find the buttons in the dark, and the UI is responsive, allowing quick volume adjustments. Next up is the BenQ remote, fairly well laid out, you can easily find the volume in the dark. The Nebula remotes though... not a fan. In daytime, no issues, except that the volume is slow to turn up and down, obnoxiously so. At night? It was easy to lose track of where you were on the remote, making simple adjustments difficult. Ranking:1. Halo+2. BenQ GS503. Nebula seriesInterface-They all had their quirks, each one lagged for a second here or there. For the most part I adjust my colors, then watch shows and TV out one of 3 apps. Disney+, Amazon Prime, Plex. They all allowed that, so I didn't really find myself caring what version of Android I was using, or how easy it was to cast. If these things are important to you (which they very well may be) you'll need to do some further digging. Ranking:1. TieConclusion-1. Halo+ The value of the Halo+ was closely tied with the Nebula Mars Air 3. The Mars 3 Air offered a similar picture, and easier portability, but the Halo+ comes out on top with a clearly brighter image, much better sound, an easy to use stand that allows ceiling viewing and fluid adjustments, and a much better remote.2. Mars 3 AirThe Mars 3 Air is $200 cheaper than the Halo+, so that could make a big difference if this isn't something that you'll want to use at home as well. If you do plan to use it indoors, then stick with the Halo+, it's brightness, sound, and flexibility will make movie nights a lot more fun. Otherwise the Mars 3 Air is a easy going contender that has good all around attributes3. Nebula Mars 3The price is just so high on this, nearly $1000 after tax. It's brighter, sure but the divide between what it can provide and what the Halo+ can provide is pretty slim. And it's way less portable. At this price point there are a lot of projectors that give WAY better images, and even better sound, such as the Epson EF12 which is almost $100 cheaper at $799. The Epson is also smaller and lighter, but without the battery. If money is no object, and you won't really be carting this thing around much or using it at home, then go with the Nebula Mars 34. Nebula CapsulesThe price is just way to high for what you're getting. They aren't that much smaller than the Mars 3 Air, and they are either the same price, or $200 more! They aren't more portable, and are also much more likely to tip over and fall. They don't really stand up to the Mars 3 Air in any capacity. Buy these if you're really just stuck on the cool form factor5. BenQ GS50I mean come on. It's big, it's bulky, it's layout sucks, it looks terrible, and it's almost the most expensive projector on this list. Aside from the colorful aesthetics the BenQ can't match the cheaper Halo+ or Mars 3 Air in any capacity. Buy this if you want the brand name of BenQ and the look. Don't buy it though if you intend to use it.
This portable projector is really nice. It gives a clear 60" screen from 3 meters away, and automates focus for the best picture. During setup you can choose to install Google TV or not, and can update the firmware.You can play content from the internal storage (8.9GB), extended storage via USB A or via HDMI input. It also has a built in Chromecast.The remote control connects via Bluetooth. The remote needs 2 AAA batteries, which are supplied. You can also connect Bluetooth headphones. If you don't want to listen to Bluetooth audio you can also listen to audio via the AUX port or the built in speakers. The built in speakers have good sound quality and bass.You can connect a tripod to the bottom of the projector.
As all the other reviews say mention this is a great projector - excellent quality images and auto-keystone fearures. Sadly for us its a dud as we like to use Netflix and starting in July 2024 the OS stopped supporting the Netflix completely. There’s a Netflix app to download, but just error messages when you try to play. All the workarounds that XGMi provides (playing through a desktop manager or chromecasting) stopped working in July with no solution from XGMI in sight. The only option at the moment is getting a firestick or applyTV to plug into the projector. Overall I want to be able to play one of our often used apps easily and without purchasing another device to plug in and out when I want to quickly set this up. Would return if we could to get a cheaper ... MoreAs all the other reviews say mention this is a great projector - excellent quality images and auto-keystone fearures.

Let me start this review by saying that I would consider myself a decently tech savvy person, so when looking for a portable projecfor to buy, the XGIMI Halo + was up against the Samsung Freestyle 2. I initially purchased the freestyle but it fell short of my expectations. So, I traded it for the Halo +. Here’s all my PROS and CONS.PROS:- Decently bright for the price point- Auto Keystone and option for manual zoom- Tripod mount on the bottom- Compact and well built- Multiple ports including a HDMI, Audio, and USB port- Pause/Play and Volume Up/Down buttons on the top- Can detect movement and will automatically keystone and focus- Internal battery- Remote interface is simple and has the ability to toggle focus adjustments by flipping a switch on the ... MoreLet me start this review by saying that I would consider myself a decently tech savvy person, so when looking for a portable projecfor to buy, the XGIMI Halo + was up against the Samsung Freestyle 2.

NOT TUE REMOTE, AS MENTIONED ABOVE.- Auto keystone is mostly accurate, but i’ve found I have to also manually tweak it after. (not a big deal, just annoying if you move it)- NO COMPATIBILITY WITH NETFLIX (this is odd, but there was an included pamphlet included which I presume allows you to watch it.- Remote is often slightly laggy and I sometimes have issues with it not working.- I personally find the android TV under interface to be inferior to something like Samsungs Tizen OS, or something like a ROKU. The home screen just looks busy in my opinion.CONCLUSION:Overall this projector exceeded the Samsung Freedtyle 2 in many ways. I have my Halo + mounted on a tripod I found at Best Buy on clearance. This allows me to stand it in a corner and I can have it lifted higher. This helps avoid it having to keystone the Up/Down angles from pointing it at a lower point. The device does a good job at focusing on most of the projected area. If you’re pointing it and an angle and not directly at a wall/screen, the far side tends to be a tad blurry. I would assume this is normal so I don’t deduct any points for this. Overall I would say this is a great buy if you’re wanting to step into the world or projectors and still get a decent all-in-one device. Coming from someone who had no experience in these type of devices, it was easy to setup and use. Included are 2 pictures. One is the projector in a slight lit area, and the second is in a dark bedroom. Obviously the brightness is best in a dark setting but i’ve found it can actually show a decently bright image with some light.
Awesome projector for it's portability and smart features that makes it extremely easy to move throughout the house or wherever you want. However, you will only get good 1080p image and clarity under really dark environments. The contrast isn't the best and the blacks in certain scenes can appear washed.Speaker sound is just so-so. Although it can get loud and is pretty clear, still missing a bit of a punch that would make movies and music experience more enjoyable.Lastly, with all the great technology and hardware behind this product, I wish there was some kind of lens cover to protect from dust. I ended up returning this unit because a spec of dust somehow got on the internal lens and projected a black spec right in the middle of the frame.This was my 1st ... MoreAwesome projector for it's portability and smart features that makes it extremely easy to move throughout the house or wherever you want.

I ended up returning this unit because a spec of dust somehow got on the internal lens and projected a black spec right in the middle of the frame.This was my 1st time purchasing a projector and although impressed, I think that going for a higher end 4k model may be more worthwhile for quality image, making it more future proof. If portability is important, this is a great option.
The picture turned yellow within 4 months of weekly use. The company has terrible costumer service, I've been fighting them for either a refund or a new projector for a week and nothing has been done they are just giving me the run around. Buy the 50 or 100 dollar ones and hook your laptop up to it that will last you years. The people who think its a great projector are using it very infrequently. I repalced my tv with this and am very disappointed. I was going to just say it was a fluke and move on because the sound is excellent and it was a great projector till the bulb broke, but with this horrible customer service please get anything else. This company will not hold true to its warrantee. Its a great overpriced speaker for me now and there's nothing I can do ... MoreThe picture turned yellow within 4 months of weekly use.

a bit more expensive than a few other options but great choice when goes on sale. the speakers on it are serviceable indoors but could get drowned out depending on the environment you use it for with outdoor use. the picture is clear and the auto keying is pretty accurate however not instantaneous the way more expensive projectors do, instead defaulting to a display adjustment screen so best to refrain from moving it too much when using outside. no built in way to screen cast from a phone or bluetooth enabled device, will need to download an app instead. the app does alright but if you can connect an HDMI, that would work better. the thread on rhe bottom fits standard tripod mounts if that is what you have available, just be wary of the weight distribution or invest ... Morea bit more expensive than a few other options but great choice when goes on sale. the speakers on it are serviceable indoors but could get drowned out depending on the environment you use it for with outdoor use. the picture is clear and the auto keying is pretty accurate however not instantaneous the way more expensive projectors do, instead defaulting to a display adjustment screen so best to refrain from moving it too much when using outside. no built in way to screen cast from a phone or bluetooth enabled device, will need to download an app instead. the app does alright but if you can connect an HDMI, that would work better. the thread on rhe bottom fits standard tripod mounts if that is what you have available, just be wary of the weight distribution or invest in a proper bottom weighted mount.
