The Uneekor QED helped a lot of you build the bay you always wanted. It was groundbreaking when it launched, and for years it has been the quiet workhorse behind countless basement studios, garage builds, and coaching rooms. That loyalty is exactly why we have rebuilt the QED Trade-In Program from the ground up into something simpler, bigger, and more rewarding. If you own a QED, this is your upgrade.
The QED Upgrade Program at a Glance
Every QED owner now gets a flat $2,000 trade-in credit applied toward any AI Studio bundle in the current overhead lineup. That credit works on the AI Studio version of the EYE XR, the EYE XO, or the EYE XO2.
Here is the part most QED owners do not realize at first: the AI Studio bundles are already discounted off their components' combined MSRP, which means your $2,000 trade-in credit stacks on top of savings you would already be getting as a regular buyer. The total credit off MSRP runs as high as $4,880, with QED owner pricing starting at $3,999.
The credit is the same for every QED owner. It does not matter when you bought your unit, and it does not matter what condition the unit is in today. If it is a QED, it qualifies.
Even better: your eligible perpetual software licenses carry over to your new launch monitor. The licenses you already paid for stay with you. You are upgrading the hardware, not starting from scratch.
The program runs alongside the QED's official end-of-life date of December 31, 2026. After that date, your QED will continue to work, but it will no longer receive new software updates, new features, or new fixes. The upgrade window is open now, but it is finite, and the units are reserved for QED owners only.
You Are Trading In For an AI Studio, Not Just a Launch Monitor
This is the part worth slowing down on, because it changes the math.
Your QED trade-in does not get you a bare launch monitor in a box. It gets you a full AI Studio bundle. Every AI Studio ships with three things in the box:
- The launch monitor of your choice (EYE XR, EYE XO, or EYE XO2)
- Swing Optix® dual swing cameras, included at no extra cost
- A full year of AI Trainer, included at no extra cost
Swing Optix® gives you down-the-line and face-on video of every swing, automatically synced with your shot data. AI Trainer is Uneekor's smart practice tool, the one that turns raw numbers into a coaching plan. Both are normally added on after the fact. With the AI Studio bundle, they are already part of the package at a discounted bundle price, and the $2,000 QED trade-in credit comes off on top of that.
So when you check out, you are not just trading a QED for an EYE XO. You are trading a QED for an EYE XO plus the cameras plus a year of the practice software, with bundle savings already baked in and another $2,000 off the top.
What Changed From the Original Trade-In Program
If you read our original QED Trade-In: Upgrading to the EYE XR blog last fall, the offer you are looking at today is materially different, and the changes all run in your favor.
The original program tied your trade-in credit to your purchase date. Newer QEDs were worth more, older QEDs were worth less, and trade was only one-for-one into the EYE XR. The new program collapses all of that into one flat $2,000 credit for every owner, applies it across three different launch monitors instead of one, bundles the cameras and AI Trainer in by default, and lets you keep the perpetual licenses you already own.
We flattened the structure because the original one punished loyalty. The people who bought a QED earliest were getting the smallest credit, even though they had been with us the longest. This is the program QED owners deserve.
Keep Your Licenses: The Carryover Policy
Eligible perpetual software licenses you have already purchased carry over from your QED to your new AI Studio at no additional cost. Your saved sessions and training history come along for the ride.
This is the single biggest change from the original program, and it is the change most QED owners ask about first. The answer is yes: your software comes with you.
Choose Your Upgrade: EYE XR, EYE XO, or EYE XO2
The $2,000 trade-in credit applies to all three AI Studio bundles, and every bundle already includes built-in savings off its components' MSRP. The decision is about which launch monitor fits your bay, your standards, and your budget.
EYE XR AI Studio
The EYE XR is the natural next step for QED owners who love rear-mounted freedom. It sits behind the player, preserves clean front-of-bay sightlines, and installs with a single Power over Ethernet cable. Two cameras, 19 data points per shot, Club AI tracking with no club stickers, and Dimple Optix ball reading so you can play with any ball.
The EYE XR AI Studio carries an MSRP of $8,879. With $2,880 in bundle savings already baked in and your $2,000 QED trade-in credit stacked on top, your final price drops to $3,999. That is $4,880 off MSRP, with the Swing Optix® cameras and the year of AI Trainer included.
EYE XO AI Studio
The EYE XO is the front-mounted, pro-standard overhead unit. Two cameras, 24 data points per shot, and the same sticker-free workflow as the rest of the lineup. It is the unit you see most often in coaching academies and indoor golf centers.
The EYE XO AI Studio carries an MSRP of $9,879. With $1,880 in bundle savings already baked in and your $2,000 QED trade-in credit stacked on top, your final price drops to $5,999. That is $3,880 off MSRP, with the Swing Optix® cameras and the year of AI Trainer included. If you want the biggest jump in raw data depth from where the QED sits today, the EYE XO is the most common pick.
EYE XO2 AI Studio (Best Value for the Money)
If you are weighing the three options purely on what you get per dollar, the EYE XO2 AI Studio is the best value of the three. The EYE XO2 AI Studio carries an MSRP of $12,879. With $1,880 in bundle savings and your $2,000 QED trade-in credit stacked on top, your final price drops to $8,999. That is $3,880 off MSRP, the same dollar savings as the EYE XO, but you are getting a third camera, the largest hitting zone in the lineup at 28 inches by 21 inches, and the most forgiving setup for left and right-handed swaps, walk-in commercial bays, and serious home studios.
The XO2 is the flagship for a reason. The third camera and the oversized hitting zone remove almost every calibration and positioning headache that smaller hitting zones introduce. For QED owners who plan to upgrade once and want the unit that will not be outgrown, the XO2 is the move. As with every other AI Studio bundle, your price includes the Swing Optix® cameras and the year of AI Trainer.
How the Trade-In Works
The process is built to be simple. Three steps, no surprises.
First, check your eligibility. Visit the QED Trade-In page and confirm your QED qualifies. Every QED purchased through Uneekor or an authorized reseller is eligible.
Second, choose your AI Studio. Pick the EYE XR, EYE XO, or EYE XO2 AI Studio bundle. Your $2,000 trade-in credit is applied at checkout, the bundle savings are already in the price, the Swing Optix® cameras and the year of AI Trainer are already in the box, and your eligible perpetual licenses are flagged for carryover.
Third, ship the QED back. After your new launch monitor ships, you will receive an email with a prepaid FedEx return label and return instructions. Pack the QED, drop it at FedEx, and you are done. Your new unit arrives on schedule.
The QED does not need to be working to qualify. Cosmetic damage, dead units, and units that have been sitting in a closet for two years all qualify for the full $2,000 trade-in credit. The only requirement is that all physical components of the QED are returned together. Units missing parts will not be eligible.
Important Notes
The program is available to QED owners in the United States and Canada. The $2,000 trade-in credit cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions outside the Summer SIMKIT package or the AI Studio pricing, and it is non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for store credit. The program is one-for-one: each QED can be traded toward one AI Studio bundle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly am I trading in for?
You are trading in for an AI Studio bundle, not just a bare launch monitor. Every AI Studio includes the launch monitor (EYE XR, EYE XO, or EYE XO2), Swing Optix® dual swing cameras, and one full year of AI Trainer. Your $2,000 trade-in credit comes off the bundle price, on top of the bundle savings already built into the AI Studio.
How much is the trade-in credit?
The QED trade-in credit is a flat $2,000 for every QED owner, regardless of when you bought your QED or the condition of the unit. Because the AI Studio bundles already include built-in savings off MSRP, your total savings end up larger than the trade-in credit alone: $4,880 off MSRP on the EYE XR AI Studio, and $3,880 off MSRP on the EYE XO and EYE XO2 AI Studio bundles.
Is my QED still eligible if it does not work?
Yes. The unit does not need to be functional. Dead QEDs, cosmetically damaged QEDs, and units that have been in storage all qualify for the full $2,000 trade-in credit, as long as all physical components are returned together.
Do my software licenses really carry over?
Yes. Eligible perpetual licenses you purchased separately for your QED carry over to your new AI Studio at no additional cost. On top of that, every AI Studio includes one year of AI Trainer.
Can I combine the trade-in credit with another discount or sale?
The $2,000 trade-in credit cannot be stacked with other promotions or seasonal sales outside of the AI Studio pricing. The credit applies on top of the built-in AI Studio bundle savings.
Can I trade my QED toward something other than an AI Studio?
The credit is reserved for the AI Studio overhead lineup, which covers the EYE XR, EYE XO, and EYE XO2, and for the Summer SIMKIT packages built on the XO and XO2. It cannot be applied to other Uneekor products.
What happens if I do not trade in before the December 31, 2026 EOL?
Your QED will keep working. You will not, however, receive any further software updates, new features, or fixes for the QED platform after that date. The trade-in program is the recommended path to stay current with Uneekor software and hardware development.
How do I ship my QED back?
After your new AI Studio ships, you will receive an email with a prepaid FedEx return label and return instructions. Pack the QED, drop it at FedEx, and the trade is complete.
Is the program available outside the United States and Canada?
The current QED Upgrade Program is available to QED owners in the United States and Canada. International QED owners should reach out to Uneekor support for guidance on regional options.
Which monitor should I choose?
Pick the EYE XR if you want to stay rear-mounted. Pick the EYE XO for the pro-grade front-mounted standard. Pick the EYE XO2 for the best value for the dollar. If you need more assistance, contact us here.
