XREAL One Pro AR Glasses with X1 Chip, Native 3 DoF, X-Prism Optics, Real 3D, 57°FOV 171" 120Hz FHD Display, XR Glasses for iPhone 17/16, Steam Deck, ROG, Mac, PC, Android & iOS M (IPD 57-66mm)

I had the previous generation xreal glasses and they were very good with a few annoying problems. This generation Xreal one fixes all of the problems with the previous generation and add more features. One of the most useful features is the ability to pin the virtual screen to real world space meaning you can move your head to the right and you see the image being left on your left side as your face turns away from it. While this is required for augmented reality, even for a more practical use, which is watching a movie on an airplane on a virtual 100 inch plus screen it is very handy to be able to turn your head slightly away to focus on something in the real world, merely by moving your head without having to fumble for your phone to hit the pause button or taking off your glasses completely. In fact, a feature in these glasses that is combined with the screen being to the physical direction is the ability for the glasses to turn off the black background temporarily when you shift your head away from where the screen is. When you are watching something on the virtual screen, it is very useful for the glasses to enable their black filters which prevents outside light from coming through the virtual screen. This was something that the old generation had as well, but this new generation can now toggle that black filter automatically as you turn your head to look away from the virtual screen, making the glasses be completely see-through to where you can see whatever you are looking at. Another cool feature is a virtual big screen meaning that not the entire entirety of the virtual screen is visible at the same time. So for example, in normal virtual screen mode, you don’t have to move your head or your eyeballs really to see the entire screen because all of it is in your field of view. With the big screen feature turned on the image is projected onto a virtual screen that is bigger than the LCD panels in the glasses, which would simulate the type of experience that you would have in the movie theater if you were sitting toward the front of the theater. Where you only see about 60% of the screen directly in front of you and you have to turn your head left or right to see the rest of the screen. This is actually a more natural way for us to view things because in the real life you tend to turn your head, slightly left or right or up or down as you’re looking around. And finally a third feature of these glasses, which is a little bit more advanced to get into but nonetheless very cool is if you have a video game that is capable of turning on virtual reality mode using “side-by-side“ then these glasses can actually act as VR glasses not just AR glasses. I have done this successfully with the video game called elite dangerous where turning on side-by-side 3-D mode creates a screen that is essentially 19 20 x 1080 x 2 meaning it’s actually 38 40 x 10 80. The left half being your left eye and the right half being your right eye. Using settings that are built right into the glasses you can enable this mode and it will split that very wide signal coming from your video game into a left eye and right eye allow allowing you to see full 3-D imagery as you are navigating your way in the video game. This is exactly what VR glasses costing hundreds of dollars more will also do, but in a much more compact and cheaper set of glasses. I highly recommend anyone that travels to buy these glasses to have a huge screen to watch movies on or do computer work on a flight and for anybody else that wants to have a portable large screen experience right from your phone or laptop anywhere you happen to be even if that is in your bedroom.

This is the future. This does not feel like a tech demo, it feels like a well thought out, high-quality device. It is incredibly simple to use, just plug into your device and then bam, big screen with your content. The screens are extremely high quality, bright, and razor sharp. As far as the sound quality, I was honestly blown away. Built in sound may not seem like a big deal, but being able to plug in and not have to worry about extra cords or putting in headphones makes all the difference in it's usability for me to just grab and go. This has become a device that I use every single time I play on my steam deck and a device I use often when watching movies or shows. Couple of small things I would like to see improved upon: • The ability to adjust the volume directly from my glasses • I love being able to customize the shortcut button but please allow me to set "Side View" as one of the options • The ability to play/pause my media with my glasses (Getting a call and having to fumble around to find your device, open the portfolio cover if it's an iPad, then hit pause is annoying) Side notes: • If you wear glasses you will MOST likely need the glasses inserts. I can get away with playing in VR without glasses but these I literally could not use without the inserts • If you want to charge your device while you use the glasses make sure you get a quality adapter like the Viture USB-C to Glasses and Charging Adapter. I tried going cheaper but the sound wouldn't pass through to the glasses. Don't make the same mistake I made • These are NOT normal sized glasses, you will look a little goofy in them but they aren't really made to walk around and use at the same time • The lens transparency feature is cool but feels more like a gimmick (unless you find a good use for "Side View" mode. There has not been a single occasion where I wanted any other transparency than just the darkest. (You can just tap a button to get full pass-through without the screen so you are good if you need that) Couple of tips/tricks: • You can increase quality by a bit by turning off stabilization (this makes smaller text easier to read and I feel like the image is sharper as well) • Turning off stabilization allows you to adjust the brightness which helps a TON if you are wearing them at night • This also allows you to adjust the color tone. I like to skew it towards the oranges in the evening so it's easier on your eyes • Try the different nose pad sizes, it took me a little bit to get it to fit exactly how I wanted and feel perfectly comfortable • Connecting to an iPhone 14 or older (lightning port) requires a lot of cables (Lightning to HDMI Adapter, HDMI to USB C 4K with USB C powered (two female USB C ports)) - Now you can plug your glasses into the HDMI to USB C adapter but you need to also power the adapter so you will need a power bank if you are on the go and another USB C cable. ALSO, this does NOT charge the phone, as you need to plug a lightning charger into the Lightning to HDMI Adapter to supply power to the phone. Final thoughts - I love this device, this now goes with me when I travel and I absolutely love laying on the couch and playing my Steam Deck while I look up to the ceiling and see a huge screen. It has added new life into games that just don't pop on smaller screens or games where you need to spot smaller things. $500 feels a bit steep but the quality of the device IS top notch and I have zero regrets getting this device in particular. I have also owned and used a multitude of VR headsets and while that is a different experience, it does eventually become cumbersome and you lose interest and doesn't add a lot of daily value. This is more like having a set of AirPods. I carry them around so I can easily enhance my listening experience instead of listening to music from my phone speaker. These are the same, it easily enhances your long form media consumption.

For the price of these I was expecting at least a pair of display glasses that simply worked consistently. These are not that. I wanted to like these so badly but they are insanely frustrating. They are full of issues and, as someone that manages tech development, I can tell you it's obvious they rushed this device to release way before it was ready to go to market as a stable product. They are using you as the customer to field test and perfect their immature product. And they are charging you $700 to do it. This is a prototype worth about half that with its current issues. Where to begin... And keep in mind I returned my first pair for some of these reasons, thinking I got a defective pair and the same issues were in the second pair. -The glasses get hot and make your nose and face sweat and then they don't stay in place. - They disconnect constantly (every few minutes) on mobile devices. It's so aggravating . They appear to at least work well on windows PC. - The anchored video drifts non stop. You anchor and 5 minutes later it's nowhere near where you set it. Feet away on the real world overlay. - there are blurry spots on the optics that persist like an eye floater. Both pairs had these in slightly different spots. - The display gets a horrible interference pattern on windows PC for things like spreadsheets. It makes looking at them so fatiguing. The crazy thing is if you start to tilt your head, when you get to about 45 degree angle it disappears entirely. This tells me it's some kind of polarization issue in the display and they didn't orient it correctly for eliminating this. No one tested on MS excel?? I feel like these didn't get usability testing at all... XReal, please hire a Human Factors team. - The pinned video always ends up drifting to not level. They added an update to calibrate this but it doesn't stay level. It always goes back to about 5 or 10 degrees off. It's so distracting. - The adjustments for view angle don't ever seem to get the display in view right. Messing endlessly with the digital display settings doesn't help this. - I have never been able to get the 3d features to work consistently. These aren't without value - I do use them and I do like them when they actually work and I don't have to fuss with them longer than I want to use them. I originally got these after a spinal neck surgery to keep my work posture straight and prevent neck pain. They work awesome for this - but again, for every hour I use these, I spend 10 minutes adjusting and resetting things to how I want it. The wide screen on windows is awesome and you can fit about 3 screens worth across a very large screen that appears to be about 6 feet wide and curved. Really cool and useful. Keep in mind the weird patterns and the fact that every time you connect them you have to cycle through settings to get back to this because it won't default to what you want. You can set hot keys but it only helps a little in set up overhead. The real redeeming quality is the chip that allows these to be plug and play on any device without an app or middleware or accessory. That's the reason I went with XReal over competitors. I'll continue to use these because of how much I spent and that they are still useful despite the frustration. But these are going to be a other expensive embarrassing purchase like an old palm pilot or a blackberry. Seemed awesome at the time but was just stepping stone tech not ready for use cases that lasted more than a year or two before something really good came out. My take? unless you're desperate for a ergonomic set up like me to reduce pain, wait a year or two and then invest in something light-years better for cheaper.

I would recommend the Xreal glasses to anyone who wants a minimal movement, extra large, high quality, visual experience with their portable devices (phone, tablet, laptop, and portable gaming devices such as steam deck, especially steam deck like systems). The most exciting use was sitting down with the phone watching a movie or with the steam deck. Especially with the steam deck where you could be comfortably reclined (like on the couch, bed, or airplane seat) and view a very large screen while also being able to comfortably hold the deck in your lap (rather than needing to hold the deck up to your face where it becomes tiring). While the glasses do draw additional battery it wasn't unreasonable and there are ways to mitigate the battery drain, by for example using a purpose made hub. I would not recommend these glasses, at this time, for desktop use. I would caution those looking for 'active' use, such as doing regular tasks while also having a screen strapped to your face (it works, but you can see vision is altered/obstructed slightly by viewing the world through the glasses, and others can see that you're beaming content to your eyes). Visuals: Very high quality with a screen size 171 inches when not in ultra wide (it claims larger in ultra wide, but that is because the screen curves), which is to say that it is still very large and your biggest issue will be the FOV (57 degrees) does not allow you to easily see the whole screen without it also clipping on the edges if you turn your head. By turning on follow mode you can mitigate this, which will cause the screen to gently glide with your vision rather being set in a fixed location (and is awesome). I personally recommend slightly reducing the screen size to fit easily within the FOV while also allowing minor head movements that will not clip the screen. This screen size will still be substantially larger than any normal TV you could purchase on the market, and it will be wherever you feel like you want it (awesome). If the exterior is very bright and you're wearing a reflective color (like white) you may have some visible light leakage from below into your lower vision, its not that bad but it is worth noting if you were looking for 'flawless' and can be mitigated a bit by location and apparel choice (don't wear reflective / white, especially in bright environments- in darkness it doesn't really matter). The electrochromic dimming, which allows the glasses to darken the lens themselves to make whatever is behind them, in the real world, less visible, helps mitigate this as well. Outside of the normal large screen and curved screen options there is also a PIP like mode where the screen is in the corner of your vision which could allow you to walk around and also have content. I personally was not able to ignore the altered vision through the glasses itself to find the screen in the corner acceptable, that said I believe some people could and for them this would allow them to do things like walk, cook, and other tasks while viewing content. You can see through them, its just partially darkened (even with electrochromic at minimum) and very slightly warped (like a less exaggerated form of looking through aquarium glass). There is a 2d to 3d mode, which is neat, but more of a gimmick- as you can see when the AI does not do it correctly, like early NVIDIA and AMD AI frame generating technology would create oil smudges on moving objects here too you'll see some AI artifacts sometimes. It's cool but would not be the reason I purchase a device. It should be obvious, but perhaps still said, people can roughly see the content you're looking at. These are not your stealth watch and play games while at work glasses ;). Sound: The sound is quite good and has minimal leakage if you control the volume. There is some leakage though, so be mindful of your surroundings or still use your headphones depending on the situation. Due to where the sound is being generated from, it will sound quite a bit different if you're laying on them and therefore covering the sound ports (so be mindful of this if you intend to strap yourself in for a long flight, or lay down, that you may also want headphones as the contact of other objects will alter the sound- you can hear it still but it will definitely not be what you'd consider 'intended'). Wear / Use: As mentioned in visuals, you can absolutely see through the glasses when they're not on, and you can increase or decrease the electrochromic dimming to make seeing through your content easier (or essentially impossible, which is great when you're wanting to focus on the content). That said, you will know you're wearing these glasses when they're not on, as they do slightly distort vision and the birdbath optics can be seen in your view too. The glasses themselves are not very heavy, and are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time so long as you do not have very sensitive ears. Some people report discomfort with the included nose pads, but I never had this issue, even when I pressed them against my face for as close as possible visuals, yet to note this product does come with additional sizes to help customize your experience and because they're removable you can change them to aftermarket options too. The glasses do generate heat, it was never enough to be annoying or distracting but you should expect your forehead to be warmed. While I would personally not see myself use them to do active tasks, I do like that I can make the glasses see through (through the electrochromic setting) and see things around me- as you do not need to take them off if you got up to go to the bathroom, do basic tasks, or to in general acknowledge your surroundings temporarily. If I needed to engage with the surroundings for longer term I would take them off, but having the ability to temporarily shift back in with ease was a notable plus. Like grabbing a drink or bite of food. There are much cheaper options that rely on physical barriers to not see through them, where the solution is not hard (take them off) the flow of being able to just do that quite task with them on is nice. Please note that these glasses are powered through their usb c connection to usb c (on the target device), and so you will be corded to something or they will not work. They do not turn on by themselves, there is no wireless feature. I did not find the wire to be a challenge, but I grew up with corded headphones and so this felt normal. If you're a wireless only person, then be aware that there is a cord and it must be used. Connecting these to a phone is relatively easy; however, if you have a Samsung phone your phone will most likely default to Dex while also not providing you a way to control Dex. You can go into settings to either default into just showing your normal phone screen (as it looks to you typically, and rotate to landscape for big screen vibes) or also go into settings and turn your phone screen into a trackpad mouse which will allow you to be in Dex mode while also controlling it via your phone screen (alternatively you could grab a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo). Many modern laptop/tablets should plug in without issue as well. However.... if you want to use this on your computer you'll need to buy additional accessories or have an uncommon (for desktop) feature of usb c video. Even then there will be a number of potential pain points depending on how it's done and ultimately for myself.. my glasses didn't like the route taken even though it was in scope of regular use. Where my glasses just stopped working, while I read the customer service for Xreal is fine and so I don't have concerns there I had largely wanted to use them for desktop and since this event occurred I decided to work with Amazon instead for a refund (and so like phones I highly recommend buying through Amazon when possible, as it can reduce a lot stress and challenges you would get otherwise when not protected). The stars are not brought down for this issue as while they don't say it CANT be used on a desktop (yet you can find some help info created by Xreal on how you might achieve this) they also don't actively advertise that opportunity, so its more of an advance user and not really a target user use case (even though it is within the sphere of possible uses). When I was using these on my phone and steamdeck it worked perfectly, and particularly on my steamdeck these were very cool. Therefore, if you wanted to use this on your desktop, please note this and potentially consider waiting for the design to be improved- or understand you are the edge of use cases. In so much that if you wanted to use this exclusively for desktop, you should mentally remove stars from my review and potentially reevaluate if these are right for you - as for me it was not convenient and ended up causing issues with my glasses. One notable quality of life missing, especially while using the glasses with my phone, is that you may mentally want to use hand to grab content sometimes and that is not currently possible with the glasses (no hand tracking), but I suppose I should note that is a feature rare to all glasses of this field (at this time, soon it wont be!). Battery: These do not come with their own battery, they siphon from the device they're plugged into. This means whatever you're connected to will have a higher battery draw than without these glasses. The draw is not that bad; however, if you're not typically using your phone for videos non-stop and then you compare that to using this while also looking at videos non-stop... it's going to be a huge difference and make your phone battery look like it's flying. There are accessory solutions to allow the glasses to plug into a hub, which plugs into your target device, to make that device last longer (Xreal and others sell this battery hub, I would recommend it if you're going to use it for travel - as you cannot charge your device while also using the glasses without a hub, since it takes the usb slot, unless you have this hub as well or a device with multiple ports built in like some laptops). Material: The material feels sturdy and should hold up against regular use. The wings of the glasses have a bit of give on them, to open the frames wider, for larger faces- this could feel a little scary but is by design (assuming you're not trying to make them do the splits.. don't do that). Product packaging: High quality packaging, the type of boxes you get that are sturdy enough that you might want to reuse it for other things. It comes with a case for the glasses, though I wish there was a section dedicated to packing the cord with the unit (as mentioned the device is corded, so the cord goes with the glasses). Additionally there is the usb cord, glass cleaner, insert for prescription glasses, and multiple nose pad options included. Overall thoughts: The glasses look and sound great, with a great FOV for the field they're competing in (as of early 2026). Although you will pay for that when compared to other glasses, when these are on sale I think they are a good value for a premium product (there are cheaper options out there if you're willing to lose sight of real life all together or will not move your head AT ALL, where follow mode in these glasses make for a very comfortable experience). If you wanted an awesome way to enjoy movies and games on devices like your phone, tablet, laptop, or portable gaming device (steam deck, etc), these were a joy to use. If you are looking to replace your desktop experience I would wait for the technology to be refined. If you wanted to wear these while doing regular tasks, and don't mind ignoring partially disrupted vision, these are also interesting, but if you wanted to feel like a seamless AR experience then we are getting there but is not quite the tech you're looking for. When you're looking for far better FOV you will be starting to look at actual headsets rather than glasses (for now, technology is on the move!). The things that I would like improved most in these glasses are currently the bleeding of edge of technology and so I cannot really fault this product for not having the features that are not even out (yet). With higher FOV, and built in hand tracking, I think these types of glasses will really shine. TL;DR: 5/5 for passive low motion situations on portable devices, with an absolutely highly recommended incredible steam deck experience, your plane rides with these would be incredible. Particular the rating is in terms of products currently out there and available (EARLY 2026). This technology is improving rapidly, and by the end of this year all pain points mentioned above may not even be a thing (also check your updates on these glasses, as these glasses themselves do get updates that improve them). I am looking forward to the future with this technology, I would look into Aura by Xreal if you're looking for 'more'. I do not recommend this product if you're looking for desktop specific uses only, it was a 3/5 experience at best trying to get it to work, and I would highly recommend purchasing through Amazon if you're going to give this route a try anyways (for additional protection). I caution them if looking to use them for active conditions, like walking, or cooking, due to the minor visual changes (minor sunshade, even with low electrochromic settings, and visual aquarium-like effects). I highly discourage time sensitive safety important tasks, like driving as I would not even try it in that situation (outside of just the general concept of distracted driving, these slightly alter and obstruct your vision in such a way you will be less effective).

I could easily rate the XREAL One AR glasses a 4.5 stars! They come remarkably close to perfection and are undoubtedly the best AR glasses on the market right now. Here's a breakdown of my experience: - Cons . Audio Compatibility with Rokid Station Google TV Neither the glasses' UDP nor DP audio protocols settings worked with this Rokid Station Google TV device I have, requiring me to use separate headphones or earphones as a workaround. . Comfort While Side-Lying During extended use while lying on my side (compared to the soft finish of the Viture One Pro), the plastic did cause some discomfort after about an hour, but other than that, they are comfortable to be using for extended hours. -Pros. These glasses deliver everything I’ve been looking for in AR technology. They’re a game-changer! . Versatile AR Experience: The built-in chipset enables incredible software features. You can adjust screen size, distance, and positioning with options like anchored, following, or picture-in-picture (PIP). While PIP is limited to the top corners, a firmware update for bottom-corner placement would be great! . Seamless Connectivity: The switch to a female USB-C connection eliminates the need for extra cables or couplers (a welcome improvement over the Viture One Pro). . Outstanding Display: The screen is impressively large, with options for color temperature adjustment and mechanical/manual viewing angle tweaks. . Comfortable Design: The nose pads are well-designed, making the glasses very comfortable to wear overall. . Smooth Motion Tracking: The smooth-follow feature significantly reduces motion sickness for me! -Neutral Point . IPD Adjustment: While you can adjust the interpupillary distance (IPD), you can’t adjust for myopia like on the Viture One Pro. However, I find this acceptable given the extra chipset packed into these glasses so definitely less room for such a feature and to top it off, that would not cover astigmatism/hyperopia and others. XREAL does offer prescription lens partners, which I may explore. -Conclusion Despite two minor issues, the XREAL One AR glasses deliver an outstanding AR experience that makes multitasking, chores, and even social interaction seamless. With a few small tweaks, this could easily be a 5-star product. Highly recommended!

The Good: The screens are fantastic. The X1 chip features work as advertised. For what these glasses ARE - a private display for gaming, movies, and work plugged into my RTX 4090 - the tech delivers. The Problem: The comfort claims in the marketing don't match reality out of the box. Around the hour mark, nose pain sets in. The 89g weight doesn't sound like much, but it's front-loaded, and the nose pads press hard on the bridge. I had visible pressure marks on my nose for weeks (see photos). What Actually Worked: I removed the XReal nose pads entirely and used: Rhinoplasty Suspension Headband - keeps the weight off your nose completely Triangle Powder Makeup Puffs - act like pillows on the sides, providing soft tension to hold the glasses in place My setup: 1. Remove the XReal nose pads (you won't need them) 2. Put on the rhinoplasty suspension headband and adjust it so it's secure 3. Rest the XREAL glasses on the headband hook 4. Place triangle puffs on both sides of the glasses ear frames so they are cushioned against your head 5. Adjust IPD to a higher setting if needed The result? Actually comfortable XReal glasses for hours with no nose bite. I'm speaking from experience. It's not 100% perfect, but I'd say more like 90%. This worked for me - it might work for you. Although my nose is still healing after a few weeks of no nose pads. Credit Where Due: XReal reached out after my original review 1 star review. I've since changed it to reflect the overall experience and outcome. They acknowledged the nose pad design affects users with higher nose bridges and said they're working on improvements. They attempted to make it right and wanted to send me some improved nosepads for testing. However, I eventually found my own solution that works. Bottom Line: If you're expecting "hours of comfortable viewing" straight out of the box like the marketing suggests - adjust your expectations. But if you're willing to get creative, the underlying tech is worth it. Buyer beware on comfort. But solvable with effort.

These glasses are great! I have been using AR glasses for productivity and gaming since the NREAL Air back in 2022 and finally decided to upgrade. The One Pros are an improvement in every way. The built in 3DoF processing is super stable and does not drift after hours of use and is activated with a press of a button. Not having to rely on other processing devices or external software is the main reason why I wanted to upgrade to the One Pro. When you have the screen anchored in front of you the glasses automatically get dark around the outside of the screen so it's like you're in a theater, and then you look away from the floating screen, they automatically turn back to transparent, super cool and works really well for using your laptop screen in addition to the virtual one. Resolution is great and text is very readable thanks to the clarity adjustment and IPD settings (I am writing this review while wearing them). Built in menu and settings are easy to use and you can customize 3 quick settings that can be changed at the press of a button. 120hz refresh rate is awesome for gaming. The glasses sound fine, though I will mostly be using them with headphones so I didn't test this too much. While the One Pro is not the cheapest option out there, the features present over the competition was well worth the investment for myself. The built quality and included hard case also give me confidence they will last just as long as my old pair did too.

These glasses are truly amazing! The AR display glasses community has been dreaming of this tech and its finally here! There are two main things that make these glasses special that no other commercial display glasses have - built in 3dof from the x1 chip (ie image stabilization like a gimbal, image pinning/anchoring, head tracking) and prism optics which are smaller/thinner and effectively eliminate all reflections from your environment. 3dof Why is image stabilization and anchoring so important? Without stabilization, the image will move with every movement and micromovement of your body, with each step you take the image will bounce around violently, to chewing your food there will be a shake with each bite, to even just sitting perfectly still you can even notice a small movement with each heartbeat. If not nauseating (which it is for most users including myself) then it is very annoying and distracting. Anchoring is important when you need to look at the edges of the screen, especially to view text. This is most important with productivity and gaming, but not so much media consumption. You will often need to look at the edges of the screen for taskbars and toolbars which provides quick access important information, but what good is this if you cant read it! Without 3dof, you will quickly get eye strain as you have to look with your eyes only and cannot move your head and this is very unnatural and tiring. Edges of screens are also generally the blurriest because lens curvature around the edge and less overlap of eyesight. With 3dof image anchoring, this solves the eyestrain and blurry edges because you can move your head now to see the edges! 3dof in all past gen display glasses were implemented via software, but for the one pro, it is built right into the glasses. no extra hardware or software needed. Just plug the glasses into any usbc video out capable device and that is it. No fiddling with software to get it working or worrying about if your device is compatible with the software and no need for your device to meet minimum (often high and restrictive) specs to get the software running. With software 3dof there are often compatibility issues with different os as well as apps like streaming services and security issues with work computers as the software records your screen to redisplay in AR space. Built in 3dof without relying on software means you can use the 3dof with a low power/speced device like an older pc or a single board pc or a gaming handheld or console like the switch, xbox, playstation, with any phone with usbc video out, and with any operating system and app, and with a work pc. The one pro has many more compatible use cases than previous gen glasses! Important is also the quality of the 3dof. The x1 chip does an amazing job. lt is rock solid with no jittering, stuttering, drift or lag. Other company 3dof all have issues in one or several of these areas, but not here. Having bad 3dof is not much better than not having it at all. If you have never tried good 3dof, it is something you really have to try to appreciate. There are lots of different display glasses manufacturers and I have tried many of them. I even went to CES and tried many that are not commercially available. Some have their strengths in display sharpness, low cost, form factor, brightness, etc, but everything pales in comparison to the One Pro with the X1 chip. Prism optics Previous gen glasses notoriously suffered from reflections from your surrounding environment, particularly in bright light. On a sunny day, you could not even see the image sitting by a window or going outside. You need to physically attach a bottom light blocker to the glasses. While this works, it honestly looks quite ridiculous, especially wearing outside. With the new prism lenses, there are no reflections and you can easily wear it on a bright sunny day without issue. The new prism lenses are also smaller and thinner than the last gen birdbath lenses (approx 40%) so the glasses don't stick out from your face as far and look more like normal sunglasses. These are the best looking (to me) glasses yet and I wear them in public all the time and no one hardly notices. Other Considerations - the imperfect There are a couple considerations which other reviews may mention may be a con to some. The prism lenses have a slight pincushion effect, the increased fov while nice, will slightly lower the image clarity as the image is stretched over a larger area, and there is a slight shimmer effect for certain text. To me, these issues are very minor and the benefits of the glasses overwhelmingly outweigh these negatives. These issues are mostly nitpicking on minor things which would not be even noticeable by the average user. The pincushion effect means the very edges of the screen curve inwards slightly with the 4 corners furthest out. This effect is not normally seen at all when using as a normal 16:9 aspect ratio. You can only see the effect when trying to make the screen larger than your field of view or using ultrawide mode (which is simply amazing). The effect itself, even when noticeable is very slight, and not really bothersome, just different. To me, the display quality is fantastic and I can easily use it all day for productivity reading small text and working with spreadsheets. But some complain that the text is not as clear compared to previous gen glasses because the field of view got larger. It is true that the pixels are now spread over a larger area, so the pixel density is less, however I find that because the field of view is larger, you can make the screen and its contents larger so it negates the loss in clarity. For example, when using older glasses to read a 10pt font, the actual physical size of that text is slightly smaller than using the one pros to read that same 10pt font with the same source device. I have done many readability tests back to back and I consistently get the same readability results. All other display clarity issues are primarily fit issues. Either ipd or face/head shape incompatibilities which may make the screens too far from the optimal viewing distance and location. One pros are one of the most adjustable glasses with arm heights, different physical size medium and large for ipd, and different nose pads that can be even stretched and pinched for customized fit. Really it is best to try it out yourself to see if it works for you as glasses fit is a very personal thing. The shimmer effect while also very minor, may be the most distracting issue of these three. It is generally only noticeable when viewing very small text with certain dark and light background to text contrasts. Again, most will not even notice this at all, but you get used to it quickly and isn't bothersome to me. So overall these glasses are amazing and the benefits overwhelmingly outweigh any negatives. These are very close to perfect to me and are definitely the ones to buy. All other glasses feel like outdated tech now. Once you get used to built in 3dof, it is very very hard to go back.

I expected more from these glasses. The image quality, in particular, is disappointing — it lacks sharpness, especially when compared to competing products that deliver a noticeably clearer and more refined picture. The real-time 3D conversion is an interesting feature and a nice concept on paper, but in its current state it still feels more like a gimmick than a truly useful enhancement. It needs further refinement to become genuinely compelling. My main concern, however, is the limitation within the Apple ecosystem. When downloading movies for offline viewing — for example on a flight — DRM restrictions force you to use a lower-resolution version when connected to the glasses. As a result, the already limited sharpness is further degraded. Competing brands do not have this issue, allowing full-resolution downloads and a significantly better viewing experience. Overall, the concept is promising, but the execution — particularly in image clarity and ecosystem compatibility — falls short of expectations.

I was all set to experience this new tech , and it still blew my mind! Everything works great. However, I’m taking one star off to suggest improvements in the design and wearing comfort.

First time using AR glasses. I was a little surprised at the FOV being only at 50 degrees, but after using it for sometime, I got used to it. I’ve encountered no issues so far. They’re great for an extra screen for productivity purposes. I can open 3-5 windows with the ultra wide. Although, it’s a little blurry, but that’s expected with early generations of AR. While outside, it can be a little hard to see if it’s bright. In other words, you can see beyond the screen. But if it’s night time, it’s bright enough to block your vision.

Great for tv, movies on the go - especially airplanes. We travel quite a bit - just returned from Calgary to Bangkok flights - between flying time and layovers, it was great to be able to watch tv and downloaded movies on my iPhone (get the VReal hub power and play - Asia flights do not permit use of power banks during flights). I had used my MetaQuest in}n a Europe flight this past spring - nice, but bulky and no peripheral awareness re meals, other passengers, etc.. highly recommend. Also - bluetooth connection doesn't work on MetaQuest work with a few exceptions - with zero noise cancelling. Bluetooth with XReal via iPhone worked perfectly. Big screen, high quality picture results - in public, used with both bluetooth Sony ear buds and headphones. At home - in glasses speakers are excellent .

Good, better than VITURE
