Delightfully surprised by these glasses!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I got these first and actually ordered and received the Xreal One Pros as well thinking that they’d be better. I was going to return these Xreal ones if the pro was better by a lot but I’ve decided now to stick with the Xreal ones. The Xreal Pros do some things better, but in terms of comfort and experience, I think this is the sweet spot! You don’t get perfect immersion, but you are buying the wrong stuff if you are looking for AR glasses for immersion. That’s what VR headsets are for. That said, I wouldn’t dock the Xreal Pros for anything, but just acknowledge that they are both good for different reasons. If FOV is important to you, the Xreal Pros are worth the extra $100-150. Sound is great IMO for most users, but if you are an audiophile you are prob going to buy or use your own audio stuff anyway. The buttons are really intuitive and the tutorial is easy to understand and learn. This is my first AR purchase, before this I attempted to play with Pico 4, but the experience just wasn’t there yet.Don’t buy these if blending in is a big thing for you. It’s more discreet than a headset and if you are a background actor, and positioned inconspicuously, nobody would prob notice. But if you interact with anybody directly, they will notice it.Ultrawide is freaking awesome, the FOV kind of puts a damper on it due to edges cutting off. It won’t be like a monitor where you can see the edges peripherally even if it’s not what you are focusing on. But I’d imagine if you are someone who is easily distracted, the narrow FOV might actually increase your productivity. That said, having the option to line up 3 full windows is the win11 window placement is really nice.ALSO, I ordered the prescription lenses from HonsVR and I actually think the comfort and experiment is much better with prescription lenses than with my contacts, and I have really bad vision but I love my contacts.The one thing the XR Pros have over these is that they’ve effectively done away with the reflection and glare. That ALONE would be my suggestion to buy the pros over these. BUT I know what I use my Ones for and I find the comfort level is worth the trade off. The pros seem to run warmer and due to the chip at top of the glasses being closer to the user, you will notice the warmth much sooner. I actively had to tinker and adjust to try to get the glasses to not touch my brows, but it just does.Lots of people will complain about 1080, but lots has to do with to immersion, detail, and productivity. But honestly, the forward progress of graphics cards and gaming has just been disappointing. 5 years ago, we were SO CLOSE to where if I splurged on a good high end GPU, and was content with 1080 resolution, I’d be able to play ALL GAMES on a minimum of 60FPS(1%lows no lower than 60FPS) with rastarized performance! With UE5 coming out, devs depending on FSR/DLSS and just other practices, we are just still not there. Atleast that’s what I wanted, 1440 and 4K is nice but just a bonus feature for me. My personal min requirement if I was going to splurge was the dang thing MUST no brain max settings handle 1080 at above 60 fps(1%lows). So for me, and if you are like me, I am happy to pay more to get the most out of the 1080 experience. That said, this device meets my needs for 1080 with the extra gift of Ultrawide mode being 3840x1080… on the Xreal ones! That is like having 2 1080 monitors side by side!TL:DR, if you got realistic expectations, I’d go Xreal ones over pros. The reasons are: comfort, price point, great sound for the average user, and 1080 is perfect if you just want to maximize the 1080 experience.

Awesome AR Glasses!

XREAL One AR Glasses – Hands-On ReviewThe XREAL One AR Glasses offer a stylish and compact take on augmented reality wearables, striking a solid balance between form and function.Design & ComfortThese glasses boast a sleek sunglasses-style design that feels lightweight and comfortable for extended use. The included adjustable nose pads and detachable temples (for connecting a tether) make them more user-friendly and wearable than many bulkier competitors.Display & VisualsThe XREAL One delivers vibrant visuals via micro-OLED displays with up to Full HD per eye. It’s excellent for immersive video watching and light AR applications. The screen clarity is good, though not quite on par with true mixed-reality headsets like the Meta Quest Pro or Apple Vision Pro. However, for a plug-and-play AR experience, it’s impressive. The XREAL One AR Glasses are a cutting-edge entry into the spatial computing and AR space, packing power, performance, and portability into a pair of sleek wearable displays. Designed to pair effortlessly with popular devices like the iPhone 16/15, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Mac, Android, and Windows PCs, these glasses offer a high-end viewing experience in a discreet and comfortable form.

Bold step into future

Just picked up the XReal One and I have been pretty impressed with how useful it’s been in my daily life. It’s nice and light weight and easily put in my backpack and go. Picture having a monitor or a big screen TV while moving through your normal day. I can just lay back and have whatever is on my phone or TV mirrored. No more neck strain. The display is pretty crisp for the price and Bose audio is not too shabby. I love that it is plug and play. I’m still learning more about it but definitely great for work or personal use. I haven’t tried gaming on it yet but it should be fun to try out. The only knock on the glasses is that it has to be tethered to your device which can drain your device battery. But overall, it’s one of the best gadgets I’ve gotten that I find very useful.

Solid Upgrades, but the Viewing Experience Feels Off

M. · 3 July 2025

I’ve been using the original Nreal Air for years and always loved how the full screen stayed in view, no matter how I moved. With these, it’s a little different — takes some getting used to. The edges can get cut off when you move your head, whether you’re in anchor mode or head-follow.I’m thinking about checking out the XREAL One Pro next since it’s supposed to have a slightly wider FOV. If that doesn’t work out, I might just grab a new pair of the original — honestly, I’m only replacing them because the temples are worn out from years of solid use.That said, I do like some of the upgrades here. The 3D mode, screen dimming, and brightness boost are all really nice improvements. I just wish the view stayed more consistent — it kind of takes away from the overall experience.

My go-to Travel buddy! Fantastic!

I ordered one a few months ago and this is my second pair of XREAL one. This has quickly become mg go-to for long haul travel. I am able to connect to pretty much any device, my phone, my Mac, my steam deck and get super clear resolution. Super happy with my purchase, gold job XREAL!
