XREAL One AR Glasses with X1 Chip, Native 3 DoF, 147" 50°FOV 120Hz HD Display, Expertly Tuned Audio, Video Display Glasses for iPhone 16/15, Steam Deck, ROG, Mac, PC, Android & iOS

I’ve tried a few pairs and researched for days and days trying to find just what I was looking for and that turned out to be the XREAL One. These are exactly what I’ve been searching for. They’re so comfortable, with a design that actually works for real-world use. Unlike the Viture which had some impressive features (but did not execute them nearly as well as these) but I felt as if I was wearing a pair of kids glasses, the XREAL One fits across my face perfectly. I can see clearly and immerse myself without getting distracted by the movement of everything around me. I have never thought of myself as having a big head or wide face (round yes but not too wide) until I put the viture glasses on my head and cound see around every part of them no matter how they were positioned or what nose pads I wore nothing worked(not to mention they looked really stupid being so narrow on my face). I wanted something that I could actually wear outside if I wanted and it not scream AR glasses. Honestly, the xreal one glasses are very similar to the size and shape of a lot of my sunglasses so I am quite comfortable wearing them around. Also, if you have ever owned or seen the viture glasses these are not as bulky at the top and do not stick out as far (which i have seen reviews about these being bulky). Honestly, maybe you can tell these are not regular glasses, but if you have seen me with my usual sunglasses on, these would not make you turn your head and think they were not one of my normal pairs! So what I was looking for I thought was simple to come across but apparently not so much. I get bad migraines, and a lot of the time it helps to dull them if I can lay down flat (and i know this sounds weird) and keep my eyes focused on something such as a tv. Also i'll lay flat if I feel like I am getting a migraine to hopefully prevent it which is no fun just staring at the ceiling. So, I have a projector (or 3) and my PSvr and VR2 headsets but those are a lot of hassel sometimes, not to mention the vr headsets are HOT and you get sweaty real quick. So what I wanted was something that had decent quality but would not break the bank, that I could blackout the light easily, the screen was a decent size and clear, the sound sharp, the glasses were comfortable and easy to use, and I really wanted something that I could pin a tiny screen to the corner of my vision and still see through the glasses. All of those things I mentioned were do-able with other cheaper glasses but no easily and not without a seond device! I had looked at the air 2 pro version of xreal (and actually accidently ordered them first without realizing I ordered the wrong ones) but to do what I wanted I needed the beam thing. So with the viture neckband or the air 2 with the beam, it came out to more money than these glasses which DO EVERYTHING by themselves and very easily might I add!!! The display is sharp, vibrant, and super responsive. I love how I can pin a small screen in the corner for casual multitasking or go full cinema mode with a screen size that honestly feels ridiculous—in a good way (the Viture does not compare here at all with screen size). Being able to swap modes with a quick button press is a game-changer. Plus, I can still use just my phone—no second device needed. That’s HUGE. I am a Samsung user and currently use a Fold 6. I love DEX and have been a long time user and it is the reason I will never go back to any other brand!! Anyways, using Dex this is flawless and does not drain any more battery than wireless streaming of Dex to a tv or computer. I know I meantioned you can do everything without a second device but I forgot to mention that you also do not need a seperate app to do any of these things. I did nto even see a need for the Nebula app when connecting these to my PC or Mac. Everything worked flawlessly unlike the other glasses like the viture which needed the spacewalker app/program (HORRIBLE AND BUGGY). The menu of the glasses is easy to get to and navigate not to mention has everything you need right there with just the little 3 buttons on the glasses themselves. The glasses integrate well with everything I need, and while a few minor things like a built-in pause or volume rocker shortcut would be nice, the overall experience is unbeatable. Between the screen quality, ease of use, and overall flexibility—these are absolutely worth the extra money and I can not hype these up enough. If you’ve tried other AR glasses and walked away disappointed, these are the redemption arc. I'm obsessed. Dont't even consider the others just buy these!!!!!!

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.

I purchased the Xreal One glasses at first, along with the adapter to be able to connect to my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and a portable charger. My primary and pretty much only use case for the glasses was to help me take my mind off of doing laps in my backyard to get my daily steps in. For the first couple of days, I used the iPhone as the hosting device, and it worked decently well. However, it certainly took a sizable toll on the phone's battery and being that it's 21ish months old, the battery isn't what it used to be. So I decided to pull the trigger on the Beam Pro device to use for my daily laps, and since I have an outdoor Unifi network, 5G wasn't necessary. I've worked in IT for 28 years, so I've been around the block with technology, gadgets, and such. On first impression, I found the visual quality to be quite good. The comfort of the glasses is good, and it was straight forward to get them set up, and also updated. The image stabilization is also very good when walking, and I run these in follow mode pretty much all the time. The sound is ample and clear, and I have not so great hearing in one of my ears, so I was pleased with that as well. When it comes to pairing them with the Beam Pro, I'm not taking photos or videos. I am exclusively using these glasses for entertainment and courseware on a variety of apps. I'd say thus far, I've mostly used YouTube and Netflix, and I have been really surprised how much simply having something to watch has helped me not really think about the steps I'm getting in. I simply make my laps and then look down at my iWatch to see I've already got 4500 steps in. Before the Xreal One glasses, I was always looking at my watch to track my progress, but with the glasses, I simply don't care as much. I have gotten in more steps which has required less mental motivation to do those steps. I do feel, and I want to caveat this by saying I'm not a long-term power user of these glasses, but at this point I like the combination of the Beam Pro with the glasses. I feel the usability is better, and I like how I can better size the screen and position using the Beam Pro. There are quirks to the device though, and once I have a YouTube video playing, I always make sure to first lock out the Beam Pro touch controls which is easy with a press of a buttom on the screen. I Then hit the side button to turn the display off, and then put the Beam Pro in my pocket. It rarely gives me any weird behavior, though occasionally I'll get a popup about the laser pointer that I click on Do Not Show Again, which doesn't appear to be persistent outside of that session. Learning how to reset the pointer with the long-press of the home button is important as you change positions, such as standing up or sitting down. I also paired a RII i4 mini bluetooth keyboard with the Beam Pro to allow easier entering of information when I want to search for something. I normally try to get things set up before connecting the glasses, just using the screen on the Beam Pro. That helps me get into my walk quicker with less hassle. I will also state that with the Xreal One's connected to the Beam Pro, it looks like you can get somewhere between 2-2.5 hours of run time without using any energy saver modes. I paid attention today and after an hour of use, the Beam Pro was down to 64% battery. Lastly, one thing I worried about was comfort or eye strain, but I can report, at least with video content, I've had no issues. It's clear, detailed, and has not posed any issues for me. In addition, with how I set up the screen to be more located in the top/right porition of the display, it leaves a little more area for my left eye to help me navigate while walking. I do not find the cord to be troublesome at this point provided I drape it over my left shoulder, behind my arm, and then down into my left front pocket connected to the Beam Pro. Would I buy these again? Yeah, I think I would. I've been using them every day for over a week now and I see no signs of that changing anytime soon. The fact it helps me exercise more is huge, and for my video content use case, I think they're quite good. The four star rating is due to some of the quirks which I feel could be better implemented, but all told, these things are pretty dang solid. I will touch on having connected them to my WIndows 11 laptop, in a pinch I could use them for productivity, but as other reviewers call out, text quality, and uniformity across the entire display is not what I'd consider great. It is usable and I could use it in a pinch, but I feel video content is where these glasses really shine, at least for me. I would not call the overall experience highly refined. There are some quirks and clunkiness here and there, but most can be adapted to so that your experience is as opitmal as possible. I also feel that this is a decent chunk of change to spend for something to wear while walking, but for me in my late 40's, I need to get into better shape and anything I can do to help me exercise more at this point is a win, and thus far, this has exceeded my expectations in how it helps me pass the time. We all buy things for different reasons and I wanted to lay out why I bought these.

couldn’t be happier with these AR glasses! The visuals are stunning—crisp, bright, and feel like having a giant screen right in front of me. The Bose audio is a game-changer; movies and games sound incredible without needing extra headphones. They’re super lightweight and comfortable, so I can wear them for hours without any strain. Setup was easy, and I love how versatile they are—works with my phone, laptop, and even my gaming handheld. The electrochromic dimming feature is brilliant for switching between bright and dark environments. It honestly feels futuristic! If you want a portable cinematic experience and a productivity boost, this is it. Worth every penny—I’m beyond happy with this purchase!

Very happy. I use the to work remotely. I had an older XReal which broke after several years and another brand - both fine while they worked but incompatible drivers fory Windows Arm. With the X1, I can walk into a coffee shop, plug in my Samsung phone with a Bluetooth keyboard, and have a highly functional DeX desktop in seconds, all that fits in a hip pouch. Or better yet, plug into my laptop and immediately have a large private double-wide 1080 display... Not quite as nice as my multi-monitor home office but fully functional and a lot more portable.

Xreal Blurry on edges no matter what I do. Never is actually a clear picture. Accessories required for use with anything but a steam deck or phone, but no first party accessories. Can't play games and charge steam deck without sketchy accessories. With only Usb c, barely works and hard to find things to use it with. Basically unusable on anything but a steam deck or similar without accessories, and with the inability to charge at the same time, I have had my steam deck shut down on me due to low power. Hard to even get it updated as you require a pc with USB c display connection, which would require a 2020 or newer laptop. That or you can download chrome to your steam deck desktop and get it updated or otherwise I never would have been able to. I like it, it's really cool when first using it, but the blurry edges I cant fix, and general suck of the device and lack of accessories, along with being $120 more than the cheapest steam deck for what is basically just a steam deck accessory is ridiculous. It appears the cost is a requirement for this kind of tech, and that ruins it. Xreal One is the first Xreal I would recommend, but I also barely can and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't aware of these issues and able to accept them, likely due to being traveling too much or just having $500 to burn without concern. If I was homeless, I would run this and my steam deck. I put in my Xreal for return and have been testing it out further to see if I really want to keep or return since I have all the weird accessories and I do appear to enjoy the experience a little bit more than playing on my monitor. Would I buy it now with the knowledge I have, no, but I have the device already... I've realized the Steam Deck simply isn't powerful enough to not have blurry edges in it's games. I tested primarily with Elden Ring and it's far better on my gaming desktop with the Xreal. That still means I'll dislike using the glasses on the one device they really should be used with other than phones or a $1200 steam deck clone.

Really happy for whoever this works for but I just can't get them to work. I think my eyes just don't jive well with AR and VR headsets. It's almost the same situation I found myself with the oculus quest 2 where despite the high resolution screens being pressed to the eyeballs, the edges would always feel a bit blurry and outside of moving pictures/games/videos/etc, text would always be a pain in the butt to read and sift through. It was the same experience with these glasses albeit with less facial heat dissipating since my face isn't sealed into the visor like it is with the quest 2. In this case no matter how much adjusting I did, from physical with the nose pads and legs, to virtual by changing the IPD, text strength, brightness, screen size, and more, I could not get these glasses to be both comfortable and practical and for the price I'm paying, I'm not going to settle for "ok?" In terms of feeling and usage. I work remotely, doing a lot of visual studio code. I'm used to my 34 in ultrawide moniter. The ultra wide mode on these glasses is absolutely nothing like my actual physical screen. I don't know how they're marketing it like using a Samsung 32:9 ultrawide cause it just doesn't feel like that at all. Feels like staring at a 32 in that's virtually curved. Not great. Also topping out at 1080p doesn't help as even at that close distance, convoluted settings aside, my eyes just couldn't stop focusing on the distracting blurs and rough edges of the text. Code on visual studio gave me a headache after trying for an hour. Also since I have a Samsung, fold 6 to be precise, I could only use these glasses in Dex mode which is not as user-friendly as simply mirroring your phone to the glasses and using it as so, like how it is with iPhones. So that sucks. Also doesn't work with switch 2 so if you were hoping for that functionality, keep waiting. Never planned on using this for my PlayStation so not testing that and I don't have a mobile gaming handheld like an ROG Ally. Used to but sold it. I'm sure these would have been nice on those but again, not for my use case. All in all, they're probably the best this AR glasses scene has to offer and the sound is great for what it is, brightness as well. I didn't suffer from random reflections as the prisms you're looking through are bent at an angle but that wasn't an issue. And being able to pin the screen so it's not following you around is a must, I don't know how these other companies don't incorporate that from the getgo. All in all, premium device but I think it's time to admit to myself that VR/AR headsets/glasses just aren't for me.

Compared price to Meta quest 3! This is better than Nreal and Xreal older version but when i plugged it to my computer im surprise to see reduced image quality(Even when i adjusted both the size and distance). I was trying to read smaller text and i couldn't read them, while on my computer screen its perfectly readable. This gave me headache and eye strain. So is it crisp as the description says? Absolutely not. At this point 500usd is just asking for too much, compare to Meta quest, which got so much more functionality without wire and witout needing outside devices. Unlike meta quest 3 which i use for hours, i cant say the same for Xreal one coz it gives me headache. Meta Quest 3 is still better in watching movies for multple reasons, coz can change environments and text are easily magnifiable. For 500 usd this device should be... 1) A stand alone device not needing other devices. 2) No blurry small texts even after size and distance were adjusted. 3) Cannot compete with Meta quest 3 for the same price coz of multiple functionality. 4) Larger inner lenses. Looking inside small lenses is a chore coz how small the lenses are. Meta quest 3 does better job on this. I think this is also where my headache came from. 5) No power supply. Its sure to drain your phone battery.
