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.

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.

4 Stars for now, as I've only had them for a full day. Once I unlock the full potential, that may go up. To preface this, I'm only using these for watching movies, YouTube videos, an especially gaming. 1. Wow! These are incredible! I can honestly say these will already replace my multiple monitor setup. That's HUGE for me, as I plan on living the #VanLife soon, an every square inch is coveted. These are like being in a near-IMAX theatre, an I'm already playing around with converting videos an games to 3d content. 2. Brightness. I don't even need to have the chromatic display as dark as setting 3. Setting 2 is just fine, as I'm normally working/playing in a dim/dark environment anyway. Setting 3/full darkness is the best for immersion in mine environ. 3. X1 Chip a game changer. Can pin in place or have the view follow. For other glasses, you'd need a seperate dongle for this feature, though I will admit, when in follow mode an as horizontal as you can get, when you switch to pin mode, it will skew one way or the other, right or left. Just have to play around with it, but no big deal. 4. I wear contacts, so I don't know how these work with inserts, but the software IPD works just fine. I find no blurriness in anything but the largest virtual screen possible, at the closest to the "screen". 5. I've been in these glasses all day since 11:00am. It is now nearly 9pm, an I feel no nausea, eyestrain, or any other discomfort other than having to take them off maybe every hour an a half, as the bridge does get warm. Not hot, not uncomfortable, just slightly warm. Besides, with ANY screen, you should always take breaks. 6. The included plastic faux frame? Not sure what that's for. It kept seperating from the glasses slightly. Magnetic? Maybe not so powerful, but I took that off anyway, as it doesn't do a thing. Perhaps there are darker shades for this purpose? Not sure, but don't care. 7. Price. This is a doozy. I've been saving for months for something like these or the Virture glasses, an while I'm not disappointed, it is a vast financial pill to swallow. I hope they stand up to the test of time. 8. The bows/arms. At first I was scared to adjust them, as they feel like they can break. They might have as I was trying, but you have to adjust them at the very farthest point, near the glasses themselves, an not at the back of the silver part, which you would logically think the fulcrum would be. Luckily, I figured that out quickly. Overall, I'm so happy I took the plunge. They work amazingly! I would have liked to have waited until someone came up with a 1440p OLED version, but to be honest, I don't really see much in terms of fidelity on these anyway. They work great! My only gripe is that there will always be something better next year, an the year after that. If you are waiting for the perfect pair, they'll never arrive. If you want something now that just works, these are the ones! Plug an play, no dongles or anything else, as long as your device has USB-C with DP output. I'm only using these as a desktop replacement for my laptop, an my Sager has Thunderbolt 4, so it just detected as another monitor.

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.

Good Products

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.

Planed to use for work and leisure but found that the words in PDFs and emails were just too blurry even though the super wide screen was helpful. Then I got the prescription lenses and it cleared everything right up. My prescription is very light so I thought I’d be fine without but even with the slight adjustment, it made all the difference. Goes without saying that these are great for movies but I like spreading my spreadsheets across the widescreen and bask in the huge amount of data. Still getting used to the limited field of view that comes with these types of glasses but I believe these are the best for that so can’t complain.
