I tried two AR glasses, the Xreal 1s and the Viture Pro. In the end I returned the Virture Pro and kept the Xreal 1s. They were superior in almost every way. Let's start with 3dof. If all you are doing is laying on the couch watching a movie or playing a game you might not need this. But if you want it to act as a computer monitor, or you want to position the screen up above your computer monitor or tv, it's critical! If you want to walk on a treadmill, it's critical. When you turn on anchor mode the screen just stays where it is. You can look around and the screen is still where you set it. Note: If you move forward or back it will also move forward or back. I believe for that to stay still you need 6dof. You also can turn on anchor mode with any input source: any android app, dex, computer, switch. If it's on the screen you can turn on 3dof. Side view. The three modes are follow, anchor (3fdof), and side view. In side view mode the screen goes up into the right corner. You can select which corner you want and the size of the screen! In this mode you could be doing the dishes or asleep in your Tesla (just kidding). If you are doing other tasks you will need a decently lit room because the lightest of the dimming is still not totally clear. It's like wearing very lightly tinted sunglasses. Menu options. This thing has menu options for everything, not just brightness and volume. You can set the size of the screen, the distance to the screen. Ultra wide view mode, makes it like a large curved monitor. 3d mode was interesting. You start a movie and turn on 3d mode and it magically makes it 3d. You may need a few extra accessories, which I've included pictures of. - Usbc charging adapter. This allows you to charge your phone while using the glasses. It is also required in order to use it with a Nintendo Switch. - HDMI to Usbc adapter. Be careful with this one. It has to support DP Alt Mode and then the first one I tried didn't work. This allows you to use the headset with devices that only output HDMI like a computer or PS4. - Extension cable. Depending on how close your items are, the included 3 foot cable might not be enough. Make sure to get one that supports 60hz video. Not all usbc cables do. I had some issues and questions and the Xreal support department was amazing. They are on China time so depending on your time zone it might be +1 day before you get a response. So far I give their support department a 10 out of 10. Here is a comparison to the Viture Pros that I tried out and returned. Viture Pro Pros: - I like the fit of them on my face a little better, especially the nose pieces - The myopia adjustments so I don't have to put in my contacts were awesome Viture Pro Cons: - 3dof is a total joke on these. You have to use a Spacewalker app and then you are limited to only websites. It also doesn't do it's job and stay it place. It constantly drifts. - Side view mode only works with the Spacewalker app. Can't pin your android apps. - Zero settings. All these fabulous settings in the Xreal 1s aren't there on the Viture. You can do things like brightness and volume. - Dimming. There are two levels of dimming where the Xreal has three levels of dimming. - Text crispness. If you want to use these for work where you need to read text clearly, forget it. Text is so much crisper on the Xreal. - Magnet usb cable. It sounds neat that the usb cable just snaps on with a magnet. In use it falls off way too easy. Also a replacement cable is $50! Seems better to stick with standard usbc.

I'd give it a 3.5 but here I am with a 4. So I bought these mostly on a whim. I'm a bit of an enthusiast in the tech space and definitely wanted to give these a try and I had a variety of uses I thought I could get away with. First, I do want to say they generally do what they say they do. Pleased with the ease of use. I realistically had the use-case backward, where they're mainly designed as a screen that you can get a little bit of your surroundings with instead of a convenient screen you can have on the side while you go about your day. My pros: No built-in camera is nice. I want to wear these in the office and cameras are a hard sell around other people. I don't have a use for 6-dof currently, so no built-in camera is a plus for me. Note: I suppose you cannot be a passenger in a car with 3-dof. You may need to stick with 0-dof or get the camera (The Eye) for 6-dof. They do what they say they do, which is display an image in space. I've managed a decent amount of use over the past two weeks with my phone, work laptop, and MacBook. Clarity - I was worried about the screen being 1200p, but it's honestly been pretty fine. My cons: Lots of visual clutter. The frame, tinted lens, and inside lens make your world visuals pretty muddy and tight. 52 degrees FOV feels like a restriction on your surroundings as well. I was much more excited to do things while consuming content before I realized how difficult it is to see through them. It's not impossible, but it's a bit rough. I've gotten used to it a bit. Paired with above, they're much too dim. The electrochromic film only has 3 settings, and I think the clearest one is still too dark if I want to be having conversations with people or experiencing my environment while using the glasses. Drift - they drift, quite a bit. I'm on the latest firmware and it's... a lot. According to reviews, no XR glasses are immune currently. I think mine jump around quite a bit though. Someone online suggested swapping out the original cable, but I have yet to procure a cable that would suffice. But, otherwise, like I said, they get the job done. If you have a Steam Deck or a laptop and you just want to display a screen, this is, I believe, the cheapest competitive option that will get you what you want.

This is by far the best pair of AR glasses I've ever owned. Over the past few years, I've tried a wide range of AR glasses and ended up returning most of them. The only pair I kept was my old Xreal Air 2. Compared to the competition, the Xreal glasses offered better audio, stunning display quality, and a much more comfortable fit thanks to their adjustable design. After upgrading to the new 1S, I was pleasantly surprised by how many new features they added. I'm still discovering and experimenting with them, and the glasses are noticeably lighter than the Air 2 as well. I primarily pair them with my Steam Deck while traveling, working remotely, or simply relaxing in bed and watching something before sleep. The large virtual display makes gaming and media consumption incredibly enjoyable without carrying around a portable monitor. If you're looking for a portable monitor experience on the go, these are the AR glasses I'd recommend without hesitation. In fact I just convinced a friend to buy one the other day. I simply let him try the glasses for a few times and he just straight bought a pair that night lol

This is just an early review as I just received them. Pros: Feel Solid, and no creaking that I noticed. Video quality. Better than expected as reviews had this as average but, IMO, it looks great. The 3D works great. Plugging into Samsung Galaxy Tab and Phone prompted to switch to DeX, so no need for me to do manually. Gets bright. I know it doesn't get as bright as others, but haven't had to go above 75% yet. Biggest one...No need for extra software to get functionality. Neutral: The programable shortcuts. Work with caveats. Hard plug vs magnetic - I like this type of connection, but understand if others prefer magnetic. Cons: The shortcuts. Some items I programmed to the shortcuts don't work correctly. Might work once, and then the next time you will choose and it will not do its action and disconnect needing an unplug and plug back in. Transparency programmed there also did not work for me but quick to access anyway. Also, some items you might like to add to shortcuts are not an option. Quicker options for screen size would be nice unless I am just missing it. Xreal Neo not available yet. Can't preorder any longer for the cheaper price. It was very easy to setup and get working. Updated firmware from Mac and then connected to 3 devices. Phone, Tablet, and Switch 2 (did not work, but was expected). I will change my review if I have issues, but very pleased so far with my purchase. Waiting for my next trip to enjoy these on the plane. Hoping to avoid neck pain from looking down at my screen.

The sharpness, the resolution, and the size of the display are great, and I think the tech is quite mature that I feel comfortable using it. I got this so I can do some productivity work with better postures, and I'm glad to say this product helped greatly. It's quite amazing what tech we can fit into a small device these days. Tech wise I think it meets what I'm looking for. Would be great if resolution is higher. And I do notice there are some weird effects on the display that look a bit like moire effect. Not sure if that will be improved in the future via firmware update, or could it be hardware limitation. My rant about this product for the manufacture. The major down sides of this product are OOBE and comfort. OOBE: This product requires quite a bit of configuration at first to reach a comfort viewing level. The fact that there is no out of box experience, i.e. set up software or wizard, at this price point was rather mind blowing to me. The instruction was just a video that goes through the menu... A proper setup is to walk the user through everything that might affect their experience and try to help optimize the product before they start using. I had to go on reddit to see how other configure their glasses to get mine set up. Big L for a product that cost 450 bucks. You have good tech, so help the user experience it at its fullest. Comfort: Maybe the product team spent all their budget on the tech instead of the comfort. The nose pad placement and material is horrendous. There's no official support or accessory that tries to help improve the comfort either. Literally the first recommendation I see on reddit about this product is to ditch the out of the box nose pad for some third party nose pad. I wouldn't mind at all if this product were 50 or 100 dollars more, and it comes with actually good nose pad or comfort related accessories because then I wouldn't need to spend time to research and test which third party nose pad and accessories works best for this glasses. Another thing I can't quite get is the wayfarer look. All xr/ar glasses these days seem to use the wayfarer look, which is actually terrible for xr glasses' functionality. I get that they're trying to make this thing look fashionable and familiar to public, so people can accept it better, but it's just such a terrible form factor for xr glasses because it doesn't cover or filter any light from the side. This glass is borderline usable under bright environment. There are glares and reflections all over the place. The common solution is to get the TPU cover, which adds too much weight to the glasses, making things even more uncomfortable. However, this is something that can be solved by the manufacture. Just don't make a wayfarer form factor. Make something that make sense and can limit reflection from the side of the glasses. I don't think the product team will see this, but if you do, please do something about these.

Let's start with a bit of background. My only experience with VR was a HP 4k VR headset that I used for flight simulator. I thought the field was great, very immersive but...the device would get hot, heavy, and the area with clear vision was very narrow. Impossible to use for more than an hour Fast forward to 2026... I had been looking at VR glasses for a while, because of the form factor. Like many, I read a lot of reviews and post on Reddit, which all seem to be very biased and some reviews look plainly fake. You want the truth? from a newbie? here you go: The device is well packaged. The glasses feel qualitative. to me the most striking point was the lack of setup. There is no app, nothing to download, I just plugged it in my iPad and it worked (iPad m4). How does it fit? well, I think I have a pretty normal head, no adjustment were needed. The frame nose pads and temple fit just fine. The frame doesnt feel too heavy, I stayed comfortable for about 2 hours. (didnt try more). I didnt even have to adjust my pupillary distance. How is the image quality? This is were there is some subjectivity. The screen is optically placed at infinity, it means that it you need glasses for far you will need correction with the Xreal glasses. Like in real life, if you decide not to use your glasses it will be from a little bit blurry to unusable depending on your prescription. I have -1.00 in one eye, I could absolutely use them without prescription but text would be hard to read. Absolutely ok to watch a movie. I ended up wearing contact lenses for my first trial of those glasses. When you first put the glasses on, there is a on screen tutorial that is very straightforward. I got confused with the button a few times but after 10 minutes I was fine. The screen quality feels like 1080p resolution +. It doesnt strike me as bad resolution or poor resolution and Im used to high quality screens at my desk. The resolution is good on 90% of the screen. In a way than you can move your eyes to look at things and it doesnt get blurry. There is a bit of blur on the extreme edges of the screen. The colors are perfectly rendered, natural, not washed out and not overly saturated. The brightness is more than enough for a normal room light and of course very bright in the dark. Then there is the field of view, or "how big the screen is". I've read many posts about it and nothing made sense. So here my experience, overall, I would say that if feels much closer to a theater than any TV screen. When superimposed to my 70 inch TV I would say I have about 4 times that surface. I do believe the claim of 200" screen I think the field of view covers a normal horizontal visual field, meaning that if the screen was wider I would have to turn my head. There is an extended mode that makes the screen taller. It is more immersive BUT the subtitles at the bottom are slightly blurry forcing me to turn my head down, to get clarity (moving the subtitles toward the center) In normal mode, the subtitles are very legible. The 3D mode kinda works. It gives some sense of try-dimensional image, it feels a hint tiring on the eyes. I can see myself using it for certain movies or documentaries. I also think there is a loss of frame rate when 3D is on. B- For movies I say it's A+ I also tried to read media, like webpages and newspaper, it's more than legible, it's very good. A- Would I work on an excel spreadsheet all day? probably not. Would I read a website on a plane, absolutely. The anchoring functions is perfect. The screen doesnt move, there is no lag, no jitter the screen is stable in position. There is no input lag either. When you scroll on iPad, it scrolls immediately. No delay no jitter. Does it get hot? Not that much. Nothing that bothered me. I did notice a faster battery drain on my iPad while using the Xreal vs the iPad screen. That may be one of the product limitation you cannot connect to a source and charge at the same time (I think there is an accessory to do that) I can only imagine how cool this would be to play FPS or flying a drone. Overall I'm super impressed with the engineering and the quality at that price point. I'm even wondering why someone would go through the complexities of installing a video projector. This comes very close, cheaper and easier.

Even though there are several innate features packed into the XREAL 1S, like tweaking any 2D video to look more 3D with the press of a button, the main thing people want is good image quality and a product that's easy to use. And yes, the XREAL 1S delivers on those without too many horrible surprises. [WHAT ARE YOU BUYING?] It's important to understand, the illusion that's being sold to you here is that you're viewing a gigantic 500+ inch screen from 10 meters away. The FOV only lets you see so much of that screen at once though. For some the perceived effect is more like a 1200p 27 inch screen at 1 meter. With this in mind, you really have to try them on to decide if you're okay with that for the price. If you aren't sold on the illusion, you're not going to like any AR glasses in general. The glasses do let you adjust the size and perceived distance of the projected screen, you can even use ultrawide aspect ratios even if the host device doesn't have them. You can also lock the screen in space (3 DOF) or have it smoothly follow your eyes. You can do all this by tweaking the on-board Settings, no need for the super buggy Spacewlker app. I'm being reductive when I say this, but AR glasses like the 1S are like an external monitor, powered by the device they plug into. Whether you use a tablet, smartphone or laptop, the device must have a feature called DP Alt Mode (Displayport over USB-C) to send video/audio to the glasses. The cable must also be able to send video/audio signals, so pay attention to that if buying an extension cable. Assuming your device is compatible, that's all you need to use these glasses. [FIT AND LENSES] The 3 different nose pads sizes can be swapped out, they also move the glasses a little closer/farther from your face, which can impact visual clarity. The glasses can tilt at the arms to adjust how the glasses rest on your nose, and impact how centered the projected screen looks. The tips of the arms are flexible for comfort and flexing around your skull. ***ATTENTION*** These glasses have IPD (pupil distance) adjustment in the Settings Menu, however they DON'T have diopter adjustments, which may be a dealbreaker for you. If you use prescription glasses, you will have to order custom lenses to mount in there. I will say though, depending on how thick your glasses are you actually CAN wear these XR glasses over your prescription glasses. It's going to be uncomfortable after a while though, some kind of headstrap would really help here to keep them in place and take pressure off your nose. I am writing this review with this setup, and while it's not ideal to look like a mad scientist with tape on their face, it does mostly work. If you can't use your prescription lenses, unfortunately everything will look like a blurry mess until you order custom ones from XREAL. [VIEWING DISTANCE AND SCREEN SIZE] Using a very close viewing distance is like putting your face up to a computer monitor, the screen looks bigger but you can also start to see the screen's pixels. Using the farthest viewing distance of 10m and the largest screen size that will fit in your field of view is probably good for TV/movies, since it's like a kind of natural anti-alias. If you're working with multiple text windows, you might prefer to use one of the glasses' ultrawide aspect ratios to have more screen space, and maybe a closer viewing distance if it helps make the text crisper for you. The available Screen Sizes and Viewing Distances vary depending on the aspect ratio. For some reason you can't change the Viewing Distance if using an Ultrawide Mode, for example. Thankfully, so far I've found a combination of these settings that works with any situation I've run into. Pro Tip: If using the XREAL 1S with a Windows laptop, the 16:18 Ultrawide Mode is like a "Portrait" mode, it makes the screen tall like a vertical tablet, keeping the Taskbar at the bottom. This can be useful for reading comics, you can lock the screen in place and look up/down naturally as if you were holding a tablet. (Using "Portrait" option in Windows itself rotates the screen 90 degrees instead, so the 16:18 option on the glasses is the way to go.) [BUGS, ERRORS AND EGGPLANTS] Much like a VITURE pair of XR glasses I tried before, the XREAL 1S has its own random annoyances that may put a damper on whatever you intended to use them for. -During the tutorial, the calibration screen instructions stayed on screen and could not advance. The XR glasses kept functioning, but the overlayed tutorial screen itself wouldn't go away. -When connecting to a laptop, the glasses will sometimes display the error message "video is not supported by the device", even if it is supported. The same error message appears if you connect the glasses to a device that isn't compatible, so for whatever reason sometimes either the glasses or the device won't feel like cooperating. -The glasses can spazz out when changing aspect ratios or 3D modes if you're simultaneously using another monitor. Sometimes the laptop and glasses will get stuck in a loop of trying to figure out what screen is being used and what's going on. -Some of these can be "fixed" by unplugging and restarting the glasses. There's nothing else we can do on our end, it's up to XREAL to fix these things permanently. -Some stuff can't be fixed, like HDCP errors. For example, I have the glasses connected to my Alienware x16 R2 Windows laptop with the provided USB-C cable (DP Alt Mode). If I watch Amazon Prime Video through Firefox browser, I get a HDCP error that forces all video to play in 1080p, no higher. Unfortunately I don't have any phones or tablets compatible with the required DP Alt Mode. -I got the same issue when using some of VITURE's XR glasses and HDMI, plus I couldn't watch anything via a Roku Stick even with the external dock they sell. You may need an HDMI splitter/stripper to bypass that restriction on official/legit streaming services. [DO YOU REALLY NEED AR GLASSES?] I think the XR glasses are a useful gadget, and if you have the cash go ahead and try them. They have most of the on-board functionality I want without needing a buggy app like Spacewalker. If you download all your media and play it natively on your device you can dodge HDCP errors. These glasses are probably the most user friendly out right now. +I played the Toxic Commando Demo on Steam with them and had no issues, even the filthiest media you can imagine comes through crystal clear. +The audio is good, though it sounds like it's coming from near the center of your head. Playing Toxic Commando I could still tell where stuff was coming from based on audio cues though. +I tried the REAL 3D feature, and while it's not a dramatic effect I like it enough that I turn it on every chance I get just to see how much more I can make the Steam Lady pop off the screen and into my lap. +The glasses can also be used to play 3D video (Half SBS and Full SBS), and it worked fine with the laptop and VLC Media Player. +I'm not sure if the XREAL 1S glasses can display VR content, or if that requires the optional XREAL EYE camera. To take photos or record video or enable 6 DOF you definitely need it. Fortunately the glasses have innate 3 DOF, which is all I needed for my purposes. +The screen can be anchored off to the left or right, so you can jog or solder electronics and watch a vid safely. +I like the programmable Quick Action Button, 3 actions can be assigned to it to avoid digging in the settings for them. +It's also cool that you can blackout the lenses or make them transparent as needed. Leave the black protective sticker on them forever if you want them blacked out permanently. I can find excuses to like them, but the lack of diopter adjustment can be the dealbreaker, there's no point in getting XR glasses if you can't see anything, or at least be untethered from your brick of a laptop. Be sure to look into the prescripton lenses before buying these, and maybe grab a cheap compatible smartphone with a big battery to use exclusively with the glasses. The XREAL Beam Pro is another option if you need a dedicated device, but that's another $200-$300, plus $150 if you need prescription lenses, and another $100 if you want 6 DOF. That's a huge added expense just to be able to read comics in bed and stick your finger in Wolverine's ear lol

I was a bit skeptical of buying these as I had previously tried Meta/Oculus Quest 2 and found the text resolution to be insufficient for any work use. However most reviewers noted that the 1S in particular had fairly sharp text. I am please to say that I find that to be the case as well. I am currently using them to work as a software developer. I generally am using the wide screen mode with 3 documents up simultaneously, Even the speakers and mic are very acceptable for MS Teams calls. I really appreciate having a widescreen setup on the go as it was the one thing that prevented me from working for longer duration in more places. I now find working on my patio much more enjoyable and even work at the park occasionally.
