I've got a Quest 3, Vision Pro, and had a Quest 2 before, so I'm pretty familiar with this kind of tech. I grabbed the XREAL One mainly for travel. The Vision Pro is amazing but lugging that thing onto a plane isn't exactly convenient. Honestly wasn't sure what to expect with these, but I'm actually really impressed. Right off the bat, I need to address the whole productivity thing. You'll see people claiming they can code all day on these or use them as a second monitor, but if you're expecting that, there's a good chance you'll be disappointed. Text has noticeable aliasing and while it's technically usable, it's not something I'd want to do for extended periods. But for watching movies, gaming, YouTube, whatever? They're genuinely fantastic. The 1080p OLED display looks way better than the specs would suggest. The blacks are properly inky and the colors are really vibrant. It's rated at 600 nits but I don't even like using max brightness. The middle setting is perfect for most indoor use, and full brightness in a dark room is honestly too bright, which I guess is good for battery life. Oh, and if you're using it with your phone, you're just mirroring the display, so make sure to turn your phone's brightness down or you'll kill the battery. Pro tip: the default "Vivid" mode actually makes things look worse by crushing the blacks and whites. Switch it to "Natural" mode (you might need to update the firmware first). Much better contrast and the colors still look great. The field of view isn't huge but it's plenty big enough to feel like you're watching on a massive screen. There are three display modes and I like the one where the screen follows your head so it's always centered, but you can lock it in place or do a picture-in-picture thing too. The tracking is really smooth and feels natural even though it's only tracking rotation. The transparency levels are actually really handy. You can adjust how much you see through the lenses, and there's this cool feature where if you're in fixed mode and look away from the screen, it automatically cranks the transparency up so you can see what's around you. Pretty clever for staying aware of your surroundings. The controls are all on the right wing of the glasses, four buttons that are customizable. You'll get the hang of them pretty quickly and it's nice being able to adjust settings without needing to mess with your phone or device. XREAL calls these "XR" glasses but they're really not in the same category as the Quest 3 or Vision Pro. This isn't VR, there's no hand tracking, no apps, no virtual environments. I guess "XR" is just a marketing term because we don't really have a good name for what these actually are, which is just a really great display in glasses form. And honestly? That's completely fine. If you don't care about VR and just want an incredible portable screen for watching content, these are amazing value for money. Compared to my other headsets? At home for a proper movie experience, I'd go with the Vision Pro. But for just chilling and watching stuff, I'd honestly pick these over the Quest 3. Yeah the resolution is a bit lower but the OLED quality, those blacks, the colors, and how much lighter these are makes up for it. And for travel? No contest, these are perfect. Way more compact and practical than either the Quest or Vision Pro. The audio is okay, nothing special. I'd just use your own earphones. Only thing that bugs me is I wish there was a way to turn off your device's screen automatically when you start watching something, but that's more on the phone/device side than the glasses. I'd give these a 9.5/10, would be a perfect 10 with that screen-off feature. They're pretty much perfect for travel and watching stuff, and if you don't need VR features, they're incredible value compared to the alternatives.

I have now had the Xreal One’s and hub for over 6 months so now I can give an honest review. I travel a lot with work and spend so much time sitting in airports, on airplanes and in hotels. These glasses have been a god send in all honesty. I can watch movies from my phone on what appears to be a cinema size screen right in front of me. When I first used them, I found the image was slightly blurred. After setting up the Pupillary Distance (PD) this was a little better. In the end I solved the issue by ordering some corrective lenses from a company that was suggested by Xreal. There was a voucher in the box to save some money and they came within a week. The display quality is excellent, once I had purchased the corrective lenses. The three modes are also very useful depending on the situation. When sitting in the airport or couch I use fixed mode. Were the display is locked in position. This allows me to move my head and talk to people. Next we have follow mode, were the screen moves depending where I am looking. This is great for sitting on the airplanes as you do not realise how many little turns the airplane is actually doing. When I first tried them on an airplane in fixed mode… the screen kept wandering off to the side. The follow mode cures this issue. The final mode is docked mode, where the screen is shrunk into a top corner. This is great when I am walking around Tesco’s pushing the trolley for the wife and watching youTube on my phone 😊 The Bose speakers fitted into the arms are also very good. The sounds quality is high when sitting at home, or even in the airport but when on the plane, they are not powerful enough to overcome the background noise. The solution is easy, I switch to my in-ear head phones. I have also tried them with my over-ear headphones but found that these pushed the arms into my head a little so gave me a sore ear. I use the glasses for watching movies on my phone, playing games on my Steamdeck and I have also used them on my Laptop when I had to do some heavy spreadsheet work when in a hotel. The 15’’ laptop screen was a pain trying to navigate the whole spreadsheet, but switch the to glasses and the massive screen allowed me to see all the data I needed to see. Though expensive, especially when you factor in the corrective lenses and hub, I would still highly recommend them. I was going to give them 4 stars due to the sound when in a noisier environment but I am not sure if this can be sorted without using headphones, and it does not distract from them one bit. Another reason I did not dock a star was that I used their customer service when I had an issue with my hub and they dealt with it quickly and efficiently. I had a replacement with 24 hours of reporting the issue.

Amazing glasses with crystal clear view of what you have plugged in, works well with SBS 3D movies and sound, through the Bose speakers is clear and loud enough. If yre looking for an external monitor for your peripherals then you cnt do much better than these

I write this review having come from the old (NReal) XReals Airs or Ones or whatever the original ones were called. I paid £300 for them and TBH this price increase on the new Ones really doesn't warrant it to my mind. Now I am not a picturephile and I understand that it is very hard to find a sweetspot on these lenses and then keep it, as we humans are constantly fidgeting with our heads, or at least I am! And talking of pictures I really can't see any great difference between these and my old ones. Now what really did annoy me was the chromatic dimming. The originals had a great lense shield that clipped on and blocked all light. I was trying to watch something on the new Ones at the beach and the light flooding through was terrible. Bring back the cover or make chromatic dimming completly solid. I do like the new menu system and the 3DOF is a nice feature, but it's still not there yet. Whilst the screen does indeed stay fixed in place, when you move your head away from the screen black bars appear blocking parts or all of the screen depending where your looking away to. For the 3DOF to feel natural the screen needs to remain visible, just like you can see you PC monitor out of the corner of your eye, no black bars wrap around your peripheral vision. I didn't get any joy from the ultrawide mode, again just black bars on the left and right as I looked around. Another annoying niggle is the lenses adapter which I had fitted with my own prescription. The old one doesn't fit the new Ones. :-( The new case is a worse design, now that the protective flap to keep the usb lead in has gone as has the zipper to close. The 3D feature is awful, reduces the image to a quarter of the screen and is hard to find that sweet spot. All in all a good product but over priced, but then so is the world!

The XREAL One AR Glasses are an absolute game-changer and a genuine step forward in wearable technology. Worth every single penny! The visual experience is stunning. The 147" virtual screen and 50° FOV genuinely deliver a desktop-sized display experience right in front of you, with crystal-clear HD resolution running at a super smooth 120Hz. Whether I'm streaming video or working on a compatible device, the clarity and refresh rate are truly top-tier. The included X1 Chip handles everything effortlessly, providing a seamless and native 3 DoF experience. I also appreciate the thoughtful features like the adjustable lens transparency, which allows you to perfectly balance the virtual image with your real-world surroundings. Finally, the compatibility is vast, working flawlessly with everything from the newer iPhones (with the necessary adapter) to the Steam Deck, PC, Mac, and Android. The renowned audio completes the package, making these glasses an easy 5-star recommendation for anyone looking to jump into high-quality augmented reality.

Why did you choose this product over others?: If you have farsightedness, forget about this. The official lens providers don't produce lens for this particular model, so you're out of luck. Imagine looking at a monitor 3m away. If you can't see it with bare eyes, you won't see it in the glasses either. You also can't use your own prescription glasses, as it won't fit. Additionally, the reflections on the glasses are terrible, the field of view is tiny and the sound leakage is awful too. 100% of what you listen to will be heard crystal clear to anyone in the room. Great idea, but bad execution L

I didn't expect to like these AR glasses this much. The ultra-wide view honestly feels like sitting in a mini theater, and I love having that privacy when I'm working on my laptop in public or on the train. It even works perfectly with Samsung DeX from my phone, so I can get a full desktop setup anywhere. What I really like is that I can even wear them like regular sunglasses - they don't make me look like a computer geek or dork in public. Easily one of the coolest and most useful gadgets I've bought lately.

They are amazing for films and games. Text is slightly blurry for some areas of the screen for work, but I don't find that interferes with my productivity. The benefit of having a giant curving widescreen when working away from home, or even at home, more than outweighs the downsides. I really like them.
