XREAL One - The Best Video Display AR Glasses Take A Huge Leap Forward!

[@foeroon]

How is this an "independent content" review if it’s sponsored by the company making the product? It should be obvious to people that this is sponsored, but I’m pretty sure that many don’t even notice. Please make it more obvious in the future.

[@johnosam4681]

he basically mentioned it twice or more T-T it was clear to me when I watched it.

[@FabulousCouple]

I am a faithful Xreal user, since the previous company called Nreal. The review is valid and relevant. It's not like a marketing gimmick or ads. I use Xreal Air 2 for writing essays, using my mac, with the ability to multiple display, usually I use two displays, the first one for writing, and the other for reference, scientific journals. I even give a chrismast present to my nephew who's studying now for bachelor degree. And yes, it's good for entertainment as well, I bring in for travelling, I won't need any TV provided by the hotels. And of course, in airplanes and train in long journeys, I travel once a month by plane, and this glasses serves the purpose of entertainment. For me, it's better than Meta Quest.

[@tasosm7x]

A lot of times the review is sponsored but the opinion is their own

[@tams805]

The most egregious bit is the part about future features. Do not trust XReal on this, nor any of these 'AR' glasses makers.

[@westmcgee9320]

@@johnosam4681I just started the video. He just mumbled “partnered with” them but it sounded more like “parted” with them.

[@eaappell]

When talking about perceived screen size, it's critical to provide how for away the screen is. For example, "120 inches at 10 feet away" (for TV references) or "32:9 ratio screen of 45 inches sitting 24 inches away" (for monitors).

[@carlosdominguez3108]

Exactly. I absolutely can't stand the marketing bs these companies do. You could take your XReals outside, look at a wall across 3 blocks down, and now you have a 100 foot screen.

[@jamesmoss9134]

They do provide this info. The perceived screen size is 147" from 4 meters away.

[@jamesmoss9134]

​@@carlosdominguez3108 that's not what they're doing

[@carlosdominguez3108]

@@jamesmoss9134 It's exactly what they're doing. Notice how none of these videos reference that. They just say it's a 200" screen. So people just imagine that in their minds to mean whatever they want it to mean, then get the glasses and realize it's not even close to that. They're not being honest.

[@madboyreadynow28]

I have RoKid and love them. Can be used with anything and you don't need but the glasses and the USB c cable or a HDMI to USB C cable. They're amazing.

[@tirosc]

As an XREAL Air user, this is only really good for travelling. It's fantastic on airplanes and buses (i use it with my steam deck) and battery life is pretty decent when using this (1.5-2hrs on heavy games, 3hrs+ on emulator games). I once played the whole Pokemon Black in one seating on my flight so the comfort and usability speaks for itself here. Also really good in hotels with my macbook to watch tv shows. But other than these scenarios, it's not great. The 1080p display spread across 100+ virtual inches is horrendous PPI. If you used it as a monitor replacement, you will walk away with headaches if you have to work with text. I like that this version integrates the control into the glasses itself saving bulk but it's still extremely niche and can't replace anything. I would still only use this if i am travelling.

[@guddaboi]

I use mine every night in bed when I want to watch KZbin/shows/movies or game and want a huge private screen instead of a tablet or mobile screen. It is amazing tech imho. But to each their own I guess.

[@mostwanted2000]

They should make it 4k and at least 70 degrees so to not have screendoor effect and to be more immersive

[@watching4410]

I would like to hear others' thoughts on using it in place of a monitor for computer work, typing documents, work, etc.

[@lululemon0424]

Waiting for the One Pro model next year. Hopefully they can push it to the market a bit faster

[@XREAL_Global]

Thanks for hanging in there! The Pro’s cooking-promise it’ll be worth the wait! 🔥😎

[@zergslayer69]

Any rumors on what the pro would have? Otherwise you'll forever be caught in the "wait until next year for a better model"

[@XREAL_Global]

@@zergslayer69 Hey there! You can find out more information about XREAL One Pro, including the entire tech spec sheet, on our website!

[@Marciap17]

I am glad I didn't buy the previous model. This is such a big upgrade. However I'll wait for the pro model. Meanwhile work on the prescription lenses. Possibly do a new eye test before. Thank you Brian. Happy New Year!

[@darkos4962]

I understand that this is an sponsored “review,” but how do they compare to the Viture Pro XR glasses? This upgraded XReal One model appears to match some of the features already offered by the Viture product, which I use. Is there any advantage on switching to these glasses? On the Viture’s I get on-device prescription correction, no accessories needed. Why didn’t they implement that on this new product? What is the maximum supported screen resolution in pixels (width and height) when connecting it to a laptop?

[@Nikketsinne]

Viture rocks. The 2025 model is going to explode everything on the way

[@carlosdominguez3108]

It's unbelievable how ignorant people in the comment section are about VR/AR optics. Resolution DOES NOT MATTER when it comes to these displays, they aren't monitors. Pixels per degree matters (PPD) is what matters. The XReal One has a 50deg horizontal FOV and a PPD of 40. The Apple Vision Pro has a PPD of 35. You cannot discern pixels on the XReal Ones. They're incredibly sharp. Those of you whining about how it's not 4K simply don't understand how this works. 4K screens would provide nearly no benefit but would kill the battery of your device much faster.

[@Gatitasecsii]

Yeah it's the FOV what actually kills these, you can make whatever big virtual screens, but you can never see more than a tiny chunk of them at a time.

[@adrianscarlett]

PPD is a function of resolution/fov. How can resolution not matter?

[@oneanother1]

For vr headset, the screen door appears, that's cause of the lenses zooming into the pixel like a microscope. These glass need more pixels and wider fov for them to be more useful as mix reality.

[@Gatitasecsii]

@@oneanother1 these are not magnified in any way, so you see the micro oled as tiny as they are, no screen door effect whatsoever, I assure you. The problem is the FOV is like 40° so you end up seeing something akin to a 12" tablet at the distance you would use one (so like ~1ft away from your face)

[@oneanother1]

@Gatitasecsii I know that, but for a wider fov you need more pixels. Like the big screen beyond uses a similar display, but due to the wider fov the resolution could be better. These glasses aren't worth it for mix reality applicions, its just made to watch videos and play games on.

[@truecuckoo]

Seems like a great and very practical, no bullshit, no gimmick solution. Going out on a design snob limb here, but I can’t understand why WHY they didn’t make them LOOK like ONE lens, instead of this wonky “small glasses behind big glasses” look. If they solved the design, widening the small prism glasses to match the size of the outwards facing glasses, and packing them into something that looks like one unit, they’d get a 10/10 in design and probably reel me in. Now it still looks like an unfinished and experimental product in development to me.

[@JoshGarris]

Yeah, I really hate that too. I’m assuming it gives the illusion of “thin” with the current design rather than looking bulky if the lenses were all the same size and closing off the space. They’re trying to appear more “ahead” of the game when they don’t need to. They’re already doing something different than others. Just own it.

[@MOBROOKS]

Thanks for this one Tong.

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

I think they have a different batch mine do not say bose audio on them and they are the one and I love them. I want a legion go with no screen give me more power more batteries and I'll be happy

[@watching4410]

Can these be used in place of a monitor? For work?

[@donernesto1756]

Brian, would you please do an extended review on them and tell us how this glasses would work on a Windows gaming PC, on an iPad and most importantly on a Mac Mini (the glasses would be the only monitor for the Mac Mini). I really wonder if that would work. I also would like to know your honest opinion of a comparison of Xreal and Apple Vision Pro. I know that they are different devices but I would like to hear what you have to say about them two. Thank you Brian.

[@Krn7777w]

Waiting for the pro version as it has wider FoV.

[@BrentSmithline]

Thanks for talking about us normals that must wear glasses. Might be something I purchase down the road.

[@itzikca]

I’m so intrigued by those, I’ve had my eyes on them for a while, but im a bit worried about the 50 degree fov

[@Lifeisripe]

The price is what’s stopping me from getting these for 300$ I’ll be all in but 500 😢 is to steep I just got a meta 3s and love how it work but it seems more of something my child would love for vr games and since I’m all in on iPhone and iPad as my productivity platform these glasses are better then Vision Pros because I can’t mirror my iPhone or iPad to a Vision Pro natively. But this 500$ price is the only thing stopping me 😫

[@suyperb]

Do they have a wireless option, or perhaps a USB-C connection that allows you to use it wirelessly, like a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard?

[@jaysons8050]

No such thing exist right now. Otherwise we would've had wireless computer monitors by now. Transmitting keyboard and mouse inputs is not the same as transferring a ton of megabytes of video streaming data per second between the computer/phone to glasses. The only thing I've seen that can do this is a wireless wifi dongle for VR headsets or an app like Virtual Desktop for the Meta Quest to play desktop VR games wirelessly, but both methods need a centralized wifi connection like a home internet wifi modem to work. This wouldn't work well for something like an Xreal glasses since it's meant to be taken on the go and for travel. However, I'm sure Xreal is probably working on a wireless solution for the later future. They seem to be making improvements frequently

The one thing that's concerning is I haven't found a review of this product that hasn't been paid by the company yet, that's concerning. If you have a good product you shouldn't have to pay somebody to review it and say good things about it. So videos like this are basically like a glorified commercial.

[@504cool]

I have the XREAL Air’s from a few years back. They’re great on the go glasses. They’re kind of like the next step of being able to put in Bluetooth headphones when in a long line at the grocery store etc. However in this case it’d be waiting to get your tires changed, hotel visit, train, airport, etc. Personally Mobile Gaming now makes sense to me with these glasses.

[@rsorry]

It’s been like this since these type of glasses came out only sponsored and yet they already had to change their name from nreal to xreal is super skep too.

[@TheiTE]

As someone who purchased the XREAL Airs myself, they are actually a good product. The company does not care about the software unfortunately, but delivers on the product itself. Reviewers do over-exaggerate some things but generally a good buy if you come in with the right expectations of having these as portable monitors rather than AR glasses.

[@504cool]

@@rsorry I bought the Air’s when they were $399. At that price I’m definitely willing to upgrade every now and then when they make updates. I think that model may be even less now. For the price, they were impressive at $399. I’ve definitely got use cases, go to a hotel or Airbnb and no longer have to worry about a tiny tv, bring a good pair of headphones and you’re good. Thinking about it, hell I binge watched Kaiju No. 8 on them while out the country last summer sitting outside enjoying the breeze lol.

[@504cool]

@@TheiTE I’ve been fine with the software updates, but I will say the Beam was a disappointment, I should have sent it back. Had problems finding the right type of cord to update it. I have no problems with the glasses overall though. Might try to update to the One Pro’s when they come out.

[@rayzgaming356]

i hope it can remote display so I don't need to plug it

[@carlosdominguez3108]

@@briantong Nope, not mad. You're just peddling talking points. If you're going to be taken seriously with these reviews of AR glasses, you should be better than the junk marketing. Constructive criticism: What you need to do next time, and from now on, is standardize a distance and state the inch size from there. The typical viewing distance from a TV to couch is 10 ft (~3m). So pick the same spot when you review these, and say it's about an X" screen from that point. That is WAY MORE accurate and gives people a better understanding of the dimensions. Simply saying 200" means absolutely nothing.
