The world of smart glasses just got a big upgrade with the release of the Xreal One Pro. These new AR (augmented reality) glasses let you watch movies, play games, or even work on a virtual screen right in front of your eyes—without needing a big monitor or TV.
Let’s dive into what makes the Xreal One Pro special, what you should know before buying, and how to use them properly.
What Are the Xreal One Pro Glasses?
The Xreal One Pro looks like a normal pair of sunglasses, but they’re packed with smart tech. Once you plug them into a compatible device (like your phone, laptop, or gaming console), a large screen appears in front of your eyes—like a personal cinema.
They’re not like virtual reality (VR) headsets that cover your whole face. These are lighter, more stylish, and meant for everyday use like watching videos, working, or playing games on the go.
What’s Great About Them?
Here’s what stands out:
1. Bright, Clear Display
The glasses use Sony’s micro-OLED screens, which show sharp 1080p pictures. The screen is bright, smooth (120Hz), and wide, giving you a huge display that feels like you’re watching a movie on a big TV—even if you’re on a plane or in bed.
2. Good Sound Without Headphones
Built-in speakers deliver clear sound, so you don’t always need to wear earbuds. The sound is strong enough for casual listening, but you can also connect your own Bluetooth headphones if you prefer.
3. Comfortable to Wear
Even though they pack in a lot of tech, these glasses are surprisingly light—just about 87 grams. The adjustable nose pads and smooth design make them comfortable for long use.
4. Reduced Glare
The lenses have a special filter that reduces light reflections, so it’s easier to see what’s on your screen, even in brighter rooms.
5. Optional Head Tracking
If you buy the extra “Eye” accessory, the glasses can track your head movements. This lets the screen stay in place even when you move your head—great for gaming or using virtual screens while working.
A Few Things to Consider
No product is perfect, and the Xreal One Pro has a few downsides:
-
Pricey: At around $599–$649, these glasses aren’t cheap. They're more of a premium product for people serious about AR tech.
-
Needs Another Device: You can’t use them by themselves. You’ll need to connect them to something like a phone or laptop with a USB‑C port.
-
Only 1080p: The screen is high quality, but it doesn’t support 4K.
-
Can Get Warm: After long use, the glasses may feel warm, especially when running high-powered apps or games.
Who Should Buy the Xreal One Pro?
These glasses are perfect for:
-
Travelers: Watch shows or movies on a big screen while flying or staying in hotels.
-
Gamers: Enjoy a more immersive experience without a big screen setup.
-
Remote Workers: Use multiple virtual monitors for work without carrying extra hardware.
-
Tech Fans: If you love the latest gadgets, these glasses offer something really fresh.
If you’re just curious about AR or on a budget, the basic Xreal Air or original One series might be better for you.
How to Use the Xreal One Pro
Using the glasses is simple once you get used to the controls.
1. Plug In and Wear
Plug the glasses into your device with the USB-C cable, put them on, and the screen appears in front of you.
2. Switch Display Modes
You can change how the screen behaves. Double-tap the control button on the frame to switch between modes like:
-
Anchor mode: Keeps the screen fixed in one spot.
-
Follow mode: Makes the screen move with your head.
-
3D mode: Some apps support 3D video playback.
-
Wide or side view: Adjusts the shape and placement of the virtual screen.
3. Adjust Settings
You can change screen size, distance, and IPD (distance between your eyes) for the clearest view.
4. Use Bluetooth for Sound
If you don’t want to use the built-in speakers, connect your wireless headphones through your device's Bluetooth settings.
5. Add the "Eye" for Spatial Features
With the optional Eye camera accessory, you unlock advanced features like spatial tracking—this helps the screen stay in place even as you move around.
The Xreal One Pro is one of the most advanced AR glasses out right now. With a sharp screen, great audio, and a comfortable design, they offer a powerful experience for people who want to take entertainment and productivity to the next level.
They’re not for everyone—especially if you’re on a budget or just getting into smart glasses. But if you want the best display experience and don’t mind paying for it, the One Pro is definitely worth a look.
