Xreal One

I've been using the Xreal One Pro display glasses since July last year. No more physical monitor display for me. They do feel a bit warm when the ambient temperature is over 25 degrees but overall very happy.

I've been using the XReal One Pros for coding work for a few months now, and have had a great experience. For me, the ergonomic benefits are the selling point, not the display quality. Not having to sit hunched over a laptop screen for several hours means I can work almost anywhere. [...] On the topic of display quality, it's important to use Better display to upscale the output to the XReals to high DPI - that gives noticeably better quality when it's downscaled to the (lower) native resolution of the XReals.

[...] I also knew state of the art in LLMs was picking up so I was willing to overlook how bad Siri is. Flash forward to today: - Siri is still a pile of garbage - It only recognizes my voice despite my wife having an iPhone and being part of the household - Sometimes doesnt save the timer - Only recently did it get Spotify integration through my phone - Still cant give it multiple items to add to a list at once ----- Google Home ------ Started strong then got progressively worse with each update until it could no longer do basic tasks like timers + reminders ----- GoPro Hero ----- Housing failed on my first use and they refused to honor the warranty. [...] But I wanted to use it for a virtual monitor and all the software was terribly buggy. ------------ Worth stating my favourite purchases in the last little while that make me happy every time I use them. - XREAL One Pro (Amazing for a virtual display) - Kindle - Apple Watch (Perfect for waking me up but not my wife) - iPad Air (Second display + drawing) - Macbook Pro M4 14' (A portable beast) - Moccamaster (Simple machine, great coffee) - Toyota Tundra 2010 (Likely will run longer than I live and theres no touch screen in sight) - Yeti mug (hot drinks all day) - Hydroflask (cold water all day) - Timbuk 2 Parker (Best daily use + light travel bag Ive had in awhile)

I've been doing this a few months now with an xreal one and minisforum um790. [...] It's worked very well, the 1920x1080 resoultion of the glasses is pretty clear but I find "anchoring" the screen to be most usable because the edges do get a little blurry, but with the screen anchored you can just "look around" a little to bring them into focus. [...] I'm just used to everything being a little smaller and being able to fit more info into my FoV vs having to look around a "larger" screen for it.

[...] But it was too bulky and too pricy. Subsequently, I've tried a pair of Xreal One. [...]

[...] I've a pair of Nreal Air glasses (before the rebrand) and a pair of Xreal Ones. I have found the latter remarkably comfortable and sharp enough for coding, reading text, playing games, etc. [...]

[...] Xreal One glasses anchor the screen (i.e. [...] I've been able to use them for hours comfortably, and have gotten corrective lens inserts to avoid having to use my glasses with them. [...] My aging phone doesn't play as nice as it used to with this mode, but it's a real win having 3 windows arrayed comfortably. [...]

[...] They were lighter than the Xreal ones, generated less heat, and had individual diopter adjustments on each lense. Xreal One however has rock-solid head tracking. It does drift occasionally but it's very tolerable. I returned the Viture Pro and ketp the Xreal one.

[...] So much so that I wish I could just detach the screen (and re-attach it easily). I have the xreal air 1, and have the xreal one's on order, they seem to be the leader in this space with their on-glasses processing for "anchor" mode. [...] And the spouse does not complain about the bright screen. Another advantage is that the muscles around my elbows are a lot less sore, as a laptop really isn't ergonomic to stare down into, unless you build one with a much taller screen [1]. [...]

Fellow Xreal One Pro owner here. [...] (Which is a real bummer because, posture-wise, wearing the glasses puts a lot less strain on my neck than looking at a screen.) That being said, there have been quite a few reports on Reddit lately from people that do use the glasses for coding all day every day. [...]

[...] I bought the cheap alternative: XReal One Pro and… it is kind of as expected. It is a cheap alternative. [...] The optics are not up to it: there are imperfections in the lenses resulting in blurry areas of the screen, very visible as you move your head around. They are great for watching video, make for a fantastic travel accessory, and one can use them for coding in a pinch, but I honestly couldn't find a good reason to, when I have a perfectly good MacBook Pro screen right in front of me. I would definitely pay more for glasses that would allow me to have a better virtual computer display. [...] The main reason why I didn't even consider Apple Vision Pro is because of its humongous size, weight and complexity — I don't want another computer with another (locked down) OS requiring updates and maintenance. [...] This is why XReal glasses are so nice: they are just a display. No battery, no OS, no maintenance. EDIT: Just to clarify, I am very happy with the Xreal One Pro purchase. They provide excellent value. They are light, they are small, I can toss them in a bag to have a private display whenever I need. They are fantastic for travel and overall provide a great value. [...] Just don't expect them to be a better screen than your laptop screen for coding.

Currently working on an Amtrak with XReal One Pro glasses and a ThinkPad bluetooth keyboard from my Macbook Pro that is folded up in the seat pocket. [...] IDEs and web browsing aren't bad either, it's about the equivalent of a single 1080p screen. [...]

[...] I bought them because I travel a lot for work and TVs at hotels are always a mess when it comes to HDMI in. I use them on maybe 1 of 4 flights I’m on (usually on SteamDeck with XR plug-in in Decky), and rarely at the hotels. [...] Maybe it would be more productive if I had a newer iPhone with USB -C or the XReal One glasses. [...] That being said, when I put in the effort, the picture is very nice.

I'm using XReal One glasses, though I suspect something cheaper would serve the purpose just as well. So far, I've used them for writing and video games. I don't normally need glasses (I had intraocular lenses implanted 10yrs ago) and I am still fiddling with settings to avoid blur.

RE: A year later, moved to Fedora about 10 months ago, still very happy with the Xreal One as my main ultrawide "monitor". Saves a lot of space and makes my setup very portable.

[...] My Xreal Ones present themselves as a monitor via DP Alt mode when I plug them into my work laptop, switch to ultrwide mode (32:9 is my fav), and I'm done. To use most VR headsets that are also standalone devices, I would start by fighting with IT on getting some kind of security exception to use the necessary software on my laptop, then get started with streaming/connecting/sharing screens with it. [...]

I'm happy with my XReal one Pro. Wired, dumb, no way to lock me into an ecosystem like when I bought Oculus Quest and then had to deal with Facebook's bullshit Did I mention much cheaper?

I own the Xreal One Pro – they are very good! (I wish their resolution was higher than 1080p but no one else offers anything better, either.)

[...] I just got my first XR glasses, Xreal One Pro, and had your link bookmarked to do something similar. [...]

[...] I think the new xReal One Pro glasses have a better FoV, but probably not enough for me to upgrade at this point. They can do "spatial tracking" where the display stays oriented in the same spot as a floating monitor if you move your head, or "static tracking" where the display is always fully in your FoV regardless of where you move your head. Both options plug in via usb C, and you can use them with anything that can do displayport over usb c (Steam Deck, Macbook, Android Phones, iPhones with an adapter, etc). [...]

Have you tried Xreal One? I heard nothing but good things about them. Although only YouTubers reviewing these are not from the United States, that makes me think Xreal has a different market in the EU.

@mikeelgan.bsky.social @emilyforlini.bsky.social after watching your smart glasses episode I wanted to share that I have been using my XReal One glasses (VR not smart glasses) for awhile now using my iPad Pro and a VM and just started testing using them with my new Flip 7. www.xreal.com/us/one

I've been using the XREAL One Pro AR glasses, and they're hands-down the absolute best in the category right now. It's the future, but is it worth the cost?

I got a second hands on with the XREAL One Pro and XREAL Eye and got to check out the new XREAL Neo passthrough video power bank debuting later this summer.

I bought some of the latest generation of AR glasses on a whim last week (Xreal One) and actually this tech's gotten pretty good in the last 6-12 months!

[...] I’ve been using these Xreal One glasses - like portable monitors, not VR. [...]

I've used a lot of smart display glasses over the years but none have been as effortlessly good as @XREALGlobal Xreal One. 3DoF is enabled by default and works immediately when you plug them into another device. They're the first pair that feels like a proper monitor replacement

I bought the Xreal One, so I'm going to experiment to see how well I can integrate it into my daily use. At the very least, its standalone 3DoF is fantastic.

My pair of XREAL One arrived just before my long flight. [...] It's a wonder to play in a huge (3-dof) world-locked screen with such lightweight glasses. [...]

Pssst! Chummers, you're going to hear & see a lot about the new @xreal-global.bsky.social "Xreal ONE" AR Display glasses 🕶️ in tech media I can say, they live up to the hype! 😎🤘 I've had a pair for a few days, and they're legit Built in 3DoF, resizable image, UltraWide mode for PC/Mac & more ^^

Newer iPhones and the XReal One glasses are just fine and in part with the admittedly mediocre experience of Android devices. [...]

[...] I would totally buy one to pair with my XREAL One glasses. [...] LingLong had a crack with a limited kickstarter run, but they don't seem interested in following up with sustained mass-production.
