The Xreal One Pro are the company’s best AR glasses, touting thin optics that keep out reflections so you can enjoy a crisp, contrast-rich image of whatever content you’re watching. Xreal has permanently cut their price from $649 to $599, making them $150 more than its entry-level (but still good) 1S glasses that debuted shortly after CES 2026. You can find the One Pro in stock at Amazon, Best Buy, and from Xreal itself.

The 1S and One Pro share a well-built design in common, not to mention some identical features. Both have the X1 chip, allowing for three degrees of freedom (3DoF) that lets you anchor your content in virtual space, and both support Real 3D, which applies a surprisingly good 3D effect to 2D content.

Xreal One Pro

The Xreal One Pro project a huge virtual display that feels like a 171-inch screen, using micro-OLED panels, a 57-degree field of view, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by Xreal’s X1 chip, the smart glasses offer low-latency tracking with optional 6DoF spatial anchoring so your screen stays fixed in place. They also feature built-in speakers and work with a wide range of USB-C devices.

Where to Buy:

If you’re tempted by the idea of having a big, private screen to watch movies, TV shows, and video games on, I recently published a piece that compares the One Pro to Xreal’s cheaper 1S, as well as to Viture’s similarly-priced Beast glasses. The One Pro are most similar to the Beast glasses in terms of visual fidelity, but for a multitude of reasons I get into in the piece, there’s no perfect pair of glasses yet. However, it’s nice that Xreal’s best AR glasses just got a little cheaper.
