I bought these glasses to mainly use in the living room whenever I wanted to game but I didn’t want to pull out a whole monitor to get a bigger screen. For this purpose the glasses are great. They are immersive, there is no delay, it’s basically like a portable OLED monitor in your eyes. You can dim the glasses to see the screen better or you can turn off the dimming which actually makes it possible to walk with the glasses as you can surprisingly see your surroundings pretty well even when the screen is on. I personally prefer to anchor the screen when I’m sitting so that it doesn’t move and then when I’m moving I have it in follow mode. They do get a little warm on the forehead area but nothing too unbearable. The audio is great and if you have the audio low enough, somebody next to you would not be able to even see or hear what you are playing so they are great if you want privacy while playing. If I used the glasses for a few hours then wrote my review I’d probably give it 5 starts but some issues have arisen with more time spent with the glasses. I tried to use other features like the 3D features but the drop in in picture quality and Hz makes me just stick with the default mode. First of all, I believe the 240 hz mode is a joke and falsely advertised. When I bought the glasses I thought the 240 hz mode meant I was going to get 240 hz no compromises as these glasses are much more expensive than the competition. However, there are compromises. For example, it seems 240 hz mode is only available through the dock as the option to enable this mode isn’t shown when using the glasses by themselves. The screen also gets slightly blurrier in 240 hz mode so there is a slight resolution drop. It is not too noticeable at first but after extended use I find my eyes getting strained easier due to the constant focusing on blurrier text and details. It makes the 240 hz honestly unusable for me and I’d rather just get a clearer image at 120 hz. I tried to capture the difference between 240 and 120 modes in my photos which really shows that they are not that different in picture quality but in real life after extended use it does become an issue for me and I’d rather just stick with the clearer image. Speaking of eye strain, the glasses do cause me eye strain with extended use so I cannot see myself using these too often which is a shame considering how expensive they are. Another issue with prolonged use is their weight starts to put a lot of pressure on my nose so I end up with a soreness and redness leading to need a break from the glasses. All in all they are a great piece of technology and I am getting what I wanted from them but with the price, features, and issues it’s hard to recommend unless you got money to burn and really need them for your own personal reasons.

The Setup & Comfort Getting the fit right is everything with these glasses. I had to do a little measuring up front, but once I got my IPD (interpupillary distance) locked into that 64-67mm sweet spot, the edge-to-edge clarity really popped. They are lightweight enough for long sessions without digging into the bridge of my nose, though it does take a minute to find that perfect viewing angle. The Gaming Experience This is where the glasses actually shine. I bounce around between PC, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch, and having a massive, crisp virtual screen makes a huge difference—especially for titles that usually feel cramped on a smaller handheld display. The colors are vibrant, text is highly readable, and there's no noticeable lag whether I'm docked or playing handheld. Pros: Massive, sharp virtual display that acts as a portable monitor. Seamless compatibility across my main platforms (Switch, Xbox, PC). Excellent visual clarity once your IPD is properly dialed in. Cons: Takes a little bit of physical adjustment and measuring to find your perfect visual sweet spot initially. [Insert any personal nitpicks here, like battery drain on your device, cables, or audio quality] The Verdict If you want a portable, theater-like experience for your gaming systems, these are incredibly hard to beat. Just take the time to measure your IPD with a ruler and get the fit right before judging the visuals—it’s entirely worth the setup time.

These are high quality glasses. Ive only been able to connect them to my phone and tablet so far. But let me tell you, well worth the money so far. Once you get the interpupilary distance and other settings right these blow a regular tv out of the water. They follow your head or you can anchor the view. Idk, im trying to make this sound as little like an ai review as possible because theyre truly that good.

I've had them all, and this is one of the best. Can't wait to get the x twenty to add to it

The Xreal R1 glasses provide a form factor and experience that a traditional monitor or tv will not parallel. Will it replace your OLED monitor or TV? No, but it does open up a lot of new use cases—some of which are more comfortable, convenient, and/or unique. At my desk, I have a gaming pc, Switch 2, Xbox Series X, PS5 pro. I find myself enjoying the glasses as a neat alternative. If I’m in the mood for a gigantic screen or consuming 3D media, the glasses go on. It is a different type of immersion. This device really shines with the ROG Xbox Ally X. The portability, either around your house or out and about, is a really nice and versatile experience. The 240 hz mode gives benefit even when your devices are pushing lower frames—the existing frame stays on the screen for less time, yielding higher smoothness. Let me be clear—this will not give you additional frames but it will increase the perceived smoothness and responsiveness of what you are playing. On some games it feels drastic but on others minimal. The resolution is reduced(I would say around 20% from my perception). If you have a ROG ally X, this is a good purchase. In terms of comfort, I was initially going to put a lower score because it became uncomfortable after about 20 minutes at the bridge of my nose. I switched to the larger provided nose pads(increase surface area to decrease pinpoint pressure) and changed the arm orientation(there are 3 angles for the arms). This largely resolved discomfort. As far as heat, you can feel an increase in the center of the glasses. It feels a few degrees warmer, but it does not feel bothersome to me. The 3D experience is somewhere between fair to good, with the needle being closer to fair. The glasses support “Instant 3D.” The other modes do not work on my gaming devices. The Instand 3D has 4 modes. The soft/natural modes do pretty good. The upper two modes have a fair amount of instability. Frame rate for 3D is capped at 30 hz. An update for 60 hz will eventually release for these glasses once ready, which should be an appreciable improvement to already passable 3D. The ROG dock is pretty small, and you could travel with it and a console in a carry bag. I do think the ROG + R1 combo makes more sense, however. The Xreal R1 glasses are a nice addition to your setup and portability needs. I maintain the 5 star review because of what it intends to offer. It is not a one stop shop display. However, if you’re looking for a versatile and unique experience, these are a great purchase.

Been using these with my ROG Ally for a bit now and they've genuinely changed how I game on the go. The 171" virtual display is massive without feeling gimmicky — text is sharp, colors are vivid, and the FHD resolution holds up even during fast-paced scenes. The 240Hz refresh rate and 0.01ms response time make a real difference — motion feels fluid and I haven't noticed any ghosting or blur during quick camera pans or fast-twitch gameplay. It's a big upgrade from just using the Ally's built-in screen. Comfort-wise, they're lighter than I expected and the standard IPD range fit me well right out of the box — no adjustment headaches. Plugging in is simple, no pairing or setup drama, just plug and play with the Ally. Great for travel too — instead of hauling a monitor, I just throw these in my bag and I've got a huge screen anywhere. Really happy with this purchase so far.

So far this AR Glasses has been serving me very well. It’s lightweight and easy to plug and play with my devices. I have the dock installed onto my 5090 and it’s made my gaming even better during late night sessions. With all of my monitors turned off and using this AR as the primary, I have not had any issues in terms of comfort. I would recommend this if you have tried others similar to it and you know what your getting yourself into. Comparing this with Apple Vision Pro is not the best advice. Obviously it’s got its limit. Just like the Vision Pro. Try the device on first before you buy. You might have a big dome of a head and this can get comfortable.

Granted it's pricey. But the features present on this tech is worth it. Pros: 1. Customization: you can change the specs angle by adjusting the temple (3 levels). The game changer was the screen distance which went all the way upto 5 meters away (plus we can also adjust the screen size from those distances). 2. Sound quality: was surprised by this but the sound quality is decent (still would recommend earphones or headsets for more immersive experience). 3. Platform compatibility: The glasses worked great for my ecosystem (windows laptop, android phone and tablet). Cons: 1. Dock: granted it makes sense that all the tech for supporting 240hz needs some space. It felt a little annoying that most of the settings can only be accessible through the dock. Plus the Asus DisplayWidget application was pretty buggy and the application didn't have all of the dock's setting. 2. Heat: honestly wasn't much bothered by this but it does get a lil hot on the back of the bridge but was still able to play, watch movies without any issues on prolonged usage. 3. No KVM switch support: it sadly couldn't support connection to my KVM switch as I use two systems (so right now I just hookup its dedicated dock to my gaming laptop). Overall I was happy with the product. Just make sure you bye lens prior (sadly sold separately on Xreal's website) as I wear prescription glasses and couldn't see clearly at the beginning.

i was waiting for these since their announcement. i always wanted a pair of AR glasses and im happy these were it. you can pretty much connect these to anything. phone , pc , ps5, switch , etc. i even connected these to my DJI drone and was able to see the live feed thru the glasses. comes with its own hub which is great. it will cause eye strain first time use but youll get used to it over time. it feels like you can lay back on a couch or bed and throw a huge screen wherever you want to. only get these if you have spare 1000$ you can flush down the toilet. youll be constantly looking for reasons to use this.

Okay these are ridiculous in the best way. Playing on a giant 171-inch screen strapped to your face never gets old. The picture is super crisp, colors pop, and the 240Hz feels crazy smooth when your PC can push it. They're light too, so I can wear them for hours without my face hurting. And the auto-dimming lenses are a cool little touch. Heads up though: update the firmware first thing or you'll run into some bugs and the 240Hz mode won't even show up. Also yeah… $849 is a lot. Not gonna pretend it isn't. Movies could be a touch brighter too. But for gaming? These are the best I've used. No regrets.

Overall Impression This is hands down the best money I've invested in a product. I cannot express how truly great these glasses are. Compatibility and Setup The glasses work with literally everything thanks to the included dock. Which has 2 HDMI ports a Display port and 2 USB C ports, I've successfully used them with Xbox, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, ROG Ally, and even the Wii. Setup is incredibly simple — it's true plug-and-play with no fuss. For Xbox specifically, when you plug the HDMI into the dock, it acts as an HDMI port for a TV, so you get full Xbox audio output. The built-in microphone on the glasses doesn't work in this setup (as expected), but you can just use your favorite Xbox headphones and you're good to go. Audio Experience The sound quality is excellent for open-ear speakers. At higher volumes, others around you can hear what you're listening to, but that's completely expected with this design. Visual Quality The screen is crisp with awesome Micro OLED panels which have great color and very dark black tones and a high refresh rate that makes gaming feel fantastic. One of the most mind-blowing features is the ability to convert anything you're looking at into 3D including console games!! the results are incredible. Key Features Screen Modes: There are three excellent modes: Follow Mode — The screen tracks your head movement to stay centered in your view. Anchored Mode — The screen stays fixed in one position in your vision. Side View — Displays a smaller screen in the top right or left corner so you can still see the world in front of you. Automatic Dimming Lenses: When the screen is anchored and you look away, the lenses instantly become transparent. When you look back at the screen, they automatically dim to black out the background. Comfort and Customization Comes with three different nose pieces for small, medium, and large noses. PPD adjustment is fully possible through both the glasses software and the dock. Prescription lenses are available directly from the Xreal website. This product has exceeded every expectation I had. Highly recommended!

I did a lot of research before buying these as they meet several needs of mine: 1. Immersive gaming or movies on a massive screen anywhere. 2. 1080p OLED for older gen consoles without an upscaler. 3. Low latency monitor like performance. 4. Unparallelled stereoscopic 3D support for movies and games. These AR glasses fit my needs so well I made a giant splurge and bought two pairs for gaming with a friend or watching movies with my wife in my game room. The perspective and screen size adjustments on these are insane. Some of the reviewers on YouTube did not spend enough time with them and comparing screen distance and size. I can get it so small it looks like a 42" TV a few feet away from my face and so big it looks like a 300" screen (or bigger) in a commercial movie theater. They say 171" screen on the marketing but that is just the default setting. It can go much, much bigger than that. Depending on the distance and size setting it truly looks like an IMAX screen in front of me at a very far distance. The dock brings a lot of versatility to connect anything with an HDMI input. Being 1080p micro OLED displays mean they fit incredibly well with blu-ray movies or consoles like the Xbox 360 or PS3. I know most people want 4K, but I appreciate the decreased resource demand of a lower resolution with the benefits of OLED without upscaling. I love the anchor mode where you can fix the screen anywhere in your room at the push of a button and it really stays there. That helps a lot with the practical use and reducing any chance of dizziness or disorientation. However, my biggest (WOW) moment was the 3D performance. Since the glasses use a separate display for each eye, any native 3D content like 3D blu-rays or select games from around 2010 - 2014 with stereoscopic 3D support can be seen like never before. That comes from the OLED displays showing the two different views simultaneously to each eye. No dimming or brightness hit from active 3D glasses or TV refresh limitations and no crosstalk. It is how 3D was meant to be seen! Some might not like 3D, but I enjoy it and can't wait to try more 3D movies and games with it. The instant 3D feature for regular 2d content is cool to try, but I would say it is mostly experimental at this point as it does add input lag and is only 30fps. As the technology matures, I can see these becoming very common in the gaming community and for enjoying movies in smaller environments. If you have the cash and want something that will bring immersive gaming to any device or location I highly recommend buying these.

I really like these glasses. The build quality is solid. The picture quality is pretty great for xr glasses. The dock allows me to play on other consoles While letting my partner watch TV. The sound quality is ok, But I tend to use headphones anyway. One thing I don't like is that it is packaged with a dock making the entire purchase a little bit more expensive than it needs to be. I would have definitely liked the opportunity to purchase the dock separately And I probably would have. That said, I get a lot of use out of these Pairing it with a Samsung phone. I can use Samsung Pairing it with a Samsung phone. I can use Samsung Dex without another monitor without another monitor. And it's also good to just watch TV Or movies while laying in a comfortable position.

I bought these because i travel for work and i own the ally x. Ill tell you what these are insane. It may take a minute to learn the controls but its super easy. I absolutely love them and with the OLED screen inside them it just comes together perfectly

I don't think I can go back to a regular monitor setup. I've been using these for about 8 to 10 hours a day and I'm blown away not only with the quality but the convenience. When I had purchased the rog glasses I also set up a triple display and I hardly ever use it just because these are so awesome. For work to have multiple tabs open at the same time. I'll use the monitors if I have to but it says something when I would rather use these than anything else. I highly recommend these. If you wear glasses, definitely get the inserts filled with your prescription, but these are worth it.

I’m extremely happy with the ROG XREAL R1. The setup is very simple, and the glasses are truly plug and play. I’ve used them with my smartphone, laptop, ROG Ally, and other compatible devices, and the experience has been excellent. They are easy to connect, easy to handle, and very convenient for gaming, watching videos, and everyday use. The image quality is impressive, the screen feels huge, and everything works smoothly without complicated setup. I especially like how versatile they are. I can easily switch between my phone, notebook, and ROG Ally depending on what I want to do. The overall build quality also feels premium and well designed. For anyone looking for a portable large-screen experience for gaming, entertainment, or productivity, I highly recommend the ROG XREAL R1. One of the best tech purchases I’ve made recently.

I have been using these for a few weeks now, and they are exactly what I expected. A big plus for me is that there is absolutely no need to download any software to use them. You can change all the settings directly on the glasses, and they don't even need to be charged. The audio is pretty good, and being able to change the display ratio is a huge benefit since I prefer an ultrawide monitor setup for my workflow. Overall, it makes an amazing combo with my ROG Ally X, and the carrying case is much more compact than I expected. One important thing to note: if you wear glasses, it is not comfortable to wear them under the AR glasses. I bought my custom prescription lens inserts directly through the official XREAL webpage to solve this. However, the glasses do come with a non-prescription insert that you can take to your eye doctor to have your own prescription lenses put in. I highly recommend these if you want a true plug-and-play experience!

I find it difficult to reconcile the positive reviews of this product. The glasses are uncomfortable and can get quite hot, which is a dealbreaker when worn on the face. While it's great to create a floating screen for virtually any USB-C device that supports visual output, the downsides outweigh the benefits, especially when compared to my experiences gaming with GeForce Now or Sony PlayStation Premium Plus streaming on the Vision Pro. While it's important to note the significant price difference between the $3,500 device and this one priced at $850, the issues of bulkiness and discomfort are significant drawbacks. I wanted to enjoy using these glasses with my ROG Ally X, but they simply aren't practical for extended wear.

Dear Sascha,
Thank you for your feedback.
We do understand your disappointment with the AR Glasses and the inconvenience this may have caused if it is uncomfortable and can get quite hot. If the AR Glasses feel uncomfortable and hot across the bridge of the noise and center frame, try swapping to the larger nose pads included in the box. This increases the surface area resting on your nose, which helps spread the weight and relieves painful pinch points. Additionally, try adjusting the arms, the temples can be tilted. Experiment with the different angle settings to shift the weight distribution away from your nose. To manage the screen heat, take breaks every 20-30 minutes to let the micro-OLEDs cool down and give your self a rest.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
