XREAL One Pro

XREAL One Pro is a pair of tethered display glasses: plug them into a USB-C laptop or phone and a 1080p virtual screen floats in front of you, anchored by XREAL's X1 chip with no companion app. It suits travellers and open-plan workers who want a private monitor in a jacket pocket. The one thing to know: it is a floating screen, not an immersive headset.

Is the XREAL One Pro a practical second monitor?

• Sony micro-OLED at 1920×1080 per eye, 57° field of view, up to 120 Hz; PCMag called the field of view record-breaking for this class.
• Works over USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode with iPhone 15 to 17, Android, Mac, Windows and Steam Deck.
• Price reads $649 list; currently $599 on us.shop.xreal.com; prescription lens inserts $159.90 list — XREAL, Sep 2026.
• Glasses wearers need inserts, and reviewers report eye fatigue in long sessions.

Who should skip it

Anyone expecting virtual reality: there is no battery or tracking beyond head anchoring, and Tom's Hardware judged the optional Eye camera fuzzy.

What reviewers say

• PCMag called the 57° optics a "record-breaking field of view" for the category and judged the strong all-round feature set enough to justify the premium. (PCMag, Jun 2025)
• Tom's Hardware credited the flat-prism lenses for widening the view from 50° to 57° and rated the glasses segment-leading, but warned that "pricing is getting out of control" and found the optional Eye camera's footage drab and fuzzy. (Tom's Hardware, Jun 2025)
• TechRadar awarded 4.5/5 and named them the best AR glasses for entertainment it had reviewed, citing the Bose audio and the sharper full-HD image from the new optical engine. (TechRadar, Jun 2025)
• Windows Central described them as the best AR glasses it had tested. (Windows Central, Jun 2025)
• Notebookcheck measured a perceived 700 nits from the 87 g glasses and a virtual screen equivalent to about 171 inches, calling them "essentially an external display for everyday devices"; it found they warm up quickly and that wearers with a narrower interpupillary distance can struggle to focus and tire their eyes. (Notebookcheck, Dec 2025)
• AppleInsider, reviewing them as an iPhone display eight months later, gave 3/5: a 700-nit, 120 Hz picture and mounts for prescription inserts, but a permanent tether and paid add-ons for 6DoF tracking and wireless use. (AppleInsider, Feb 2026)

Consensus: Reviewers agree the One Pro has the widest, cleanest picture in tethered display glasses. The disagreement is value: PCMag and TechRadar accept the premium, Tom's Hardware and AppleInsider do not, and Notebookcheck adds a fit caveat for narrower faces.
