Xreal’s most affordable display glasses are $50 off
Xreal launched its xbx A01 Plus display glasses over the summer for $299, and they’re a decent value. The design and fit are more or less on-par with the company’s pricier 1S that are $399, though they don’t have my favorite feature: built-in three degrees of freedom to let you lock the virtual screen in […]
Xreal has reduced the price of its most affordable display glasses, the xbx A01 Plus, by $50. Originally priced at $299, the glasses are now available for $254 at various retailers, including Amazon and Xreal's own website. The display glasses offer a similar design and fit to Xreal's more expensive 1S model, which costs $399, although they lack the latter's built-in three degrees of freedom feature that allows users to lock the virtual screen in place.
Despite this limitation, the xbx A01 Plus remains an attractive option at its current discounted price.
These display glasses connect to devices via USB-C and can mirror the screen from various gadgets that support video-out, such as laptops and gaming handhelds. The Xreal xbx A01 Plus are particularly well-suited for use with devices like the Steam Deck. Users have expressed satisfaction with the quality of the screens, although those who are nearsighted may require prescription lenses to enhance clarity and visibility. HonsVR, the manufacturer of these glasses, charges an additional $50 for prescription lens replacements.
One notable feature of the xbx A01 Plus is the ability to swap out the outer shell for different styles. The package includes a blue-tinted shell, as well as an alternative "Lights Out" shell that provides superior light-blocking capabilities, effectively minimizing external glare and distractions while users enjoy their virtual displays.
