Xreal’s new AR glasses are way cheaper and almost just right

Xreal's $299 A01 Plus AR glasses offer a budget-friendly alternative to the $449 1S model. At 62 grams, they're notably lighter but feel flimsier. The micro OLED screens deliver 1080p, 120Hz, and good contrast, though out-of-box clarity may require ~$50 prescription lens inserts. Key omissions include three degrees of freedom (replaced by a gimbal-like stabilization with some jitter), no volume control on the glasses themselves, and a fixed screen size. Customizable modular shells and solid light-blocking are highlights. Best suited for first-time AR glasses buyers wanting USB-C screen mirroring for games or movies under $300.
