Xreal 1S AR Glasses Drop to $399, Matching Their All-Time Low Price

·3 views

Xreal's 1S video glasses are available for $399 at Amazon and Xreal's own store, a $50 discount that matches their lowest price to date. The glasses connect via USB-C and project a large virtual screen for gaming, movies, or general computing use. Among their standout features are three degrees of freedom for a stable, anchored display, electrochromic lenses with adjustable opacity, and superior audio compared to most competing models. However, users with nearsightedness may need prescription lens inserts, as the 1S lacks the hardware myopia adjustment dials found on some rival products like the Viture Pro 2. At $399, the 1S sits $100 above Xreal's own budget A01 Plus but offers notable upgrades that may justify the premium for certain buyers.
