Perfect AR Glasses for Gaming: A Comprehensive Review of Xreal, One Pro, and Beast

The quest for the ultimate gaming AR glasses continues, but which pair reigns supreme? After testing three top contenders – Xreal’s 1S, One Pro, and Viture’s Beast – we’ve identified the key features that make one perfect pair. While no single model excels in all areas, each has its strengths and weaknesses, and it ultimately comes down to your individual needs. Xreal’s glasses shine with exceptional sound quality, thanks to Bose-tuned audio. The 1S and One Pro models deliver balanced audio with surprising low-end performance, making music, movies, and games more enjoyable at lower volumes. In contrast, Viture’s Beast has inferior sound quality, relying heavily on the mids and highs. The build quality of Xreal glasses is unparalleled, with a snappy metal hinge mechanism that ensures the temple arms stay securely in place. The 1S and One Pro models also boast thinner temple arms, reducing strain on the ears. Viture’s Beast, on the other hand, has a cheap-feeling hinge mechanism. The display quality of Xreal’s glasses is slightly lacking, with reflections appearing more noticeable than Viture’s Beast. However, the contrast and clarity are still excellent, making them ideal for gaming sessions. Xreal’s Real3D feature is a hidden gem, offering subtle 3D improvements that enhance gameplay. The 3DoF integration is also superior to Viture’s Beast. Viture’s Beast has impressive contrast, but its 3DoF integration is shifty and not as polished as Xreal’s implementation. Additionally, the advertised 1200p mode isn’t available, which may be a deal-breaker for some users. Ultimately, the choice of AR glasses depends on your individual needs. If sound quality, build quality, and display performance are top priorities, Xreal’s One Pro is an excellent option. However, if you prioritize affordability and feature parity with Viture’s Beast, it may still be worth considering.
