ASUS – ROG XREAL R1 Gaming AR Glasses – 171″ FHD 240Hz 0.01ms for ROG Ally, PC and Console (Standard IPD 57-66mm) – Black

Cool tech, but too heavy and short cables. NO WAY! - I really wanted to love these. As a 44-year-old gamer, I was incredibly impressed by the tech when I could actually get them to work. The 3D feature that converts 2D content to 3D is genuinely cool and immersive. However, the physical design and ergonomics are a massive letdown for the price. These glasses are so large and heavy that they literally wouldn’t stay on my face. They feel incredibly clunky, and when you do manage to balance them, the weight becomes uncomfortable quickly. The biggest dealbreaker is the cable situation. You are completely tethered by an extremely short USB-C cable. To use them comfortably from a couch or bed, you have to run a massive HDMI cable all the way from your console to the adapter box in your sitting area, and then plug the short cable from the box into the back of the glasses. It creates a massive tripping hazard. Worse yet, they are not compatible with standard USB-C extension cables. I tried using the high-quality extensions I use for my PS VR2, and the glasses refused to work with them. For this amount of money, ASUS absolutely needs to include a wireless module or at least make the hardware compatible with third-party extension cables. Unless you plan on sitting right next to your device, they are practically useless. Genuinely cool tech, but poorly executed for everyday comfort and convenience. I returned them for these reasons. I know people will disagree. If you sit in a gaming chair in front of a computer, MAYBE, but on second thought, no. Save your money and wait. Unless your face is massive and you don’t mind having an octopus of cables surrounding you.

Love-Hate Relationship - My boyfriend absolutely loves these glasses and has no issues with them period. We got them before we traveled and they were perfect for gaming on the trip there and in the hotel room. I, on the other hand, find them bulky (kind of expected with what they are) and odd fitting. They will not stay high enough up on my face and constantly slide down my nose bridge. I also find that they hurt my eyes after wearing them for only a short period of time. Application and features are good though.

Greatish - It’s a good product idea. I feel like the over brow section makes it alittle uncomfortable. Didn’t have a problem with the heating aspect. It stayed cool. Feel like the viewing aspect is too limited. Gives a headache even though it’s suppose to be a large screen. Causes a headache.

Good but not great XR glasses - I bought these to upgrade from an older pair of Xreal XR glasses. They were certainly a good upgrade over the older Xreal One (not Xreal One pro). What I liked is that the frame felt less cumbersome and the heat displacement was better than older XR glasses. The frame rate is great at 120Hz. The sound is also decent but obviously any pair of high end earbuds would provide much better sound quality. The OSD menus are easy to navigate and the 3DoF tracks well. The biggest issue is the value at the price they are charging. While you are getting a dock which you can plug other devices in, like a PS5 or your laptop, it’s just not necessary for what most users want in a pair of XR glasses. It’s a needless bundle that offers you something you most likely will not use. I have seen the glasses offered at a slightly lower price without the dock but these glasses alone are really not better than the the Xreal One Pro which retails for $549.99. I decided to do a comparison and bought the Viture Beast glasses and felt that for the price and quality the Viture glasses were a much better value proposition, especially for my use case, which is gaming on my RoG Ally X. By comparison the I found the colors were superior on the Viture beast, and the electrochromic tinting was also much better. The screen on the Viture Beast is also much brighter which makes them better in brightly lit environments . The screen on the Beast also has higher resolution at 1900x1200 if you would like as an option, and it also is 120Hz.Ultimately I returned the RoG R1 glasses and kept the Viture Beast because I didn’t need or want the dock and the value was far better for the Viture glasses at $549.99 than the RoG R1 for $749.99

Glasses are excellent! - I bought these to pair with an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. My ROG came with the Nvidia 5060. The cool thing is that the glasses are 1080p, meaning the 5060 can handle the output with no issues. I play Warzone at 120fps on a mobile 5060 and it is very smooth.

Great, but not quite the big screen advertised - I hook these up to my ROG Ally and they add a really nice bigger display. I have the original ROG ally and I had to get the splitter from Xreal on Amazon (something like $30) to play it plugged in, otherwise it dies after half an hour (my battery is probably dying). It's a lot of fun but I don't think the sales pitch that it is like sitting in front of a 171" display is accurate. It feels more like holding a screen close to your face. Which is fine, it still occupies a large part of your FOV, the sound in the glasses is good, and it's still a great way to bring an immersive gaming experience in a small bag. Good on a flight, where a gaming laptop would take up too much space. As a bonus you can plug it into your phone (I use iPhone haven't tested Android) and it works instantly. Great for watching TV, movies, YouTube videos. I like that it doesn't have a battery and relies on the device it is plugged into. Not having to worry about one more thing to charge is a huge plus.

So-so - Not very good quality picture. At most, it is not possible to watch a movie, play or work.

Great glasses, as of writing this 6DOF wasn't in the update yet if you get the separate camera attachment. ASUS has not yet released the firmware update enabling full 6DoF camera integration for the ROG XREAL R1.

Was cool - They work really well but only came in one size in-store

Not worth it - Should’ve read reviews before buying. Returned it immediately. This is for people who just want rog branded items no matter the cost. The tech in these glasses are in the same glasses for 300$. I would strongly encourage anyone buying these to double check Viture beasts. Half price double specs. No brainer.

Deceiving product claims. Feels like a 32" screen. - Purchased, tested and returned. Deceiving product claims. It felt like a 32" screen to my perspective. I've had 3 different VR systems and 2 home theatre projectors with 100"-120" screens and this feels just tiny in comparison. All three felt MUCH larger than this does. Good image quality but really disappointed in the gradious product claims that don't hold up in actuality

so dope - dope set of glasses. You could make this your primary for gaming. Although it is 850 plus tax, better to go with monitor, but these things on the go or just at someone house and u just want to game on your handheld. these are dope for that.

Amazing Device - The ROG Xreal is amazing! The visuals and overall experience are impressive, and I really enjoy using it. My only wish is that it had more flexibility without needing the dock to connect to devices like the Nintendo Switch or PS5. Being able to use it more easily with those consoles would make an already great device even better. Overall, I’m very happy with it!

Great glasses love them - Amazing product love the glasses love the movies and gaming

its ok - if you have slight issue for your eye , look for something have dials for you dont need prescription lens. if your eyes are perfect, this is one of the best. i pair this with my xbox ally x almost playing it 24/7.

Amazing AR Glasses - I’m extremely happy with the ROG XREAL R1. The setup is very simple, and the glasses are truly plug and play. I’ve used them with my smartphone, laptop, ROG Ally, and other compatible devices, and the experience has been excellent. They are easy to connect, easy to handle, and very convenient for gaming, watching videos, and everyday use. The image quality is impressive, the screen feels huge, and everything works smoothly without complicated setup. I especially like how versatile they are. I can easily switch between my phone, notebook, and ROG Ally depending on what I want to do. The overall build quality also feels premium and well designed. For anyone looking for a portable large-screen experience for gaming, entertainment, or productivity, I highly recommend the ROG XREAL R1. One of the best tech purchases I’ve made recently.

Best Glasses yet - I've had them all, and this is one of the best. Can't wait to get the x twenty to add to it

Exactly What I Expected. Good for Work and Gaming - I have been using these for a few weeks now, and they are exactly what I expected. A big plus for me is that there is absolutely no need to download any software to use them. You can change all the settings directly on the glasses, and they don't even need to be charged. The audio is pretty good, and being able to change the display ratio is a huge benefit since I prefer an ultrawide monitor setup for my workflow. Overall, it makes an amazing combo with my ROG Ally X, and the carrying case is much more compact than I expected. One important thing to note: if you wear glasses, it is not comfortable to wear them under the AR glasses. I bought my custom prescription lens inserts directly through the official XREAL webpage to solve this. However, the glasses do come with a non-prescription insert that you can take to your eye doctor to have your own prescription lenses put in. I highly recommend these if you want a true plug-and-play experience!

its alright, wait til it goes on sale - Great product but the price point for this should honestly be around 500 to 600 range while it is nice I used it for 2 days and was not impressed to keep it its just one of those gacha products

Probably best of the xReal - Dock is good for PC not much else. I would recommend if you are using it for PC otherwise just get the Xreal pro
