XR glasses are fantastic for watching movies on a plane or playing Nintendo Switch games on a virtual big screen, but they also have some pretty incredible utility for mirroring your laptop or tablet display.
For a limited time, the Xreal One Pro glasses are on sale for $599, down from the regular price of $769. This is one of the most notable smart glasses deals we’ve seen so far this year, and matches their discount during last Black Friday.

ZDNET’s Matt Miller tested the Xreal One Pro smart glasses and praised their performance in getting work done on his Surface Pro and MacBook Pro computers in ultra-wide mode. Powered by Xreal’s X1 spatial computing chip for augmented reality applications, he said the Xreal glasses left him feeling spoiled.
The Xreal One Pro delivers an impressive visual experience, thanks to its new flat prism optics. While the design adds some bulk and weight, it enables a 57-degree field of view — currently the widest available in any consumer AR device.
For anyone who likes bringing tech onto a plane, or just daily commuters on the train or subway, XR glasses like these offer one of the most immersive ways to watch content or play mobile games on the go.

What about the audio, though? These were developed in partnership with Bose, which provides enjoyable sound even though the speakers aren’t directly in your ears like traditional earbuds and headphones.
It’s really all about the visual experience, though. The Xreal One Pro has a built-in ultra-wide screen, and when paired with the Xreal Eye accessory, adds 6DoF support — letting you anchor your virtual workspace much like you can with the Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3.
When ultra-wide mode is enabled, all previously arranged apps, tabs, and windows reappear exactly where you left them, making for a remarkably fluid multitasking experience.
For frequent travelers who rely on a single laptop screen, XR glasses like these offer a compelling productivity boost — at a fraction of the cost of multiple physical monitors.
