Xreal’s best USB-C smart glasses are $50 off, but not for long

If you’re interested in the emerging world of smart glasses, Prime Day is your chance to try out some of the top models at a rare discount from Best Buy or directly from Xreal. High end Excelial One Pro He is $549$50 less than the usual price, and more entry level Ixreal 1S He is $399$50 off the regular price, but only until 1:00 a.m. ET. Both feature tiny micro-OLED displays filtered through optics that mimic a huge screen in front of your eyes anywhere you want, with three degrees of freedom, so the screen can stay in place even when you move.

Both pairs benefit from Bose-tuned built-in speakers and sport impressive low-end performance, which is great for movies and gaming. They have the premium build quality you’d expect from a pair of glasses costing hundreds of dollars, and they’re well balanced and relatively lightweight to prevent ear fatigue. These Xreal glasses can connect directly to devices via USB-C, including phones, tablets, and mobile devices like the Steam Deck. However, they cannot connect to the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.

Between the two headsets, the One Pro’s screen does a better job of reducing reflections, has better black levels in bright settings, and is generally sharper than the 1S, but the feature set is largely the same.
