19 hours ago 2

Just when you think that the next big thing is finally going to be flying cars now, the tech world rolls out something new that puts that idea on hold yet again. Virtual and Augmented reality glasses are “that” big thing these days, and if you’ve been curious to try a pair yourself, Amazon is making the upgrade easy.

We just spotted the Xreal 1S AR glasses going for $449 at the retailer, down from $549. That’s after a nice (and rare) $100 discount. All shoppers will enjoy free delivery with their purchase, so you’re saving a bit on that front, too. This is also the lowest we have seen these glasses drop to in a while. The offer, however, won’t be around forever. It’s best to get your orders in before the price shoots back up!

Immersive Viewing Experience

This smart pair is capable of presenting a breathtaking virtual screen up to 500 inches, anywhere you want. You’ll experience ultra‑smooth viewing with a 120Hz refresh rate in 3DoF mode, plus a 90Hz global refresh that eliminates flicker to keep things sharp. Each unit is carefully colored‑tuned for precise, natural hues, while the optical engine boosts clarity by 9% for incredible detail. Trying to stream a nature documentary in your living room, or playing your favorite game, expect lifelike picture quality with image points that lock perfectly in your eye for a more realistic, immersive experience.

There are multiple viewing modes that support a bunch of needs. The 3 DoF Anchor lets you anchor your screen anywhere with a single press of a button. You can adjust the size and distance using the on-screen display settings. Spatial Anchor makes the screen stay fixed in a single place, even as you walk around or change your position. It offers that TV-like experience where the screen doesn’t flicker or move as you do. The Follow mode, on the other hand, offers real-time spatial anchoring. It keeps the screen fixed directly in front of your field of view by moving it according to your head movements. Basically, content won’t ever be out of sight, as long as you don’t want it to. Getting a stable, centered image also reduces motion sickness, which makes this mode perfect for travel.

Then there’s UltraWide, which expands the viewing area to give you plenty of space to multitask, create, and unwind. Similarly, Side View delivers a mini screen, allowing you to keep an eye on what’s going on around in your surroundings while still being connected to the digital world. What’s more, the sound system has been co-developed with Bose to match the immersive visuals. You’ll enjoy a spacious, balanced soundstage with deeper lows and clear highs, regardless of what you’re viewing.

Getting started with using the thing couldn’t be easier. The pair runs on a self‑developed X1 chip, which is the world’s first spatial computing processor built specifically for AR glasses. It doesn’t require complicated setup processes to get going. You can simply connect it to any USB‑C DP‑enabled device and step straight into expansive spatial content. Once paired, you can adjust brightness, color temperature, tint, distance, and 2D/3D modes with precision using on‑device controls.

Included in the box are the AR glasses, a carrying case, a USB-C cable, and a user manual. You can now grab this smart pair for just $449, after Amazon took a nice $100 off its usual price. The offer won’t be around for long, so we highly suggest grabbing it without wasting much time.
