I have a lot of displays in my home, but none of them measure over 100 inches, and certainly not while being entirely private to me.
Well, that’s not entirely true. For months I’ve had and loved the XREAL Air 2 Pro AR glasses that we reviewed, and now I have one or two more other pairs of glasses lying around the place. That includes the VITURE Pro XR Glasses, which I had little hope would actually surpass the tried-and-true despite VITURE seemingly carving out a comfortable chunk of the AR market for itself.
I can admit when I’m wrong, though, and I was wrong. XREAL has been the standard for augmented reality glasses at Windows Central, but it’s clear that it’s not the only company serious about getting it right. VITURE is out to create a compelling and thorough XR ecosystem, and the VITURE Pro XR is a part of that foundation.
After a few weeks of use, I have little reason to return to my Air 2 Pro. The VITURE Pro XR Glasses are comfortable, with bright and detailed displays, solid stereo speakers, built-in controls, and actually useful software to enable additional features. AR glasses continue to cost a pretty penny, but I’m more than comfortable recommending these alongside the best.
My job keeps me busy with endless tech and countless assignments, giving me plenty of opportunity to take advantage of AR glasses. It’s not just about comfort and display quality, but how useful these wearables can be to me.

VITURE Pro XR review: Pricing and specifications
- The VITURE Pro XR Glasses retail for $460, which is expensive.
- That’s the XREAL Air 2 Pro at $400, but below the XREAL One at $500.
- VITURE also offers the more affordable One Lite XR Glasses for $350.
AR glasses are steadily declining in price, but even the most affordable still sits outside the interest of casual users.

The VITURE Pro XR Glasses are the company’s flagship shades, so they’re going up against the best from companies like XREAL in terms of price. Available in one size and color, the VITURE Pro XR Glasses retail for $459 at Amazon. For reference, the XREAL Air 2 Pro that most directly competes with these glasses is $400, while XREAL’s new One glasses with enhanced spatial capabilities are $500.
VITURE also offers an ecosystem of accessories and add-ons, but you get a complete AR experience just with the glasses. For example, those who want more can consider the VITURE Pro Neckband for $299 at VITURE, which enables a whole suite of additional features like hand tracking and remote access. There are also various adapters, a mobile dock, and a prescription lens frame to improve compatibility and accessibility.
In the box, you’ll find the VITURE Pro XR Glasses, the USB Type-C to magnetic connector cable, a travel case, and four swappable nose pad sets. These glasses are covered by VITURE’s standard 1-year warranty.
VITURE Pro XR review: The good
- The VITURE Pro XR Glasses feel like a quality product.
- They’re built well, but they’re also designed well with lots of useful features.
- The AR experience is overall great, and VITURE’s software adds to it.
Most AR glasses tend to look pretty similar, and the VITURE Pro XR Glasses are no exception. Large lens, a chunky matte black frame, long and thick stems — they’re all here. That being said, I do think the VITURE Pro XR Glasses look more stylish than the XREAL Air 2 Pro, with some more distinctive lines and accents. They weigh 2 grams more than XREAL’s alternative (75g vs. 77g), but also feel a little more solid.
VITURE didn’t just copy and paste the generic AR glasses formula, though. The fundamentals are here, but VITURE injected a few extra goodies that help its glasses stand out. For one, both lenses have independent adjustment dials for myopia (between 0.0D and -5.0D), which may help many adjust to the Pro XR Glasses without prescription lens.
If you need it, you can customize your own Prescription Lens Frame from $29 at VITURE, which is not only more cost effective than other solutions but beautifully simple to install thanks to a snappy magnetic attachment.
The VITURE Pro XR Glasses’ connecting cable may use USB Type-C to be compatible with most modern devices, but the other end is actually a proprietary design that magnetically clicks onto the end of one stem. Proprietary designs are always a cause for concern, but the benefits in this case are undeniable — easier connecting, less hair clipping, and less risk of damage if the cable is yanked out.
Even the hard travel case is more than an empty shell; the soft, lined interior features a shaped cavity to help guide the glasses into the case and keep them in place, while there’s a dedicated area to store the cable behind a magnetically attached flap. I don’t love the zipper or obnoxious orange accents, but it’s clear VITURE didn’t cut corners even here.
I found the VITURE Pro XR Glasses to be quite comfortable to wear, too. VITURE includes four sets of interchangeable nose pads in the box so you can find the perfect fit, but the default was just right for me. Clamping force is reasonable, there’s no pinching and chafing, and weight is balanced well throughout the glasses.
If I had to pick one, I’d say the XREAL Air 2 Pro glasses are slightly more comfortable, mostly thanks to the flexible stems, but it’s pretty close.
It’s incredibly easy to get started with the Pro XR Glasses, as all you need is a device with a USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort output (or one of VITURE’s various adapters for other devices). Plug in, and your device will see the Pro XR Glasses as another monitor.
This “basic” mode is essentially just a giant screen that follows your head movements, but it works great and that’s how most people will use these glasses for playing games or watching movies.
Display quality is excellent. Any color grading issues VITURE had in the beginning have long been resolved by post-launch firmware updates, so the Pro XR Glasses’ dual FHD micro-OLED displays are vibrant and accurate, searingly bright with up to 4,000nits peak brightness, beautifully smooth thanks to a 120Hz refresh rate, and decently sharp throughout.
VITURE claims this is the equivalent of a 135-inch display, which is difficult to quantify. Still, it’s a great viewing experience; the 46-degrees field-of-view (FoV) isn’t the best in the business and the edges of the display still show some blurriness, but it’d be difficult to readily find AR glasses that comfortably surpass the VITURE Pro XR Glasses in this category.
The dual speakers, tuned by HARMAN, also sound quite good, even while listening to music.
In most ways, you can flip a coin between VITURE and XREAL and be extraordinarily happy with each side it lands on, but there are two areas VITURE comes out on top: on-board controls and ecosystem features.
Both XREAL and VITURE install a multifunction button and rocker combination on their glasses, but VITURE goes a step further. Not only is there a ton of functionality packed into these buttons, but there’s also an on-screen display (OSD) so you know exactly what you’re doing and when.
There are the basics like adjusting the volume or brightness and toggling the electrochromic lens tint, but you can also adjust the eye axis to help the screens appear directly in front of you, cycle between multiple different color profiles for the display, and make the display turn off and the lens go transparent until you press any other button (useful if you want to see something in the real world clearly).
There’s a learning curve, but having a clean and legible OSD that’s device-level helps a ton. Now, the VITURE Pro XR Glasses are similar to the XREAL Air 2 Pro in that they don’t have much spatial awareness on their own, but VITURE’s SpaceWalker enables new features and turns these glasses into a proper productivity-boosting tool.
Installable on Windows 11, macOS, and mobile devices, SpaceWalker allows you to set up a virtual desktop with multiple individual screens (in a variety of configurations). Using your device’s computational power and the Pro XR Glasses’ sensors, it also enables 3DoF head tracking so that your desktop remembers its place in space.
A long list of shortcuts gives you added utility, including adjusting the size or layout of your desktops, moving windows around, tweaking or toggling tracking, recentering your desktop space or cursor, and more. It’s a lot to learn, but the SpaceWalker program really does add a new dimension to the VITURE Pro XR Glasses’ capabilities.
VITURE Pro XR review: The bad
- These glasses are now competing with the more advanced XREAL One.
- Despite an impressive ecosystem, spatial features are still lacking.
- Not everyone will be willing to accept those compromises at this price.
As an emerging product category, AR glasses are already struggling to break into the mainstream, and will until the technology behind them slowly becomes more affordable and, therefore, more accessible. You can find the XREAL Air 2 at $300 and the VITURE One Lite XR Glasses at $350, but many features are still locked behind higher prices.
The VITURE Pro XR Glasses are $460, which is now $60 higher than the similarly capable XREAL Air 2 Pro I’m comparing them to. That’s only $40 less than the new XREAL One, which takes the Air 2 Pro, refines the design, upgrades the displays, adds new sensors, and uses XREAL’s custom X1 chipset to enable on-board spatial computing — no external device required.
VITURE may be building an impressive ecosystem with its SpaceWalker software mobile dock and neckband accessories (more impressive, at least, than XREAL’s Nebula and the XREAL Beam Pro we reviewed), but is that enough to remain competitive?
Of course, the VITURE Pro XR Glasses have flaws and blemishes of their own. For example, the myopia adjustment dials feel miscalibrated, and the Pro XR Glasses in general are more finnicky to find that “sweet spot” than the XREAL Air 2 Pro.
The SpaceWalker software takes up a ton of system resources so older devices may struggle to run it, and you’ll still notice screen tearing, jitteriness, and wonky tracking (my virtual desktop constantly, slowly drifted to the left and down).
Spending $460 on what will always be an accessory rather than a necessity means accepting those compromises and choosing this over the latest and greatest competitors.

VITURE Pro XR review: Final thoughts
You should buy this if …
✅You’re interested in an XR ecosystem, not just XR glasses
VITURE’s software is miles better than XREAL’s, and its hardware ecosystem also seems both more impressive and more comprehensive. You may start with the Pro XR Glasses, but you may eventually want accessories like the Pro Neckband to gain hand tracking, native 3DoF support, remote access to your devices, an AI assistant, and more.
✅You can benefit from the myopia adjustment
Most great AR glasses offer options for those with prescriptions, and VITURE’s magnetic prescription lens frame is even one of the better solutions, but a lot of people with minor prescriptions may not need it at all. For those with myopia up to -5.0D, the VITURE Pro XR Glasses support your eyes right out of the box.
You should not buy this if …
❌You want an all-in-one pair of AR glasses
With custom silicon designed from the ground up for spatial computing, XREAL has already departed for the next era of AR glasses. The XREAL One and One Pro are a step above anything VITURE has made when it comes to on-board XR features, and you don’t have to pay much more to get in on the ground floor.
I enjoyed testing the VITURE Pro XR Glasses far more than I thought I would, and if I had to choose between them and the XREAL Air 2 Pro glasses I’ve been using… I’d probably choose VITURE.
These are comfortable, high-quality AR glasses with a thoughtful and attractive design. They work great as a private, ultra-portable external display for all your devices, but VITURE’s clear commitment to the category and its growing ecosystem means you have multiple ways to expand those features.
Genuinely useful software and various accessories that make the Pro XR Glasses more accessible, compatible, or functional all help sell these expensive AR glasses. If this is what you’re in the market for, VITURE is a legitimately great option.
The XREAL One is now available for $499 at Amazon, though, and you’re getting better displays with a wider field-of-view, a more refined design, and actual spatial computing features without the need for another accessory or device. That’s only $40 more than the VITURE Pro XR Glasses, which takes some of the bite out of these shades.
Despite the aggressive competition, I still recommend the VITURE Pro XR Glasses, and you can pick them up for $459 at Amazon if you’re interested.
VITURE is making some stellar AR hardware backed by properly useful software, and its expanding ecosystem makes it an extremely compelling option in this emerging market. The VITURE Pro XR Glasses more than earn my recommendation, but you’re still paying a lot for what is, at least right now, a luxury product.
