Critics' Consensus

“The Xreal XBX a01+ delivers a bright, lightweight AR experience at a competitive $299 price point, featuring sharp Micro-OLED lenses and a 1,600-nit peak brightness. While it lacks some premium features, its portability and performance make it the best budget AR glasses option currently available.”
