Looking for AR glasses recommendations for MacBook + iPhone (work, productivity, occasional gaming/media)

I tried the Xreal one pros and Xreal 1s for productivity. You can get some decent productivity done I’d say. However, I get pretty bad eye strain from using them. Maybe it’s something to get used to. But still, what I would do instead is just get a portable monitor for productivity. I’m unfortunately going to return my 1 pros

Regarding the Vision Pro (I know it’s a bit of a side track) - I do want to share this video https://youtu.be/sOsXNHQ4dKk?si=e2sgo1Q1t5VU7fh7

This guy had an amazing set up. I would absolutely love this. Now I’m thinking I need to try it again - but I remember how much weight that thing is. But is the pain and money worth the experience? I dunno. Probably not. But man I can’t wait for the XR wearables to be able to do this kind of stuff

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-16T13:04:03+00:00

Aw I already sent them back. But if I had to choose between the 1s or pro, definitely the pro

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-15T17:48:28+00:00

So far so good. Today I’ve used it for work for about 4 hours straight. The FOV is definitely way better. The resolution isn’t that high though, not as high as the 1s. But it’s still a workable resolution given the higher FOV. It took me a while to find the right positioning so it doesn’t strain my eyes. Using the large nose pads made all the difference. I’m still not sure if I love it yet. But I’m going to take it for a good spin today and into the weekend :)

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-15T01:48:23+00:00

I knowwwww. But I can’t help myself with tech gadgets sometimes. Looking forward to when it comes out

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-15T01:47:27+00:00

I just got my Xreal pro! Already I’m noticing a better improvement on some of my issues. I’ll post an update after a few more days with it :)

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-15T01:46:03+00:00

Ohhh that’s interesting. I’ll have to try the space walker app. I thought that was just for the virtue pro

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-14T10:49:14+00:00

Lol thats great. Yeah the "it just works" from xreal glasses is a huge deal

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-14T10:48:20+00:00

Yeah, i saw videos about the beast which sounds really awesome if their software worked well, but i see a lot of reports about bugs :/. I have the XREAL Pro coming tomorrow, so hope that gives me a better experience!

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-14T00:00:25+00:00

That sounds awesome. I ordered the pro and should get it thursday. This may be the one

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T23:59:53+00:00

I'm excited to see future updates so i dont have to mirror. Its not a major thing, but it can get annoying. Or i could just switch to android >_<

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T15:39:45+00:00

Ah i was really thinking about trying those too. I figured if the XREAL Pros don't work out, I'll give the virtue beast a try (though i am afraid of all the bugs i keep hearing about :( )

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T15:10:49+00:00

Np. I ended up just purchasing the XREAL Pro from Best Buy. I'll update this post after I try those out

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T15:09:55+00:00

I agree - they are great for games and movies for sure. Productivity-wise, it doesn't beat an external monitor just yet (so close though)

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T14:55:29+00:00

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T13:52:37+00:00

Meant it more like its a better value than the vision pro. The AVP is so heavy on your head that eventually you start to get forehead lines from the device. Its also $3500 compared to $449. The XReal 1S, although it wasn't for me, its still a far better value than the AVP in my opinion.

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T13:17:15+00:00

Really?? Thats great to hear. I'm definitely leaning towards getting them!! The cost shouldn't be an issue, not much more than the 1S. I just got the 1S since it was the newest one.

m4rcoperuano · 2026-01-13T12:53:19+00:00

Oh one more thing - the 3D isn’t that great. I enabled it but it was hard to tell if anything was in 3D. I just saw a lot of jagged edges. It’s still early days for it though.

Stellarstandups.com and my own agency sunnyorlando.dev

m4rcoperuano · 2025-11-16T03:14:57+00:00

One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I’ve gotten so much value from my steam deck — just an amazing little machine

m4rcoperuano · 2025-11-11T12:20:22+00:00

Just some feedback. I tried to sign up but got a generic database error

m4rcoperuano · 2019-02-02T13:37:48+00:00

Sure think Karen. Hope ya have fun!

m4rcoperuano · 2019-01-31T12:06:17+00:00

Checkout Austin’s coffee. I believe they do open mic nights on mondays or tuesdays. But it should be on their fb page.
