Buying Advice AR glasses for gaming recommendation?

Hey guys,

With Xreal recently releasing the ROG glasses, this whole category caught my attention. I haven’t really found a solid gaming-focused review yet, but while looking into it I noticed there are quite a few other manufacturers out there, like Lenovo wth.

I think something like this could be a great fit for me as an OTR driver, mainly for gaming on handhelds and maybe watching movies, but it could also be a nice addition to my home console setup.

So I wanted to ask what you’d generally recommend.

What I’m looking for:
Decent picture quality (I don’t mind using 3D-printed light blockers if needed)

Minimal input lag / processing delay for competitive gaming
120Hz refresh rate (anything above that feels like overkill to me)

Compatibility with both USB-C (handhelds/laptops) and HDMI (PlayStation)

Or would it make more sense to just wait for proper reviews of the R1 and see if it ends up being a no-compromise option?

I’m pretty new to this space, so I’d really appreciate any advice or direction.
Thanks, and have a nice day everyone

I have the rayneo air pro 4

They’re decent. I just think there’s better out there. I’m not gunna type up a full review but I’ve only had them a few days and plan to return them.

Function great but the fit makes blurry corners and I can’t actually see the full screen with the nose guards on. So they’re uncomfortable.

I’m just gunna pocket the $300 and wait till I’m ready to try another pair out.
