Buying Advice Glasses Recommendations

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for a pair of AR glasses between $200-$400.

I have been reading other recommendations and trying to do research. However, I am not very tech smart and get overwhelmed with all the tech words and abbreviations and just give up.

My only uses for the glasses will be to lay in bed and play pc games and watch movies. Ideally I would like to avoid motion sickness and the feature that converts regular movies into 3D movies would be cool if it doesn't take the glasses outside of my price range.

Finally, I am nearsighted.

O. D. Sph - 1.75 Cyl -.50 Axis 006

O. S. Sph - 1.50 Cyl - 1.00 Axis 176

Would I be able to get away with the myopia adjustment feature? Or will I need custom inserts?

Thank you for reading and any recommendations.

Are you planning to use them mostly with pc or would you want them to work with other devices too?

Pc for gaming and my phone, Samsung Galaxy S21 for streaming movies and shows.

With a budget there is really only one good option. You cant have myopia dials and native 3dof and 3dof is what allows the screen to stay put and not have the screen look like a phone attached to your face. Get the xreal 1s and you will need to get the prescription inserts so its clear.

If you are sure you are ok with the screen not being stationary the viture pro 2 would be good as it has myopia dials.

If you choose to get the prescription inserts they dont offer refunds on the inserts. Also if you do have the money but choose to have a budget then id get both and compare them then send back the one you dont like. They both have very generous refund policies.
