Its $299.99 Pro 2 cost the same as Xreal’s A01 Plus, but diopter dials make a big difference.

I enjoy using display-mirroring glasses as a way to play Steam Deck games on a big screen, and I’m always on the hunt for the best pair. There’s still not one perfect model I can recommend to everyone, but Viture’s new $299.99 Pro 2 have sharper-looking screens than models that cost hundreds more. It’s mostly thanks to the simple but effective diopter-adjusting dials that sit above each eye.
The dials move the lenses, helping more people get the clarity they are hoping for out of the box. These have been in some past models that sold for around $400 or more, but now they’re in glasses that cost a lot less. Most models have few, or no, built-in methods to improve clarity. The only recourse for blurry screens is to pay $50 for prescription lens inserts. That, or just return the glasses. (The Pro 2 glasses support lenses, too, in case the dials alone don’t help.)
Another perk here is the consistent sharpness across the Pro 2’s 50-degree field of view. I didn’t struggle to find a sweet spot; their entire FOV is easy to parse, be it text or other small details, like minimaps in games or menus. Sure, their FOV is smaller than some competitors, but I’ll take smaller and sharper over bigger and blurrier.
