The Best Augmented Reality Headsets – Budget to Best

Step into the future with us as we explore the exciting world of augmented reality in this episode of Budget to Best. Augmented reality isn't just a sci-fi dream anymore; it's here, and it's incredibly cool. We're covering everything from the surprisingly "affordable" (relative to the Vision Pro, of course) XReal Air AR Glasses to the jaw-dropping Apple Vision Pro. Whether you're looking to watch movies in bed with a view that only you can see, or you're ready to dive deep into the most immersive tech experiences available today, we've got the scoop on the best AR devices for every budget.
We'll kick things off with the XReal Air, a great pick for casual users at just under $300. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced, the Viture XR glasses might be your next gadget. Plus, we can't forget about the Meta Quest 3, which is revolutionizing how we think about VR and AR spaces. And for those who really want to push the boundaries, the Apple Vision Pro might break the bank but it also breaks all the rules of what you expect AR to be. Tune in, find out which AR headset fits your lifestyle and budget, and let's get ready to blur the lines between digital and physical like never before!

Tried the Vision Pro. Bought the Quest 3.

Thanks for featuring us guys! We've recently released a lot of great XR experiences that run on the devices you already own too (like your smartphone or MacBook), so many users just need the glasses. 😎 We have more cool things coming in the near future!

Quest 2 is literally the PS2 of the VR world. It sold the most in history and it gets the job done with great games.

[jinxblaze]

this guy is very excited about vr ar, love to see it, more power to u my dude!!

[sergekonevsky]

Great video! Love my Viture, definitely my-go-to gaming device! And now with Spacewalker MacBook, for productivity as well!

Shows how much insights there is to this. There are at least 15 to 16 models of AR glasses

Used Quest 3 to watch Dredd in 3d on an airplane

[philhan]

My wish for VR is just to watch movies in the most immersive way possible. Not sure if the Quest 3 allows you to upload a 4k movie with the image wrapping your field of view.

The problem with the vision pro is that its a fantastic media with not much else to do. Quest 3 is stacked with different things you can do with it.

[Steelninja]

Btw on quest 3 you can read your phone if you need to. They just improved pass through mode. But why would you lol

-Quest 3 is currently the best use overall.
-Vision Pro is technologically the best overall, but lacks content and too expensive.
-PSVR2 best gaming set, but would be better if they make a 2.0 wireless version and get PC support

[SirBillyDorseyJr]

Vision Pro is it. And wait until VisionOS2 at WWDC! I’ve tried many (not all) of these. Never tried anything like AVP.

[AbdullahTurki-jsnn]

From my experience xreal is the best AR in the world

[XRP-fbxh]

Bought the Quest 3 after Quest 2 failed after only 16 months. Quest 3 was brand new and couldn’t charge and it died. Contacted meta and they told us they will replace it with a refurbished Quest 3… WHAT!?? Not acceptable. Not impressed. 😡

[deltaxsingh]

Lol anyone who thinks the Apple Vision pro is the best available headset has no idea what they're talking about. It has 1/3 of the functionality for 7x the price of the quest 3

[andychaos]

Great video! Ive been looking into getting "simple" AR glasses that work on the ps5 well and so far no luck. Both the xreal Air and Viture one sound great you didn't include the fact that you the adaptor run off battery aka you need to charge hdmit box for you to use. Aka your time is limited and its no so simple. Where else the quest 3 and apple vision pro dont take hdmi input at all. :(
Still great video which helps explain their features.

[nonnygb]

A few things about the xreal... the airs support 120fps as well now thanks to a firmware update.

If you use the xreal beam you're limited to 72hz

[meric]

Ah farris bueller haven't heard that name in many years

[usbmannam]

Seth Always puts some of the best quality videos out there. Great job dude!

[MobikSaysStuff]

Have you guys checked out Rayneo X2? It uses a Quest 2 processor and it's really impressive as a normalish glasses looking AR device.
