The VITURE Luma Pro are the best XR glasses you can get for under $500

Wait 5 sec.

I’ve tested a countless number of gadgets over the years, but the one area of hardware that’s been a quiet favorite of mine over the last decade is the XR space. That all started when I was blown away by the original HTC Vive, but since then it’s been encouraging to see more and more XR wearables that don’t require endless cables, uncomfortable, sweaty eye masks, or a powerful PC to run it — case in point, the emerging XR glasses category, where a huge widescreen to work and play on is never more than a pair of spectacles away.While Apple is busy misjudging its reach with the wildly overpriced Vision Pro, other brands are bringing XR wearables to the mainstream, and among that crowd is VITURE, a company that makes some of the most impressive XR glasses on the market today. Recently, it rolled out its updated Luma series, which has some huge improvements over its previous generation XR glasses, and much of the competition. Despite being a bit of an XR fan, I’ve never actually had the chance to try out a pair of the latest wave of XR glasses for anything more than a quick demo, but after using a pair of the VITURE Luma Pro for a few weeks now, I’m convinced this is a niche that is about to explode.
