XREAL released the xbx a01+ AR glasses on July 6, 2026, priced at 43,980 yen including tax. The device is the first product under the company's new sub-brand xbx, which targets younger demographics. The glasses weigh approximately 62 grams, which the sources describe as among the lightest in the industry. They feature a detachable front frame that users can swap to change the appearance, and XREAL provides 3D CAD data for creating custom frames with a 3D printer. The display uses a SeeYa Micro OLED panel with Full HD resolution at 120Hz, a 50-degree field of view, and a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits. The glasses support HDR10 and can convert SDR video to pseudo-HDR. They include built-in stereo speakers, image stabilization, and connect via USB Type-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode. The xbx a01+ lacks the XREAL X1 processor found in higher-end models, so it does not offer 2D-to-3D conversion or virtual ultra-wide display functions. It also has no built-in diopter adjustment; glasses users need contact lenses or a separately sold insert lens frame. The product is available through the XREAL official website, Amazon, and authorized electronics retailers nationwide.
The xbx sub-brand was created to make AR technology "more accessible and enjoyable," according to the ASCII.jp piece, with the tagline "Just Play." The glasses have a futuristic design with blue lenses and a fluorescent yellow cable, intended to blend into everyday outfits while adding a touch of individuality. The 4Gamer.net article notes that the xbx a01+ supports stereoscopic viewing of side-by-side 3D videos like those on YouTube. It also details that the left and right temples have built-in stereo speakers for pseudo-surround sound output from the glasses alone. The GAME Watch article reports that pre-orders were already being accepted on the official EC site and Amazon before the July 6 launch. The ASCII.jp piece includes a quote from the brand's mission statement: "Unleash your boredom." It also states that the glasses are designed for use "at home, on the commute train, or during a trip." The 4Gamer.net article specifies that the separately sold insert lens frame costs 1,649 yen including tax. It also notes that the field of view is 50 degrees, which the article says makes immersion and large-screen feel "somewhat inferior" to higher-end models. The article adds that there is no dimming function to block the view of the surroundings, so users need to attach the included light-blocking cover to the front for better immersion. The GAME Watch article says the glasses claim an equivalent of 147 inches at 4 meters. It also mentions that the device uses proprietary image stabilization technology and supports 3D spatial audio.
