Viture Pro 2 Smartglasses Land at $299 With a 63-Gram Frame and 1,600 Nits

Viture has launched the Pro 2, a wired pair of display glasses priced at $299 that the company says is the lightest it has built, at 63 grams. Alongside it comes a smaller Mobile Dock Mini at $99, and both are on sale now directly from Viture rather than through a wider retail launch.

These are not standalone computers in the way Apple's Vision headsets or Meta's Ray-Bans are. The Pro 2 plugs into a phone, handheld or laptop over USB-C and acts as a private screen, projecting what the company describes as a 146-inch virtual display in front of you. There is 3DoF head tracking, so the image can be anchored in place rather than following your gaze.

What is new against the original Pro

Every headline change is an incremental one, but they stack up in the places that matter for something you wear on your face for two hours at a time.

• Weight — 63 grams, down from 77 grams on the outgoing Pro. Viture puts that at 20 percent lighter and 16 percent thinner.
• Brightness — peak output rises to 1,600 nits, a 600-nit jump, with nine brightness steps.
• Field of view — 50 degrees, up from 46 degrees.
• Fit — three nose pad sizes across seven positions and three temple adjustment levels, plus thicker temple padding and a lens shade in the box.

The panels themselves are Sony micro-OLEDs behind birdbath optics, running at 1920 x 1080 per eye and 120Hz. Viture is branding the optical work UltraClarity 3.0, and the practical claim is a flatter field curvature so the virtual screen looks less warped at the edges. The published specification does not list HDR10 support.

Glasses wearers get built-in dioptre adjustment

The Pro 2 keeps the feature that has done most to sell this category to people who already wear prescription lenses: each eye adjusts independently from 0 to -5.00D. If your prescription sits inside that range, you can wear the glasses without contacts and without ordering custom inserts. Anything stronger than -5.00D, or any astigmatism correction, still needs a separate insert.

The Mobile Dock Mini is aimed squarely at Switch 2 owners

The $99 Mobile Dock Mini is the more interesting half of the announcement for portable gaming. It weighs roughly 250 grams, which Viture puts at 30 percent lighter and 34 percent smaller than the dock it replaces, and carries a 10,000mAh battery so it can power the glasses and a console at once.

The magnetic adapter on the dock detaches and works on its own as a hub for the Nintendo Switch 2, which means you can route the console's video out to the glasses without carrying the full brick. A short Anker Nano cable is included. If you would rather put the Switch on a television instead, our walkthrough on connecting a Nintendo Switch to a TV covers both generations of the console.

What it costs, and where you can buy it

Bought separately the two products come to $398. Viture is selling them together as part of a fifth-anniversary collection for $378, a $20 saving. All figures are quoted in US dollars on Viture's own store, and the company has not detailed a broader retailer rollout or separate pricing for other markets, so buyers outside the United States should check shipping and import costs before ordering.

Should you wait?

At $299 the Pro 2 sits below Viture's own Luma and Beast models rather than replacing them, so it is the entry point into the range rather than the flagship. The trade-offs are the ones the whole category shares: it is a tethered accessory that needs a USB-C port carrying video out, it drains the battery of whatever it is plugged into, and a 50-degree field of view is a window rather than full immersion.

For handheld gaming and long flights, though, the weight reduction is the part that will be felt. Anyone weighing this against a dedicated portable console should also look at how cheap that end of the market has become — the Anbernic RG SP clamshell handheld launched recently at a fraction of the price.
