Viture’s refurb Luma Pro smart glasses are more than half off at eBay

Price is a big barrier for most people who’d like to try out smart glasses for gaming, watching movies, or using their computers. Many models are at $400 and up, but you can snag a refurbished pair of Viture’s Luma Pro USB-C smart glasses for about $271 with the code LONGWEEKEND at eBay. Each set is listed as being in “very good” condition, with “inconspicuous signs of use after being opened by users.” Every refurb purchase is a bit of a gamble versus buying new, but this purchase has a 30-day window for free returns and two years of warranty coverage via Allstate.

Viture Luma Pro XR Glasses

Where to Buy:

• $499.99 $271 at eBay (refurbished)

Under $300 is a good price to pay for Viture’s midrange smart glasses. They have a 52-degree field of view, and support for up to 1080p resolution. One of the biggest selling points is their built-in diopter dials, letting you finely tune each lens to your vision. They help content look sharper than glasses that use software to simulate these kinds of visual adjustments, including Viture’s newer Beast model, as well as Xreal’s One and One Pro glasses.

These smart glasses work well with the Steam Deck, along with other gaming handhelds, laptops, and tablets that can output video over USB-C. They don’t play nicely out of the box with a Nintendo Switch 2, but Viture’s Pro Mobile Dock enables support for the console. That will run you $129 at Amazon, but you can get a big discount on a refurbished model (using the same code LONGWEEKEND) at eBay that knocks it down to $79.20.

Some other great deals to check out

• Nintendo’s official USB camera for the Switch 2 console is cheaper than ever at Best Buy. Normally $54.99, it’s now $29.99. That’s a price more in line with the camera’s limited feature set and passable video quality. In order to use it with GameChat on the console, you’ll need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber. With it, you can video chat with friends, and have your video feed used in some fun ways in select games, like Mario Kart World and the new Star Fox.
• People who love puzzle games should head over to Humble to consider its latest bundle of Steam PC games. The “Perplexing Puzzles” bundle’s $10 tier includes eight games and some coupons, and it’s worth the cost just to get Viewfinder. The first-person title challenges you to shift perspectives using clever means (aligning photos to bridge gaps, for instance) to solve puzzles. The best part is that troceeds support The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that supports LGBTQ-identifying teenagers.
• It’s tough to find respectable gaming handhelds selling at good prices — let alone selling at all. (I’m looking at you, Steam Deck.) However, you can get the Asus ROG Xbox Ally for $499.99 during Best Buy’s Memorial Day sale, which is $100 off. While not the first-ever price cut on this model, it’s worth considering as a model that can run many games well. It has a seven-inch 120Hz refresh rate screen, and three months of Xbox Game Pass Premium is included with purchase. We weren’t impressed with it at launch, but updates since then have made it better.
