Review on πŸ’Ί XPAND X105-RF-X1 3D Glasses, Rechargeable, Black - Optimized for RF/Bluetooth Technology by Billy Berry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best overall result in comparison

The range of test reports and prices for 3D glasses is huge. So I picked a few "best" and offer this comparison (see image). They are ranked by my overall personal preference (see review). While lens dimensions and weight are objective measures, I also included more subjective stats like field of view (FOV), glare, and comfort. They can be used to balance assumptions such as the lightest pair of glasses being the most comfortable. For reference I've also included some old original Epson glasses (with stars) that came with the projector many years ago. They are no longer available; The knockoffs sold by 3DHeavan are only available in 4-pack and probably not as good. Conclusion: All four best are goalkeepers. I would be happy to watch the film with one of the four best points. Best of all, the XPAND glasses are by far my favorite glasses currently available. The field of view is amazing. Bezels never distract you and reflected light doesn't fall in from the sides. Although they are the heaviest, they are perfectly comfortable when watching a movie. They are the second most expensive. Worst: At the bottom of the list, Sintron glasses were a joke. They are by far the cheapest and it shows. The top of the frame completely obscures the view. You have to wear them at an awkward angle or lean back to see through them. Since they are straight like a board, they stick out on the sides and let in a lot of reflected light. I returned them immediately. Most Disappointing: The Sony pair had great reviews and a price tag that promised exceptional quality. As 3D glasses, they're passable, but nothing special. In fact, there are obvious downsides. Although the lenses are a decent size with no face contouring, they protrude on the sides, reducing the actual field of view and letting in reflected light. First, they are comfortable, just sit on the soft nose. Unfortunately, while watching a movie, you will drop the glasses a few times as they slowly sink onto your nose and actually get caught a bit due to the soft nosepiece. A minor annoyance but certainly not something you want to pay extra for!
