**Bottom line: the RayNeo X3 Pro is the better buy for most people, unless you need the wider field of view.**

- Buy the Epson Moverio BT-45C if you want the wider 34° field of view (vs 30°).
- Buy the RayNeo X3 Pro if you want the lighter 76g fit (vs 445g), you need full 6DoF positional tracking, and you're an iPhone user.
