Imagine wandering through town, running a new trail, or walking in the park. These are moments you often want music, but you also want to be present in your surroundings. Maybe help a tourist who got lost or even chat with a friend you bump into along the way. But if you’re wearing headphones, the first impression others get is “leave me alone.”
Bose Frames connect via Bluetooth to your smartphone and use exclusive Bose OpenAudio™ technology to free you from headphones. Inside each temple is a tiny, wafer-thin acoustic package with ports on the outside and underside of the temple designed to drastically reduce the spread of sound beyond you. A flat cable runs through the steel hinges of the sunglasses to send audio and power to the speakers. There’s also a microphone system built into the temples, making it easy to take calls on the go, hands free. And makes Frames so much more than just music sunglasses.
Most people say they feel like they’ve gone undercover when wearing Bose Frames. They’re able to listen to music or a podcast without anyone noticing. Thanks to the angle of the speakers, you’ll hear lifelike sound you’d never expect from sunglasses, while others around you hear practically nothing — even if they’re sitting or standing pretty close to you. So, you can listen to all your favorite songs. Plus, all styles weigh less than 2 ounces (57 grams), making them a light alternative to over-ear or in-ear headphones you can comfortably wear all day.
Noise cancelling headphones are great, especially when you want to isolate yourself from your environment, like on an airplane, a crammed commuter train, or a noisy open office.
But with Bose Frames and revolutionary OpenAudio™ technology, you stay alert and aware of your surroundings. So, if you see someone you know, it’s easy to strike up a conversation without having to unplug. Simply tap the button on the right temple of your audio sunglasses to pause, skip forward, or go back. That same button lets you answer or end a call. And the second generation of Bose Frames have intuitive touch and motion sensor controls.
Entering the lineup is Bose Frames Tempo — high-performance sport sunglasses playing louder and deeper than all other audio sunglasses. These music sunglasses were designed for staying active with stability, comfort, a water-resistant IPX4 rating, and a battery life up to 8 hours.
Two luxe silhouettes. One jaw-dropping experience. Bose Frames Tenor flaunt a rectangular frame, while Bose Frames Soprano combine a cat-eye frame with large lenses. Both designed with a more premium look and feel, playing fuller, deeper, and longer (up to 5.5 hours) than the original Bose Frames.
