Bose Frames Retrospective - What Happened?

[@peterlundskow4061]

I have had two pair, currently own Tempos. My first pair stopped working under warranty & I upgraded. I like them very much, ware them for hikes & runs all the time, sound great, and a good enough battery life for longer outside activities. It is a shame they stopped making them, I much prefer them to earbuds & headphones, I still feel very connected to the world around me sound wise. Don't know what I will do after the Tempos ware out?

Yeah fair call, that’s one of their main utilities, being connected/aware of the outside world while listening to music/content, I guess when your Tempos die out explore what similar products are on the market from reputable brands, like I mentioned in the video currently there are the RayBan/Meta glasses and the Echo Glasses, curious to see in a few years how this form factor can evolve to incorporate new technology/features

Bought a pair, swapped presciption lenses, 2 months later, stopped working. Warrantied, takes weeks and u send your unit back. I bought a backup pair in the meantime. I get my replacement and put it away and keep the backups as my main. These stop working 2 months later, I warranty it and use the replacement ones. I get my warranty back, my other pair that was a replacement stops working, I warranty it. The other replacement ones stop working WHILE THE OTHER WARRANTY was active. I don't warranty it I saw screw it theyre glasses, Ill just use the next replacement as my headphones ones...but..what did they do? They send me ALTO's. So now my lenses wont fit in a working pair. I gave up, rocked the non working ones for 4 years, arms broke but i had the arms from the alto to replace with (i wore the altos a couple times as sunglasses, and they stopped working after a couple times so i didnt mind using the arms) I put those arms on, they break, i rock tape for the last year with them. I buy new glasses last week, then helped my brother clean out his car, I find a pair he bought, and after three weeks the arms broke. This is probably the worst product ever made. LOL

I would definitely suggest looking at some of the boards about the glasses, there are hundreds of complaints, I really hate they sold their bulk to Razer XD

@@skudie damn sounds like a bad experience with this product, I only have used them on the rare occasion but when I have it seemed to work as expected for me, maybe your type of experience and underwhelming sales is why they are pulling the plug on the product 🤔, but nevertheless an interesting few years on the market for the product category for Bose
