Bose Frames Review: These Smart Sunglasses Have Serious Sound

[@RedlineRevenant]

Fair and direct as always, Mr. Mobile. Always a treat to watch your reviews. As for the shades, color me skeptical. This seems like a neat $200 party trick, not much more.

[@Lord_Reset]

i bought them the day after this review when bose had retail stores. Ive broken 3 pairs and ive got 3 new pairs overnighted. They are an essential item. A gimmick still but do yourself a favour and pick them up. The Suprise never goes away!

[@DApple-ef5vf]

Another great video. Love the homage to Corey Hart's ”Sunglasses at Night”. Keep up the excellent work!

I bought my Altos back earlier this year and I love them! I actually took them into my optometrist and had my prescription lens installed into them. They are even better and I use them way more then just outside. I use them at my work desk and just jam away to music while working! Great product!!

[@NomadTiff]

Have you taken phone calls on them? Can people here what your caller is saying?

[@MrRaiderg77]

@@NomadTiff I actually got them about a week ago and yes they can hear you if they are close enough to you but no sound quality complaints from the person on the other end

[@pvtcmyers87]

Totally would watch a Bose AR vid man!

[@jrighteous1984]

I would buy them if ppl couldn't hear my sound .. I'm very private like that

@@sheriffaboubakar9720 It's not selfish, it's respectful. I don't want to hear other peoples music, I want mine or none.

[@FinnsLab]

So ppl cant hear what you listening too ? Or can they ? never said anything about that in this video.

[@tibor29]

I was waiting for him to address this throughout the whole video as well.

[@VentraleStar]

Yeah many places don't allow orbit is considered inappropriate to have open speakers so I'm curious. It looks like it's obviously open but still...

[@lvertreesgmaer]

You only hear a bit of noise with the glasses at full volume, but nothing too bad.

[@juancena6909]

In IG he stated that the sound is not really noticeable even if you sitting in a silent room

[@DarkOracleOfDeath]

Judging by the form factor and the way they're built I'd say that other people would be able to hear what you listen to. It's not like bone induction or anything. It's just a speaker above your ear...

[@FrederickDunn]

Thank you so much! This was an excellent review and helped me make a decision. Thumbs UP!

[@brendanmerkel4857]

I love the aspect of personal audio, but in a low profile format AND without having to clean off the earwax. Excited to see where this tech goes

[@Mr_Techroid]

I love what be says at the end of his video... He's basically saying " he's not a sell out , so with that being said all his reviews are 100% his own personal opinion " you don't find tech reviewers like that anymore. Keep it up bud

[@povylas]

I just bought Alto yesterday. They had update, now you can press button and turn your head for + or - to volume. I like those very much :)

[@mozzabbott9971]

[@mr.joshmateo]

The music on this video sounds great on the soundwear. I’m waiting for my Alto’s to arrive tomorrow.

[@evabonnes2614]

I find earbuds incredibly uncomfortable and need sunglasses for glare in the pnw so when I tried these on I was absolutely thrilled! I do have some standard headphones but they fall off when I’m gardening, which is much of my day, so this is the coolest thing since sliced bread for me! I love them. Also they’re great to listen to music in the car while driving my elderly parents around. No need to change my music because it bothers her anymore because she can’t hear it! but I can still hear her. Perfect.

[@stevemayvisuals]

My issue with Bose is with products like these, the sound quality is far below what it should cost. Those shoulder mounted speakers you showed I would pay at most $150 for the sound fidelity but their asking of $300+ is ridiculous to me. Same with the QC35. It's cool tech that you're paying the extra cost for the name. I haven't heard these yet so won't critique them but I probably would be happier with my SE215, Oakleys, and my smartwatch for those smart features rather than ditching them for a product seemingly not as good at any of those fields. Great review and interesting video as always though, Mr. Mobile

[@farooqomer929]

I would love to see sunglasses that have AR capabilities. Kindly make a video of them if they do come in the future.

[@wangchangkevin]

Most sophisticated tech reviewer out there

[@joserobertocastellon]

Not a fan of the design of either option, but definitely a fan of what Bose is trying to achieve. It would have been great if Bose had put a microphone under each lens, that way it would be much closer to your mouth and with two extra microphones on the back, noise cancellation would be magnificent.

[@TheMrMobile]

Noise cancellation is quite good, actually, better than I expected. It's just the word clipping that gives it away a bit.

[@joserobertocastellon]

@@TheMrMobile it does sound like they have a product with great potential. That or you're just so good at reviews that even the crappy products are appealing 😆

[@rajgill7576]

For the people wondering about sound leak, I got you. I tried these at the mall last weekend, so Im basically an expert. Theyre no louder than regular earbuds so you can hear it only when close enough to hear someones buds

[@sisir360]

I love wearable tech. First the Levi’s smart jacket, then the Bose wear and now this. I’d buy them all if I had the money to. That’s why products like these are so attractive to me, even though I wouldn’t use the, very often!

[@ArtiePenguin1]

I just saw these today in a Bose store and they were interesting - I would definitely be looking forward to a follow up review when these get the Bose AR software.

[@carlossilva1477]

i’m constantly listening to music when i’m out and about. one thing i hate about headphones when walking down the street is how much it isolates me and limits my awareness of my surroundings. i wish you had touched on that more with these sunglasses, if it makes a big difference when you’re in public and there’s lots of things going on around you. you mentioned the bus drowned it out but that was about it. i like the idea of having speakers so close to your ears so you don’t have to turn it up. but not having them cover your ears, so you can pay attention to what’s going on around you. say, if there was suddenly some commotion and now you’re in an emergency situation and need to react accordingly. maybe i’ll wait for a polarized version and give them a shot by summertime

[@SanderNorwayPhotography]

You should mention that it's possible to buy clear prescription lenses for these glasses since you can change the lenses.

[@PixelSheep]

And yet another refreshing review! They always feel so damn good and are a pure pleasure to watch! You are for sure one of my biggest inspirations. The glasses - I find them to be really really interesting but one question still remains - are they actually hearable for people around you? (if yes maybe bone-conduction might be the way to go for future generations) Cheers and greetings from Germany! 🐑

[@neiljohnson2579]

as always to the point, interesting and intuitive Kudos MrMobile and we would like to have the follow-up video too

[@avocademy]

As someone who *has* to wear glasses not being able to get my prescription is whack. I'd like a pair with flip up shades.

[@RenAigu]

Benefit is that it doesn't block off traffic noise. But I think bone conduction is still the way to go, if this solution also doesn't offer to much bass. Benefit with bone conduction is that when suddenly ambient noise overpowers it, the solution can be as simple as a finger (or earplug) into the ear canal, you don't have to swap gear.

[@PKTEK]

$200? That is awesome. I spent $200 on some sunglasses years ago and when I need to replace them, I'll go with these. Once you can polarize them

[@tribalstyle138]

OMG you did a SeaQuest reference!!!!!!!!!!! I loved that show!! Them was those DS9 years. Oh good times MM. Oh we are getting old.

Appreciate the end blurb about the review policy

[@Brianuuuu]

How is it you're not at 1 million subs already?

[@WindowsAndMacintosh]

My friend has these and they're really nice! That being said, I definitely will stick to my polarized Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Alternating between my Bose SoundSport Wireless and QC35 II is good enough. Great video per the usual!

[@GameBoothUK]

As someone who wears glasses all day every day, I'd be interested in these once they had a prescription option. Even more so if you could get the transitional lenses that go from clear to dark depending on the light.. for now I'll stick to those little AKG guys that came with my S9+

[@gabrielmoralcarballo8522]

Hello, Mrmobile. I speak with you from Bolivia. I have a question: here, the cost of the huawei mate20 is $ 570, the galaxy note 9 of 128 GB costs $ 750, the OP6 of 128 GB costs $ 605 and the OP6t of 128 GB costs $ 760, which you recommend and for what?.

[@Jack-hy5ju]

So is it loud for people around you?

[@josephrusso2645]

In-ear sound buds really bother me a lot. Headphones sometimes too bulky to use. Bought Bose frames and I really like them. Very comfortable to wear and very happy with sound. I have a tendency to listen at high volume but Bose frames have no volume control therefore preventing me from going deaf. Wore frames in a crowded Doctors office, no one else seemed to hear my frames playing music. So far so good.

[@MiteshShah07]

Before watching this I just assumed these would be pretty bad, but you've convinced me that they might have a place...still don't think it's for me though.

[@mrTrekirk65]

Mobile you make the best videos. Thanks.

[@ForbinsColossus]

The reason I watched this particular video was because I wanted to know where you got the seaQuest DSV cap.

[@NathanBudd]

I'd assumed these were bone conduction. Can people in the same room hear your audio from the speakers?

[@kinocchio]

Bose needs to release QC35 iii already.

[@tiburonroano]

For that price you can get better glasses, i just use my regular headphones and $20 glasses and it works. I do love that bose is trying new things.

[@chuckd9256]

I waiting for a transferable design so the bluetooth/audio ends can be made into a sleeve to transfer to any pair of glasses.

I am a simple man. I see a MrMobile Video. I click the like button. I watch it.

[@alpher3512]

How is the volume for people around you? Are they able to listen to your music, too? I would assume, that this would sound to them as a low volume Bluetooth-Speaker.

[@sarveshtwit]

Mr Mobile, you didn't mention if the music you are listening to or the calls you are answering is private or people around you can listen to you while that is happening. Because privacy of playlist and conversation is a big factor when it comes to an offbeat gadget choice.

[@MrDavidPartida]

[@arvindan1444]

[@UltraKryptonian]

[@spioradnaiseanta2318]

You should do an update on the new versions and prescription options.

[@davidhartonos1493]

I would buy it if there is a prescription lens and better speaker....

[@Sagar-yb1yb]

Hi mike nice reviews. Heard the sound. Not a ground crashing when it comes to bass boosting. On an average Pretty good sound. My question is do they support Bose hearing enhancing app? I mean can we use this frame for enhancing conversation for those with mild to moderate difficulty in hearing . I know Bose they do have hearing enhancing earphones. But frames are better for your working conditions where you can use prescription lenses rather than pair of earphones.

[@tee_st0rm972]

Great video! Those sunglasses look interesting.. would definitely like to see how that AR works once it launches!

I don't know why but now I want it, and that phone
