  • Clear, crisp audio that allows you to hear your surroundings, Strong mic clarity, Easy to control with a single button, Classic, stylish design
  • Audio lacks bass depth, No prescription options
  • The Bose Frames sunglasses hold promise for an AR-capable future, but until then, they simply double as pretty good headphones...

  • Convenient hands-free wireless audio, Can take phone calls, Helpful Siri or Google Assistant integration, Light
  • No bass whatsoever, Not loud enough, Mediocre battery life, AR and gesture navigation not yet live
  • As a debut effort, the Bose Frames are more than just a novelty -- at least they actually work. But not well enough yet. Plus, you probably shouldn't be wearing your sunglasses at night or at the gym (unless you're super thick-skinned), which kind of limi...

  • There's a surprisingly good entertainer hiding out in these shades, Users stay engaged and safe, with their ears and eyes open, Significant potential for interactive augmented-reality applications
  • Only 3.5 hours of battery life, and recharging requires a proprietary cable, On an iPhone, the only music apps you can control with voice commands are Apple's own, These shades won't hide in the pocket of your skinny jeans
  • Multi-functional sunglasses with hidden speaker smarts, the entertaining Bose Frames will grab you first with their sly private music playing and call handling. But they promise to broaden your smile later with custom adventures, gaming, and coaching sess...

  • The Bose Frames deliver surprisingly decent sound using embedded micro speakers. While the arms are slightly bulky, the sunglasses don't feel heavy on your head and are comfortable to wear. Using the sunglasses to make calls works well. Even though the au
  • Battery life isn't great. There's no prescription lens option available from Bose, and adding a third-party prescription lens voids the warranty. The charging cable is proprietary
  • While the audio AR features are still in the works, the Bose Frames managed to produce decent enough audio to make them a compelling wearable audio device that can take the place of headphones...

  • Ingenius private audio, Sweet audio quality, Light, stylish design
  • Relatively short battery life
  • Too often, companies trot out seriously interesting tech at conventions and festivals, tech that never hits the shelf. While Frames still have a promise to fulfill with the Bose AR platform, they've already proven a lot to me and sent a message to the ind...

  • Surprisingly good sound, Compelling concept
  • Short battery life, No prescription lenses, AR?, So-so build quality
  • Despite their problems, I still found myself quite endeared towards the first-gen incarnation of the Bose Frames...

  • Neat form-factor, Fantastic sound, Relatively compact
  • Limited battery life, Proprietary charge connector, Controls are limited, No support for prescription lenses, You tend to look like strange wearing them at night
  • The Bose Frames are really unusual. As a concept, and as an execution.On the one hand, the idea is cute, and very cool. Sure, there's a hipster gauge to the whole schtick, and it's hard to overlook: it's a pair of sunglasses with sound inside.What sort of...
