The Bose Frames Tenor are one of the three models of audio sunglasses from Bose and features open-ear headphones that let you listen to music and take calls without blocking out the ambient noise. The Tenor are easy to pair with your smartphone via Bluetooth, and have touch controls on the right temple for playing, pausing, skipping tracks, adjusting volume, and accessing your voice assistant. The sound quality is good for such small speakers, with clear vocals, balanced mids, and decent bass. The sound is also fairly directional, so others around you won't hear much of what you're listening to. However, the Tenor are not without flaws. The battery life is only 5.5 hours, which is less than some wireless earbuds. The charging cable is proprietary, so you can't use a standard USB-C cable. The fit might be a bit tight and uncomfortable for people with larger head. And the biggest drawback is that the Tenor are not very effective in noisy environments, where the sound can get drowned out by the background noise. The Bose Frames Tenor are a niche product that appeal to a specific audience. They are great for people who want to enjoy some background music while being aware of their surroundings, such as when walking, biking, or relaxing outdoors. They are also stylish and discreet, and can be fitted with prescription lenses. But they are not meant to replace your regular headphones, and they are not suitable for loud environment. If you are looking for a pair of sunglasses that can also play music, the Bose Frames Tenor are worth considering. They offer a unique and enjoyable listening experience, as long as you are aware of their limitations. They are not perfect, but they are certainly innovative and fun.

Love these glasses! The sound is crisp (and can only be heard by others if it is super loud). They easily connect to my bluetooth. The style of the sunglasses are nice - they come with a large hard case that has a magnet closure. I use them every day and I only charge them once every 2 weeks. Durable

Really cool sunglasses! The best part about them is the audio in them and its not like your typical earbud where its noise canceling. Its more for walking around the park and still being able to hear whats going on around you. Even though my head is slightly too big for them i still love these, either for style or listening to music.
