Amazing sound at a decent price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sound in these glasses. People can’t believe that I’m listening to music because you can’t really hear it when you aren’t wearing them. They have great sound when you have them on. The lens in glasses aren’t that great but overall a very innovative product. Highly recommend!

Best purchase of the year!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing. I work in retail and not allowed to wear headphones or earbuds at work. I went to glassesusa.com and got prescription lenses in these. Now I have my own background music whenever I want! No one notices thanks top the subtle lack of branding. They also look great.

Best Product I bought from Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item has replaced my beats by Dre for the most part. I was able to put my medical lenses in them and all is great in the world. It may lack in heavy bass, but it exceeds in clear crisp sound. I can’t wait til they go sale to get more.

Hands-free heaven
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s great to be able to drive down the road and just touch your glasses and not have something hanging in your ear and having that wonderful Bose stereo sound the only problem is that they slide down my nose a little and I wish there was a way to take care of that

Limited lense options
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money you pay there should be various lense choices. I can’t wear them at work bc they are shades. I would like clear lenses. Clear is available for Rx eyeglass wearers. Overall Bluetooth is okay. Need to improve functionality to use features such as turning your head to to increase the volume.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionSince these glasses do not accommodate prescription lenses, are they large enough to be worn over a pair of prescription glasses?
Asked by JPG3019.
- A:Answer I went to Sams Club optical and they put My prescription in the Bose glasses
Answered by Glass
Q: QuestionWhat does “Rated for resistance to water” really mean? What if they fall in to the pool. Can you wear them in the pool or at the beach? Thank you’
Asked by Shelley.
- A:Answer Hello Shelley, thanks for taking the time to ask a question about our Frames! The IPX2 rating for this product means that these are not water or sweat resistant, but offer protection against limited, short term exposure to water (such as splashing). As such, if taking these to the beach we would advise that you keep these away from the water to avoid any damage to the electronics. We hope this clears this up for you!

Q: QuestionCan I get the glasses prescribed
Asked by TJ.
- A:Answer Yes, I’ve done it and I love it! Battery life isn’t great but keep in mind that these are sunglasses first and foremost. So as sunglasses, the battery life is good, but as glasses you find yourself charging it every day for sure. I’ve only had two people realize they were Bose Frames and I’ve had them for 3/4 months now. Because they are sunglasses the frames are big, so just make sure the frames would fit your face nicely since you’ll be wearing them on a regular basis. Answering phone calls, playing music, and talk assist make it worth the trouble of getting prescribed lenses. Now I should warn you that getting any lenses that aren’t made by Bose will void the warranty (Bose does not make prescription lenses). Overall, I’ve been very happy about my purchase, can’t complain about the battery life since I’m using it more than what they intended for. There’s a small button on the frames that if you tap once, you’ll answer a phone call on the frames or play/pause track. Click it two times to skip song or three to go back a track. Hold on to it for a second and that’ll bring up talk assist (Hey Google, Siri, etc.) They is no volume button unfortunately so you’d have to use your phone to play with the volume. If you have a smart watch it’s much more convenient to control the volume there.

Q: QuestionI want to know how many devices can be paired to bose frame at the same? can it pair pair 2 or more devices and receive and make calls from either of them?
Asked by bonaa.
- A:Answer You can pair them with up to eight (8) devices - but it will only connect to one device at a time. When powered on, it will seek the last paired device, and if it can't 'find' it, it will go to the next device in the 'list.'
