Overall 5/10, needs tweaks before highly rated
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these in the spring, so I've had them long enough to give real feedback. The look of the glasses is really cool. I get compliments on the all the time. I love the charging cable. Love that hassle free, magnetic connection. The sound is like a 7/10. They sound good and I love being able to go hands free when exercising or just shooting a few basketball shots, but they need to have a higher peak level. Especially on phone calls they need more power in the drivers for these to be viable outside a quiet setting like an office or at home. Here is where things kinda go south: 1) Fitment: they're way too tight behind the ear. At first it was great but if I wear these for more than 15 minutes I start to get headaches. Maybe I have a large head but they squeeze and its unbearable. 2) Fitment (2): there's no way to adjust them. The part that hooks behind the ear doesn't curl down far enough to prevent the classic slide down when I look down. I tried to take them to an eyeglass place and they said they wont adjust them because they don't want to damage the electronics in the heat machine. It's a hassle to get them to fit right. Maybe they could have an adjustment point on the back of the arms or make that part out of metal. Not sure the correct fix for that. 3) Durability. This is the big one; they just stopped working about 3 weeks ago. They won't turn on. It wasn't water, it wasn't dust. I casually wear these and keep them in the case. Took them out of the case and they just didn't turn on. I'm looking into the warranty. Very disappointed they didn't even last a year. So definitely need a V2 with these very basic issues addressed as far as I'm concerned. It's a great concept and has lots of potential but with such a fast failure rate
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose
Posted .Hello!
It's great to hear how much you've been enjoying the looks and sound of your Frames. I'm glad you're a fan of the magnetic charging cable as well.
Thanks for your suggestions on what you would like to see added to the Frames in the future, we always love to hear your feedback and suggestions on what can make the Frames even better for you.
If your Frames are no longer turning on, then they may not be receiving enough power from the charger you have connected the cable to. Check the steps shown here to make sure the Frames are charging correctly. https://bose.life/38w2wr7 Should you need any help after doing this, please do reach out to us directly as we'd love to help! https://bose.life/2P7Tuqt

Too cool
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these glasses, they are so cool. The sound is so crisp and clear. I love that there’s nothing directly in you ear. They are very loud but not too loud. I was concerned that the mic wouldn’t pick up & I would have to yell for ppl to hear me. I’m heard very well. My only complaint is I wish the battery lasted longer.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love, love, love my new Bose Sunglasses. They are so kewl. The sound is perfect for me and connectivity was smooth. I downloaded the app and I made some adjustments in the settings so when they’re not in use they’ll shut off. This allows for extended battery life. Awesome, looking forward to getting the colored lenses. Only thing is I wish they where bejeweled. Lol.
