Customer Ratings & Reviews

These have good sound quality and battery life. I wear for jogging outdoors and bike rides.

Not bad sound. Design is a little big. They are fairly new and hope new designs will follow.

I really wanted to love these. I am a glasses/contact wearer and my day started in glasses. After wearing the Alto Audio Sunglasses briefly in the store then a again at home, I began to get a headache. I thought the headache was due to eye strain caused by wearing the glasses without my vision being corrected with contacts. I set the glasses aside to charge, my headache resolved, then came back to play with them with my contacts on. I love the retro look of the frames. These particular frames are on the big side, but I like the oversize look. The sound is decent. Phone calls were clear for me however, my friend did complain of static on her end. I wanted to try them out for a couple days to see how its goes, but after a short time, I began to get another headache which got worse the longer I wore the glasses. Unfortunately, putting different lens in the frames are not an option as doing this will void the warranty. I will be returning these to the store. :(

As someone who loves music but also always has a pair of sunglasses on this was the perfect invention. Sound quality is surprisingly good for a pair of sunglasses. Only problem I have with these is the screws that connect the arms to the frames became very loose very quickly. Poor construction quality stick to headphones Bose.

Review for Bose Frames Alto If you look at my other reviews, I don’t typically gush about new tech, but I think Bose is really onto something here. I’ve tried my share of Bluetooth headsets, over-the-ear headphones, ear buds, “truly wireless” earbuds, et al, but none can compare to the unique experience of these sunglasses! First, they look cool! They also come in another style called Rondo — think Harry Potter round and for smaller heads — but having a larger head, I found these fit just fine. These are sunglasses. They come with evenly tinted (non-polarized) lenses. Bose is also offering gradient blue and mirrored pink (bonus: polarized!) replacement lenses. Audio: hard to describe without trying it, but SO much better than you might guess for having nothing in your ears! You can be listening to music, talking on the phone, getting directions (yes!) and still be aware of your surroundings. The audio is sharp and clear, even the bass is decent! Voice commands: easily integrates with Siri and Google. I did find the Siri command slow to respond. Phone calls: Simple to make or take calls. Incoming calls even announce the caller by name! Bose AR: Augmented Reality. Better than Pokemon dancing on a table, audio AR allows for a (growing) suite of apps that offer directions, play games, and respond to your head gestures, like yes and no. So seamless! Some of my other observations: The Bose Connect app is really essential to enjoy the Bose Frames. It allows for easy connection to not only AR apps, but also to a great list of radio stations and podcasts. It’s almost retro to think of listening to the radio on your sunglasses, but I found it really enjoyable while walking the dog! Battery life is not huge (3-4 hours depending on listening and phone usage), but recharging them is easy with the magnetic charging cable. Overall, I really like the way they fit, look, and sound. They are my go-to listening device for sunny days. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the lenses photochromic (like Transition® lenses) so I could wear them inside too!

Bought these for my son. He wears them outside all the time. Wore them at Disney and loved it. Sound is terrific.

By farvthe best Bluetooth glasses out there. Graet audio quality and still look good. Definitely recommend.

Very nice bday gift for my nephew. Paired with his phone immediately so very easy to use. Sound on phone calls was high quality.

Very nice. The Battery life is great, they're light and quick to charge. Perfect for bike riding.

Great product just need to make them so they dont slide off your face as easily

The glasses are kind of cheap but the speakers sound great.

It works good just the battery wish it would last a bit longer

Love the style and fit and being able to wear them outside and still be able to hear everyone around me.

This things are great and sound even better. Wish the lens were polarized but they are not but other than that great product

Theses glasses are great quality and sounds great. I broke a pair while i was moving, I had to buy another pair.

These are awesome glasses, Music is clear but just need to figure out if you can get prescription lens for them

Honestly, these are the best (in my opinion). Keeps your ears open, and helps you hear your surrounding area.

The souls on these sunglasses is phenomenal. Besides that the sunglasses feel comfortable

These are the best speaker blue tooth wireless sunglasses and I would highly recommend them to anyone

These Bose audio sunglasses are amazing! Can listen to music and still hear people speaking to me. Excellent product.
