    Don't buy until BOSE fixes the hardware issue

    The Bose frames are not working after an year due to Hardware issues and Bose has no solution to fix or replace the frames. The Frames charge or play sounds only when the legs are closed and when you open it wear the electronics don't work. I would suggest NOT buying until Bose fixes this Hardware issue in their existing and newer models.

    The sound is great if you are not in a loud environment. The durability of the frames sucks though, I hate to say that. However with the geek squad protection,( and extra $40+ dollars each time I return them ) this will be pair # 4 I have had. They tend to break where the hinges connect to the frames.

    Have had 2 of these glasses fail. The folding and opening of the glasses is not designed well enough to handle the use. It stopped powering up or charging. Both pairs only worked for 4 months of normal use. Love them when they worked

    I love these bluetooth sunglasses. They are stylish, think wayfarer, and the sound quality is out of this world. I thought they would be too heavy for my face, but they are not. USB rechargeable and cool case . Also, people around you cannot hear the music or anything, even atanding right next to you. Cool

    I was weary about getting these but since they are made by Bose I decided that they would be worth it. they have a great sound to them. You can go to LensCrafters and get prescription lenses put in these too.

    I love these, so much! A complete game-changer for me while walking the dog, or on vacation as I walk the beach and listen to podcasts or music. However, after less than six months, they simply stopped working. Bose was good enough to fix them, at no charge. However, six months later, they don’t work again. They won’t turn on. I am thinking about buying another pair, in case I just got a lemon, but I’m not sure I want to spend the money, again.
