Bought the glasses in 02/2020 and enjoyed using them for podcasts while on bike rides, drives or just outdoor activities in general. You won't be getting these to compete with in-the-ear/over-the-ear speakers. It's not what they are made for. Battery life is okay for my use and got around 3 hours on a full charge. Had charging issues 1.5 months in. Worked around the issue by warming the glasses around 80F. Seems like the battery doesn't like cold temperatures around 40-50F. Battery issue is a common problem with these glasses according to the Bose support forum and my from my own experience. Called support and luckily there's a 1 year warranty on them. Support was fantastic and quick at starting the replacement on them. Are they worth the price? Only because I'm getting a free replacement within a year of use I would say yes and the fact that I do use them on a daily basis and was consistently getting my 3 hours of use. If the warranty was only 90 days, then no. Something that costs around $250 with polarized lenses should last around 2 years at a minimum if taken care of properly. That's just going by the understanding that electronics with small batteries in them don't last. I'm guessing that the battery inside is a LiPo battery. If you get these and don't use them regularly, the battery will discharge below it's recommended voltage and you'll start having more problems. For now, it's a good choice over regular Oakley glasses I normally would use. I would have given it a better rating if they used a battery that was less susceptible to cold temperatures.

I would like to give it 5 stars but I have to be honest. This is the 3rd Bose Frame and still reviewing it up to now to see if it will last longer this time. 1st one stopped turning on and 2nd one turns on but will not function anymore. Both were returned and replaced by Bose. Customer Service is very responsive even given that we are all in a pandemic situation.
The sound is great and clear, wish it could be louder and volume could be adjusted using the frame. I use it for work on Zoom Meetings and works great.

For the price BOSE can do a little bit better, the frame not the best quality, but they don’t feel cheap! The speaker and the technology works amazing is so smooth you can turn your BOSE frames and they connect right away.
I use this glasses when I’m going biking and is the best purchase I have made, giving them only a 4 start just because the quality is not the best the lenses are not polarized.
RayBan should team up with BOSE and built a sexy pair of quality sunglasses!!
But for now this are a great purchase.

I need to replace the lenses, and when I do these glasses will get much more use. Good for listening to music or podcasts while sitting outside reading under a deck umbrella.
Excellent sound quality.
One drawback is that the arms of the frames are a bit bulky where the speaker and battery are, so don't expect that you're fooling anyone into thinking these are regular old RayBans for more than a passing glance.
They pair easily and the battery life, so far, seems good.

I loved the glasses. I was expecting it to be a little bit louder but i guess it's not directly in your ear so it doesn't sound super loud. I love using it to the beach since i bought the polarized lens and an extra set as well! The only thing that i don't like is that the charge last for maybe about 2-2.5 hours. Overall this is an excellent and unique product

great pair of shades plus the ability to take phone calls and listen to music. Indoors the sound quality is good and loud. its a cool ambient kind of thing, like as if life has a soundtrack. Outdoors I find in noisy windy situations it can be hard to hear, not so good for phone calls. If you wear a hoodie the acoustics get much better. Definitely impressed my friends with the cool factor. Would I buy it again in hindsight? Absolutely.

These are amazing, not only for the sound quality, but also the sunglasses part. Comes with a convenient carrying case and charger. Highly recommend! The only issue is that they have a known issue of failing to work while the arms are open, but will work if the arms are shut. I had to exchange mine because of this issue.

Glasses fit perfectly and do not fall. I love wearing for runs (don’t have to worry about AirPods falling or dealing with dangling Earpods).
Audio is perfect but has no volume control on glasses themselves (need to adjust on linked device). Lense are ok, and wouldn’t rely on them being high quality UV protection (use with sun hat).
