Looking for sunglasses and earphones? Well, Bose has hit onto a niche proposition with the all-in-one Frames. They can't deliver headphone-quality audio due to lack of bass, but as a clear audio delivery for podcasts, audiobooks, phone calls and the odd tune, there's some appeal.

Fashionable design; Good audio quality; Multi-functional button is useful; Audio AR potential is good; Quick charging

Sound leakage; Feels odd to wear inside or when not sunny; Audio AR not fully realised yet; No battery charging from the case; Lack of bass; Battery life is limited

I usually wear ear pods but they can hurt my ears after a while. I used these glasses whilst I was trekking and not only are they great sun glasses, they're a fantastic audio device also. The frame itself is light weight, comes with a smart carry case. They charge using a cable and connector on the frame itself and charged really quickly, I'll add also the battery life is fantastic on the device. The audio quality of course, being Bose, is second to non - tried with many of my favourite tracks which all sounded great on the frames. The microphone is also clear when taking calls. Cannot fault them at all! I love these glasses!

I purchased by Bose Rondo glasses about a month ago to use while bicycling. As you should know, it is illegal (and unsafe) to ride using ear buds. Since I usually ride in a group, it is necessary to hear the commands and warnings of the other riders. I can easily hear those, while listening to my favorite riding music. Several of my friends have noticed my glasses and purchased their own. I realize that this is a 1st generation product, and different styles/features will appear. Since I use them while bicycling, it would be nice to have some volume control, since I cannot easily access my phone. Other than that...I give it an enthusiastic 5 stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product a week ago and it was truly amazing. Initially, I wondered how the frames would play music to me while not being in my ear, but I quickly found the amazing sound quality and could not stop using it. This product has become especially helpful when I am running or riding my bike and want to block the sun while listening to music. The design of the frames really intrigue me as they fit on snugly without wrapping around my ear. I have experienced no discomfort while using the product and am able to wear it for hours without any downsides. I would definitely recommend this product to another person, as I love it!

I sampled the glasses and discovered sound that was unbelievably phenomenal! I could not believe the delivery of sound without buds pressing in my ears. I had to take them off only to look at them a few times because I was simply mesmerized by what they delivered. While the sound is simply awesome, I would only ask Bose to improve the design of the frames to make them more appealing to guys who would prefer a more masculine look. While I don’t currently own a pair, yet, I have told friends and family to visit a Bose store and try ‘e-mail. Otherwise, this technology is right on target! Bose please send me a pair. I’d love that!

i’ve been using these for the past month and a half and they have proven to be quite useful in everyday life. i’m outside daily and i hate having wires dangling from my ears while i’m working and Apple Airpods don’t fit my ears quite right. this is the perfect balance because there are no wires and they don’t bother my ears. they look good and still function as sunglasses when not in use. i would like to see the ability to have prescription lenses put in as i have to wear my contacts with them now but i 100% recommend these to anyone who likes to listen to music in privacy with great quality without any obstruction of the ears.
