Bose 851337-0100 Frames Soprano—Cat-eye Polarised Bluetooth Audio Sunglasses—Black

Product Information

Featuring polarised lenses, premium craftsmanship and Bose Open Ear Audio technology that produces sound you’d never expect from sunglasses. Without a visual component, many people thought Bluetooth audio sunglasses were a somewhat silly idea.

The Tenor and Soprano uses proprietary chargers, while the Tempo has a USB-C port for quicker charging. Hidden in each of the sunglasses’ temples are miniaturised Bose electronics, producing rich, immersive sound for the listener, while others hear virtually nothing. I know that I've never been able to get them to stay in my ears during any moderately strenuous physical activity. Like their predecessors, the three new Frames are great if you want to lie by the beach or pool and listen to music, or enjoy your tunes while on a walk, run or hike. Media playback functions Use the button on the right temple to control all media playback functions.You'll find the speaker grilles in the middle of the arms on the Frames, positioned just before they slim down to tuck in behind the ear. Performance can be affected by obstacles such as walls or metal, interference from Wi-Fi® or other wireless devices and device manufacturers’ Bluetooth implementations. While only select optometrists in the US offered lens options for the Rondo and Alto, any good optometrist should be able to swap out the original lenses in the Tempo, Tenor and Soprano. There’s no avoiding this one – the Frames aren’t adjustable (even with the extra nose clamps the Tempo comes with), so if you’ve got a slightly larger head, the fit will be very, very uncomfortable. Wearing any of the new Frames models is an interesting experience – despite their large appearance, they’re fairly light and don’t weigh down on your nose.

Revolutionary Bose Open Ear Audio design lets you hear your music and interact with the world around you—at the same time. Bose Frames also keep track of the last eight devices to have paired and connected with them, dropping the least recently used when a new one is paired.

One thing you’ll immediately notice about the Frames, however, is just how thick the arms are, but there's no way around that issue. Redesigned for luxury — Thoughtfully refined and strikingly elegant, the latest Bose sunglasses blend enhanced features and designs for an elevated way to listen. Polarized lenses — These music sunglasses include shatter- and scratch-resistant polarized lenses to reduce glare, enhance visibility, and block 99% UVA/B rays. This feature was not available in the previous generation of Bose Frames and is a welcome addition this time round. Unfortunately, unlike most of our other go-to wireless headphones, Bose does not provide a rechargeable carrying case.

Touch controls are available for volume adjustment – again, on the right arm – with swipes forward and backward allowing you to decrease and increase volume respectively.The Frames comes in two polarized lens styles (the more colourful of which is sold as an optional extra) that are fairly easy to pop out and swap around should you desire. Considering these aren't dedicated audio devices, this is reasonable – we don’t expect to wear sunglasses for extended periods of time, so with intermittent use you can make them last for quite a while. With their large lenses and delicately sloped browline, Bose Frames Soprano style provide a dash of retro glamour in an elegant update to cat-eye glasses. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . But the build feels less premium than the two everyday sunnies and the arms are so thick, they don't quite fit everyone.

They play fuller, deeper and longer than the original version too, with the rechargeable battery now offering up to 5.
