Bose Frames Review: The Headphones of the Future Are... Sunglasses | WSJ 

Sounds cool just wish he would've spoken more to the sound quality beyond noise leakage. Weird when audio product reviews neglect actually mentioning the audio.....

Agree with you about air pods looking bad, but wearing sunglasses inside is just as bad!

I use mine all the time now. Since I wear prescription eyeglasses I sent to a place online and they made custom lenses for them. I now use them for everything

I’ve had a pair of these for a few months now. Great sound. Surprisingly little sound leakage. Only two styles and the Rondo are slightly narrower across the bridge so for those of you with a narrow ish nose you’ll either only have the option of the round frames or, as I did as I didn’t like them, you’ll need to buy some stick on nose pads to stop the Altos slipping off. Although I really like these glasses I honestly couldn’t recommend them as the charging cable is unique to the glasses. Lose it and the glasses are just an expensive and chunky pair of well, sunglasses. Bose should sell extra leads but they don’t so you have to go via customer services and we all know how much fun that usually is. A silly choice and a USB port for charging would have made these an ideal buy.

lol, imagine using them on a phone call in public. That would be so weird 😂

I was doubtful about how often I use it but bought it anyway to do a short YT review. Turns out Iike it a lot more than I thought and am using it almost every morning on the commute to work! There is something to be said about freedom of having something in the ears! Good points David!

Great video and great points. The other major point that I plan on making a video about is how open ear headphones are also great if you have tinnitus. Which it to say you will not be as exposed to as much deep bass with open air headphones. Trust me. You do not want tinnitus. I highly recommend AfterShokz Air headphones if glasses are not your thing.

Right, so, basically... always wearing sunglasses, including indoors and/of during winter is not rediculous, as apposed to wearing earbuds? Right.

They do this with just normal glasses too?

You can do that with the Apple pro air buds it’s called transparency hearing

This would be great for blind people, only add a sensor notification when ever an object is nearby to alert.

I don't know why but I feel like I am watching the verge.

Not reeeaaalllyyy AR sunglasses though, thumbnail is a bit clickbaity

👍 Great report! Be interesting to see where this goes...! 😎

The real question is, can I get prescription on them?

Thats horrible comparing it head to head with wireless earphones. So, how about when you're indoor? Unless you wanna just wear it all day all night anywhere. Thats a different product not a replacement to your wireless earphones.smh

Almost brought this, but when I found out that it has a 3 hours battery life and 3 hours to recharge.... Frighten me off.

how to make secret agent glasses: take the bose frames design for adio and integrate a more compact google glass design with speakers facing outwards to cancel noise by emmiting reversed sound waves canceling your voice and background noise for quiet and private conversation. considering how old google glass is now it’s perfectly possible to make a more compact version for holigram glasses and such. you could also use a type of glass on the outside of the lens that blocks green light and only use green light. all of this could be locked unless a certain password is spoken and erase the contents should anyone try breaking into it... i feel like this is already a thing because at this point it would be stupid for there not to be among spies and stuff.

Do you wear them indoors & at night?

I saw this today at Best Buy and I try them out it’s so awesome 😊

So it’s like Zungle bone conductive sunglasses/frames? Except it uses regular audio that can still b heard? With the extra sensor features it’s almost as cool as the zungle brand

To make phone calls requires to add another phone line just like with a watch?

Good luck using these in the UK

which navigating app is he talking about?

If only there was a way to replace the lenses with prescription lens

I wear sunglasses all the time. What’s the quality of the lenses?

he said who wants to wear ear buds all the time but who tf gonna wear sunglasses all the time

Am i the only one who wants to know which city this was filmed?

Cool stuff

I saw them at Walmart and Yoo !!! Best thing ever

Bruh you really had electric toothbrush heads in your ears 😂

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ru-vid.comUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

I honestly never thought airpods look bad and I think it’s a bit too subjective

Take out the lens n replace them with prescriptions

"The New New Thing" yet again.

Your information is incredibly unique.

They would need to be Prescription lenses

I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

Wsj is a large company, there must be a better role for David behind the camera. I am cringing whenever he reviews or introduces a product.

So it's glasses and a pair of headphones.

3:11 At night he would have walked straight into the pond wearing those!

Sound quality?

We don’t need people who wear earphones all the time. We need people who wear sunglasses all the time. :p

A review with no word on sound quality!? Seriously, unacceptable. This means they must sound terrible

These solve no real world problems. If you want spatial awareness while walking around or at work, then bone conducting headsets from After Shokz such as their excellent Trekz Air, is the solution. A couple of different sunglass model may or may not fit for comfort and appearance. Not to mention that many people wear corrective lenses or PPE.

Don't look at the motif on the wall at 2:22

3:10 so what are those people doing in the back?

Doesn't something like this already exist?

But what if it's night ?😂🤣🤣

You look better with AirPods than the glasses

I want one

So novel. Alexa, play sunglasses at night.

They would make me look more awesome. No, they wouldn't. I need no help.

Paid for by Bose.

This is awesome!

Nice!

Rip joana stern?

You can just start using airpods as soon as you get into the car. Oh wait you are Gona switch to these glasses. Plus not taking your word coz "Taylor Swift “ seriously!!? Gofyoself!!

Cool..

Not AR.

definitely not AR.

That banana republic shirt! 👍

Next step. Custom glasses frames.

I like

Watch hundred of these glasses be at the bottom of lakes!

Smart advertising ☺️

No they are not.

Toothbrush??? My toothbrush doesn’t look like that

i disliked the video when he said he's listening to the new taylor swift song

All I wanna know is.... are these babies polarized? 🤣

Consumer electronics have gotten only marginally better the past 5 years. I still prefer my wired headphones over Bluetooth.

Jedis Christ is the only way to heaven

Nice, cool gadget. 👍

Oakley had something similar 15 years ago.

Headphones 🙄

Totally idiotic product. “It’s great to have a computer in your ear.” Yeah dude, totally, as you stroll around SF on your Bird scooter listening to a computer tell you how many stars the restaurant you’re zooming by has... as you get mauled by a truck because of your augmented reality experience. What a disturbed society.

lol Ya got a ways to go before your look awesome.

😎😎😎

How "awesome" do they make you look on a rainy day?

What is the real shit tho?

Airpods are stupid. So are those sunglasses

Looks like a home run product! I’d like to get a pair!

Dear Wall Street Journal, Let's not and say we did. You may not hear sirens, firetrucks or police coming near. While we're at it, let's not *ever* have a nice and friendly conversation with any random human being *ever* again. 😒 *" Oops sorry bro, this one goes in you're mouth, and that one in you're ear"* - 😲 Quote from the movie "Idiocracy" 🎬🎥 Peace ✌

I wonder which Taylor Swift song he was listening too?

dumb idea

radiation?

something new for china to clone

Second

So, I wear sunglasses all day in my house? I will stick with noise canceling Bose headphones.

Not first but Tati and James Charles.

My opinion review: No, they’re not.

I need my bass
