Bose Frames – Alto & Rondo – redefining sunglasses as you know them!

Until recently I didn’t even know this was possible, but Bose has done it. With Bose Frames – the Alto and the Rondo you get sunglasses with a soundtrack. They are the first audio sunglasses with built-in Bose speakers for an immersive audio experience unlike any other.

A revolutionary personal audio experience hidden inside two classic designs, each enriched with premium accents and materials. Play music, take calls, and enjoy the sun with UVA/UVB protection.  

Not only will you look stylish donning these Bose Frames but the list of all that they’re able to do will quite literally blow your mind.

• Sunglasses enhanced with Bose sound – Bose Frames Alto feature a classic angular shape, commanding lenses with a larger fit and immersive sound.
• Nothing in or on your ears – A new way to listen. Stay connected to the world around you while discreetly listening to music with a revolutionary open-ear audio design. 
• Sight and sound – Bose Frames with patented acoustic chambers and premium lenses are designed for sun and sound.  
• Built-in microphone – Make and take clear phone calls, access Siri and your Google Assistant with the seamlessly integrated microphone.  
• Uniformly tinted – Bose Frames block up to 99% of UVA/UVB rays.  
• Shatter- and scratch-resistant lens – Designed to survive life on the go.  
• One-button control – Power on and off, accept and reject calls, play and pause music, and access Siri or Google Assistant.  
• One app, complete control – The Bose Connect app gives you easy access to everything your product has to offer. Get tips, unlock Bose AR, and personalize your settings so you can spend more time enjoying the music instead of setting it up. Available on iOS and Android. 
• Bose AR enabled* – A first-of-its-kind audio augmented reality platform that makes astonishing new audio experiences possible. Combining the power of wearable audio products, mobile devices, and integrated apps, Bose AR can augment your world with content for your ears instead of your eyes.

Now if you’re like me you’re probably wondering how much the people around you will hear when you’re on a call or listening to music etc on your Bose Frames. I’m happy to report that while the audio sounds amazing for you, those around you they’re largely undisturbed by any of it due to these Bose Frames featuring technology that prevents sound from being heard by people nearby.

As mentioned, the Bose Frames come in the Alto; which offers a classic angular look with larger fit, and the Rondo; which is more distinct with rounded lenses and a smaller fit.

Both Frames are available at Best Buy at a cost of $199.99 each – order them online or pick up in a store near you.
