Bose Frames Tempo Bluetooth Sports Sunglasses with Polarized Lenses, Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I currently own the Bose Alto sunglasses, which I am very happy with, however they are not designed for sport or activity, as they are a looser fit. I usually use my Oakley Sunglasses paired with by Bose SoundSport Free headphones for running, however when I saw this, I felt I had to try this as an option. offering removable lenses (Same as Alto) and a USB-C Charging standard, these were adaptable and unique, being able to control the music by swiping the right arm is very convenient, on top of that the accessibility to Siri/google by touching the arm is brilliant. My Initial Impressions when opening the box were very positive - The glasses come in a hard glasses case, which has a pouch for the USB-C Cable included and lenses cleaner. within the box there was also a selection of varying size nose tips, enabling them to be altered to suit your nose shape/size. Setting up is very straight forward, its as simple pressing the button on the arm, Download the Bose Music App and the app does the rest. The Sound is amazingly clear and crisp, providing a true surround sound atmosphere. being able to hear singing from both sides (Similar to Dolby Surround Sound). The way the music submerges you into the acoustics draws you in, You still have hearing of your surrounding if your near a road etc, which is key when I was out running and when crossing the road, all other noises from outside get minimised. The sound is comparable if not better than my SoundSport Free's (Which I will still use for gym work as sunglasses in the gym, look a bit daft...) The lenses it comes with which are polycarbonate mirrored black polarised lenses are comparable to my Oakley lenses, which were at a similar price point, without the audio, so easily a good positive, along with the fact, if they get scratched or damaged they can be easily and cheaply replaced (In comparison to competitors). When using these in anger whilst out running and cycling (The only activities I have done with them on) The arms hold firm on the sides, preventing excess movement , The nose pieces which can be changed provide comfort over the nose. In comparison to my Oakley glasses the lenses are identical, That along with the sound quality and option built in to these mean these are truly the best pair of Sunglasses I own, I am now selling my Oakley's as I don't have a use for them.... Should you buy them? Obviously this is my personal opinion, however if you in the market for sunglasses you can wear for activity and want the added benefit of being able to listen to amazing quality music, without anything in your ears, then yes, without a doubt. If your not sure then just trying these at a shop will sell it to you, listening to something immersive will sell the product as soon as you try them on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried these bluetooth glasses as an alternative to earbuds and on-ear phones. The sound is surprisingly good through the innovative speakers that project into your ears, although it is even better when you cup your hands over them, which suggests some improvements could be made potentially using drop down cups? Firstly these glasses solved a problem for me in that I don't like earbuds or things sticking in my ears. I enjoyed the final days of sunshine sitting outside with the glasses on. On the downside though, the lenses are quite dark making it difficult to see my iphone to change music. Also they are only of use in the sun so I have no need for them until the spring now. They are easy to set up and connect to your phone with just one button which acts as a connect button and also pause/resume and if you take them off and place them upside down, they automatically turn off which saves battery. If you place them right way up, they don't turn off which again is a useful feature. There is a volume control on the side of one arm which is operated by sliding your finger along it. I struggle to make this work though so adjust the volume from my iPhone. The following enhancements would be nice: - reactolite or adjstable / replacement lenses - an EQ option on the app - a less fragile feel to the glasses, for example a bit more flex or rubberiness on the arms and frame I think the price is far too high for the limited use of these glasses so I will be passing them on.
