Sunglasses With a Soundtrack

- What's going on everybody? I hope that you're having a good day wherever in the world you are. What if I told you I got something brand new that I have literally never seen before. These are the Bose Frames. And usually when you think about Bose you think of headphones, bluetooth speakers, or sound bars.
Sunglasses might not come to the top of your mind, but Bose is getting in the sunglass game, but obviously with some smart tech.

Features

So, obviously, they're sunglasses that you wear but they're also Bluetooth headphones, you can also make phone calls with them, you can listen to music.
It's sunglasses with like a soundtrack. I know that these were shown
like in super early concept at South by Southwest

There are two versions Alto and a Rondo.

Inside the Box

Looking straight on, they look like, you know, sunglasses. On the side there, you can definitely see that there is some battery and electronics going on in there. In the little pouch, let's see what else we got. We got, charging cable, and it
is a magnetic charging cable to charge your sunglasses, so let's put these suckers on.

Tech Inside

So the general idea is that you need to wear sunglasses and you gotta make phone calls, listen to music. You don't have to carry two things, you don't have to charge two things, you just have your sunglasses and they can do it all. So, they do look like normal sunglasses, but again, definitely on the side you can see that there is a little bit of, a little bit of chunk happening there for all the electronics. I should also mention this is gonna do, at some point, some sort of augmented reality type stuff. So like, you can, they're talking to me. So, I could look at, like
an Italian restaurant, I can tap the button and it will tell me like the hours of operation, or how long the wait is, that kind of features are coming. 

First Impressions

they're sunglasses, so they gotta hit a couple of things first. They have to be comfortable and they do feel comfortable on my face. I don't have like the
biggest face in the world. They're available in small or large.  I tried listening to music, and you know, being Bose you would expect the audio fidelity to be good.
It sounds really good, I mean, it almost sounds like I have headphones on, but obviously I can hear everything around me. So the one caveat if you're
wearing these indoors, people will be able to hear your conversation or your music, but if you're outdoors, it actually tends to kind of blur into the background noise, so. It is nice to put on a pair of sunglasses and walk around and be able to make phone calls. There is one button, which will pull up Siri or Google Assistant,
and that worked really well.
