As someone who had the Bose Frames when they came out I think the JBLs are a marked improvement in build quality and battery life, though I think the sound quality is about the same. I think the use case for the speakers is pretty niche, but I just so happen to fit that niche.
Oh, very nice. Not sure we ever got those in NZ. Genuinely curious, what is that niche you have? I couldn't think of one where I'd use these over my earbuds. But that's me I guess.
@@TheTechShed1 JB Hi-Fi sold the Bose ones back in the before times. I find glasses like these really handy for having background music on but also maintaining spatial awareness, like driving a car that doesn’t have Bluetooth, for instance.
Got a pair and changed the lens to those transition type lens so I can use them indoors and outdoors, tried it at the gym, works great

Any reliable websites to buy them and who does prescription lenses on them
In the US? I have no idea sorry.
Good for doing the gardening. That's about all.
Just ordered a pair, always Geting told off at work for wearing headphones… these should do the trick 😂
@@MissionMitchAdventures nice. Let's hope you don't work indoors. That'd look a bit odd.
oh man, good video, the gadget its so cool (Y)
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
They don’t sell them in the United States wonder why
Not sure... you do get other JBL stuff there right?
I do traffic control and we’re not allowed to have headphones or earplugs on while we’re working. These will be bloody great to help pass the time.
I think that's probably the best use case I've heard so far. These will be great for that.
I tried this in stores. They were so disappointing
So so quiet and the sound is bad
@zijielim4652 yeah not the best. i just always used my earbuds. Ended up using these as sunglasses.
Well so meta raybans still wins
Unfortunately I haven't managed to get my hands on those yet. However, from what I've seen and read, I do think you're correct.
@@TheTechShed1 every time I use them I'm surprised how they managed to do such a good product lol
