  • Like most AirPods owners, I love my headphones. They are convenient and sound great but sometimes, there are situations that call for something different. The Bose Tenor Frames Audio Sunglasses certainly are different and provide a unique perspective in the way we listen to audio. The real question is can these replace my AirPods?

    Note - These are similar to Bone Conduction in the way it feels when listening to music but the technology is different.

    This is perfect for us Marines we can walk and hear music (we can’t have air phones or answer calls and walk while in uniform) at the same time. My prayers have been answered, I can now wear my sunglasses (look cool, protect my eyes and listen to music while I’m uniform and working outside AND I CAN ANSWR CALLS WHILE WALKING IN UNIFORM ON INCOGNITO!!!) This is perfect !

      This makes me chuckle. I was in from 2002-2007.
      2002: You couldn’t have your cell phone with you while you were in uniform. Like, you couldn’t even have it in your pocket. If you got caught, you’d get chewed tf out.
      2007: You were expected to have your cell with you at all times (excluding PT). If you didn’t answer a call from your command, you’d get chewed tf out.

    I don't think these are meant to please anyone who's an audiophile (who should stick to studio quality cans), but only for those who want to get around, be immersed in their environment and yet have audio layered (but not inducted) in. But for those who get distracted easily when they can't hear something clearly, this is not for them, for safety reasons, even when walking. I enjoyed them but found that for the most time, I had the volume up at about 90%, and for that reason alone, I knew it won't meet my needs for a typical outdoor bike ride or run. The upside is that if I didn't mind the amount of loss, they wouldn't run the risk of popping out of my ears when riding, and disappearing into the dirt!
    PS: My Airpods Pro are fitted with custom foam earbuds, so they are pretty snug. I lose them usually when they slip from my hands! 😆

    I get your point completely about the advantages of smart glasses versus the discomfort of Airpods inside your ears. I have used the Amazon Echo Frames version 1 and version 2 and they are really appealing for precisely this issue. I am not a audiophile so the shortcomings in music quality don't concern me and the advantages of comfortable long term wear, with a smart voice assistant built in, far outweigh the negatives of the sound quality for music. I would love Apple to release smart glasses where you don't have to have Airpods-like devices stuck in your ears all day. I think a lot of people if they tried it would find it very appealing. There is definitely a market to cover this issue and I am sure Apple would nail it over Amazon if they bring out smart glasses

    I used to work as an apprentice optician at Lens Crafters. I would never purchase these. I’ve adjusted at least 1000 pairs of glasses and these look like a nightmare to adjust. My store would have most likely turned someone away if they asked us to adjust them. No matter how well you take care of any pair of glasses, they will always get loose over time. They have no nose pads and they’re heavier than a regular pair. So when they get loose they will be sliding down your nose A LOT more than a regular lighter pair of glasses. The arms can not be heated up and bent for a snugger fit because of the tech in the speakers. So they’d only be able to be bent in inward at the nose bridge. But overtime they will need to be bent at that one location that they will either snap, or they’ll lose their aesthetic appeal cause they would be bent into almost a V shape at the bridge. I guess the main use case I could think of is for motorcycle riders. Bluetooth speaker helmets are very expensive and helmets should be replaced after a year or so. And no matter how loose they get, the helmet will help them stay in place. Other than that these seem like a nightmare.
