About this deal

Making and receiving calls are simple and clear, the caller could hear me with no issues and i could hear them perfectly clear. There’s also considerable audio leakage at volume levels higher than 60%, so if you’re sitting near someone, they’ll be able to hear tinny sounds emanating from your sunglasses and, unfortunately, you'll need them at full volume to enjoy them over the sounds of public transport. The Frames Tempo redefine sport sunglasses — crushing their limitations entirely. Made from TR90, they’re durable, lightweight, and flexible to withstand extreme temperatures and extreme training. They use custom-designed spring hinges and TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) temple tips for comfortable stability around the head. And their nose pads come in three shapes for the right amount of grip to avoid slipping down the face. During marathons and triathlons, on the water, off-road, or at high speeds down steep declines, they don’t move, shake, or shift when you do. Tenor and Soprano are scratch- and shatter-resistant with an extended battery life of 5.5 hours through an included, custom pogo-pin charger. Their lenses can be easily changed with different options: Mirrored Blue and Silver for Tenor, Rose Gold and Purple-fade for Soprano. With their large lenses and delicately sloped browline, Bose Frames Soprano style provide a dash of retro glamour in an elegant update to cat-eye glasses.

On the other hand, the Tenor and Soprano have 16mm drivers, and the sound is still quite enjoyable. These two models aren't quite as loud as the Tempo – at 50% volume, the Tempo was more than sufficient on a riverside walk with squawking birds and chatting strollers, while we needed to up the volume on the Soprano to about 65% to enjoy our tunes. The first Bose Frames stunned the industry and owners alike — and the new Tenor and Soprano are better in almost every way. There's a major difference in sound quality and loudness between the Tempo and the two everyday sunnies. Again, given the Tempo has been designed for athletes, they benefit from 22mm drivers in each arm and the sound is surprisingly bassy. Mind you, it's not like listening to music on dedicated headphones or earphones, but it's still quite impressive. I’ve used them once, running, with music playing and a fitness coaching app give voice commands on top, the voice came through very fuzzy and distorted- l’ve not had problems with the EarPods which I normally use, I’ve not had the opportunity to try them again due to the inclement British weather to see if this was just a one off issue. Bose Corporation is privately held. The company’s spirit of invention, passion for excellence, and commitment to extraordinary experiences can be found around the world — everywhere Bose does business.Sound quality for music is really good, and surprisingly seems to be all directed to your ears as people around you can barely hear it unless you have the volume up really high. September 10, 2020 — Bose today announces three new Frames — each combining the protection and style of premium sunglasses with the functionality of premium headphones in one revolutionary wearable. Where we did genuinely enjoy using the Frames Tenor was poolside. It’s great to be able to have music chiming in your ears while wearing sunglasses and not having to balance headphones as well. Mind you, the Frames Tenor and Soprano are only rated as IPX2 water resistant, so while they’ll survive a light splash, don’t let them fall into water.

It starts with the fit, fully refined from the original Bose sunglasses to match a wide range of face shapes. It continues with the lightweight, smooth-as-silk nylon frame, both lushly comfortable and decidedly durable. Tenor is a smaller, square style; Soprano is a subtle cat eye. In both, every angle, material, and component was carefully chosen and skillfully crafted for higher quality, improved appearance, and supreme comfort — all the more remarkable given their designs house and hide all the electronics, including two 16 mm speakers. What you wear and see are gorgeous sunglasses — from the precise balance of weight on the head and resistance in the hinges, to the curves of the bridge and ultra-high-gloss finish. Bose Corporation was founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar G. Bose, then a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Today, the company is driven by its founding principles, investing in long-term research to develop new technologies with real customer benefits. Bose innovations have spanned decades and industries, creating and transforming categories in audio and beyond. Bose products for the home, in the car, on the go, and in public spaces have become iconic, changing the way people listen to music. Frames Tempo are built to last in more ways than one. They can fit under most protective helmets, are sweat-, weather-, scratch-, and shatter-resistant, and have up to 8 hours of battery life through an included standard USB-C charging cable. The lenses are polycarbonate with visible light transmission of 12%. And optional lenses are also available: Road Orange has a 20% VLT medium-light lens to reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and snow; Trail Blue has a 28% VLT low-light lens to increase contrast and definition in bright-sun conditions; Twilight Yellow has a 77% VLT very low-light lens for use at dusk. The new Frames Tempo deliver the best performance in the Frames line up and are engineered specifically for outdoor workouts — like biking, running, and climbing. The Frames Tenor and Soprano are for everyday use with improved style, design, and acoustics over the original. Both feature Bose proprietary Open Ear AudioTM technology and the tiniest, thinnest, most invisible Bose speaker systems ever. The result is a breakthrough in mobile audio: immersive sound from eyewear — not earbuds.

That’s the difference, a revolutionary Bose Open Ear Audio™ design that frees you from headphones so you can hear and interact with the world around you, all while discreetly listening to music for a jaw-dropping experience that only you’re aware of. But what you hear is equally impressive: Tenor and Soprano have noticeably better bass response so playlists are reproduced with more depth and detail. That said, it’s important we remain realistic with our expectations of the Frames. They are certainly not designed to isolate the outside world, or even replace standard headphones. So they’re not the best mix for noisy environments – you’ll want to keep to regular noise cancelling cans instead. On public transport they produce mixed results – we could hear announcements being made, but we couldn’t listen to our normal podcast over the chatter in the carriage. Even in a relatively empty bus, the sound of the engine was enough to drown out the Soprano at full volume.
