Fair and direct as always, Mr. Mobile. Always a treat to watch your reviews. As for the shades, color me skeptical. This seems like a neat $200 party trick, not much more.
i bought them the day after this review when bose had retail stores. Ive broken 3 pairs and ive got 3 new pairs overnighted. They are an essential item. A gimmick still but do yourself a favour and pick them up. The Suprise never goes away!
I bought my Altos back earlier this year and I love them! I actually took them into my optometrist and had my prescription lens installed into them. They are even better and I use them way more then just outside. I use them at my work desk and just jam away to music while working! Great product!!
@@NomadTiff I actually got them about a week ago and yes they can hear you if they are close enough to you but no sound quality complaints from the person on the other end
I just got mine, and at 75% or so, I've been told by my wife, that she can hear faint music but she wouldn't be able to determine where it's coming from.
Judging by the form factor and the way they're built I'd say that other people would be able to hear what you listen to. It's not like bone induction or anything. It's just a speaker above your ear...
Thank you for your honest approach in every single video Mr. Mobile, that's so refreshing, especially compared to the vast majority of reviewers out there. Kudos!
Couldn't trust to see other reviews until you posted! Now can fairly judge what's or who's right!! Your reviews are great and one of a kind... Hoping to see great reviews ahead!!
I am amazed with every video you upload your way of talking and the words you say always amazes me with their simplicity and their effect and meaning You are the only reviewer that I enjoy getting information about tech from Thank you 🤳👌👌✌
Hello, Mrmobile. I speak with you from Bolivia. I have a question: here, the cost of the huawei mate20 is $ 570, the galaxy note 9 of 128 GB costs $ 750, the OP6 of 128 GB costs $ 605 and the OP6t of 128 GB costs $ 760, which you recommend and for what?.
I love what be says at the end of his video... He's basically saying " he's not a sell out , so with that being said all his reviews are 100% his own personal opinion " you don't find tech reviewers like that anymore. Keep it up bud
Hello super Review, I have a question? If you had to decide to buy headphones which of the three would you buy or which ones do you think are better? Blitzwolf® BW-FYE2 ~ 30€ Dudios Zeus Air Bluetooth 5.0 ~ 27€ TRN V80 ~ 22€
Great review as always - thanks MrMobile! I may have missed it, but could you comment on the sound isolation/leakage i.e. can people in your near vicinity also hear the output or is isolated to near your head?
How is the volume for people around you? Are they able to listen to your music, too? I would assume, that this would sound to them as a low volume Bluetooth-Speaker.
My issue with Bose is with products like these, the sound quality is far below what it should cost. Those shoulder mounted speakers you showed I would pay at most $150 for the sound fidelity but their asking of $300+ is ridiculous to me. Same with the QC35. It's cool tech that you're paying the extra cost for the name. I haven't heard these yet so won't critique them but I probably would be happier with my SE215, Oakleys, and my smartwatch for those smart features rather than ditching them for a product seemingly not as good at any of those fields. Great review and interesting video as always though, Mr. Mobile
For the people wondering about sound leak, I got you. I tried these at the mall last weekend, so Im basically an expert. Theyre no louder than regular earbuds so you can hear it only when close enough to hear someones buds
i’m constantly listening to music when i’m out and about. one thing i hate about headphones when walking down the street is how much it isolates me and limits my awareness of my surroundings. i wish you had touched on that more with these sunglasses, if it makes a big difference when you’re in public and there’s lots of things going on around you. you mentioned the bus drowned it out but that was about it. i like the idea of having speakers so close to your ears so you don’t have to turn it up. but not having them cover your ears, so you can pay attention to what’s going on around you. say, if there was suddenly some commotion and now you’re in an emergency situation and need to react accordingly. maybe i’ll wait for a polarized version and give them a shot by summertime
Benefit is that it doesn't block off traffic noise. But I think bone conduction is still the way to go, if this solution also doesn't offer to much bass. Benefit with bone conduction is that when suddenly ambient noise overpowers it, the solution can be as simple as a finger (or earplug) into the ear canal, you don't have to swap gear.
I find earbuds incredibly uncomfortable and need sunglasses for glare in the pnw so when I tried these on I was absolutely thrilled! I do have some standard headphones but they fall off when I’m gardening, which is much of my day, so this is the coolest thing since sliced bread for me! I love them. Also they’re great to listen to music in the car while driving my elderly parents around. No need to change my music because it bothers her anymore because she can’t hear it! but I can still hear her. Perfect.
I just saw these today in a Bose store and they were interesting - I would definitely be looking forward to a follow up review when these get the Bose AR software.
And yet another refreshing review! They always feel so damn good and are a pure pleasure to watch! You are for sure one of my biggest inspirations. The glasses - I find them to be really really interesting but one question still remains - are they actually hearable for people around you? (if yes maybe bone-conduction might be the way to go for future generations) Cheers and greetings from Germany! 🐑
It was hard enough to tell people with a mono earpiece were on their phone. With those glasses, I'll just think you're literally talking to yourself like a loon
Any update on these? Just now hearing about these and wondering if they are still worth it at full price. Are newer models set to release anytime soon?
Hi mike nice reviews. Heard the sound. Not a ground crashing when it comes to bass boosting. On an average Pretty good sound. My question is do they support Bose hearing enhancing app? I mean can we use this frame for enhancing conversation for those with mild to moderate difficulty in hearing . I know Bose they do have hearing enhancing earphones. But frames are better for your working conditions where you can use prescription lenses rather than pair of earphones.
I love wearable tech. First the Levi’s smart jacket, then the Bose wear and now this. I’d buy them all if I had the money to. That’s why products like these are so attractive to me, even though I wouldn’t use the, very often!
Not a fan of the design of either option, but definitely a fan of what Bose is trying to achieve. It would have been great if Bose had put a microphone under each lens, that way it would be much closer to your mouth and with two extra microphones on the back, noise cancellation would be magnificent.
@@TheMrMobile it does sound like they have a product with great potential. That or you're just so good at reviews that even the crappy products are appealing 😆
Prescription glasses, close to 6hr playback and 18hr standby. I feel there will be a lot of uptake for this! I wonder how audible it is to others around in an office environment.
In-ear sound buds really bother me a lot. Headphones sometimes too bulky to use. Bought Bose frames and I really like them. Very comfortable to wear and very happy with sound. I have a tendency to listen at high volume but Bose frames have no volume control therefore preventing me from going deaf. Wore frames in a crowded Doctors office, no one else seemed to hear my frames playing music. So far so good.
Hi Mr Mobile, Loved your video. I think Bose is on to something! very cool idea could definitely manifest into something amazing!!! you inspired me to create my TH-cam account I truly love your videos ever since your old-school pocketnow videos
I want to wait for the second version to improve on these, but I feel like I need to buy these so they even consider making a second version. Not quite sure why they didn't make them bone conduction, though
@@TheMrMobile Yes same. When I saw the design I was scared it might be just as obnoxious as bringing a live speaker wherever you go. Glad to hear that the sound bleed is at a minimum.
Polarised lenses on their website for 30 bucks. Blue lenses for 20 bucks. Battery last forever if you turn on with 3 seconds from call coming in. Not like they need to be on at all times. Can charge from phone I'm your pocket while wearing just like people who wear headphones. The sound is awesome with the right files.
Mr Mobile, you didn't mention if the music you are listening to or the calls you are answering is private or people around you can listen to you while that is happening. Because privacy of playlist and conversation is a big factor when it comes to an offbeat gadget choice.
My friend has these and they're really nice! That being said, I definitely will stick to my polarized Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Alternating between my Bose SoundSport Wireless and QC35 II is good enough. Great video per the usual!
As someone who wears glasses all day every day, I'd be interested in these once they had a prescription option. Even more so if you could get the transitional lenses that go from clear to dark depending on the light.. for now I'll stick to those little AKG guys that came with my S9+

Have you taken phone calls on them? Can people here what your caller is saying?
@@NomadTiff I actually got them about a week ago and yes they can hear you if they are close enough to you but no sound quality complaints from the person on the other end
I would buy them if ppl couldn't hear my sound .. I'm very private like that
I was thinking the same thing. What’s worse the Backstreet Boys or Porn? 🤪
Pepe Instigator69 How is wanting privacy selfish?
@@sheriffaboubakar9720 It's not selfish, it's respectful. I don't want to hear other peoples music, I want mine or none.
@@Coldgecko Others will follow yes but firstly Bose followed other companies. Sun glasses like this have been out for a couple years now.
I just got mine, and at 75% or so, I've been told by my wife, that she can hear faint music but she wouldn't be able to determine where it's coming from.
Totally would watch a Bose AR vid man!
So ppl cant hear what you listening too ? Or can they ? never said anything about that in this video.
I was waiting for him to address this throughout the whole video as well.
Yeah many places don't allow orbit is considered inappropriate to have open speakers so I'm curious. It looks like it's obviously open but still...
You only hear a bit of noise with the glasses at full volume, but nothing too bad.
In IG he stated that the sound is not really noticeable even if you sitting in a silent room
Judging by the form factor and the way they're built I'd say that other people would be able to hear what you listen to.
It's not like bone induction or anything. It's just a speaker above your ear...
From Kenya and we obviously don't have such things but my heart lights up any time I listen to Mr Mobile.

Great Video Mike.
When we wear glasses and speak to someone over the call, I can imagine people's reactions.
They might even help us cross the road. 🤣
This dude is painfully honest!Totally unbiased!Probably the best youtuber on youtube!
The most eloquent man in tech media as always. Been a fan since 2012. Good stuff.
I think you missed a Clip between 2:36 and 2:42
Great video though! 🔥
Damn, good catch. Not sure what happened there.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] rendering glitch?
@@TheMrMobile Yeah, seems like your Video editor screwed up. 😆
@@GamerRohit Remind me to fire myself.
Were you wearing the glasses while editing? 🧐
the only legit review of Bose audio glasses I have found. Thank you
Great review. Glad to hear you are not getting paid to make a positive or inaccurate review, very appreciated
Best tech TH-camr
Agree , this dude is very charismatic
definitely one of the best!
I love the aspect of personal audio, but in a low profile format AND without having to clean off the earwax. Excited to see where this tech goes
Thank you so much! This was an excellent review and helped me make a decision. Thumbs UP!
Michael, you’ve just become so much better in my book-you’re listening to Paranoid Android with Bose Frames Rondo (my favorite of both models)
I am amazed with every video you upload your way of talking and the words you say always amazes me with their simplicity and their effect and meaning
You are the only reviewer that I enjoy getting information about tech from
Thank you 🤳👌👌✌
Yes you r true his voice has a charm nd he explains it I a pretty damm good way
Hello, Mrmobile. I speak with you from Bolivia. I have a question: here, the cost of the huawei mate20 is $ 570, the galaxy note 9 of 128 GB costs $ 750, the OP6 of 128 GB costs $ 605 and the OP6t of 128 GB costs $ 760, which you recommend and for what?.
Paranoid Android by Radiohead...
Even more reason for you to be my favorite tech reviewer.
I just bought Alto yesterday. They had update, now you can press button and turn your head for + or - to volume. I like those very much :)
Im such a simple guy. I get a mr. Mobile not, i press it. Always puts a smile on face 😎( get it )?
I love what be says at the end of his video... He's basically saying " he's not a sell out , so with that being said all his reviews are 100% his own personal opinion " you don't find tech reviewers like that anymore. Keep it up bud
The music on this video sounds great on the soundwear. I’m waiting for my Alto’s to arrive tomorrow.
Hello super Review, I have a question? If you had to decide to buy headphones which of the three would you buy or which ones do you think are better?
Blitzwolf® BW-FYE2 ~ 30€
Dudios Zeus Air Bluetooth 5.0 ~ 27€
TRN V80 ~ 22€
I would love to see sunglasses that have AR capabilities. Kindly make a video of them if they do come in the future.
Michael always with the innovations ...BOSE frames and BLACKBERRY KEY2!
These are so cool to wear when cycling... You have map directions directly in your ear without being cut off from the world
The Corey Hart reference is a win for this review! 😁
Great review as always - thanks MrMobile! I may have missed it, but could you comment on the sound isolation/leakage i.e. can people in your near vicinity also hear the output or is isolated to near your head?
Truth and honest. That's why I always look forward to your videos.
How is the volume for people around you? Are they able to listen to your music, too? I would assume, that this would sound to them as a low volume Bluetooth-Speaker.
Hi
Just had a software update and i can now turn the volume up and down by holding button and turning my head from left or right..

I'm going to see if I can get prescription lenses for these. I love them but I can do without the sun blocking lense at night.
Benefit is that it doesn't block off traffic noise. But I think bone conduction is still the way to go, if this solution also doesn't offer to much bass. Benefit with bone conduction is that when suddenly ambient noise overpowers it, the solution can be as simple as a finger (or earplug) into the ear canal, you don't have to swap gear.
This is my favorite tech you tuber big ups Michael
Your videos are so good i forget about commenting on them.
I'd assumed these were bone conduction.
Can people in the same room hear your audio from the speakers?
As someone who *has* to wear glasses not being able to get my prescription is whack. I'd like a pair with flip up shades.
How about that followup video Mr. Mobile? 😀
I find earbuds incredibly uncomfortable and need sunglasses for glare in the pnw so when I tried these on I was absolutely thrilled! I do have some standard headphones but they fall off when I’m gardening, which is much of my day, so this is the coolest thing since sliced bread for me! I love them.

No need to change my music because it bothers her anymore because she can’t hear it! but I can still hear her. Perfect.
I waiting for a transferable design so the bluetooth/audio ends can be made into a sleeve to transfer to any pair of glasses.
@ 4:26 "i definitely prefer having the option to not"... What does that mean?
Most sophisticated tech reviewer out there

Great review Mr Mobile. Would like the AR follow up.
It was hard enough to tell people with a mono earpiece were on their phone. With those glasses, I'll just think you're literally talking to yourself like a loon
as always to the point, interesting and intuitive Kudos MrMobile
and we would like to have the follow-up video too
Any update on these? Just now hearing about these and wondering if they are still worth it at full price. Are newer models set to release anytime soon?
MrMobile, I love your reviews, but I think it would be really cool if you put an audio clip of you using the products microphone if it includes one.
You should mention that it's possible to buy clear prescription lenses for these glasses since you can change the lenses.
Full voice interface? Color me interested. I'm looking forward to the follow-up when Bose updates the software.
Hi mike nice reviews. Heard the sound. Not a ground crashing when it comes to bass boosting. On an average Pretty good sound. My question is do they support Bose hearing enhancing app? I mean can we use this frame for enhancing conversation for those with mild to moderate difficulty in hearing . I know Bose they do have hearing enhancing earphones. But frames are better for your working conditions where you can use prescription lenses rather than pair of earphones.
Can you remove the lenses and make prescription lenses specifically for the frames
Appreciate the end blurb about the review policy
Hope Michael gets to 1 million followers asap...
Long time coming!!!
How is it you're not at 1 million subs already?
So, the lenses are not replaceable with prescription lenses?

Noise cancellation is quite good, actually, better than I expected. It's just the word clipping that gives it away a bit.
@@TheMrMobile it does sound like they have a product with great potential. That or you're just so good at reviews that even the crappy products are appealing 😆
Soundglasses
APT XD
Why didn't they do the bone conducting glasses that vibrate your skull to create noise? Wouldn't that be slimmer and could also sound great?
Prescription glasses, close to 6hr playback and 18hr standby. I feel there will be a lot of uptake for this! I wonder how audible it is to others around in an office environment.

Hi Mr Mobile, Loved your video. I think Bose is on to something! very cool idea could definitely manifest into something amazing!!! you inspired me to create my TH-cam account I truly love your videos ever since your old-school pocketnow videos
You should do an update on the new versions and prescription options.
OMG you did a SeaQuest reference!!!!!!!!!!! I loved that show!! Them was those DS9 years. Oh good times MM. Oh we are getting old.
Yes please do a follow up. Very interesting stuff
When Oakley sponsor those headphones 🎧 I will buy them all day long.
Great video! Those sunglasses look interesting.. would definitely like to see how that AR works once it launches!
Can the lenses be replace with prescription lenses?
Thanks for the awesome review again and again!!!
I want to wait for the second version to improve on these, but I feel like I need to buy these so they even consider making a second version. Not quite sure why they didn't make them bone conduction, though
You call your head large but how large are we talking? I'm size 60 and I'm not sure who they made the larger spectacles for if my head is to small.
Can other people near the wearer hear the music?
There's some sound bleed, but not much more than you'd get from on-ear headphones. I expected a lot more trouble in this respect.
@@TheMrMobile Yes same. When I saw the design I was scared it might be just as obnoxious as bringing a live speaker wherever you go. Glad to hear that the sound bleed is at a minimum.
Yeah, I'm not interested in this device for myself, but it's always nice to see a company take chances on new tech.
Can someone overhear your sound? If so how close do they have to be?
Thank you for reviewing the mic quality.
I would buy it if there is a prescription lens and better speaker....
The reason I watched this particular video was because I wanted to know where you got the seaQuest DSV cap.
I dont know what you show yet love your presentation and narration
Can I pick calls and speak thru them?
Okay I will definitely want to get a pair once some prescription options are available!
Mr. Mobile you make quality content.
I am a simple man. I see a MrMobile Video. I click the like button. I watch it.
id buy but after few months nothing charge happen my bose frames?
Polarised lenses on their website for 30 bucks. Blue lenses for 20 bucks. Battery last forever if you turn on with 3 seconds from call coming in. Not like they need to be on at all times.

Interesting product, am not a fan of smart watches, but this looks like a yes for me. Good and fair review Mr. Mobile
Picked one today for CA$ 125. BestBuy Canada had it on sale for Canada Day.
My friend has these and they're really nice! That being said, I definitely will stick to my polarized Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Alternating between my Bose SoundSport Wireless and QC35 II is good enough. Great video per the usual!
As someone who wears glasses all day every day, I'd be interested in these once they had a prescription option. Even more so if you could get the transitional lenses that go from clear to dark depending on the light.. for now I'll stick to those little AKG guys that came with my S9+
This is such a different and a promising gadget, I genuinely want it to improve and succeed
