RE: Bose frames

2021-12-29 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Hi Dan,

 Great yes, I can't agree more with you.

 No you don't need the app but it does give you the backup of the bose services 
if needed 
For things like firmware updates etc,
 I have it and only look at it about once a month if that.

 
Keep listening and enjoying your new toy.

Hey everyone, I have just gotten my Bose frame tenors and can’t say enough 
about how pleased I have been with this purchase. They are just what I wanted. 
I am able to go out in public whether in a restaurant or on walks and play soft 
music, make phone calls, etc. while moving about without having my ears 
completely closed up with earbuds or some type of covering. The sound is great 
and they paired very easily with my iPhone. I have not downloaded the app, not 
sure that I really need to.
A great investment though and highly recommend them!
Dan

One reason you might want the app is that when in use it provides a wigit 
that keeps track of your battery level while the frames are in use.

Your choice, but I think that would look odd,

With the frames you are wearing glasses as the speakers are within the 
arms of them as are the volume and power / play etc controls, Infact all 
you would see is the very small power button on the base of the arm as a 
control.


And wearing earpods / airpods wouldn't let you hear the surrounding

RE: Bose frames

2021-12-09 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Hi dan,

There is the bose music app which you are meant to use but you can pair them 
directly with an iPhone through the Bluetooth settings.

I've got the music app and it is confusing but it gives a few extra features 
your frames can use.

2021-12-09 Thread Christopher Chaltain
For the Tempos, you'll want the Bose Music app. I don't think it's strictly 
necessary though, but you can use it to check a few things on the Tempos and 
set a few settings.

RE: Bose frames

2021-06-03 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Agreed, but ear buds like the original Airpods have very little noise 
cancellation and wouldn't block much sound. Ear buds like the Airpod Pros have 
transparency mode so would allow ambient noise to come through.

Your choice, but I think that would look odd,

 With the frames you are wearing glasses as the speakers are within the arms of 
them as are the volume and power / play etc controls, Infact all you would see 
is the very small power button on the base of the arm as a control.

And wearing earpods / airpods wouldn't let you hear the surrounding sounds like 
the frames or aftershockz will give you.

Yeah there are three options I believe,

Orange 
Yellow and the default which I believe is a general sunglass shade / format.
But I've got a feeling there might be a blue shade as well.

I have the orange lenses for my Tempo frames. It needed huge efforts by my 
sighted wife to swap them out!
With RP I need to cut out the blue end of the light spectrum.

RE: Bose frames

2021-06-03 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Your choice, but I think that would look odd,

 With the frames you are wearing glasses as the speakers are within the arms of 
them as are the volume and power / play etc controls,
Infact all you would see is the very small power button on the base of the arm 
as a control.

And wearing earpods / airpods wouldn't let you hear the surrounding sounds like 
the frames or aftershockz will give you.

None of the frames would really come close to rayban aviator sun glasses,

The closest would be the sports / tempo model of the glasses,

Tenor are more squarish
Rondo are round like old granny glasses, Serprano are more tear drop shaped 
sort of flicking up in to a wing kind of shape at the outer corner of the eyes, 
These are more a womens glasses,

The closest
 I think  would be the tempo  which are wrap around.

None of the frames would really come close to rayban aviator sun glasses,

The closest would be the sports / tempo model of the glasses,

Tenor are more squarish
Rondo are round like old granny glasses, Serprano are more tear drop shaped 
sort of flicking up in to a wing kind of shape at the outer corner of the eyes, 
These are more a womens glasses,

The closest
 I think  would be the tempo  which are wrap around.

I am a month behind in reading mail from this list.  Hope you will forgive me 
for asking questions on Bose Frames.
I didn't know about them and am absolutely fascinated by the idea!  I want 
headphones I can wear while walking outside that would allow me to listen to 
GPS directions from my phone as well as sounds in the environment.  The open 
ear technology sounds like it will do that.

Since I have no vision, not even light perception, the lenses are not important 
except that polarized do seem to be better than non-polarized.
The Tempo seems to be highly recommended by list members.  However I noticed 
that the older alto has two features not mentioned in any of the newer models:
Integrated microphone
Multi-directional motion sensor

Do the newer models have microphones for taking calls or giving commands to the 
phone?
What is the advantage of a multidirectional motion sensor, either in general or 
for me as a blind user?
I hope someone has tried the alto and knows what this does.

Thank you in advance for your help, as well as for bearing with me on this

QVC (www.qvc.com) offers them for the sprices just quoted.  However they
offer five easy pays so that you can pay smaller amounts over a 5-month

for example, are $49.80 a month if you choose this option.

Now, a question. When my phone rings the sound does not come through 
the Frames speakers? Is this normal or is there some setting I need to

I have had the altos, and I bought the tempos as well. They are

Hi,

I have had the altos, and I bought the tempos as well. They are definitely 
more pricy, but they are worth it. They have all of the microphones and 
multi-directional censor. They are so awesome. I also tried someone else's 
after shocks, and I hands down like my frames better. I am also a totally

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-30 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I have the Bose Frames Altos, and I just got the Tempos. I also have the Trekz 
Titaniums from Aftershokz.

The frames will be more stylish and give you better sound quality. They're a 
good option if you already want to wear sunglasses or want something that 
doesn't look like you have headphones on.

The Aftershokz will give you better battery life, although the battery life in 
the Tempos is supposed to be better than that in the Altos.

For me, if I'm going to grab something around the house to listen to a book or 
a podcast then I'll just grab the Aftershokz. I appreciate the better battery 
life, I find them comfortable, and I won't have to worry about knocking them 
into something.

If I'm going out and about then I'll grab the Tempos. I like to have the option 
of listening to something without everyone knowing I have headphones on. I'll 
also grab the Tempos if I want to listen to something like music or a movie 
where I want better sound quality.

IMHO, they both have their strengths and weaknesses, and I think it just comes 
down to how you'll be using them and which form factor you prefer.

RE: Another Bose Frames question

2021-05-30 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Yes the models released in 2020 use bose music,

The earlier alto and rondo models use bose connect.

Both models of app are very usable.
But honestly I barely use the app once I've paired the frames to my phone,
Everything I need is on the frames themselves.

If anything to me is lacking in them is 
The ability to say hey siri without having to tap the frame first.

2021-05-30 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Yes ed but note that the alto and rondo are the older style / format of the 
frames,

They now have the tenor for men
Seprano for women 
And the tempos for sports 
And these frames are the new models released in 2020 
More costly but still well worth the money.

Hi,
Do these headphones have an app for adjusting settings? If so, is it completely 
accessible for VoiceOver users?

Thanks.

Re: Bose frames

2021-05-30 Thread Beverly Wieland
QVC (www.qvc.com) offers them for the sprices just quoted.  However they 
offer five easy pays so that you can pay smaller amounts over a 5-month 
period, interest free.  The price does not include shipping.  The tempos, 
for example, are $49.80 a month if you choose this option.

Hi,

I have had the altos, and I bought the tempos as well. They are definitely more 
pricy, but they are worth it. They have all of the microphones and 
multi-directional censor. They are so awesome. I also tried someone else's 
after shocks, and I hands down like my frames better. I am also a totally blind

I didn't know about them and am absolutely fascinated by the idea!  I
want headphones I can wear while walking outside that would allow me
to listen to GPS directions from my phone as well as sounds in the
environment.  The open ear technology sounds like it will do that.

Since I have no vision, not even light perception, the lenses are not
important except that polarized do seem to be better than non-polarized.
The Tempo seems to be highly recommended by list members.  However I
noticed that the older alto has two features not mentioned in any of
the newer models:
Integrated microphone
Multi-directional motion sensor

Do the newer models have microphones for taking calls or giving
commands to the phone?
What is the advantage of a multidirectional motion sensor, either in
general or for me as a blind user?
I hope someone has tried the alto and knows what this does.

Thank you in advance for your help, as well as for bearing with me on
this subject.

Hi all,

The Alto frames uses an app called Bose connect. The tempos use an app all led 
Bose music. They are both accessible.

It’s called the music app I think it’s the music Bose connect app or something 
you want to look for it but it’s for the Bose frames tempo at least that’s what 
I have I have to look at what it’s really called but there is an app and it’s 
accessible.

Do these headphones have an app for adjusting settings? If so, is it completely

Re: Bose frames

2021-05-30 Thread CHELA Robles
Well I’m fully blind and I actually like the best frames it’s just based on 
personal preference really honestly in anything in life really when it comes to 
products I don’t like putting things in my ears. And I actually like the 
sunglasses much better. I like the fact that they have polarized lenses 
polarized lenses help my eyes since I have some issues with my eyes as well I 
have had an issue with them for a year now. So these post frames are really 
helping me out. I also use them for phone calls in with services like be my 
eyes and Ira.

The frames don't block your ears,

The speakers are in the arms of the glasses and sit just above the ears opening 
but leaves them completely open,


And the microphone in the bose frames seemingly pretty good I use my frames for 
making phone calls 
All the time.

I wear tinted glasses when out and about sometimes to keep the wind and or dust 
out of my eyes and being blind, I and I'm guessing others may have the same 
experience where you get tired of keeping your eyes open and you're just more 
comfortable sometimes with your eyes closed depending on the situation or 
circumstance and don’t' want to be bothered with questions on whether you're 
awake or if something's wrong etc.
While I'm mildly intrigued with these Bose frames, I too prefer the Aftershokz 
concept and keeping my ears open and unobstructed. That and I've got a big 
noggin. So the frames would probably be a tight fit for me anyway.

They are sunglasses which have speakers and microphones built into the arms or

your ear.
Personally I wouldn't be interested simply because I am completely blind and I 
don't see the need for wearing glasses, I'd much rather use the Aftershokz if I 
want audio which doesn't cover my ears.

Yeah I have the tenors and tempos and either way they are great.

 As for being totally blind,
Yeah I am and have no issue with wearing sunglasses 
 
And to me the after shockz don't have the same quality of sound as the frames

But then bose make great sound systems.

2021-05-30 Thread Robert Doc Wright
that is one side I have not figured out. I believe it is possibly the 
bluetooth that causes the problem. I hear the tone in the frames but 
sometimes when I answer the call switches back to the phones. I have heard 
others talk about the same thing happening with any of their bluethoot 
speakers.

In my opinion there is no doubt that the Frames are much superior to the 
Aftershocks.
Now, a question. When my phone rings the sound does not come through the 
Frames speakers? Is this normal or is there some setting I need to make?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have had the altos, and I bought the tempos as well. They are definitely 
more pricy, but they are worth it. They have all of the microphones and 
multi-directional censor. They are so awesome. I also tried someone else's 
after shocks, and I hands down like my frames better. I am also a totally 
blind person.

open ear technology sounds like it will do that.


Since I have no vision, not even light perception, the lenses are not 
important except that polarized do seem to be better than non-polarized.
The Tempo seems to be highly recommended by list members.  However I 
noticed that the older alto has two features not mentioned in any of the 
newer models:

Integrated microphone
Multi-directional motion sensor

Do the newer models have microphones for taking calls or giving commands 
to the phone?
What is the advantage of a multidirectional motion sensor, either in 
general or for me as a blind user?

I hope someone has tried the alto and knows what this does.

Thank you in advance for your help, as well as for bearing with me on this 
subject.

If you want sound quality for music or television kind of stuff then the bus 
frames are better if you just want information about your surroundings in track 
loud noise areas then the aftershocks are probably a good option. I don’t know 
about either since I haven’t paid had them but that’s my understanding from 
talking to different people.

2021-05-30 Thread Jennie Facer
Hi,

I have had the altos, and I bought the tempos as well. They are definitely more 
pricy, but they are worth it. They have all of the microphones and 
multi-directional censor. They are so awesome. I also tried someone else's 
after shocks, and I hands down like my frames better. I am also a totally blind 
person.

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-30 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
They are sunglasses which have speakers and microphones built into the arms or 
whatever you call these things which go from the frame around the lenses to 
your ear.
Personally I wouldn't be interested simply because I am completely blind and I 
don't see the need for wearing glasses, I'd much rather use the Aftershokz if I 
want audio which doesn't cover my ears.

Re: Bose frames

2021-05-30 Thread CHELA Robles
You will definitely benefit greatly with Soundscape with the Bose frames tempo. 
It’s amazing. I got lucky apparently because I had a $300 gift card and I ended 
up getting them with the gift card. They come with three sets of nose pads that 
are easy to install if the pair that he’s already put on doesn’t fit for you 
then you can try the other two pair the ones that are already installed when 
the Bose frames comes is the number two which fits most people but I ended up 
taking the smaller of the other two pairs that were in a bag because that’s 
what fits me. They feel like they are made of some form of silicone or 
rubberized type of material. They’re easy to get on and easy to get off if you 
want to experiment as well. I would caution you to put them in a special place 
if you change your mind about changing your nose piece size.

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-30 Thread Simon A Fogarty
In my book better quality sound and feel to them.

Bose are speaker / sound system builders 
 After shockz are a different product intirely 

I have both the tenor and tempo frames and the tempos have a better battery 
life than the tenors but the sound is just as good and with taps on the side of 
the arm or slide your finger on the right arm you get some touch controls.

They also give you a form of surround sound which the after shockz don't give 
you.
Plus the frames let you watch tv or movies as well as listen to gps directions 
I use them with google maps 

Without issues,they may cost more but they are well worth the price you pay.

Since I have no vision, not even light perception, the lenses are not 
important except that polarized do seem to be better than non-polarized.
The Tempo seems to be highly recommended by list members.  However I 
noticed that the older alto has two features not mentioned in any of the 
newer models:

Integrated microphone
Multi-directional motion sensor

Do the newer models have microphones for taking calls or giving commands 
to the phone?
What is the advantage of a multidirectional motion sensor, either in 
general or for me as a blind user?

I hope someone has tried the alto and knows what this does.

Thank you in advance for your help, as well as for bearing with me on

2021-05-29 Thread CHELA Robles
Can you all say open ear surroundsound baby? Yeah! :-) LOL! You know one time I 
was watching a audio description of a scene or a TV show rather, and the audio 
describer sounded so close and it sounded really nearby and it kind of freaked 
me out but it was good it left me on the edge of my seat because well, It must 
have been a very intense scene! Those Bose frames tempos are amazing I highly 
recommend them if I don’t recommend them enough already!

As stated here,

If the volume is up to it's maximum then yes others can hear the person on the 
phone with you.

If you have them low that is still comfortable for you then no they shouldn’t 
be able to hear the caller,

I use mine all the time and only music loud is what people have heard and then 
only when they sit close to me.

I would imagine that if you have to volume all the way up it would be possible 
for others to hear your conversation. Kept at a reasonable volume, there could 
be some chance of others hearing but not much. They are open speakers so I 
think it's to be expected.

Hi. Afte4r trying a few different Bluetooth glasses and open ear type headsets 
I finally decided on the Bose Frames Tempo. They are a wrap around style set of 
sun glasses with awesome battery life compared to some of the others and the 
sound is decent given the size of its speakers. I wear them every day and use 
them for listening to podcasts or audio books and they also work great for 
making and answering phone calls. They are expensive but work the best for me.

My next favorite are the AfterShokz AeroPex but don't care for the way that 
AfterShokz headphones  work with Siri because you have say "hey Siri" when 
issuing a Siri command via its multifunction button which is totally 
unnecessary with other brands.

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-04 Thread rick.alfaro
I believe he was referring to head tracking which the Tempo doesn't support 
currently. Other than the head tracking, the Tempos work great with SoundScape.

Hey there all,

Any idea if these glasses support Microsoft Soundscape? I think the old
model did, that's what I read anyway, but not sure about these new sport
ones. apparently it uses their accelerometers and such to pinpoint
things, which sounds super cool. I was thinking of picking up a pair.
thanks in advance for any help!

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-04 Thread rick.alfaro
Hi. If you are referring to what they call head tracking, sadly no, the Frames 
tempo are not supported. I'd love to see this added if possible in a future 
firmware update but not sure if the Tempo has the necessary AR sensors. The 
models that are supported are the Alto and Rondo which are older models.

As stated here,

If the volume is up to it's maximum then yes others can hear the person on 
the phone with you.


If you have them low that is still comfortable for you then no they shouldn’t 
be able to hear the caller,


I use mine all the time and only music loud is what people have heard and 
then only when they sit close to me.

I would imagine that if you have to volume all the way up it would be 
possible for others to hear your conversation. Kept at a reasonable volume, 
there could be some chance of others hearing but not much. They are open 
speakers so I think it's to be expected.

Hey there all,

Any idea if these glasses support Microsoft Soundscape? I think the old model 
did, that's what I read anyway, but not sure about these new sport ones. 
apparently it uses their accelerometers and such to pinpoint things, which 
sounds super cool. I was thinking of picking up a pair. 
thanks in advance for any help!

Yes if it's loud or full volume,

No if the volume is down but still at a comfortable level.

As stated here,

If the volume is up to it's maximum then yes others can hear the person on the 
phone with you.

If you have them low that is still comfortable for you then no they shouldn’t 
be able to hear the caller,

I use mine all the time and only music loud is what people have heard and then 
only when they sit close to me.

The alto are the original bose frames 

They are a few years old now 

The tenor, tempo and seprano are the newer models out mid to late 2020 
So have better speakers and volume, different shapes of lens,
Sepranos are meant for women,
Tenor a mens fashion glasses,

And tempo are a sports glass with replaceable lens and are wrap around,

The alto is just older and not as good quality audio from them,

I  have both tenor and tempo and they are well worth the money,


I will also say that the tenor has a prepriotory connector for charging 
Usb a at one end, the bose connector at the other,

The tempos use a usb A and USb-c to go in to the glasses end for charging.

Hi. Afte4r trying a few different Bluetooth glasses and open ear type headsets 
I finally decided on the Bose Frames Tempo. They are a wrap around style set of 
sun glasses with awesome battery life compared to some of the others and the 
sound is decent given the size of its speakers. I wear them every day and use 
them for listening to podcasts or audio books and they also work great for 
making and answering phone calls. They are expensive but work the best for me.

My next favorite are the AfterShokz AeroPex but don't care for the way that 
AfterShokz headphones  work with Siri because you have say "hey Siri" when 
issuing a Siri command via its multifunction button which is totally 
unnecessary with other brands.

Hello All, can I ask for your opinions on the Bose Frames that will not block 
my hearing during my walks?  I believe that there is another headset by Bose do 
not cover your ears also.  I need something that sounds great so I can use 
Goodmaps and soundscape and some other apps.  What I am doing now is, I have my 
I Phone in my backpack on the strap.  It works well but, I would like to have a 
bit more privacy but at the same time have total ability of hearing traffic and 
other sounds around me.  Although I mentioned Bose, it doesn't need to be.  I 
just want a quality piece of equipment that will be comfortable and sounds 
great and looks good.  Thanks so much for your time and any suggestions.  Andy

2021-05-03 Thread David Whitehead
Good evening;
could someone tell me the difference between,  the Bose frames alto, which is 
$125.00,
the Bose frames, soprano, tenor, tempo, all over $300.00
other than the battery charge, most being 6 hours charge,
unlike the Bose frames tempo has a 8 hours charge.

   The impossible is the untried,  Never under estimate the power of a 
dream.

Hi. In my case they are sun glasses with tiny bluetooth speakers inbeded into 
the stems of the glasses and pointed toward your ears. The speakers are 
actually pointed towards your ears and not on them or in them so you can hear 
all of your surroundings.

Hi. Afte4r trying a few different Bluetooth glasses and open ear type 
headsets I finally decided on the Bose Frames Tempo. They are a wrap around 
style set of sun glasses with awesome battery life compared to some of the 
others and the sound is decent given the size of its speakers. I wear them 
every day and use them for listening to podcasts or audio books and they 
also work great for making and answering phone calls. They are expensive but 
work the best for me.

My next favorite are the AfterShokz AeroPex but don't care for the way that 
AfterShokz headphones
 work with Siri because you have say "hey Siri" when issuing a Siri command 
via its multifunction button which is totally unnecessary with other brands.

i had never heard of these things before reading about them here. I also was 
curious as to hi much they are. So, I went over to Amazon and checked it out. 
They have a pair that says it is a limited time deal for $169, normally $199. 
They have another couple different pair for, I think it was, $249. By that 
time, I had read enough for me.

The movie thing I've not tried,

I'll have to give that a go.

As for the apple watch,

Yeah I use this while at my dentist,

I can sit back in the chair and listen to audio on my frames and control 
everything on my watch without the dentist knowing what I'm doing.

It's very easy to do.

I have the bose Frame tempo. I think the sound quality is fantastic. it won't 
be as deep as headphones but you will hear the bass as well as what is around 
you. the glasses are not heavy nor bulky. they sound tremendous when listening 
to a movie. If you also have an Apple watch you can adjust the volume as well 
as track forward or back when listening to music. Otherwise you will need to 
use your phone to make that adjustment.

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-02 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Yes the seprano is aimed at the female market,

The tenor is aimed at the male market,

The tempo is a sports market  with the wrap around,

I've not seen or tried the sepranos but the only issue I have with my tenors is 
that there is a lot of space between the frame of the glasses and the corner of 
the eye 
Which I'm not really use to .

The glasses should really wrap slightly more around the face,
With less space between the frame and the face,

As that would stop an increase in glair or sun coming in the corner of the eye.

Hi. Afte4r trying a few different Bluetooth glasses and open ear type headsets 
I finally decided on the Bose Frames Tempo. They are a wrap around style set of 
sun glasses with awesome battery life compared to some of the others and the 
sound is decent given the size of its speakers. I wear them every day and use 
them for listening to podcasts or audio books and they also work great for 
making and answering phone calls. They are expensive but work the best for me.

My next favorite are the AfterShokz AeroPex but don't care for the way that 
AfterShokz headphones
 work with Siri because you have say "hey Siri" when issuing a Siri command via 
its multifunction button which is totally unnecessary with other brands. 



Warmest regards

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-02 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Yes,

They are sun glasses made by the company Bose,
They have little speakers in the arms of the glasses that sit just above your 
ears entrance 
So that when audio plays the sound comes out of the speaker just above your ear 
canal 


So they are both sun glasses and headphones in one unit.

Very good tools if you are walking and listening  to audio while needing to 
hear surrounding traffic noises

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-02 Thread rick.alfaro
Hi. Afte4r trying a few different Bluetooth glasses and open ear type headsets 
I finally decided on the Bose Frames Tempo. They are a wrap around style set of 
sun glasses with awesome battery life compared to some of the others and the 
sound is decent given the size of its speakers. I wear them every day and use 
them for listening to podcasts or audio books and they also work great for 
making and answering phone calls. They are expensive but work the best for me.

My next favorite are the AfterShokz AeroPex but don't care for the way that 
AfterShokz headphones
 work with Siri because you have say "hey Siri" when issuing a Siri command via 
its multifunction button which is totally unnecessary with other brands. 



Warmest regards

Rick Alfaro

I agree. It is wise to hit the button, cross the street then hit the button 
again to turn your audio back on.

I have them and use them like this however depending on the volume of the 
audio you are listening to and the traffic around you

It might not be always a good thing to have audio playing.

I've come close a couple  of times to being hit due to not hearing the 
vehicles and the volume wasn't that loud on my tenors or tempos.


But they are a great headset for doing what you are looking for.

Shape,
Age / version,
The alto is the original frames,

They are kind of standard looking sun glasses but are the older format of
the frames and although cheaper I stayed away from them.

Rondos If  I remember correctly are the again slightly older format but 
have

the round lens  like an old granny glasses type thing,


Tempo  are the later model and are a wrap around water resistant some what
rubberised arms, and a plastic like lens in possibly a couple of colours
I believe blue, yellow and there is another shade but I an't remember what
it is,

The tempo have the best battery life out of them so far, with an 8 hour
life.the tempo are also meant as a sports glasses as well.

There is also the  Tenor,
which is a standard form of sun glasses,
Square / rectangular lens and a 5 to 6 hour battery life.
The tenors are meant to be a format of fashion sun glasses, for men,

There is also the seprano which is more for women as it has the somewhat
tear drop shaped lens
Again more of a fashion item for women and a 5 to 6 hour battery,
By tear drop I mean they  go up in to a sort of tight pointy end at the 
edge

by the arm connection.


I've got both the tempo and tenor,
They are both great and the tenors I wear most of the time while I'm out 
and

about.

I can't really find an issue with them other than the battery could be
longer but then where would you put it and if I wasn't wearing them every
day then the battery would probably last longer.

I have the bose Frame tempo. I think the sound quality is fantastic. it 
won't be as deep as headphones but you will hear the bass as well as what is 
around you. the glasses are not heavy nor bulky. they sound tremendous when 
listening to a movie. If you also have an Apple watch you can adjust the 
volume as well as track forward or back when listening to music. Otherwise 
you will need to use your phone to make that adjustment.

Shape,
Age / version,
The alto is the original frames,

They are kind of standard looking sun glasses but are the older format of 
the frames and although cheaper I stayed away from them.

Rondos If  I remember correctly are the again slightly older format but have 
the round lens  like an old granny glasses type thing,


Tempo  are the later model and are a wrap around water resistant some what 
rubberised arms, and a plastic like lens in possibly a couple of colours
I believe blue, yellow and there is another shade but I an't remember what 
it is,

The tempo have the best battery life out of them so far, with an 8 hour 
life.the tempo are also meant as a sports glasses as well.

There is also the  Tenor,
which is a standard form of sun glasses,
Square / rectangular lens and a 5 to 6 hour battery life.
The tenors are meant to be a format of fashion sun glasses, for men,

There is also the seprano which is more for women as it has the somewhat 
tear drop shaped lens
Again more of a fashion item for women and a 5 to 6 hour battery,
By tear drop I mean they  go up in to a sort of tight pointy end at the edge 
by the arm connection.


I've got both the tempo and tenor,
They are both great and the tenors I wear most of the time while I'm out and 
about.

I can't really find an issue with them other than the battery could be 
longer but then where would you put it and if I wasn't wearing them every 
day then the battery would probably last longer.

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-01 Thread Simon A Fogarty
I have them and use them like this however depending on the volume of the audio 
you are listening to and the traffic around you 
It might not be always a good thing to have audio playing.

I've come close a couple  of times to being hit due to not hearing the vehicles 
and the volume wasn't that loud on my tenors or tempos.

But they are a great headset for doing what you are looking for.

By tear drop I mean they  go up in to a sort of tight pointy end at the edge by 
the arm connection.


I've got both the tempo and tenor,
They are both great and the tenors I wear most of the time while I'm out and 
about.

I can't really find an issue with them other than the battery could be longer 
but then where would you put it and if I wasn't wearing them every day then the 
battery would probably last longer.
