all right Jah we've got something pretty interesting today it's a little bit different than the usual kind of tech that we take a look at on this channel but still very interesting nonetheless it's from boats they've actually decided to sponsor this video god help them these are the Bose frames and they're the company's very first pair of audio sunglasses that they brought to market they're basically just a pair of sunglasses that have built-in headphones so you can listen to your music take phone calls all while rocking your shades it's a revolutionary idea we are living in the future people and if you know anything about Bose they are really into high quality sound so today we're gonna take a closer look and a closer listen to these bad boys and just see what they're all about I like how they box this up there's kind of these fun little tabs oh that's that's very satisfying and before I go any further I should point out that these are the alto style frames meaning they have square shaped frames the more squarish kind of like the ones I'm wearing now but they also offer circular frames if you're into that sort of thing with my face shape I'd probably look like Harry Potter or something I'm sure they look good on some people you can also see that they have two size variants small and large and they shoot me a large I didn't actually specify which size I wanted so they probably just looked at my youtube videos and went yeah he's got a pretty big head we'll set him a large so let's pop a little bun see what we got here oh that's that's nice actually like a nice sunglasses case manual instructions on how to pair I should mention that these connect to your phone via bluetooth it says you can download the Bose Connect app to set up your frames we'll take a closer look at that just a bit alright let's pop it open gentle now ooh trifold case with a nice kind of velvety material on the inside supersoft we have a bag let's see what's in the bag what's in the bag what's in the bag oh it's a charging cable of course it's got sort of a wone magnetic side it looks like it's just a magnet I'm glad it's not like microUSB it's just magnetic I would much prefer that type-a on the other side anything else in here know who turned out the lights but let's take a look at the star of the show shall we the frames themselves whoo-hoo getting undressed on camera look at that oh baby you bad frames you bad so look at this alright so first off pretty light weight looks like it's mostly plastic material which is fine it seems relatively durable I also like that we have sort of a matte finish all around I thought things were gonna be a little bit glossy err but not super reflective but there's really not a whole lot giving these away as something more than just an ordinary pair of sunglasses from one we have the magnetic contact where we do our charging you just pop that on laakso plug the other end into a power source and I would assume that it starts to charge we also have a tiny single button that's under the right side of the frames that powers the device on and off its we are calling sunglasses of device but it totally is a piece of tech it powers the device on and off it pairs it can also skip tracks and play and pause and things like that so one button to rule them all but perhaps the biggest visual indication that these glasses are something special is when you look at the side profile you can see it gets a little wider here that's where the speakers are or the headphones whatever you want to call them most of the componentry fits right in there I'm sure there's some wiring going throughout as well but for the most part this is definitely not your typical Google glass situation where you're gonna look like a total dweeb from the Year 3030 when you're out wearing these in public so that's nice you know what's also interesting is I really thought that the sound would be coming out from the side right here going straight into your ears but there's nothing here it's completely flush it looks like bose has instead decided to put the speaker on the backside sort of the rear of the glasses which I find kind of interesting I'm wondering if that's just to protect your ears a little bit so sounds not blasting directly into your eardrums there's also what looks to be a little speaker on the outside of the glasses so I'm not sure if these things can be heard without actually having to wear them or maybe that's sort of an air opening designed to give you more of an open back profile with the sound I'm not sure but I guess we're about to find out let the transformation begin okay you know what they're actually pretty comfortable they're super lightweight doesn't seem like they're pinching my nose like the bridge of my nose at all still feels pretty comfortable now obviously I'd have to wear these for a long period of time to really determine how comfortable they are in the long run but initial impressions are pretty good my ears feel pretty good too I'm not noticing any any issues with like clamping force with these arms are these cold arms I don't know what these are called I forget what these are called doesn't matter oh yeah a pretty good planting force with the large size bows was correct in their assumption of my large head as far as how these frames actually look when you're wearing them that's of course gonna be subjective but I kind of want to see what I look like here oh my oh my gosh well that's not too shocking I look great in everything what's even cooler is that wifey sauce could be yelling at me while I tune her out with some dope beats without her even knowing these are already my favorite piece of tech for 2019 hands that on but note test the sound all right we got a pair first of course let me just turn these guys on one tap and it immediately tells me the battery's at 50% that's kind of cool so I'll know if I need to recharge it before I go out so the app already picked up that both frames are in the vicinity and it looks like it's connecting right now connected to pixel - what no I don't need this I already did it only the manual manuals for suckers do I look like a sucker to you don't answer that okay it looks like it's connected oh cool you can name your frames you can enable or disable voice prompts there's the user manual right here in the phone and it looks like you can do multiple connections if you have multiple smartphones tablets computers that you want to actually use these with it looks like it's installing firmware right now transferring firmware seven percent complete I wonder if we can listen to anything while it's doing that oh why thank you Mariah Carey for providing this oh holy night track that you know how perfect we're getting a call right now I'm literally getting a call from my grandpa hello what time is he coming oh yeah we're gonna we're gonna do it tonight yeah we don't mind you're welcome lovey - bye so okay this is actually great now we don't have to like fake a phone call I could hear every single word that he said with perfect clarity and if you guys know my grandpa he has probably one of the thickest high accents in the world so I guess it was a perfect person to call as well so I was listening to music on Spotify and then when I got the call music immediately stopped and it said you have a call from three eight nine or whatever it didn't say you have a call from grandpa even though I have him saved as grandpa in the phone but it just listed the number which I guess is still fine I guess I could have answered the call with the button here boom that would've been a lot easier but muscle memory just did it with the phone as soon as the call was over the music just resumed playing I'd never do anything press a play or anything like that it just knew that I wanted to listen to Mariah Carey let's switch it up Travis Scott something with some bass so it sounds to me like there isn't a tremendous amount of bass pumping through these things which is kind of expected because they don't have a lot of space to work with to fit all that tech the same time highs and mids sound really good and the clarity of all the music I've listened to so far is undeniable I was just asking wifey sauce how the sound leakage was she did say that she could hear it around 5060 percent she was able start hearing what I was hearing so maybe you don't wear these in public if you're gonna be right next to someone let's say on a bus or on a train or something like that I can see these glasses working in a lot of different scenarios but I think for me personally I would find them the most practical for outdoor activities so say you have a morning commute every day to work on your bike or you walk to class or in between classes a bike ride on the beach hiking what I like about these wearables in that sense is that you have one less item that you have to carry around with you everywhere like your headphones or your earbuds it's all just kind of an integrated all-in-one solution that's pretty cool let me know what you think of these in the comments y'all and special thanks to Bose for sponsoring this video super thanks to you for watching toss a like on the video if you enjoyed it and get subscribed for more tech stuff coming at you really soon have a good one guys I will see you in the next video you're fired
