What was the price for the prescription because as of now the bose frames retail for $250 and thats not with prescription?And were you not afraid of your optimologist breaking your frames because its not covered under warranty if damaged from adding prescription is it?Thanks!
Thank you for this video! I recently started running and bought those frames so I don't have to wear uncomfortable in ears or unnecessarily huge over ear headphones. Since bose does offer replaceable lenses I was wondering if I could fit prescription glasses in it. I hab transitioning glasses in the early 2000s and they looked really shitty when darkened down. Yours look awesome though! Would you mind sharing what brand of glasses you got? Thanks! 👍
Have you found it easy to swap out back to the original sunglass lenses (or have you tried)? Like you I bought transitions lenses. I ordered mine direct from Bose/Lensabl with my FSA so I’ll have to buy sunglass lenses for $30 from Best Buy. I wear contacts more often so I still want to use them as pure sunglasses.
@@schmittieus They did give me the original lenses. I’ve never popped them back in because my prescription lenses are a high index and I’m concerned about popping those thick glass lenses in and out of the plastic frame and wearing it out over time. Even the guys at my nearby Bose store (before they closed) thought it was smart not to do that. I have the Alto style, for you I’d recommend looking at the Tenor style up close in a store and picturing swapping those lenses with prescription ones (however thick they’d be for you) multiple times and see how well you think it would hold up. Also, a word on Lensabl. It took me a month to get my frames, that was because they had to remill the lenses twice to get them right. They’re frustrating to communicate with (only email at the time and they’re slow to respond) but in the end I was happy with the result and being able to use my FSA to buy audio sunglasses was awesome.
Thank you so much for making this! I'm currently 11 and am saving up to buy this but I wear prescription glasses and want to switch these for prescriptions! Thanks for the help!
@@KenVersus I know this is old, but they had no issues replacing the lenses? I was thinking of doing this too. I want to go to the gym with them and it is really weird to get in with sun glasses.
its just 2 months since i bought new glasses with Transitions Photochromatic Lenses. 500 dollars in total. but really want to try the bose frames with Prescription lenses allso..
I'm waiting on mine to get done by a company in California (I live in Maryland). Mine is the Tenor, not the Alto. I ordered Transitions Vantage with Trivex premium anti-reflextive and anti-fog lenses. What do you think about these lenses and options? I can't wait to get them! Thanks for your video. 👍🙂
Ya I bought my last pair of glasses online at zenni but I'm sure most of them are about the same but I paid like $70 for the flexibility frames and transition lenes or knock offs but still that's like 1/3 of what much lesser options I have gotten in person before but they said they don't do that for your own frames

You mention lenscrafters? Did you have to leave your frames with them or they had it already available? How much did it cost for the transition lens?

I got Transitions gen 7 lens for my Bose frames. There are the newer gen 8 that are darker.
Hi do you have any issues with these frames? There has been some reports of the connection cable failing after the 1 year warranty.
I have no issues with mine. But I don’t throw them around. I put them in the case when done.

They pop in and out easy enough.
How are they? I am about to order transition lenses from lensabl with tenor frames. Did they give you the original Bose lenses?

They have new styles now in addition to the Altos and Rondo. Tenor and Soprano as well
@@KenVersus how much does it cost to switch them out for transitions?

They didn’t have issues making the lenses for the Bose. They have a machine that traces the opening of any glasses and makes them fit perfectly.
@@KenVersus Thanks!
Hello !! Hey which store you purchase them ?
And I also do need to put in oerscriptionkenses, as I am very nearsighted
Question
How is sound compared to Amazon echo framed
How much did you spent on the prescription?
its just 2 months since i bought new glasses with Transitions Photochromatic Lenses. 500 dollars in total. but really want to try the bose frames with Prescription lenses allso..
I guess I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Leo Eden I watch on flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Harry Johan Yea, have been watching on FlixZone for since april myself =)
@Harry Johan thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !!
@Leo Eden you are welcome :D
Would these be good for every day use like as normal prescription glasses.
Yes, I wear them when at work on the computer. I am usually making phone calls with them. Or for music

Anti fog is nice. i wish I got that.
I still use mine for work. I like using the Bose as a headset to make calls and listen to music.
I wish I had anti fog as well.
You posted this about 6 months ago...how has it worked out? Any changes you wish you'd made?
I like them however, I may go with the Transitions Xtractive with a mirror finish next time.
How much did it cost to make the lenses ?
Cost me $270 in Canada with anti reflective as well.
Cool but no use as sunglasses in the car because the glass blocks the UV.
Great video. Could you shared where you did it?
Lens crafters or any eyewear place can do it.
Not same day tho.
Where did you get your rubber for your nostril?
I got them from Amazon. Search for “anti-slip nose pads for glasses”
What is it called?
What’s the name on amazon for these nose pads?
How much did you pay ?
Thanks
$300 at lens crafters. But prices varies alot depending if you have insurance. Shop around

Lol he said big rim 😅😅😅 thanks..
Bruh, you don’t need a prescription with those values.
Wear them dude ! You didn't feel confident enough with your sunglasses cause you didn't wear them.
