These are just a gimmick, which bose fans will fall for. Just like the 1 St gen airpods , the practicality and the performance at that price is absolute zero. If you are paying 200 + dollars for these they should atleast pump out descent base. Better to stick to sub 200 dollar audiotechnica and shure IEMs , if you are an audiophile.
@@Specter187 because most people are like me and buy the $20 to $30 polarized sunglasses at Walmart. A huge portion of the population don't think of sunglasses as a fashion item but as a tool or item to solve a problem.
You can control volume by head position and holding the button. Lenses are also changeable to clear or even prescription. You are spot on about the outside noise
Prescription and trans lenses are available at glasses USA especially for these. The 4 different lenses you can buy from Bose for them are very cool for only 20 each set. They weight 1.5 grams. How is that heavy?
So i bought a pair from Target the other night and i LOVE them so far!!! Sure, they could absolutely be louder in loud environments but most of their time they give me all the sound i need and then some. The convenience is uncanny and at $200 the price is absolutely reasonable for something this cool!!!
Most videos like this are unwatchable. She gets right to point. Goes out into the world and she is pleasant to watch. As for the content, air buds make more sense. Thank you for making this video.
I have the qc35 well I travel and what if ur siting next to someone on a plane and they hear and it’s weird to wear ur sunglasses a night and on a plane
People who are scoffing at the 3.5 hr usage.. how often are you outside if at all! Unless you work outside or enjoy the outdoors for hours on end, 3 hrs is nothing to scoff at. Think of your own personal usage. You’re probably outside just on the by-and-by to get to point A to point B, as most people are. 3hrs is plenty of usage time if you count for the fact you wouldn’t be using them ALL DAY, but just in between intervals of actually BEING OUTSIDE of your A/C’d work environment. These are pretty practical for being low-key. Just something to think about.
The moment I saw this video it just reminded me of that one episode Time Warp Trio where the main characters went to the future and saw headphone sunglasses! They are finally here!
My grandpa is blind, and he uses these glasses. He prefers them over wireless earbuds like the AirPods because he needs to be aware of the surroundings so he can’t cover his ears, these glasses allow him to answer calls or listen to some music without problems. My grandpa is very satisfied with this wearable, so if any of you have a blind relative or friend, these glasses may be useful for them.
If you wear a hoodie you can hear it much louder and the bass. Also it's excellent for podcasts and phone calls and notifications. Plus the AR audiojack is incredible. Not to mention only $20 for their other lenses in rose colour or light blue or mirrored pollazrized
Loved them until one of the legs broke. I loved the fact that I no longer had to fumble with two items. I do feel that they could have been stronger. Lets see how Bose customer service treats me. Hope I don't have to pay more than I already did.
Most designer sunglasses cost $300-400 so $200 isn’t bad for shades that do another function. Wish there were more frame styles and diff lens options. Wonder if they could use vibration tech instead
“Bose is known for its high-end speakers” Euh, no. Bose is good in making a big soundstage with small speakers, but that has nothing to do with making a high-end speaker.
Do any of you making these comments actually work in the audio engineering industry? Thought not. Let me fill in some gaps for you, here. The technical specifications of audio production have been pretty much stagnant since vacuum tubes were phased out about half a century ago. Audio manipulation, on the other hand, has improved drastically thanks to, among other things, a better scientific understanding of the mechanics of the human body and how it responds and reacts to pressure waves (in this case anywhere between 50hz and 20khz). There are a select few of us in this business with very good ears whose job it is to map out a soundstage and its characteristics produced by a given arrangement of sound wave-producing devices, be they mounted speakers, embedded PC speakers such as you might find in laptops, all the way down to headphones and this example here in sunglasses. Each depends on several properties, not least of which is the housing in which they are constructed. Different materials reflect or absorb sound waves in various ways, and it’s crucial to choose the correct one for the desired effect. Bose has, for decades now, been focused on what most consumers these days want in an audio product - as accurate a reproduction as possible of the music in question being performed live in front of them. Now, for obvious reasons, this isn’t exactly practical, because to achieve that you’d have to know exactly how the recording was setup from an engineering perspective. Add to that the fact that one pair of headphones or speakers has to be designed for an inevitably wide range of applications, in other words, different genres. If they tried to specialise and focus on one genre (some of you hold this as a definition of high-end audio), that product would likely sell very well in its own right, but would only appeal to a tiny portion of the market. The rules that govern all general-purpose consumer electronics also apply to consumer audio. Some of you are correct to state that Bose is not a high-end audio vendor, but that’s because they don’t intend to be. If you’ve read all that and reached this point, perhaps you’ll now think differently before summarily judging a company based off one user’s experience of one product, and instead you might acknowledge the fact that thousands of hours of work by people like me goes into the making of them.
I am hard of hearing in one year, when I put these on the first time I was shocked I could hear properly for the first time in years! It left a huge smile on my face and I remember thinking, I hope someone out there keeps working on this technology. I can't wait for the next version! 😁
This is not a head phone replacement this is a solution for commuters who use bicycles skateboards etc to go to work so this way it's easy for them to hear there surroundings and be more alert
All these reviews are missing the point of open ear "headphones" the only thing to compare these too are Bone Conduction (like Aftershokz)where you want to hear your surroundings. these have more utility than those due to also being sunglasses and having clear sound but lose in battery and over all loudness. If you want to be lowkey and listen to music (podcasts anyone!?) and not be hit by a car these are great. Also who actually swims with any headphones or sunglasses?! and to the people that say I have both these things cheaper please price Airpods(are any HIGHend true wireless buds) and Raybans (
I mean. There are raybans that easily cost that much. The music is a plus i guess. The round ones look cool if you have the right face structure for it
I tried these on at target and considering I work outside and I’m not supposed to use headphones, these are perfectly made for me and fell in love with them. The perfect solution for my love for music and work
You can hear it indoors when you don’t need sunglasses. You can wear sunglasses outdoors but can’t listen to music. That’s quite intelligent. Must say!
Why would anyone buy these you would legit have to wear them everywhere like inside your house n stuff, youre better off getting airpods which are cheaper
200 is cheap for a bose headset. 200 is also a realistic price for a 'name brand' set of sunglasses. This is both combined which is an incredible value.

It's a first gen product, next version will be smaller and allow prescription lenses.
It's a gimmick nobody is gonna buy this LoL
@@goofball1_134 I'll just buy a glasses... And an earphone
and better build quality
Prescription lenses are available at glasses USA
You can replace the lenses with polarized and/or prescription lenses.

You might as well wear bluetooth earbuds and use regular sunglasses instead of using this
Your thought process is *INCREDIBLE*
Justin Y.
Would definitely be cheaper and more worth it.
First time you actually make sense
True
Unless you want to listen to music at work or during class
In the next iteration I hope they'll opt for bone conduction instead of traditional speaker. Because we can't hear them in crowdy places
Venkat Bhaskar i was thinking about that too
@1234coolman nope
Bone conducting limits bass though
@@christiandamore4284 the bass on these suck already

"This is disappointing because I wanna go underwater" wtf you would wear sunglasses in the beach UNDER water?
She said wear them in the water, not go underwater.
Ikr! I thought the same!
Bose is so not high-end audio. It’s high-end consumer lifestyle.
Bs
Even this is not "high-end consumer".
@@profitglen Very true
👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah
I purchased these glasses a couple of weeks ago and I love them so far. I wear them on top of my head at work while playing music and nobody knows.🤣
"As for the price, they cost two. hundred. dollars!"
That's nothing compared to regular glasses.
Pseudynom my raybans cost 2bills, I don’t why people think sun glasses are cheap

My parents reaction: 0:18
You can control volume by head position and holding the button. Lenses are also changeable to clear or even prescription. You are spot on about the outside noise
Good point I'm going to change them to clear lenses and pretend like I wear glasses
Ill wait until they make them better and the tech is there.
I mean if they made prescription versions that would be cool so I could listen to music at work lol
You can change the lenses from what I was told during the Bose San Diego Game Jam this weekend.
You can change the lenses to transition lenses
I just saw an email that they’re available with prescription
They do! I actually just got the prescription glasses not sunglasses. So far so good.
Start manufacturing with transparent glass. I would buy them, my exams are near.
0:25 is the best reaction of your coworker 🤣
Or you could just use your imagination for $0.
Chi chan Honestly 😂
I am not going to pretend to listen to music 😂😂
I wish you could dislike comments, and it would actually show.
Rather imagine that u never saw the glasses instead 😂
Just joking........
Also you could read scores :v

Apple and Samsung watching this: did u write that down?!
Worker: yes
Apple and Samsung: and make sure to double the price!!!
If I used these, I would have to wear these on top of my normal glasses to listen to music
Impressive to hear a spectacle like this

high quality sunglassses..bose tech music? nothing in my ear? i love it..
The purpose of this is "safety", to hear the environment while listening to music on the go. The audio is similar to bone conduction earphone.
*Spiderman Far From Home fans had joined the chat*

Playing golf with these is lit!
Great for work places that don’t allow headphones DUDE
You can adjust volume. To adjust the volume you side in your finger left and right on the temples.

You think for the price point of $200 they would design a pair of glasses someone would WANT to wear.

Isnt this what master roshi used once?
Baby Driver would of loved these.
I need this for my exam
Is this some kind of rich person video that I’m too broke to understand
Now I’m sad
Also make the Rondo to come in bigger frame sizes so that they can fit perfectly.

200 bucks is cheaper then ray bans! I dont wear my sunglasses underwear, at night, or inside so I'm good there lol
Work:no earbuds. Me buys these and puts my prescription lenses in them. What are you going to do? Tell me to not see
Wear this to school and and play your songs in boring classes

"I want these
Wait a min i cant wear those
I have specs"😆😆
I want them in fake prescription glasses so I can wear my contacts and take these to work
i want MKBHD to review this. I trust his review more
I wish I could have them without the actual sun glass bit... to watch tv with.
Just got them 4 days ago and then this video got uploaded
