Soundcore have now entered the bluetooth glasses game with their brand new FRAMES. They offer a much more sleek (and interchangeable) design than the competitors and might just be the best bluetooth glasses under $200! This is my in-depth look into everything they offer, and why I think these are much better alternative to Bose Frames.

Thank you for including the microphone test. Very informative video! Thumbed up
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
At work I spend a large amount of time on my own and am constantly monitored by cctv. Not allowed earbuds or bluetooth speakers so these will be ideal for entertaining myself under the radar. Got a set of clear lenses and the sunglasses so set for those long shifts
Nice! It’s cool to hear about these niche scenarios where the frames might come in handy!
@@insidetechltd same here. As a waiter, having these audio glass with prescription lense is a godsend. Literally no one suspect a thing
Great review as per usual! X
Thank you! 💚
This video is 🔥
I appreciate it, thank you!
These look much nicer than the 2nd gen Bose. It's all about sound quality though... Hard to imagine those thin arms can produce better sound than the chunky bose
It's a very good point. I think Soundcore can compensate for this with the speaker design surrounding the ear - that definitely helps with the sound a lot. I personally feel that it's less important when the sound is open to your environment anyway though. The external noise, wind etc will affect sound quality to a greater extent than the difference in audio quality between Bose and Soundcore I think
I'd rather have better looks than great sound quality on this type of product
Just pulled the trigger on a pair plus to two pair of frames!
Nice, I hope you like them!
Please can you tell me if the lenses offer 100%UV protection? and do the lenses have CE or UKCA certification?
For most of the lenses it’s up to 99% protection against UVA/B. Not sure about the certifications, sorry!
Do the speakers work independently or do you have to listen to both simultaneously?
They play together in stereo
What's the actual scenario or a usecase when you'd wear them though?
As far as the review goes, unsurprisingly good.
"actual scenario" - more of a gimmick to be honest, so probably near your local Starbucks or other "trendy" place :D
I'm going to use mine when out walking, like walking my dog. I can also see myself wearing these while biking - a safer option than earbuds. I must admit though that with winter on the horizon I might not get much use out of them until the spring 😅
@@insidetechltd yeah biking was the first (and only) idea I had, maybe if they do an prescription option - going back home in a rough neighborhood for more situational awareness :D
All of the frames can have your prescription lenses inserted into them!
Driving long distance for companies who ban bluetooth audio devices in the cab. First set ive seen discrete ebough for me to have a good chance to use unser the radar without being disciplined. Understand this is niche
i've been waiting for anker to release these
Reckon you'll buy a pair? 👀
@@insidetechltd yes, but im trying to figure out if they sound better than bose. im not a fan for Bose Frames' design, they look too nerdy for me
Lew brought me here
Nice 👌🏼
Are the lenses replaceable? like for prescriptions?
Yes! I'm still checking which frames this can be done with because potentially it's only certain frames that this works with. But i'll update you once I know more!
Allie Sherlock brought me here.
Why? 😂
How is the sound leakage in a quiet room
Unless the volume is extremely low (and using private listening mode), anyone else in the room will likely be able to hear the speakers
@@insidetechltd i hope they sound good for watching RUclips videos where it’s mostly just voice not music. Really considering these especially for the interchangeable frames
These seem cool..But can I hear music loudly without anyone heading my music..???
That’s the whole ideal..Listen to your music…but no one else…Why wouldn’t sound core have this option????
I think the technology just doesn't exist yet. If you have an open speaker, there's a chance someone else will hear it too. You could go down the bone conduction route to minimise sound leakage, but you lose out on audio clarity 🤷♂️
Wonder if SC has same or better bass than Bose.?thanks
General consensus seems to be that Bose has more bass by default, but Soundcore lets you adjust the sound with an EQ, so you've got customisation
Lol that ginger looking at you weirdly. Nice review though.
I get lots of weird looks when filming in public 😅
I agree these are best attempt at bluetooth glasses but they missed at least 2 tricks:
1) They should have launched with prescription lens online partners with their dimensions shared for the compatible lens so you can buy some compatible lenses or frames with lens. At least one partner per major markets (USA, UK, DE, CA).
2) They should have addressed the sports and specific large verticals sectors. So cycling frames and eye protection for construction.
Going forward they also need to make compatible with the connector so lens investment can still benefit from newer arms.
Chances are those who buy this 1st version will have buyer's regret as you can see how they will be improving the sound and the microphones in the next version, so the best bluetooth glasses will be the successors to these.
The only issue with prescription lens options at the time of purchase is increased cost. It would be ideal if this could be done easily, but partnering up would have a significant cost impact, this would then need to be passed onto the consumer and make the frames more expensive. So I can understand why it’s been left as a sort of “do it yourself” for adding in your own prescription lenses.
I think more frame styles (including sports styles) is definitely a potential avenue to explore though! Not so sure about eye protection because then you’re bringing in a whole new safety aspect. Soundcore are an audio brand company, so this would need a lot of research and would have legal ramifications as soon as you introduce a safety element.
I don’t necessarily think people will have buyers remorse because of the mic and sound quality - that’s already a strength of the frames! But it’s inevitable that the “next gen” of a product will better the first!
@@insidetechltd I meant you have had it so you buy lenses from a partner have them been shared the lens thickness and size and some of the 10 frames having lenses you can buy. So it would not increase cost for everyone, only those who wanted prescription. As it is now, it's down to each individual to figure it out locally and EVENTUALLY they share how they did so others can follow. I am not advocating Soundcore sell prescription lenses, they just let a click-thru type to partners who you pay separately.
Are these loud enough to hear while riding a lawn mower ?
I very much doubt it, unless you have a relatively quiet electric one. Your ears are completely open so I reckon a lawn mower would drown out what you’re trying to listen to
Honestly after trying all the previous speaker glasses - they all sucked, so under or over 200, I think price doesn't really matter
That's fair enough, these aren't going to be for everyone! I didn't think i'd be interested but liked them a lot more after trying them. Plenty of people who like to hear their surroundings outdoors though (and who don't find that earbuds fit well or that 'transparency' mode is enough)
@@insidetechltd yeah I was looking at this kind of gadget for biking myself, it's just a shame that the audio quality is just lackluster ;(
I think that's always going to be the case with an open speaker design. Maybe combining it with bone conduction technology could help improve the bass for future models? Ultimately though I think people should accept that you won't get the same audio fidelity on your glasses as you would earphones/headphones 🤷♂️
First
MVP! 👊🏼
I think you really missed the mark when comparing these to earbuds. Some of the higher end buds have an ambient pass through mode that allow you to hear your surroundings, but generally, they will get you hit by a car if they don't have that feature. When I wear my soundcore frames to work my coworkers assume I'm hung over, but it let's me listen to music and hear them at the same time. You seem to place a lot of stock in aesthetics, but we're not all as pretty as you are, and the most stylish sunglasses won't help. I think I'll prefer Bose sound quality, and don't care what others think of their appearance or the fact that I'm wearing bluetooth glasses. I've ordered Bose Tempo, and can't wait to compare them to the Soundcore frames.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I highlighted how the audio experience is different from earbuds, including the cons. But I did specifically say that these aren't going to replace earbuds (and aren't designed to) and that they offer a different listening experience. I talked about how Frames let your ears stay open to your surroundings and how they give you a sense of 'freedom and convenience that even earbuds don't necessarily give you'. I'm not sure if you wrote your comment before listening to the whole video, but I feel I not only touched on your points, but specifically made them myself too.
As for placing an emphasis on the aesthetics: these are a device to be worn on your face...I think the appearance is a major factor (in a way that earbuds are not). I also highlighted appearance since this is the main major benefit over competitors - people typically want to know "why should I get these over X..."
Anyway, thanks for watching - I genuinely appreciate it!
@@insidetechltd I had watched the whole video. I'm sorry. I guess I just didn't pay enough attention. I do prioritize sound over style, but not everyone has the same priorities.
No worries, I hope you enjoy the Bose ones instead - i'd be interested to know how you get on with them!
@@insidetechltd The Bose have a much warmer midrange, but it seems to drag the highs down. It doesn't do well with symbols. They get much louder, and don't distort like the soundcore do at higher volumes. They use a USB type C charger, so bo worries about the manufacturer not selling the charging cable separately. The downsides are that I'm stuck with one style, there's no EQ adjustment in the app, no firmware updates, the controls aren't as user friendly. Press button once for play/pause, press twice for track forward, press three times for track back, swipe for volume. As far as I can tell, there's no way to activate voice assistant, and trying to feel out that little button for the controls isn't nearly as quick and easy as just tapping or swiping the side. Overall, I find myself wishing for a Bose Soundcore Hybrid, with Bose sound (better highs added), battery life, and tempo frames, with Soundcore controls, voice assistant, USB C charging, app, and replaceable frames. Neither of them have bass, but as I've said before, Bose has more midrange bass. Hope this helps.
I pass on these. #1. They are too expensive. I had already reached the conclusion that I could use a pair of iPod-esque TWS and regular sunglasses to the same end at a fraction of the price. #2. Soundcore is passive aggressive. On the one hand they really do have Excellent customer service but on the other if you take them up on a great sounding(pun fully intended)pre launch offer, you're to see a supposedly updated version with more colors features and other options 4 or 5 months after money is spent and the customer is thinking "You're" state of the art with their products. Then lo and behold here comes the "New Version"! And hasn't even been 6 months nevermind a year. That really ticks me off BIG TIME!
I think this happens across the entire tech industry though really. It moves along so fast that there's always new tech on the horizon - so you've just got to be happy with your offer at the time and nothing else matters!
Actual prescription sunglasses are more expensive and these play music.
Tech is just that way. Bought earbuds recently and now I see this. I'm not mad about it. It's exciting and interesting to see what the future has in store. New tech is just a sign of human innovation. As long as people aren't killing themselves with stress, and the company treats them right - than everything should be good.
I thought this was a joke.
These are very much real!
They actually bricked under a month.worse purchase.
Sorry to hear that!
Naomi Wu reviewed these and made the obvious observation, what you going to do when your battery runs out, no glasses whilst you charge them, no ear buds whilst you charge them. With a pair of Ray-bans and a set of AKG earbuds, you have both, all day. charge them when you sleep. You lost the chance of a subscriber by not being up front.................... I guess that is why she has 100x the number of subscribers!
Wow, hard to know where to begin with this comment...
So you can still keep wearing Frames as normal sunglasses when the battery runs out...just like any other pair of glasses.
If a pair of earbuds runs out of battery, you can't listen to music. Just like Frames. You can also charge these whilst you sleep...so no difference there.
There was nothing to be 'up front' about with these points because what you're saying affects both products in the same way - it's just that here you're combining two products into one. I'm also completely happy to miss out on a subscriber from someone who's quick to try and tease a RUclipsr for 'missing out' on their sub - especially for such a ridiculous reason. That's not really the vibe in this community.
I'm not in competition with other RUclipsrs.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Whoosh! Instead of denial, you could have realised your error. Instead your ego confirmed my suspicion, learn from it, or feel hurt.
Denying what? Everything he said is true and you’re just moaning about nothing…why you coming to the comments all butt hurt for no reason? 👀
“You lost the chance of a subscriber”. Hahaha pathetic. Like he gives a crap about you 😂😂😂😂
Why do you feel the need for a review to have such a patently obvious point included? Its like a car review asking what you'd do for transport when the car is out of gas. You can't drive while pumping the gas, so that's a knock against the car. Anyone with half a functioning brain cell would be able to realize that you can't use a thing while charging a thing. So why do you need to be spoon fed this incredibly asinine piece of information?
