Meet Bose Frames, the first audio sunglasses from Bose. Miniaturized Bose speakers — hidden in the temples — produce rich, immersive sound for you, while others hear practically nothing. It’s a revolutionary personal audio experience embedded in a classic design.
Bose Frames let you hear & interact with the world around you, while discreetly listening to audio of your choice. But it can be frustrating to have to take out your phone to adjust the volume- breaking the connection with your environment. With Press & Turn volume control, all you have to do to turn your volume up or down is press the button on your Frames & look left or right. Your phone stays right in your pocket or bag. And you move freely throughout your day.
