$250 is way too much for what you're getting. It's cheaper to buy sunglasses and earbuds
Limited battery life, Proprietary charge connector, Controls are limited, No support for prescription lenses, You tend to look like strange wearing them at night
The Bose Frames are really unusual. As a concept, and as an execution.On the one hand, the idea is cute, and very cool. Sure, there's a hipster gauge to the whole schtick, and it's hard to overlook: it's a pair of sunglasses with sound inside.What sort of...

Short battery life, No prescription lenses, AR?, So-so build quality
It'd to easy to write the Bose Frames as only the latest effort by Bose to explore the periphery of the core listening experiences they've dominated in the past or their latest weird bit of experimental tech. Fortunately, it's also their most compelling e...
