The Bose Frames Tenor are a sophisticated pair of audio sunglasses that combine stylish design with innovative sound technology. Launched as part of Bose’s second generation of audio sunglasses, they build upon the success of the original Bose Frames released in 2019.
Design and Build Quality
The Tenor model features a refined square frame with a distinctive keyhole bridge, crafted from TR-90 nylon for durability and comfort. The frames are designed to look like standard sunglasses, making them suitable for everyday wear. They come equipped with polarized lenses that block up to 99% of UV rays, ensuring eye protection while outdoors. The glasses also have an IPX2 water resistance rating, providing some protection against dripping water but not suitable for submersion.
Audio Technology
At the heart of the Bose Frames Tenor is the exclusive Bose OpenAudio™ technology, which utilizes small 16mm speakers integrated into the temples. This design allows users to enjoy music and take calls without blocking their ears, enabling them to remain aware of their surroundings. The sound quality has been significantly improved compared to previous models, offering fuller and deeper audio performance with enhanced bass response.
Battery Life and Charging
The rechargeable battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous playback, which can vary based on usage patterns such as volume levels and content type. Charging is done via a proprietary pogo-pin cable, which has received mixed reviews due to its impracticality compared to more common USB-C charging options.
Controls and Connectivity
Bose Frames Tenor feature modern touch controls located on the right temple. Users can adjust volume by sliding their finger along the temple and access voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant with a double-tap. They connect via Bluetooth® A2DP for audio streaming and HFP for phone calls, maintaining a stable connection within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters).
Comfort and Fit
Designed for comfort during extended wear, the Bose Frames Tenor are lightweight and fit securely on most head sizes. However, some users may find them slightly bulkier than traditional sunglasses due to the integrated audio components.
Conclusion
Overall, the Bose Frames Tenor represent an innovative fusion of eyewear and audio technology, appealing particularly to those who value both style and functionality in outdoor settings. While they may not replace high-end headphones in terms of sound quality, they offer a unique listening experience that allows users to stay connected with their environment
