Overview
The original Bose Frames debuted in 2019 and quickly became one of our most popular products. Now the sequel is here. Thoughtfully refined and strikingly elegant, Bose Frames Soprano flaunt polarised lenses and premium craftsmanship, while exclusive Bose OpenAudio™ technology produces sound that you’d never expect from sunglasses. It’s a jaw-dropping experience that leaves you free to engage with the world around you while discreetly listening to music.
That’s the difference, a revolutionary Bose OpenAudio™ design that frees you to hear and interact with the world around you, all while discreetly listening to music. An exclusive, wafer-thin acoustic package hidden in the temples produces lifelike sound, while an innovative design drastically reduces the spread of sound beyond you.
With seamless capacitive touch and an integrated motion sensor, these cat-eye Bluetooth sunglasses’ controls are as modern as their concept. Slide your finger along the right temple to adjust the volume. Double-tap to access your phone’s voice assistant. And when you’re done, take them off and place them upside down. They’ll sense the movement and turn off.
