Bose now sells sunglassess that act as headphones

[Jarrod38]

Came across these while searching on Best Buy's website. They cost around $200 which is not bad for something new but according to the second video they have a battery life of 3 and half hours and take 2 hours to charge.

Seems like a cool idea, thought they were the bone conducting tech not a speaker/noise cancelling set up. That two hour recharge time for 3 1/2 hours of playback is rough though.

 

[shnurgleton]

Yup I have a pair and they're weird but cool. Good for biking where I wanna stay aware of traffic but still listen to stuff

 

[Lord Azrael]

Tried them out and they are definitely cool. Don't wear sunglasses though

 

[Deleted member 36054]

That battery life looks awful

 

[Deleted member 176]

who would ever be caught dead in sunglasses that look like that tho

 

[Isilia]

But can you wear them at night?

how else are you suppose to keep track of the visions in your eyes?

 

[dlauv]

I can't imagine a more perfect summer combo than a pair of these and a segway.

 

[Slayven]

They look so cheap

Close

And for the record, the sound on this thing isn't half bad.

They look a lot like your average Ray-Ban knock off.

 

[Halbrand]

Anyone have these? I tried them in store and they sounded pretty good, seriously considering buying them now.

 

[TrueSloth]

I'd like something that just goes around my ear and I'd get the same experience.

Oakley has done this for years - it didn't take off then..

 

[Tuppen]

Looks cool but as others have said the battery life needs to improve.

The zungle was an ugly ass abomination with glaring polarized lenses, these look like decent RauBans at the very least.

 

[Eila]

What AR features are we talking about here?

 

[aisback]

I have these but I hardly use them.

I like using them when I'm sat outside in the sun

 

[Anti]

Bose products are so fkn bad, the quality is horrendus.

 

[Kismet]

Look like cheap 3D glassess.

 

[Boy Wander]

Let's hope that they're better than their shitty speakers.

 

[MrKlaw]

Battery life is ok but that charge time is very bad.

They need a charging sunglasses case that lets you too up the charge in 15-20 mins like AirPods etc.

 

[Halbrand]

Just bought these and figuring out what they can do but the coolest feature so far is being able to use Siri on glasses and activating it with a button.

If they don't call these GlarePods I will be very, very upset.

Plz kill me nao

 

[Dynamite Cop]

I saw these in person at a local Best Buy and the plastic frame looks cheap as hell. Like someone said, they're pretty similar to the 3D glasses you wear at a movie theater.

 

[Halbrand]

I think the ridiculously long amount of time it takes to charge is almost worse than the battery life itself

 

[Bigwombat]

Manny got caught wearing Oakley thumps back on July 6th 2005 so these have been around for a while. They were mp3 players back then but he used them in the outfield during the game.can't say I blame him either.

 

[PersonAndStuff]

So now I can discretely look at women's butts and listen to podcasts.

 

[Halbrand]

Almost done my 30 day return period and I've decided to keep them. I've got to say, owning them has made me realize how stupid my AirPods look in comparison.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Cool idea but that battery life is far too short

 

[refusi0n1]

Bone conduct me some sweet non distorted bass and we can talk
