Questions & Answers

What if I need prescription lenses instead of the ones I have?

In short, yes. The two pairs of lenses I had belonged to someone who does wear prescription lenses. Using transitions lenses, GlassesUSA sells readers that can hold 25 diopters. It's now possible for me to use them both indoors and outdoors. The process takes about two minutes. The wait was five weeks long, but the effort was worth it. If you would like to access the correct page, you need to search for Bose Alto lenses and then

What happens if I play music on my sunglasses and someone else hears it?

I would not recommend it. You could do that if you crank it to 100, but I don't regularly do that I have it set at 30 It is only me who hears the music and it is not heard by others. If you turn it all the way up, it sounds like garbage anyhow

Can you tell me how long the battery life is?

It took 10 minutes for the battery to be drained after constant use for half an hour About 15 percent. It took less than 20 minutes for the battery to charge from 50% to 100%.

What does the audio sound like? Can others around you hear it?

Your music can be heard by others if you are in a quiet room or if you have it turned up too loudly. It should not be loud enough for other people to hear it if it is not loud enough for you.

Working with Spotify is not recommended
3/5

As with the frames, the sound is important. I had a good experience until I realized they only work with iTunes, not There will be no changeover. A frame has been returned. I would like to hear when Spotify will be included.

A great pair of Bluetooth sunglasses, but do not purchase these expecting too much from them
4/5

As of now, I have multiple pairs of headphones. Sometimes, though, I don't feel like wearing them when I go for a walk. In that regard, the bluetooth glasses are a good choice.

The quality of the build appears to be fine. Although the arms are plastic, they are not stiff. For most guys, the Alto is the way to go. I find the Rondo to be a very small shoe. You may be able to fit your head into the rondo if you have a smaller head size. There is not much sun resistance with these, but they are decent at blocking the sun's rays. At this price point, there are a few pairs of analog glasses that perform better. You will also receive a carrying case and USB magnetic charging cable with the unit. In order to charge, a magnet is clipped to one of the arms. The same as you would see on a few Macbook Pros. As well as being able to view your phone, these glasses allow you to make phone calls. This is always appreciated. * *

You can simply flip them upside down to shut them off. Once they shut off, they will remain off for a while. Can you tell me how the sound is? As far as it goes, it's decent. The information provided is sufficient. There will not be a sound like those of the Quiet comfort 35's. Occasionally, I think some people expect too much from specific devices that are physically not able to meet their expectations. You can hear speakers on each arm that are aimed at your ears. It is possible to hear sound leakage when the volume is I don't mind it, as long as I am not too close to the person. There is pretty much half truth to the claim that you can hear the sound only. There appears to be no problem with battery life. You won't get anything even close to a full pair of wireless headphones from this. Which of these would you recommend? I would buy these if you want sunglasses that block out the sun, and they come with Bluetooth capabilities. But as I said, understanding the limitations of this product is very important before purchasing. If you choose to purchase this product, it's up to you.

A Bose frame experience
4/5

Bose Fuses Alto Frame recently purchased. The main purpose of these shoes was for walking the dog and for playing golf (both after practice and on a course). In this review, I will provide a quick overview of what I have learned about them over the last week. My first reaction when I opened the box was to be dissatisfied because the sunglasses do not look like high end ones. I think they look like 3D glasses from Disney World with their mat finish. There are a couple of large bows in the case and the case itself looks "thick. ". I placed them on my reservations, but their appearance disappeared once they were there. In my opinion, the lens is a very strong optical piece and provides a very clear, shaped image that is comparable to the one I use on my golf clubs from Maui Jim. Since I am very comfortable both wearing the glasses and worrying about the bows' thickness, I did not have any problems with them. would have preferred a piece of rubber or padding on the nosepiece, but I didn't have any issues with them sliding down. My hands were very cold as I was listening to the music, but I was very impressed with the sound of the speakers and the fact that no one else could hear it either. My partner and I played golf on a windy day and we never had any trouble hearing the music (or cussing). However, they could not hear what I was listening to, so I was safe from harassment. Obviously, there will be no good bass since you cannot listen to the music through speakers that cover your ears or the ones that are in your ears, but I was quite satisfied with the sound quality. I was able to achieve a very good battery life. The volume was just right for me, and they lasted for nearly 4 hours (just a tad over 4 hours total). Since I paused the music once in a while, I did not play it continuously, but I am certain I listened to the music for 3 hours without noticing. Besides the impressive range of bluetooth, I was also amazed by the quality of the connection. When I had my phone in my bag, I often had to walk 25 yards from it and my connection would never drop. In the event that I did get too far away from the frames, I was notified and they repaired the frame once I came back My Apple watch made it easy to pause songs, and there was the option for me to adjust the volume from there as well. There is nothing wrong with the looks of the frames, but I find the special charging cable to be a con. It would have been better if they had used a USB cable instead of the special charger. Because I am sure I will want to be able to charge them in multiple areas, I am not sure where to buy additional chargers. These are definitely worth a try. The following is a translation of Clark Averill's original.

The hype lives up to the expectations
5/5

The experience I have had thus far with these products is very good. I read reviews complaining that the glasses require an app to use, but that's not surprising given the brand. I'm not surprised by the audio quality, but it's not what I expected. The app has not been used by me except to set it up at first. In fact, I only used it once more to see the list of AR applications. Only one flaw I have found so far, and it's so minor it's almost petty, is that when you turn off the glasses and turn them on again, they don't automatically connect to whatever device you are using Connect it in the settings by going to the settings menu. There should be a software update that can fix that. Aside from that, the microphone is impressively sensitive. I tested the sound pick-up by whispering during a phone call. The other party was able to hear me clear as day. Overall I could not be happier. In my experience as a manufacturing worker, I am curious to see how this technology can be adapted for hands-free communication.
