Can Bose Frames Replace Your Headphones?

So this has been like heavily requested. You guys are hitting me up. Everyone's telling me

Why didn't you check out these Bose frames yet? Uh, obviously legends in the headphone department

What is this? It's a frame, it's sunglasses, it's headphones, what's it's all combined

What is Bose doing making sunglasses? Well, I'm about to find out

These are the frames, these are the lenses, I don't know why do we have extra lenses? Will, can you tell me? What's going on

Will's telling me nothing right now. You buy them separate, so I guess it's just to your own taste

They actually make these in a couple of different frame styles. This my style

We'll find out. I got a big head, so these ones are called the Alto Black

These obviously more premium than anything I've checked out in the past. What is the price point, Will

200 bucks. Eh, okay. Not crazy. Now granted, they're not gonna be perfect for every single environment

Because you can't wear sunglasses everywhere unless you're Jack. I mean he's always got sunglasses on indoors, outdoors, doesn't matter at night

Jack Nicholson, there you are. Bose Connect app, I already have it because I have Bose headphones that I use

There's a power switch on there on the right temple. It's also straightforward, I think I can figure it out

Unboxing experience to this point you could tell it's a... What do you have? You have a case that looks like it is for sunglasses

That's because that's what these are. That ain't real leather, ladies and gentlemen

This is the sunglasses. It's a classic type of frame. Jack, you like this frame

See that's it's like a ray-ban sort of. You look at each individual arm and you realize there's something else at play

You have these connection points over here. I guessing that how you charge it up And that gonna give you your charge cable proprietary I guessing magnetic So this fits on just like a magnet that actually pretty nice I like that These lenses are just gonna be the same thing but mirrored finish

So if you're going for a different look, you have that option

Okay, here we go. Three, two, one. Actually, these are not too shabby

Am I fooling anyone? Jack, are you fooled? Little fooled? You might not double take that if you saw it in public

Now it says ready to connect for me over here. So let's go ahead. You know, Kirk, you see the guys there listening to the audio at the Blue Jays game

They're sitting in the crowd. They want to hear the commentary, though. This would be perfect for that

Those guys, they can still hear their surroundings. You see that, Jack? That's your surroundings. They can hear the surroundings, and you need the shades anyway

You're on the bike. You're a cycler. They're jogging. The beach folk, they got these on as well with the podcast playing, with the audiobook

learning, learning and living. All right, let's play some tunes real quick

Here we go. This is it from now on, Jack. Do videos like this, all right

Can you hear the music right now? Kirk hears it. Jack hears it

So I do have it maxed out at the moment. Okay, first of all, it sounds good

Like, I'm okay with it. It's not a substitute for headphones. Get that out of your mind immediately

You know what this is? You wanna know what this is? This is a soundtrack

This is a soundtrack. It's so passive. My spatial awareness is normal, but the music is around

You know what I mean It just floating It a layer within the environment You gonna hear it you can hear it listen so this implementation there benefits and drawbacks with the bone conduction stuff

there's more rumble and vibration in the low end this sounds like a small speaker near your ear

but it's very clear let's see what happens when there's a lot of bass

nothing nothing will is that the official performance on bass right there terrible

terrible bass just just just just crunchy kind of uh scrambled eggs mashed potatoes

popcorn popping all right well you're coming in get in here will what's the deal here well

you you got all this detail break it down for me so it does have a speaker on both sides okay

I've discovered that. It's got a one-button control. It allows you to power

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It accepts and rejects calls

Okay, okay, okay. Play pause music. Will's trying to work for Bose now

Google Assistant Siri. Okay, go ahead. Battery life, 3.5 hours of streaming music

It's up to two hours charge time and 30 feet of range for Bluetooth. Okay

That's all you got for me? Uh-huh. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, these are not headphones

These are not headphones. So you're not going to replace your headphones. You're not getting pumped up. You're not getting pumped up. No

You're not going to the gym. You're not lifting any weights. That's not what this product is. Okay

You're not getting lost in the tune. No. You understand It secondary The music is secondary When I put the Temptations on there I was okay I was floating a little bit Okay okay That a different that a very specific genre not requiring a ton of low end

You gonna put the modern stuff on here? Billie Eilish. It turns into a crunchy bar

You ever had that chocolate bar before? Yes, it's great. You had the crunchy with the toffee in the middle

It's a sponge toffee in there. Yeah. I see this as a supplementary device

It will not replace headphones, let's be clear. no let's be clear they do look decent the look is better than i expected the weight is better than

i expected if you want any base you got to go towards bone conduction you will get some base

there the bone conduction thing is totally different it's tickling you there's a tickle

so would you recommend no no no no no 200 you get some earbuds and some sunglasses

maybe it's my lifestyle I just can't immediately envision but guy like you

I can imagine golfers for some reason golfers I don't know why

he did it he did it he did it Willie Do bringing the heat today

he's right golfers will love this you want to try them on for the people you go sure
