In my opinion 5 star reviews get thrown around all the time, so I try my best to save such a rating for products that really make me stop and think about what they’re providing people with from a final user standpoint.Fit: It is great, the lenses are great (2 other choices are available for a very reasonable price) and aren’t too heavy, and aside from a slight bulge around the hinge and down the stem, they aren’t really all that odd looking or uncomfortable.Sound: Something that someone might get upset about with these is the sound quality. These are not going to give you big booming bass like a soundbar level or beats-esque. They are also not going to give you audiophile soundstage. But instead they are about giving you audio and ambient sound at the same time. And they do it well enough all things considered. Audio is loud enough and very clear in all but the noisiest of environments.Battery life has been a non-issue and I’ve gone 2 work days listening to audio books about 5 hours each day and have gotten down to 20% battery, so I’d say you can expect ~12 hours per charge cycle, and connecting through the Bose Music app is painless and Bluetooth connection takes a couple seconds. During all my usages no dropping or issues with staying connected.I got these through review program, but easy recommendation at full price, if you can find them on sale and don’t pull the trigger on them you are missing out. Really good product from the engineers at Bose.

Very comfortable, wore for hours and forgot I had them on. Bought replacement lenses, the yellow are great for night, twilight or indoor. I use them inside and take calls for remote work on them. Lenses are quality and easy to swap after you do a few. Stay immersed in the environment with background music or audio.

This version of the Bose frames is a complete improvement from the original pair. The design feels secure on the face for even the most intense workouts, the battery life has been upgraded and they look sleeker. The sound quality is surprisingly better than most earbuds on the market and much more comfortable to wear. I love the dark lenses for outside, however indoor lenses for working at a computer would be welcome. Highly recommend!

Pro’s:-Excellent Sound Quality-Great situational awareness-Sturdy-Comfortable, yet snug fit (very un-likely to fall off due to motion or wind).-Excellent rain resistance-Good quality lenses-Good overall quality you’d associate with BoseCon’s:-Poor assistant capabilities. Despite the Bose representative’s timely response, the assistant built-in appears to be Google Now, which is a dumb downed version of Google Assistant and is much less functional. (I am legally blind and found this virtually useless compared to the full Google Assistant found in my Bose C 700 headphones which works very well.-Tap controls works poorly. Typically out of 3 attempts to trigger the assistant, only 1 would be successful despite spending many hours trying to get the feel for it.-Assistant audio cue worked erratically. When the assistant was triggered about the half the time there was no tone to indicate it was waiting for a response.Overall:-These are very good for listening to music without disturbing others around you. There is noticeable sound leakage in quiet environments though (more so than my Bose Altos). The sound separation is excellent and the sound imaging is very crisp, as you’d expect from Bose. I would highly recommend these to people who want to listen to high quality sound while exercising and want to be aware of their surroundings. I would not recommend these to those who wish to use the frames in lieu of their phone’s assistant. You will need to pull your phone out of your pocket. Finally, I dropped 1 point for the overall assistant experience. If Bose fixes this with a firmware update, I would grant these a 5 star without hesitation. Although the connection was solid, like virtually all my Bose bluetooth devices these constantly kept losing connection to the Bose app.

Takes care of two things at once. Really good sunglasses and very good sound. I just wish there was a bit more headroom on the volume. The fidelity is excellent, but I need a little more volume typically. Also, When you cup your hands under the earpieces you get even better quality. Maybe a slight design modification would help. At any rate, I highly recommend this product for sound quality and decent comfort.
