Review on ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Bose Frames Tempo - Polarized Sports Audio Sunglasses with Bluetooth Connectivity in Black by Michael Hogate

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazing sound, poor help features

Pros: - Excellent sound quality - Excellent situational awareness - Sturdy - Comfortable but snug fit (very unlikely to be dropped by traffic or wind). - Excellent rain resistance - High quality lenses. A good overall quality that can be associated with BoseCon: Poor assistant functions. Despite a timely response from a Bose rep, the built-in assistant appears to be Google Now, a dumb version of Google Assistant and a lot less functional. (I'm legally blind and have found this to be practically useless compared to the full google assistant in my Bose C 700 headphones, which works very well. The touch controls don't work well. Usually out of 3 tries, the assistant to call, only 1 will be successful, although I swiped for many hours to get a feel for it.- Assistant's beep was erratic.When Assistant beeped about half the time, there was no sound to indicate he waiting for an answer Overall: - They are very suitable for listening to music without disturbing others, but in a quiet environment there is noticeable noise leakage (more than my Bose Altos) The sound separation is excellent and the sound imaging is very clear, like You would expect it from Bose I would highly recommend it for people who want quality sound while exercising and want to be aware of their surroundings I wouldn't t recommend for those who want to use frames instead of their phone's assistant. You must take the phone out of your pocket. Finally, 1 point deducted for the overall impression of the assistant. If Bose fixes this with a firmware update I would have no hesitation in giving them 5 stars. While the connection was solid, like pretty much all of my Bose Bluetooth devices, they kept losing connection with the Bose app.
