Buying
sunglasses can leave anyone puzzled by choice. But Bose may have stuck the
landing in the style department with its new Bose Frames, designed to pump
music directly into your ears and work with apps to deliver walking
instructions and more.
Bose
Frames look better than most smart glasses already around. The Frames are
black, with gold accents on the power button. Those thick arms look like a pair
of designer sunglasses you'd get from some pop shops guaranteed to be out of
business in a year. More than one person commented on the Frames while I wore
them around town, and two of my co-workers thought they looked surprisingly
cool. And that was before they knew about the built-it speakers.
The
Frames sound as great as they look, at least when you compare them to the
headphones that came with your smart phones. In each of the Frames' arms is a
mini speaker pumping music directly at your ears without being all up in them
like typical earbuds (耳塞). On the outside of
each arm is another speaker designed to cancel out what the inside one is
playing. The end result: music you can hear, and silence anybody nearby can
appreciate. Mostly.
Of
course, you shouldn't wear these indoors or in a quiet environment, like a
library. Bose Frames are essentially wearable speakers, meaning they leak
sound, so people nearby can still hear something.
Bose
Frames are not for everyone, nor are they great for every situation-sometimes,
regular old headphones are more socially appropriate. But once you get over the
astonishment that you're wearing a pair of glasses with built-in speakers, you
might find them becoming a seasonal addition to you. If you're in the market
for sunglasses, and are willing to drop two hundred dollars on a pair, Bose
Frames are a solid option for every fashion forward futurist.
