My Feedback on the Bose Frames

Like the fact that when you take the Bose Frames off and turn them upside down, they disconnect.

Easy to connect using the Bose Connect app to my iPhone.

The fact that you have both sunglasses and audio in the same unit is quite a benefit.

From a quiet to a medium noisy environment, the sound of the Bose Frames can be heard.

When speaking on the phone, sound quality is ok, you can hear background noise, but quite usable.

Do get caller ID coming through the Frames, can answer/hangup call with with the single button.

Total of 3 hours for playing audio before a full charge still gives a whole day of using VoiceOver now and then through the day

The 3D audio apps that you can download from the iOS App Store are in some ways a bit of a gimmick and don’t work well with VoiceOver.  However, Sound Scape works well the Bose.

Not happy with the fact that the Bose Frames have a dedicated magnetic UsB charging cable.

I found that they regularly slip down on my nose.

They do bleed audio: i.e. someone can hear that you’re listening to audio.  Turn them down to %50 works to reduce this audio bleed.

As sound being sent to your ear, rather than bone conduction or over/in ear, these aren’t much good for noisy environments.

Holding in the single button to invoke Siri feels quite slow compared to my AirPods 2, up to about 2.5 second to respond.

Besides being told when the Bose Frames are about to run out of battery, there is no audio indication when the Frames are plugged in to power.  When connected, a user can either use the Bose Connect app or check in Notifications Centre battery status for how much battery is remaining: i.e. charge them up, take them off charge, and check when connected.

A Note About the Belkin Boost Up Wireless Chargers from Vision Australia Store

These ones are smaller than my original Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charger, and a great point they use a Micro USB connection for power rather than a dedicated AC adapter.
