Overview

WITHOUT SOUND


THEY’RE JUST SUNGLASSES

The original Bose Frames debuted in 2019 and quickly became one of our most popular products. Now the sequel is here. Thoughtfully refined and strikingly elegant, Bose Frames Tenor flaunt polarised lenses and premium craftsmanship, while exclusive Bose OpenAudio™ technology produces sound that you’d never expect from sunglasses. It’s a jaw-dropping experience that leaves you free to engage with the world around you while discreetly listening to music.

A modern icon

A refined square frame with a distinctive keyhole bridge, Bose Frames Tenor are for those who choose style over fashion. Because, as we all know, style is forever. They play fuller, deeper and longer than the original version, too, with the rechargeable battery now offering up to 5.5 hours of play time.

Nothing in or on your ears

That’s the difference, a revolutionary Bose OpenAudio™ design that frees you to hear and interact with the world around you, all while discreetly listening to music. An exclusive, wafer-thin acoustic package hidden in the temples produces lifelike sound, while an innovative design drastically reduces the spread of sound beyond you.

Luxury in the details

High-gloss Black. Stainless-steel hinges. Polarised lenses that won’t easily scratch or shatter. Bose sunglasses are crafted from ultra-modern materials to both look and feel luxurious. Because that’s how you should look and feel when you wear them.

Woman wearing Bose Frames Tenor

Comfort.

Refined.

It starts with the fit, fully refined from the original Bose sunglasses to match a wide range of face shapes. It continues with the lightweight, smooth-as-silk nylon frame, both lushly comfortable and decidedly durable.

Calls, too?

Definitely.

Take calls on the go, hands-free. Our latest audio sunglasses feature an advanced microphone system, designed to focus on your voice while reducing the sound of the wind and noise around you.

Tap, touch,

swipe controls.

With seamless capacitive touch and an integrated motion sensor, these rectangular Bluetooth® sunglasses’ controls are as modern as their concept. Slide your finger along the right temple to adjust the volume. Double-tap to access your phone’s voice assistant. And when you’re done, take them off and place them upside down. They’ll sense the movement and turn off.

Swap lenses. Show a new style.

Shop the Bose Frames Lens Collection for interchangeable coloured lenses you can easily swap on the fly to change your look. Polarised lenses available.

Fashion never sounded so good

Feeling a little more feline?

Maybe you’re not a Tenor. Maybe you’re a Soprano: our elegant update to cat eye. With their large lenses and delicately sloped browline, these cat eye Bluetooth® sunglasses are all about retro glamour with modern sheen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product I received two Bose glasses classes as gifts over the pass two years.. I am truly impressed with the glasses
Date published: 2023-10-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I recommend getting the blue mirrored lenses When they first arrived I was a bit disappointed because the frame felt kinda cheap. Once I changed the lenses to the mirrored blue lenses the glasses really took on a new look. The sound is great and are the best part. The lenses are very good quality, the tint looks clear and not like some cheap car window tint. I wish the water resistant rating was higher but I haven't had any problems yet despite heavy sweating. I did have some trouble with the app on initial setup but since then it connects easily every time.
