New Frames Tempo are engineered for outdoor exercise (Photo via Bose) Have your cake and eat it, with Bose Frames—premium sunglasses paired with premium headphones to create one stylish wearable.
The audio giant today announced a trio of fresh Frames, including new kid on the block Tempo, as well as updated versions of the Tenor and Soprano shades.
Frames Tempo
Frames Tempo in Silver (Photo via Bose) Durable, lightweight, and flexible, Frames Tempo are engineered specifically for outdoor workouts.
Whether you're running a marathon, rowing a boat, off-road racing, or skiing a steep slope, the sweat-, weather-, scratch-, and shatter-resistant specs won't move, shake, or shift on your face.
High-volume action requires high-volume audio: Bose says Tempo produces the highest fidelity in the Frames family, reaching decibels loud enough for cycling at 25mph while still being able to hear traffic, warnings, and teammates—for eight hours at a time.
The standard lenses are polycarbonate with visible light transmission (VLT) of 12 percent.
Other options include a Road Orange (20 percent VLT) medium-light lens to reduce glare from water and snow; a Trail Blue (28 percent VLT) low-light lens to increase contrast and definition in bright-sun conditions; and a Twilight Yellow (77 percent VLT) very low-light lens for use at dusk.
Frames Tenor and Soprano

Frames Tenor and Soprano are aimed at the fashion-forward—every angle, material, and component carefully selected and crafted for what Bose calls "higher quality, improved appearance, and supreme comfort."
Boasting scratch- and shatter-resistant materials, a pair of 16mm speakers, and a battery life of 5.5 hours, the sunglasses are siblings not twins: Tenor comes in a smaller, square style with the option of Mirrored Blue or Silver lenses, while Soprano's subtle cat eye makes way for Rose Gold or Purple-fade lenses.
"What you wear and see are gorgeous sunglasses—from the precise balance of weight on the head and resistance in the hinges, to the curves of the bridge and ultra-high-gloss finish," Bose said in a press release.
"But what you hear is equally impressive: Tenor and Soprano have noticeably better bass response so playlists are reproduced with more depth and detail."
Frames Soprano in Purple-fade (Photo via Bose) All three feature polarized lenses that promise to block up to 99 percent of UV rays, and "look, fit, and perform like the world's most acclaimed sunglasses for outdoor sports and daily wear," according to Bose.
"Whether you're out competitively or casually, they provide the same situational awareness—there's nothing in your ears or over them," the company continued.
"Their wafer-thin [audio] systems are discreetly embedded in each arm without extra parts, visible screws, seams, or perforations."
You'll neither see nor feel the electronics, which weigh less than 50 grams, yet provide a powerful audio experience: Wirelessly connect to your phone to stream music, take and make calls, and use your personal assistant—privately.
Because the speaker system is directed toward your ears, conversations are isolated in an audio bubble only you can hear.
Tempo, Tenor, and Soprano join the first Frames, Alto and Rondo, introduced in 2018.
A lot has changed in two years, though: Today's products contain a dual-beam-forming microphone array for better conversations, new volume-optimized EQ for better-sounding music, and the ability to add prescription lenses for better vision.
Pick up your pair today from Bose or select resellers for $249.
The company also released two new wireless headphones: the $279 noise-cancelling QuietComfort Earbuds and $179 Sport Earbuds.
