Purchase New Bose Alto and Rando Frames with Built-In Speakers exclusively at Best Buy
Get in on the hottest look for summer/fall. Having built-in speakers in your sunglasses has become a real thing and Bose, the makers of the best tech products on the market, have once again cornered the latest trend with the introduction of their Alto and Rando frames with built-in speakers.
Bose Frames is a line of stylish, audio sunglasses that deliver a truly remarkable personal audio experience without anything in or on the ears – how perfect and new-wave is this??!!
Unlike existing open-ear products that use bone conduction, Bose Frames use a custom-designed speaker in conjunction with a series of patented acoustic chambers and ports to steer audio into the listener’s ears from the temples of the glasses.
The overall result is unbelievable audio clarity and spaciousness that seems almost impossible given the product’s size. What’s really mind-blowing is how full and rich the audio can sound for the wearer, but how little of that can be heard by anyone else, even if they’re standing next to the wearer.
Specs include:
- Sunglasses enhanced with Bose sound – Bose Frames Alto feature a classic angular shape, commanding lenses with a larger fit and immersive sound. Lens Width: 52 mm | Bridge Width: 18 mm | Temple Length: 162 mm

- Bose AR enabled* – A first-of-its-kind audio augmented reality platform that makes astonishing new audio experiences possible. Combining the power of wearable audio products, mobile devices, and integrated apps, Bose AR can augment your world with content for your ears instead of your eyes.
Choose from two timeless styles enriched with premium accents and materials, like gold-plated hinges. Alto offers a classic angular look with larger fit, while Rondo is more distinct with rounded lenses and a smaller fit. I prefer the Alto for a classic look.
The frames feature technology that prevents sound from being heard by people nearby, giving you the ability to listen to your favorite tunes without bulky headphones.
Frames are comfortable for all-day wear. In fact, many people wear glasses all day long—most don’t even know they are there. The product’s form factor enables you to remain socially available to others, unlike headphones which send a “I’m listening to music, don’t bother me” message.
