- Have you ever gone through the mall or retail store
anywhere, and you saw a display and you looked at it head on
and you were like you will be mine?
That's exactly what happened to me yesterday when I walked
passed the Bose store over at the Tampa Mall.
These are the Alto Bose Frames with built-in Bluetooth
audio and a killer microphone so people can hear you
and they work phenomenal.
We tried 'em out in the stores, connected 'em to a phone,
and instantly fell in love.
I got myself the Alto pair because I feel this shape
goes with my face a little bit better.
Gabe got the Rondo pair and they go with him pretty well.
As soon as he opened up the box, he put 'em on
and started using 'em.
Now, for him, he might get a little bit more use
out of 'em than me.
I'm probably gonna use mine when I'm in the car, walking
down the road, goin' for a walk, maybe walking the dog,
all sorts of stuff.
But with him, he's in the car, on the go, he has the glasses
on, the Bluetooth is the glasses so he can jump in outta
the car, he's a realtor so he shows houses,
so it's instant productivity.
He doesn't have to stop and slow down, let me disconnect
from the phone, reconnect to my other Bluetooth,
it's all built in to the glasses and it works phenomenal.
Let's dig into the box, see what we got.
And then, let's see how easy it is to set it up.
(sound reverberating)
Alright, so here's the box.
It comes in small and large.
I, of course, got the large as my head is a little bit
rounder than most people's.
And let's go 'head and open this up and see what we get.
So, nice sturdy box which is always a good sign.
And it looks like everything is in here.
I got excited for a second, I thought that was a peel-off
sticker that I could put on my MacBook (laughs).
But it's not.
Alright, so this is our little manual we got,
not really much to it.
It basically tells me that we have to download the Bose
Connect app which I already have.
Let's take a look at this guy.
It's got nice little Bose there printed in words,
so that looks and feels pretty good.
This is definitely a premium case, which is a good sign
from the very beginning.
Eh, oh!
So this is nice and a little fuzzy there, so we got
a little protection in there.
Here's our glasses themself.
Let's take these guys out.
Let's take a little look at what we have goin' on.
That little Bose written in there on both sides.
We've got our multi-function button which, oh.
Now it's ready to connect.
Just that quick.
The thing moves quick, huh?
Here we've got our little, little bag.
And in here we have our very special and unique
USB B, alright old school.
It's yellin' at us to go 'head and get it connected
to start to set up.
So we'll get there in just about a second.
Now if you look at these hinges, these are some premium
lookin' hinges in there which probably
are not goin' to break.
Jump down to the comments, tell me what you guys
think about this.
And I'm gonna tell you the price tag on these is only $199.
And you're thinkin' Aron, only $199?
Yeah, I'm gonna say only because other technology,
smart technology that works well, that sounds amazing,
that's got good Bluetooth connectivity is gonna run ya
anywhere from $199 up to $300 easy.
No problem at all.
These, they don't look bad.
They feel phenomenal.
There's a little bit of beef on the side here,
but nothing that we can't overcome.
Let's get 'em on, let's get 'em paired up,
and let's see how they sound.
Alright, I'm gonna go 'head and pair mine up
to my Bose Connect app.
Let's see how quick these pair up.
You know, we're lookin' for ease, we don't want
anything too complicated.
So it says turn the product off and on.
Alright, so we gotta hit the button.
Came right up.
Came out of the box 70%, so it says easy peasy.
Gotta take the prescription glasses off so I won't
be doing a lot of reading with these.
And it says connecting, so all I did was dragged it down
and it's connecting.
And let's see.
So there we've got our multi-button again.
Does everything.
Skips songs, take calls, powers off, charge your frames,
you connect 'em to the thing.
So, these are pretty simple.
And now, let's hear how they sound.
I'm gonna listen to Spotify.
You're not because I'll probably get demonetized if you hear
my Spotify music.
So, we will put in some nice little fun, enjoyable music
for you right now.
(lively music)
Some feedback for you guys, right?
It's clear, it sounds good, it's not loud.
And I just wanna throw that out there.
If you're lookin' to put something over your ears
and it's screaming in it and it sounds amazing,
and you've got that sharp highs and those deep lows,
and all that stuff, that's not what these are, right?
And you need to know that.
These are glasses with built-in sound on both sides.
Now the other part that we haven't even talked about
which Bose hasn't said a whole lot about,
but they've said it, it's comin',
is audio augmented reality.
They didn't go the virtual reality route 'cause I asked 'em,
hey, do you guys have somethin' comin' up with heads up
display in the near future?
They said they looked into it, but it's not somethin'
they're lookin' to take to market at this time.
That they feel that audio augmented reality
is the way that they can deliver us the best, safest
possible experience using our devices.
So exactly what does audio augmented reality mean?
I don't know.
But if I had to guess, we're lookin' at more rich,
deeper instructions, descriptions, ways to do things
I guess, we don't really know yet,
but they sounded good, right?
You have to realize what we're lookin' at is little
speakers, right?
Just itty bitty little speakers and they're right here.
I don't know if you guys can see, but the speakers
are there at the bottom on both sides.
And when you put 'em on, it puts the music
down into your ears.
Just ever so slightly down into your ears.
So, it's not stuffed in your ears, it's not over your ears,
this is a new sensation, a new experience.
Something you're probably not used to just like me.
I can be in my car, which I'm wearin' my glasses
'cause I live in Florida, my sunglasses, and I can drive,
take a call, get out of the car, continue the call,
go into the gas station, go into the grocery.
Sure, I might look a little, little jerky walkin' around
with sunglasses inside the grocery store, but hey.
It's my business, I'll do what I wanna do, you know?
Mind your business, people.
Mind yo business!
Oh.
(laughs)
I guess I should finish the video.
(laughs)
I forgot what I was doing.
This what happens when you get old, you just forget what
you're doing and you start lookin' at your glasses.
