Bose Open-Ear Audio
Bose Frames Alto place miniature speakers inside the sunglass temples and direct audio toward your ears without using earbuds or conventional over-ear headphones.
The open-ear design allows you to listen to music, podcasts, navigation, and calls while remaining more aware of traffic, people, and other sounds around you.
Bluetooth Audio
Connect the Frames wirelessly to compatible smartphones, tablets, and other Bluetooth devices for music, podcasts, navigation, and other audio.
The original Frames Alto uses Bluetooth 4.0 and supports a wireless range of approximately 30 feet under suitable conditions.
Built-In Microphone & Phone Voice Assistant Access
An integrated microphone supports compatible hands-free telephone calls.
The multifunction button can also access supported voice-assistant functions on a connected smartphone, including Siri or Google Assistant where available.
Alexa and Google Assistant are not built directly into the Frames. Voice-assistant functionality depends on the connected mobile device.
Up to 3.5 Hours of Battery Life
Bose originally rated Frames Alto for up to 3.5 hours of music playback and up to approximately 12 hours of standby time.
A full recharge takes approximately two hours using the compatible magnetic charging cable.
Because this is a pre-owned legacy product, actual battery life may be lower than the original factory specification depending on battery age, volume level, Bluetooth usage, and charging history.
UVA / UVB Protection
The black tinted lenses are designed to block up to 99% of UVA and UVB rays.
The standard lenses supplied with this original Alto version are not polarized.
Replaceable Lenses
The lenses are removable and replaceable with compatible Bose Frames Alto lenses.
Lens availability is limited because this is a discontinued legacy model. Please confirm compatibility before purchasing replacement lenses.
Bose Connect App
The Bose Frames Alto remain listed as compatible with the Bose Connect app, which can be used for supported product settings, connection management, and available firmware functions.
Bose sold the Frames Alto from 2019 through 2022 and continues to provide product support documentation for the model.
