Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com December 14 news, Bose recently confirmed to foreign media Digital Trends, its intelligent audio glasses product Frames series has stopped production. In the email sent by the former, Bose said it was "phasing out Frames".
"most of the inventory has been sold out, and users may see some products (Frames series) on Bose website between now and the holidays, but by the end of this year, these products will no longer be sold, and existing Frames users will still receive official support from Bose," ▲ source Bose, also said in an email. " At the same time, Bose says all valid warranties will be maintained.
The report said that since the launch of the Bose Frames series of products, the harvest has received mixed reviews. Although the idea of combining sunglasses or glasses with speakers and microphones is considered reasonable, the "disappointing" audio quality has greatly reduced the usefulness of such products. Digital Trends commentators said bluntly in 2021 that "smart audio glasses are a waste of space on your face."
As previously reported by CTOnews.com, Bose launched a series of smart audio glasses Frames Alto in 2019 and launched it on the domestic market at a price of 1599 yuan, with two replaceable lenses, mirror silver (polarized light) and gradient blue (non-polarized light), priced at 249 yuan and 159 yuan respectively.
