Overview

Designed for sports


engineered for sound

Experience high-quality sound—without headphones. That’s the magic of Bose Frames Tempo: high-performance sport sunglasses with a revolutionary Bose OpenAudio™ design that allows you to hear your music and your surroundings at the same time for a workout unlike any other. And with its lightweight, aerodynamic nylon frame and soft, silicone nose pads, Tempo is certainly designed for comfort and performance. It’s the sound you expect from Bose, with everything you need from sport sunglasses.

Bose Frames Tempo

Comfortable.

And secure.

They wouldn’t be performance sunglasses if they didn’t stay put. That’s why we precision engineered Bose Frames Tempo to feel like they’re a part of you, from the soft, silicone nose pads to the flexible temple grips to the custom spring hinges that hold just tight enough to stay secure and just light enough to stay forgotten. Because on the 15th kilometre, all you should feel is your runner’s high, not your sunglasses.

Blood, sweat and tears.

Rain, too.

On the path to perfection, you face it all. Your sunglasses do, too. That’s why these IPX4 water-resistant sport sunglasses were designed to survive the elements. The polycarbonate polarised lenses are scratch and shatter resistant. The TR-90 nylon frame is rugged and durable. And a specially designed acoustic mesh in the ports helps keep out water and debris.

Nothing in or on your ears

That’s the difference. It’s a revolutionary OpenAudio™ experience that frees you from headphones so you can stay aware of your surroundings—traffic, pedestrians, whatever you run up against when exercising outside. And when you need more motivation, just turn it up. With specially designed Bose speakers, one embedded in each temple, Bose Frames Tempo play louder and deeper than all other audio sunglasses so you can feel the music, and the endorphins, even over the rush of the wind when cycling at speeds of 40 km/h.

Switch lenses. In seconds.

Interchangeable sport lenses make Bose Frames Tempo multi-sport ready. Swap lenses in seconds to match your current terrain and lighting conditions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing alternative to headsets I bought these while on a trip and just love them. I like to listen to audio books when I drive and my passenger hates them. I got to listen all the way home with no complaints. I also had my gps running and the switch between them was flawless. I have never been comfortable with headsets on they hurt my ears these don't. I'm so happy I bought them.
