10 Best Bluetooth Sunglasses That Are Fashionable and Convenient Alternatives to Your Earbuds

If you’re shopping for a pair of sunglasses with integrated speakers, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Bose Frames. Bose’s line of Bluetooth sunglasses offers the best balance between price, battery life, comfort, and style.

The Bose Frames Alto sunglasses come in two different sizes with either 53- or 54-millimeter rectangular lenses that block up to 99% of UVA/UVB rays. During our tests, we found that the glasses look good on a wide range of face sizes. The dark gray uniform tint of the included lenses is strong enough that people can’t see through them, but we do recommend spending a little extra on some polarized lenses, which will better protect your eyes against the sun’s rays.

The sound quality of the Alto glasses is incredibly strong, but the more expensive Soprano and Tenor glasses from Bose do have a slight edge in sound and microphone quality. Regardless, we think you’ll be quite impressed at how good the Alto sound. The audio is clear, the glasses are easy to set up, they come with a convenient carrying case, and offer 3.5 hours of battery life.

The Bose Frame Rondo sunglasses are almost identical to the aforementioned Bose Frame Alto — they come in the same matte black design, have gold-plated steel hinges, and are equipped with the same speaker array.

The main difference is that the Rondo sunglasses are rounder and narrower because they have 49.5-millimeter rounded lenses. We recommend checking out Bose’s comprehensive Frames Style Guide which will help you determine which pair will best suit your face shape. The Rondo have interchangeable replacement lenses that come in blue or rose gold, the latter being polarized.

If money is no object, you can’t go wrong with the Bose Frames Tenor. This pair of Bluetooth glasses come with polarized lenses, which help reduce glare and provide additional clarity while protecting your eyes from the sun. The Bose Frames Tenor offer an improved sound performance that’s richer, louder, and more detailed over its predecessor, the Bose Frames Alto.

This pair delivers a battery life of up to 5.5 hours instead of the 3.5 hours on the previous models. Along with that, it’s equipped with a newer microphone to improve the quality of your phone calls. Its glossy body is sweat-, weather-, scratch-, and shatter-resistant.

Besides the improved audio quality and battery life, we also think that the Tenor glasses provide a more comfortable and secure fit. Bose also includes multiple sizes of nose pads to ensure they won't slide down your face.

The Bose Frames Soprano are Bose's designer-inspired frames catered toward folks who enjoy the look of oversized sunglasses. These flaunt an attractive high-gloss black finish with stainless steel hinges and polarized lenses. Like other Bose glasses, they feature interchangeable lenses that you can easily swap between to complete your look. The included lenses are black and polarized, but there are colored lenses available for purchase as well.

Like the Tenor glasses, the Soprano glasses feature larger 16mm drivers for a louder and more bass-heavy sound than the Alto and Rondo glasses. This pair is moisture- and shatter-resistant, and you can expect 5.5 hours of battery life from them.

Bose’s sports-focused Frames Tempo sunglasses deliver the best battery life for a pair of Bluetooth glasses yet. You can expect a whopping 8 hours of use before they need to recharge. The extra oomph in battery will definitely come in handy if you plan to wear the glasses on long runs or bike rides. Since they are water- and sweat-resistant, you won’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain with them, either.

The Tempo glasses are equipped with duo microphones for clear phone calls and larger speaker drivers for louder sound and better bass. They recharge much faster than other models (in just an hour) over USB-C. Bose's sport sunglasses come with mirrored black polarized lenses, but they can be swapped for blue or orange lenses, too.

It’s worth mentioning that the temples on these sunglasses are quite large. They’re almost the size of a single-ear Bluetooth earpiece. Fortunately, the glasses weigh less than 2 ounces, and they will grip your head securely. Bose also includes three different-sized nosepieces to ensure a snug fit. We’re confident if you wear them during exercise, they’ll stay on your face.

One plus to Bluetooth sunglasses is that they offer buyers the option to swap out the lenses. So, whether you want to mix things up with colored lenses, you want some glare-reducing polarized lenses, or you want to use blue-light-reducing lenses for computer work, you have the option to do so. Of course, this added flexibility costs a little more, too.

We were happy to see that Razer’s latest Anzu smart sunglasses come with both blue light-filtering and polarized lenses. The blue light lenses filter by 35% to protect your eyes and reduce eyestrain and the sunglass lenses shield your eyes from the sun with 99% UVA/UVB protection.

Razer's glasses deliver more than 5 hours of battery life, a water-resistant design, and touch controls. This pair of glasses come in two sizes, plus, you have the choice of rectangular or round lenses.

The lucyd Lyte sunglasses are a stylish and discreet pair of Bluetooth audio glasses that frankly do not look like smart glasses at all. They have a much slimmer design compared to the competition, while still delivering decent sound quality that’s plenty loud. We appreciate that lucyd’s glasses come in several different color configurations to cater to your unique tastes.

Not only that, despite their lower $150 price, they feature an entirely water-resistant design, and they include polarized lenses and a microphone for taking phone calls. Even better, they offer users 8 hours of battery life before needing to be recharged. The glasses weigh about an ounce, so they are comfortable and not cumbersome.

If looks matter most, we recommend shopping for the Fauna Audio Glasses. The lightweight glasses flaunt an attractive tortoiseshell design. The majority of Bluetooth glasses recharge with an included magnetic cable, but Fauna’s glasses charge in a sturdy case. These glasses are water- and dust-resistant, they're equipped with dual microphones to improve the quality of phone calls, and they have four speakers.

At the time of publishing, Fauna sells four variations of its audio glasses. The Memor Havana and Levia Black pairs include blue light filter lenses (or they can be used with prescription lenses) and the Spiro and Fabula models are sunglasses. All models have nifty touch controls and deliver 4 hours of battery life.

For gadget lovers who rely heavily on Alexa on the daily, consider opting for Amazon’s very own smart specs dubbed the Echo Frames. This pair of Bluetooth glasses is equipped with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, and with one push of a button, you can ask Alexa to do things like play your favorite song, turn on your living room lights, or start your robot vacuum cleaner.

The glasses come in three distinct colorways, including classic black, horizon blue, and modern tortoise. The glasses are lightweight and splash-resistant, and they can be used with your prescription lenses. They deliver 14 hours of battery life before needing to be recharged.

The FLOWS Bruno's are an inexpensive and comfortable pair of Bluetooth sunglasses that are on the more affordable end of the spectrum. In the name of a lower price point, you’re primarily sacrificing sound quality. When it comes to listening to music, the audio from these Bluetooth sunglasses sounds subpar at best, especially when you compare them to any of the Bose models.

Where these glasses shine, however, is battery life. You can expect 5.5 hours of battery life with the FLOWS, while the Bose Frames Alto glasses clock in at just 3.5 hours.

These glasses have frames with round or square lenses, and the company sells a bundle of swappable lenses for about $40. The lenses come in blue, gold, or clear (which is to reduce blue light from your monitor).
