Soundcore Frames audio glasses offer ten different frame styles in a variety of sizes and shapes, including tinted lenses, lenses with blue light filtering and the ability to mount prescription lenses. In addition, the style is not fixed since it is possible to modify it after the fact.
OpenSurround technology for stereo and call management
On the sound side, the exclusive OpenSurround technology is based on two transducers integrated into each branch of the pair of glasses, a personalized DSP and a software stereo enhancement. The main speaker is located in front of the user's ear, and another is located just behind to amplify stereo sound. The glasses can be connected to a phone, tablet or PC, and the inclusion of noise-canceling microphones allows for call pick-up or voice conferences.
Soundcore Frames, port detection and battery life
The controls are tactile and vocal, some of which can be personalized, and Soundcore Frames can detect when they are carried or not and thus automatically pause or play music. The battery life is 5.5 hours of reading time, and the fast charge provides an additional 1.5 hours of reading (in 10 minutes).
