JBL’s new SoundGear Frames audio sunglasses combine sound and style

Leading audio brand JBL has just released its first audio sunglasses – the JBL SoundGear Frames – which blends sleek design and style with high quality personal audio.

JBL has brought its iconic listening experience to the SoundGear Frames to make it even easier to add high-fidelity audio to your day – and to do it in style.

“JBL has been at the forefront of sound for 78 years and with SoundGear Frames, we merge that heritage with cutting-edge design,” said Marcus Fry, General Manager, Consumer Audio, AUNZ.

“These glasses aren’t just stylish, they also revolutionise the way you experience sound on-the-go, setting a whole new standard in wearable audio.”

The JBL SoundGear Frames has integrated JBL’s proprietary OpenSound technology which is integrated into the arms of the glasses near your temples.

This offers rich audio quality but also provides awareness of your surroundings to ensure your safety but without compromising the clarity and detail.

Also onboard is a beamforming two-mic array and noise cancelling technology so you can have clear conversations even in busy environments.

The JBL SoundGear Frames are made from the lightest thermoplastic materials making them thin and light and designed to be worn all day.

The slim and flexible construction offers a comfortable and secure fit.

They have a unique translucent design and come in three colours – Onyx, Pearl and Amber with two interchangeable frame designs to suit your personal style.

The JBL SoundGear Frames have semi-transparent lenses with UV A/B blocking.

They can also be fitted with prescription lenses.

The JBL SoundGear Frames are available exclusively through JB Hi-Fi and at jbl.com.au. They are priced at $169.95.
