One of the world’s leading audio brands, JBL, recently unveiled its latest innovation, the JBL Soundgear Frames, in Singapore with a launch event at Wellbred at 313 Somerset. The event saw a group of young Singaporean influencers showcasing how they paired their JBL Soundgear Frames with various fashion ensembles, highlighting the seamless fusion of fashion and audio technology:
The JBL Soundgear Frames are not just ordinary sunglasses. They combine cutting-edge JBL audio innovation with stylish design, offering users a unique listening experience.
Equipped with open sound technology, these frames allow users to enjoy music and take phone calls without the need for traditional earphones, all while maintaining a fashionable appearance.
For those requiring vision correction, the frames can accommodate prescription lenses fitted by professional opticians.
Product Features
- Design Options: Available in two shapes—round and square—the Soundgear Frames cater to different style preferences. They are also IP54 water-resistant, ensuring durability against splashes and sweat.
- Battery Life: The frames offer up to 8 hours of playtime, varying with usage. For quick recharges, a 10-minute charge provides an additional 2 hours of usage.
- Audio Quality: Utilising JBL’s OpenSound technology, each temple of the frames houses an ultra-thin 25mm x 9mm high amplitude rectangular speaker with a three-layer diaphragm. This setup, enhanced with a special algorithm for bass and frequency processing, delivers immersive sound while keeping the ears open to surrounding noises.
- Call Clarity: The frames feature an advanced 2-mic array on one temple, equipped with dual-module environmental noise cancellation and nonlinear echo suppression algorithms. This technology ensures crystal clear phone calls, complemented by a hydrodynamic design that reduces air friction distortion.
Additional Features
- Ease of Use: The frames are designed for convenience, with controls integrated into the temples. Users can adjust volume, answer calls, or skip tracks by tapping the JBL logo on either temple.
- Customization: The Soundgear Frames can be connected to the JBL Headphones app, allowing users to customise their sound preferences or choose from six preset EQ curves.
- Style and Comfort: Made with the latest thermoplastic materials, the frames are slim, flexible, and lightweight, providing all-day comfort. They are available in three unique translucent colours and two designs.
JBL’s Soundgear Frames represent a perfect blend of style and sound, offering an innovative solution for those who seek both fashion and functionality in their audio devices.
It is now available in Singapore at a recommended retail price of S$199 via Shopee and Lazada. More details are available on the official online website.
