"A good way to describe the Echo Frames is as headphones with a little more utility. Besides wearing them for the aesthetic, the glasses offer many different features that substitute devices like your headphones or Bluetooth speaker and your Alexa devices. The glasses are still extremely capable. An Alexa assistant is available, and you can use it to listen to books, music, and podcasts, as the open-ear speakers direct sound to your ear while minimizing it for others around you."
"Smart glasses are a hot buy. We've seen plenty of new models hit the market in the last several years, including Amazon's own Echo Frames, which first launched in 2019. If you're eyeing your own pair, you're in luck. Amazon is offering a Black Friday exclusive bundle deal. For only $115, you can get the third generation of Echo Frames in several colors and frame styles, plus an Echo Spot. That's an excellent offer, considering Amazon is selling the for a whopping $270."
Echo Frames third generation are offered in a Black Friday bundle for $115 including an Echo Spot; standalone pricing for the frames is much higher. The frames function like headphones with added utility, using open-ear speakers to play books, music, and podcasts while reducing sound leakage. Alexa voice assistant is integrated for media playback and device control. The frames support phone calls and can control other Alexa devices. The feature set is minimal compared with some competitors; notably, the frames lack a built-in camera. The price point makes them an accessible entry into smart glasses for users prioritizing audio and voice features.
