By now, many of us use Amazon Alexa in one way or another, whether it’s an Echo Dot speaker for music or an Amazon Smart Plug for voice-controlled power outlets. Thanks to the second generation Echo Frames, you can take Alexa’s helpful help with you wherever you go, in the form of prescription glasses ready for use.
The Echo Frames provide open-ear audio and hands-free access to Amazon Alexa. You can use the frames to make calls, set reminders, add to your to-do list and more, all with your voice. They provide discreet sound, so you can play audio straight to your ears while minimizing what others hear. The glasses themselves are also lightweight and comfortable, and compatible with most regulations.
The battery provides more than two hours of talk time, Alexa interactions and media playback on a 14-hour day, or up to four hours of non-stop listening. So whether you want to streamline your daily routine with the help of Alexa or listen to your favorite music or podcasts on the go without the hassle of headphones, these frames are here to help.
While the glasses are a new addition to the Amazon store, reviews are already pouring in and shoppers are impressed. “I was already in love with [first] generation and this one just kicked it out of the park for me. The battery life is better, the sound is much clearer and easier to use, ”wrote one reviewer.
Another customer complimented how useful these glasses are for walks and car trips. “I love [the open-ear audio] since I like to listen to audiobooks while walking, and it’s really nice to still be aware of my surroundings. I have found on car journeys that there is a good place for the volume where I can clearly hear music or audiobooks and not annoy the passengers while doing their own thing. It was again important to be able to hear the surroundings while driving, and that is possible thanks to the Echo Frames. “
