By now, many of us use Amazon Alexa to some extent, whether it’s an Echo Dot speaker for music or an Amazon Smart Plug for controlling outlets with voice control. Thanks to the second generation Echo Frames, you can take Alexa’s useful help everywhere, in the form of glasses that you can use on prescription.
The Echo Frames have open-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 just your voice. They provide a discrete sound so you can play sound directly into your ears while reducing what others can hear. The glasses themselves are also lightweight and comfortable, and also compatible with most prescriptions.
The battery allows for more than two hours of talk time, Alexa interactions and media playback, based on a 14-hour day, or up to four hours of uninterrupted listening. Whether you want to streamline your daily routine with Alexa help or listen to your favorite music or podcasts on the go without the hassle of headphones, these frames are here to help.
Although the glasses are a new addition to the Amazon store, the reviews are already pouring in, and the buyers are impressed. ‘I was already in love with [first] generation and this one just kicked it out of the park for me. ” Battery life is better, sound is clearer and easier to use, ” wrote one reviewer.
Another customer complimented on how useful these glasses are for hiking and traveling. “I like [the open-ear audio] since I like to listen to audio books while on the go, and it can still be very aware of my surroundings. I have found on car trips that there is a nice place for the volume where I can clearly hear music or audio books and not irritate the passengers while doing their own thing. Again, it was important for me to hear the environment while driving, and the Echo Frames allow it. ‘
