The article reviews Amazon's third-generation Echo Frames, emphasizing their iterative improvements such as a lighter build, longer battery life, and enhanced audio features. Positioned as entry-level smart glasses, they maintain a discrete, unassuming appearance that sets them apart in the smart glass market. The author discusses personal experiences while testing the Echo Frames during a trip to CES, noting that they raised no security concerns at the airport, contrary to more conspicuous AR glasses. The glasses are currently available at a discounted price of $180, appealing to a consumer market eager for basic smart technology.
These smart glasses let me take calls hands-free and provide a direct communication path with Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa.
The Echo Frames are ideal for users who want something discrete but with just enough technology to scratch that consumer itch.
Amazon's made mostly iterative updates; the build is lighter, battery lasts longer, and there's supposedly more bass.
No one questioned the Echo Frames, which look like a regular pair of plastic-made prescriptions, even during airport security.
