Amazon Echo Frames (3rd Gen) are now $180

Amazon has released the Echo Frames (3rd Gen), a sleek pair of smart glasses currently on sale for $180, offering a $90 discount. These glasses are designed for users to easily control smart home devices, communicate with others, and listen to audio. The newest version is lighter, has a longer battery life, and features improved speakers. Though they do not have advanced capabilities like camera functions, they can handle voice commands through Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant. The Echo Frames look similar to standard glasses, which made them less noticeable during a recent airport security check compared to the bulkier Meta Ray-Bans. Users have reported that the Echo Frames are comfortable, though they require some getting used to with new control features. These glasses can stream audio, make phone calls, send texts, and manage smart home devices, making them a practical choice for those wanting basic smart technology. They are especially beneficial for people who use Alexa regularly. Despite some issues with the separate charging dock, many users appreciate the functionality of the Echo Frames for everyday tasks like listening to podcasts while remaining aware of their surroundings. The Amazon Echo Frames (3rd Gen) are positioned as an entry-level option for newcomers to smart glasses, priced competitively against other models in the market.
