Nowadays, many of us use Amazon Alexa with some capability, either via an Echo Dot speaker for music or an Amazon smart connector to control outlets with voice control. Now, thanks to second-generation Echo frames, you can take Alexa’s helpful help wherever you go, in the form of prescription glasses.
Echo frames offer open audio and hands-free access to Amazon Alexa. You can use frames to make calls, set reminders, add them to your to-do list, and more, all with just your voice. They offer unobtrusive sound, so you can play audio directly to your ears while minimizing what others may hear. The glasses are light and comfortable, as well as compatible with most recipes.
The battery allows for more than two hours of talk time, Alexa interactions, and media playback, depending on a 14-hour day or up to four hours of non-stop listening. So, if 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 you.
While the glasses are a novelty in the Amazon store, reviews are already coming out and shoppers are impressed. “I was already in love [first] generation and this one just made me out of the park. Battery life is better, the sound is much clearer and easier to use, ”one reviewer wrote.
Another buyer praised the usefulness of these glasses for walks and road trips. “I like [the open-ear audio] as I like to listen to audio books while walking and being able to be aware of my surroundings is very enjoyable. On car trips I’ve discovered that there’s a sweet spot for volume where I can clearly hear music or audiobooks and not disturb passengers as they do their things. Once again being able to hear the surroundings was important to me while driving and the Echo Frames allow it. “
