The last thing I need is a new Amazon Echo smart speaker. like Edge Smart Home References I currently have a dozen spread around my house to test. But when? Amazon Echo Frames smart glasses It went on sale for $115 for Cyber Monday, down from $300, and it was an offer my husband couldn’t refuse.
Choose the Prescription ready form (Plus the blue light filtering option), which means he also got the Echo Spot, an easy-to-use $80 smart speaker/alarm clock from Amazon, for free. That means a total savings of $265 and a total of about 13 smart speakers for me.
the Echo spotwhich typically costs $80, is our top pick for an Amazon Alexa smart speaker to use as a smart alarm clock. It’s a great way to add smart features, like playing music with your voice and controlling devices like smart lights, to your bedside table.
But of course, the real attraction here was the smart glasses. My husband has been eyeing my Echo Frames ever since I bought them for $115 during the last Prime Day sale on Amazon. He likes the idea of hands-free calling and listening to music without earbuds, so seeing them drop to this price sealed the deal.
As a full-time glasses wearer, I’ve been thinking about smart glasses for a while. I felt like the technology was finally good enough to make a smart pair my daily driver. I was leaning towards Ray Ben’s meat Glasses – especially after The second generation was launched With longer battery life – and he almost pulled the trigger. Then Echo Frames hit their lowest price ever. At $115, they’re $250 cheaper than the second-gen Metas, and while Amazon’s frames are a couple of years old, the much lower cost made them a safer bet for my first foray into smart glasses.
Another important factor: I’m not ready to have a camera on my face all day. I’m more interested in the voice assistant and speaker/microphone. I love listening to podcasts and music while walking my dog or working in the garden, but I hate wearing headphones. Since I use Alexa in my smart home, it makes sense to have the same assistant on my face that I use at my kitchen table.
It also now supports Echo Frames Alexa PlusAmazon’s most capable voice assistant powered by LLM technology, making it useful for quick questions as well as smart home control. They also look like regular glasses, which is important to me because I plan to wear them every day.
I bought mine at the optician last week and thoroughly enjoyed it, although forgetting to charge it one night reminded me how annoying it can be to add another device to my nightly charging routine. One word of advice if you’re considering a pair at this premium price: If you have a larger head, go for it Gray rectangle pattern. It’s the only wide frame in the lineup.
