"Amazon's 3rd Gen Echo Frames: Style Meets Enhanced Sound Quality"
Amazon's latest Echo Frames, the third-generation model, offer improved style and battery life compared to previous iterations. Priced at $389.99 for the Carrera Cruiser model, these smart glasses primarily function as open-ear headphones with the ability to take calls, listen to music, and access Alexa. However, they lack features like a camera or screen that are typically associated with smart glasses. The audio quality is decent but not exceptional, and there is some audio leakage. While the Echo Frames offer Alexa integration, the voice assistant's functionality is limited on the go. The glasses have a range of styles and lens options, but the build quality and charging stand design could be improved. Overall, the Echo Frames are a step in the right direction in terms of style, but fall short in terms of functionality and value compared to competitors like the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses and Bose Frames.
