Echo Frames (2nd Gen) | Smart audio sunglasses with Alexa | Pacific Blue with polarized sunglass lenses
One Size: Medium/Large
We recommend using this size guide to ensure Echo Frames will fit before placing an order.
How to assess if Echo Frames are likely to fit:
Step 1: Using your existing glasses, find the lens, bridge, and temple measurements. Most glasses have these numbers printed on the inside of the temple arm, as illustrated below.
Echo Frames measurements (mm): 54 - 18 - 145
Step 2: If the measurements of your existing square or rectangular glasses are within the Medium/Large ranges in the table below, then Echo Frames are more likely to fit you.
Small Unlikely to fit | Medium/Large Likely to fit | X-Large Unlikely to fit | |
---|---|---|---|
Lens Width (mm) | 51 or less | 52-57 | 58 or more |
Bridge Width (mm) | 16 or less | 17-21 | 22 or more |
Temple Length (mm) | 134 or less | 135-145 | 146 or more |

Frequently asked questions
How does Amazon open-ear
audio work?
Amazon open-ear audio uses 4 micro speakers designed to direct sound toward your ears and minimize sound heard by those around you. Echo Frames can also measure the noise level of your environment and automatically adjust the volume accordingly. You can also use the volume controls on the frames to adjust the level at any time.
Can I turn off the microphones on my Echo Frames?
Echo Frames are designed to protect your privacy. You can turn the microphones off by double-pressing the action button any time. When the mics are off the light indicator will turn red and your Echo Frames will no longer be able to detect the wake word (“Alexa” or “Echo”). To learn more about how Amazon and Alexa protect your privacy, visit the Alexa Privacy Hub.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It does have some drawbacks but nothing that truly makes them terrible for me. I can assume as the technology/software gets better they will be able to fix some of the more annoying things. I.E. Wake word options are only Alexa and Echo. When out in the wild a lot of ladies are named Alexa, and it quite amazing how many words/sounds though out the day can sound like “Echo” and trigger my frames to start listening.
In my Opinion getting these on a prime day deal was a good value. And I would recommend them to anyone who wears glasses all the time.
Pros:
Prescription Ready
Fantastic left right/3D audio, (for example ASMR tracks)
Very comfortable
Fast Charging
Great call mic volume, (Other people hear me great)
Swiping the glasses to answer calls is also great.
Magnetic charger.
I can active Alexa/routines from anywhere
Cons:
Only two wake words available. (Just let me use computer, please!)
A little tinny
Only one size and style of frames (would like smaller ones.)
A single charge only lasts me 5-8 hours. I’d like to get 10-12 while listening to audio books at work/home. (Of course as I need to wear prescription glasses, all waking hours would be ideal)
You can’t charge while wearing them.
It’s a little slow on responsiveness when out in the wild if asking Alexa things like time, weather and such. I find my self repeating the question several times because either I talk too fast, or it just takes longer to process through my poorer phone signal.
Overall all my experience with the echo frames has been very positive for the three months that I have had them. It is quite nice to some ask Alexa to call my wife when my hands are full or simply double tap my frames to start my audio book or music.
I took them to Lenscrafters and while the salesperson that I dealt with directly hadn't seen them before, there were a couple of other employees in the store who knew what they were and how they needed to have special handling. I got my lenses ordered and a few days later picked them up.
I have a large-ish head and I needed to have an adjustment made to the frames for a fit to keep them from sliding off my face. I may need to make another adjustment as they are starting to slip a little bit again. I might need to add some nose pads to keep them in place a little better.
By and large they are comfortable. The biggest issue is with the slippage and it will rest on the bridge of my nose and after a bit that gets uncomfortable, which is usually only noticed late at night. The larger ear pieces are not really noticeable when it comes to wearing them. They are surprisingly light considering the extra bulk. The full plastic build on these makes them feel a little cheapish, but also allows for comfort.
I've been given lots of compliments on the look. This is a big departure from my minimalist frames that I've had before. Only a couple have noticed the thicker arms.
Sound on them is good, not great. For calls they work really well. Music and podcasts are ok, provided there is minimal background noise. Sound leakage does occur too, so be aware that if you are listening to something loud enough and you are close-ish to someone else they will be able to hear snippets of things. Obviously with the small size and no enclosure there is minimal bass to the music, but for listening to music/podcasts/etc while working to have some background noise they work well.
The Alexa integration is also just kind of ok. You can get notifications from your phone and you can ask Alexa do to a lot of the things your home echo devices do, but some of it misses the mark a bit. I use the shopping list feature often. I tried to have Alexa read my shopping list to me while in the store and due to the background noise I couldn't really hear it, then I looked like an idiot telling Alexa to repeat while I was by myself, no phone in hand, no earpiece in, etc. I find that there is sometimes a delay when trying to send commands to my glasses, and I haven't quite found the sweet spot in my volume when speaking to Alexa, especially when others are around. Trying to be quiet and inconspicuous doesn't really work, but at the same time, talking excessively loud makes other people stare at you.
Notifications and response is a miss in my book. I get a lot of notifications, and you can set a filter to only notify of certain notifications, but you have to respond to every one to generate the list, vs just being able to pick from applications that you want to get notified from. You can have texts read to you automatically, but this gets a little bit cludgy if you get multiple texts in a row, especially from the same person, as Alexa will announce the full name of the person sending each text. You can limit these notifications to specific people, but in a regular conversation with my wife where we can go back and forth for a bit throughout the day this is just annoying. There's also no way to respond back to the messages yet, although this might come in a future software update.
The biggest advantage of these, in my opinion, is the ability to take calls. A simple swipe answers the call and a tap hangs up. I haven't had anyone complain about sound quality while talking with me or picking up background noise. Clarity is good on my end as well. This has been especially handy for calling customer service lines with extended hold times.
Battery life is decent. They typically last me all day with average use. On a couple of heavy use days where I was on a lot of calls or listening to a lot of music through the day I did notice the battery drained much earlier in the day. At that point they were just regular glasses and that was fine.
All in all I'm happy with my purchase. I can see room for improvement but also accept them where they are. I may be a bit spoiled with the phone call feature, so that may influence future purchases.
