Amazon announces new improved Echo Frames smart glasses plus a more fashion-foward Carrera eyewear option
. The next-generation smart glasses come equipped with Alexa, and combine fashion, extended battery life, and improved audio.
They start at $269.99 and come in five new styles with prescription-ready, sunglass, or blue light lens options. The new Echo Frames are lightweight and have 15% slimmer temples for comfortable all-day wear. They also have improved battery life, delivering up to six hours of continuous media playback or talk time on a full charge.
The audio architecture has been redesigned with new custom-built speakers that deliver three-times more bass than the previous generation and more accurately direct sound to your ears, while minimizing outside noise. Echo Frames also have upgraded speech processing technology that improves Alexa's performance, which Amazon claims is up to ten-times better recognition in loud or windy conditions than the previous generation.
Additionally, aside from the usual Alexa features included in all Echo devices, both smart glasses will come with premium features such as being able to seamlessly connect and switch between two audio sources, starting a playlist with the press of a button, notification filtering, and an"Alexa, find my smart glasses" features should you misplace your eyewear. The new Echo Frames will start at $269.99, while the new Carrera Smart Glasses will cost $389.99.
