Amazon’s Echo Frames Bundle Offers Prime Day Sneak Peek

Smart Glasses and Echo Spot Available at Discounted Price

Amazon is giving an early taste of Prime Day deals with a special bundle featuring Echo Frames. This offer allows customers to snag the smart glasses alongside an Echo Spot at a significantly reduced price, days before the official Prime Day launch.

Prime Exclusive Deal

For just $130, Prime members can purchase the third generation of Echo Frames in any color, plus an Echo Spot. This is a notable discount, as the Echo Frames alone typically retail for $270 on Amazon.

Amazon also offers another Prime exclusive deal: the Echo Frames and Echo Show 8 are on sale together for $240.

Smart Glasses Capabilities

Echo Frames function as headphones with added utility, providing features that can replace devices like Bluetooth speakers. You can listen to books, music, and podcasts, with open-ear speakers directing sound to your ears while minimizing noise for those nearby.

While the Echo Frames provide a fair entry point into smart glasses, they have minimal features compared to competitors and lack a built-in camera.

Everyday Convenience

These frames allow users to make calls and control Alexa devices, such as the bundled Echo Spot, which functions as an Alexa-enabled alarm clock. According to Statista, the global smart glasses market is projected to reach $21.73 billion in 2024 (Statista).

Kerry Wan from ZDNET tested the Echo Frames and found them convenient for daily use, especially for making calls or enjoying music while walking.

“Besides the smart features, I’ve also enjoyed listening to podcasts and making calls during my evening walks. Perhaps it’s the ability to listen to my on-device audio while staying aware of my surroundings, or the fact that the speakers on the Echo Frames favor the mid and high frequencies more than the bassy, engulfing lows,”

The Echo Frames present a solid entry into smart glasses, especially now, costing much less than Meta Ray-Bans.

Deal Rating

This deal earns a 5/5 Editor’s rating due to the significant discount on a newer product and the inclusion of a compatible Alexa device. It is ideal for those interested in exploring new tech without a hefty investment.
