Ethan Wells: I purchased the first generation Echo Frames back in February of 2020, and upgraded to the 2nd generation about a year later. My review will be divided into three parts: aesthetics, functionality and reservations.
1. Aesthetics. I initially was concerned about how these frames would look. In particular, I was afraid they would be bulky - especially the temples (i.e. the part of the glasses connecting the lenses to your ears), where most of the electronics are. Have no fear on this point - I've been wearing these frames for the better part of a year, and not only has no one ever said anything to me about them (unless I start interacting with Alexa), but I've never even noticed anyone looking at them funny. I think this may be because one tends to look directly at another person's face, thereby losing the depth perception that would make the temples more noticeable.
The frames themselves are inoffensive. While they may not be for everyone, they will look fine on most people, regardless of age or gender. Think of them as new-nerdy-chic.
2. Functionality. Overall, I have been very pleased with the functionality of my frames. I use them primarily for phone calls...

- still consider whether you want to buy expensive lenses to put in these frames. The frames themselves aren't all that great as glasses (plastic is shiny and doesn't feel sturdy, and the style might not work for you.
- Upgraded battery life is much much better. Lasts a full 12 hour shift, when I have a bunch of 1-2 minute phone calls all night long. I estimate a combined 12h standby and 2hrs talk before the battery dies. You still need to buy extra charge cables to have one in your car and one at home at least. Very convenient to charge while driving if you have a USB port close to your body (i.e. in your center console)
- Still a pain in the butt if you have any FireTV or echo show devices in your house. No matter what I or my wife or kids do, everytime anyone says Alexa, my frames take over and are unable to control the echo show or the TV. I have to remember to turn off the glasses. It would be much better if I could just leave the "always listening" feature off and tap the button on the frames to then speak a command.
- auto off when you put the lenses down of the table does save battery, but then they don't turn back on...
