Early Prime Day deals have started, and you can find many Amazon devices with record-low prices, including Kindle readers, all leading up to October Prime Day. One of these deals worth highlighting is the Amazon Echo Frames + Echo Spot bundle, currently going for $119.99 (originally $229.99), the lowest price it has been, according to price-tracking tools.
The third-generation Echo Frames are the latest to be released this summer. They work like open-ear headphones that let you hear your surroundings, with the frames projecting sound to your ears. This can be good or bad, depending on your intended use. If you want to focus on your media in loud environments like a busy coffee shop, they might not work great. But if you are in a more controlled environment like an office or home, being able to hear when someone talks to you is a necessity.
The bundle also brings the Echo Spot, which is normally $79.99 and is the latest smart speaker with Alexa built in, and the Echo Frames normally run for $269.99, so being able to get both of these products for $119.99 is a steal.
What do you think so far?
The Echo Frames feel like regular glasses (or sunglasses). The standout features are the excellent microphone and well-balanced mids and highs, according to PCMag’s review. Keep in mind, though, like most open-ear headphones, the bass is very weak.
You can wear these out to work out if you want, since they are water and sweat-resistant. Keep in mind this price does not include the cost of your prescription lenses. But you can get the prescription-ready configuration with lenses meant to be swapped out by your optometrist.
