Size Guide
Echo Frames is a standard fit (best suited for higher nose bridges) and comes in a range of sizes. Choose the pair that corresponds with your own face width: narrow, medium or wide. You can also take your Echo Frames to your optician to be adjusted for optimal fit.
This style: Rectangle is a narrow size
Not the right size? Visit the Find Your Fit guide to find the best style in your size.

Find your measurements on the glasses you own
If you already have a pair of prescription or blue light filtering glasses that fit you well, we recommend comparing to those measurements to determine if this style is the ideal fit. Most glasses have the lens, bridge, and temple measurements engraved on the inside of the temple arm.

What is a lens width?
The horizontal measurement will give you a sense of how large the frames will be.
What is nose bridge width?
The part of the frame that sits on your nose and the distance between the two lenses.
What is temple arm length?
The distance from the front of the frame to the rear end point of the temple tip.
What is frame width?
The width of the entire horizontal front of the frame, from the furthest extended point on either side.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Style: Gray RectangleVerified PurchaseTo preface- I had the Gen 2 Frames for years and love them and would continue to use them if they didn't break. I purchased them online and even added the prescription lens via bommerang the partnered vendor back then and had excellent experience using that pair daily until now.
Now for the Gen 3:
Pros: Battery life, and sound quality has improved.
Everything else is awful- the touch gestures were very convenient in the 2nd generation subtle way to pause or play which is now just the physical buttons on the arms . Even the fact that they moved the volume buttons to the other side of the frames is inconvenient where as all the buttons and gesture were centralized to the right arm in gen 2. The build quality seems about to be slightly better but for the life of me I can not get it to fit comfortably on my face even after watching the videos on adjusting the frames.
The charging dock? God awful. Trying to balance the frames onto a charging dock that is proprietary and doesn't even work well is just stupid. Having the option to have a spare charging wire at work and home for my gen 2 was convenient and reasonably cheap. Everything about charging these frames is just difficult.
While this is not about the frames itself but the company that amazon partnered with to have prescription lens added online - Lensabl - I will give them credit for a free of charge redo on my lens as the first time the frames were fitted with the prescription lens there was no AR coating added so my lens came reflecting every single bit of light off the lens causing it to be impossible to wear. Though even with the redo while decent - it's still pretty spotty and I have to say my cheap 35$ frames and lens off eyebuydirect feels better to see through.
Between the sending the frames in and having to send it back for a redo- It took over a month to get my purchase to use . Purchased on 12/30/24 and after all the shipping back and forth received it finally 2/3/25 for mostly a disappointment-
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024Style: Gray RectangleVerified PurchaseBattery Life seems good so far, they were a little pricey for just ble light glasses, but if you using for prescription lenses you might find more value with that function. Easy to set up and use with multiple devices. Designed for comfort but not great if wearing for 10+ hours. Size chart is accurate and the glasses do look nice.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024Style: Gray RectangleVerified PurchaseI tried these out for about a week. Needed new glasses and decided to go with the Alexa pair. I liked the concept of having an Echo on my face. So easy and worked really well, for the Echo part. Making phone calls worked pretty well and the receiver on the other end said the sound was good. Sending a text never worked for me on my short time with them. Sound was GOOD. In a quiet room the sound was really good for what it was. Yes, people could hear "the voices" when I was at medium or higher volume levels. I hovered around the 3-5 (of 10) volume level most of the time. The sound did distort at the higher volumes. Why the heck would you have it THAT loud, you ask? If you are in a noisy room, people talking in a crowd, clinking in a restaurant, it's pretty difficult to catch all that is coming from the little speakers. However, not having to put in a bud (and the time it takes to do that) is really handy. The frame quality is good in my opinion. Pretty comfortable and light actually. They fold extremely stupid. Not really a smooth, clean fold. Had to try 2 or 3 time to get them to kinda fold. The complaints about the charging stand are pretty accurate. I figured out the sweet spot to get them to charge but it really shouldn't be that hard.
HOWEVER! Even though I am luke warm on the glasses, I did not return them because of the above issues. One of the tiny speakers on the left side started buzzing at no matter level and THAT, was annoying. I am hoping that this was just a matter of bad luck and the speaker couldn't handle the couple times I had to crank it because I walked into a room with people talking while I was talking to my glasses.
I know Mr. Bazos personally reads every review here. So I would give him a suggestion on these glasses.
Make some better "arms" so they fold better. Why put lenses on these? How about a smart clip-on that would attach to my personal glasses. I got this pair of glasses that my wife did not like. But they were the closest to the Oakley prescription glasses I had before. Would have been great to add a feature to my sexy glasses instead of "giving in" to the 8 or so styles offered. You're welcome.
Also, why not make these integrate better with Apple and Android, not the alexa app. Maybe I want to listen to YouTube Music or Spotify or Pandora not get stuck with only Alexa music or Audible. I get it. It's Alexa but, really? THAT would be a good feature. Might work better with the phone instead of Alexa trying to work through the phone. You're welcome. I will be honest. Maybe these had some of these features but I never had them long enough to figure it out. There is a little of a learning and setup curve.
Amazing idea. REALLY wanted to like these. The straw was the little speaker buzzing but I hesitate that it has to do with quality. Maybe the tiny speaker was built on a Friday afternoon or Monday morning.
I look forward to seeing Jeff integrating my ideas for Generation 4. You'll owe me a beer. :)
