Just received the glasses today. Cool. I decided to charge them before the big learning curve. After many many tries, I finally got the orange charging lite. Yay! Don't Touch! Came back a few hours later it was the red flashing lite and they hadn't charged at all. I watched "helpful" videos on how to deal with the charger, to no avail.
I was excited to send them in to have prescription lenses installed; now, after all this frustration I will be returning them to Amazon unless a miracle happens and I can get the charger to actually work.
Edit: I finally got the charger to work last nite,..and had the green "fully charged" lite this morn,..so, I'm going to take a leap of faith and send them off to an online site (boomerang) to get the prescription lenses made. The fact that they finally charged gives me optimism that I can figure out how to replicate this success from here on. When I get the glasses back I will update on the charging aspect.
Other than that, I did pair with my phone and the music and audible books sound really good. I think they used the same sound tech on my Meta Quest 3 VR headset, as you don't know where the sound comes from, but it sounds pretty darn awesome.
a new edit: just got them back and Boomerang made perfect progressive lenses. I haven't tried charging again as the app says 72% charge. They sound so good,..oooh the rain is falling, ELO, this is some magic speaker tech. Hope the charging goes well tonight.
final edit: I upped my score to 5 stars as I finally made peace with the charger; but I'll still buy a more user-friendly charger if/when a 3rd party makes one. 5 Stars is for the delightfully good sound, I can't say enough about it. I let people at work put them on and they're astonished how good they sound. The AI is in the stone age compared to chatGPT which I hope Amazon is working on. I own a lab, so having timers "in my head" is extremely useful. If you need stealth earbuds, this is it! It's uncanny how you can be listening to, say, an audible book, and people next to you have no idea.
Overall, I have a ton to learn about the various uses; heck, I don't even know what the buttons do since the booklet got lost while waiting the two weeks for the lenses to get made. I can see these would be fabulous for dementia patients, for making lists...it's easy and always right with you.

Review of Echo Frames V3....
UPDATES to review at the bottom.....Lets begin this with the background: I was an early adopter of the Original Echo Frames, and could not use them, as they were apparently only made for children; The frames were too tight on my head and could not be adjusted for fear of damage. I skipped the V2 of the frames completely until now. The V3 frames actually came in a WIDE version (grey only) which actually does fit very well on my face. So I bought them, tested the fit and committed to having the lenses made for them. Now that I have been using them for a while, Here are my thoughts...FIT:The frames are vastly improved for fit in many ways. First there are no connections inside the frames themselves, only the temple arms contain all the electronics now, including the tiny LED that indicates activity. This leaves the actual frames themselves able to be fit better when installing lenses, no fear of breaking the function. Likewise the temple tips can be freely bent and adjusted for your perfect fit as well. The tips are actually not an integral part of the arms, they are a separate part attached and have no electronics in them either. Feel free to bend them however you like for ear comfort. However the nose bridge is comprised of the simple fixed plastic, which you cannot modify. Unfortunately this tends to allow the glasses to slide down your nose over time. I was able to add on self-stick silicone pads to them and now they grip the nose very well and don't move at all. Maybe the next version could have the wire adjustable type. The temple tips adjustments worked fine, however I had to add silicone sleeves to cover them as they were digging into the back of my ears too much and would be painful to wear all day. The sleeves make the area of the tips wider as the tips are rather narrow, making all the pressure condensed to a small spot. Please be mindful that the tips issue is just ME, and how I am sensitive to the glasses; most people do not have this issue at all.Function:The Alexa functions are the same as any Alexa you have at home, there is no difference in most of it, so I will touch on the functions of how Alexa works with your phone APP. The frames will allow communication on the phone, but it feels a little wonky trying to control it. For starters when a phone call comes in, you HAVE to push the forward right button to answer it. I wish there was a hands free way of telling Alexa to answer, but that does not work. Likewise to hang up you have to hit the right rear button. I really miss the finger slide feature of the original Frames, that was so much easier than fumbling around with micro buttons. Each time you touch your frames you subtly shift them, so you end up having to re-place them in position. For most glasses wearers, you do this automatically without thinking about it. But going totally hands free would be a much better option.There is also a lack of feedback indicating a call was picked up or dropped off. When you hit the button to do either function you have no idea if it was completed or not. This is most annoying when hanging up as you have no indication that the caller was actually disconnected. Even a tiny 'blip' noise would work for this.A feature that should be there, is not. I am very used to my Plantronics headset announcing the Caller ID then waiting for me to "answer/Ignore" the call (all handsfree). The Frames do not integrate with the Caller ID, all I get is the ring tone. So to see who is calling I am forced to pull out my phone and look. This should be a function of the Frames.Charging:I do not use the frames to listen to music or stream, just phone calls and the occasional Alexa interaction, so the charge lasts all day for me. I will note that compared to the V1 Frames this is a vast improvement, as the V1 would only run for about 4 hours then just die off.I had some trepidation about using the improved charging stand, as lots of other people have listed having issues getting it to work properly. I have not had any issues; I just plop the frames onto the stand and it starts charging every time. No need to play with how the glasses are oriented. The charging does not take long to complete, however it makes no difference to me as I only put them up at bedtime. These Frames are my Daily wear glasses, so it is important for them to be operable all day, which so far they are. Noted that I like the inductive charging stand as it makes the frames much more water resistant than having exposed charging port. Also Noted that this design is because the temple arms each have their own independent battery, due to no connection between them.Overall:The lacking functions aside, I am quite happy with these Echo Frames, and highly recommend them to anyone.UPDATES to the review-Now that I have been using them for a while, I want to share a few issues I have been having actually using the Frames.1. The frames actually make you LESS hands free that I wanted. Whenever I get into my car, the Frames refuse to operate as long as my phone is connected to the car's systems. I think this is due to my car having built in Alexa. So now to use the functions I am forced to press buttons on my dashboard, making the hands free part a joke when i am driving, where MORE hands free would be safer rather than LESS.2. I can tell the frames to make a call, but the Frames + APP force the call through some sort of odd Alexa system rather than using the Phone's native calling system like my car does. This alternate method of calling people has yet to actually work; it just sits on a weird calling screen with a message of 'Connecting' forever. You cannot cancel this once started, the only way to get back control of your phone is to actually kill the Alexa Task completely. I stopped asking Alexa to make calls and just manually dial the phone myself and talk with the frames. (Again, LESS hands free issues)3. The APP and Frames seem to do a LOT of background communication when you are not using them. While the frames do not seem to lose battery fast, all the excessive communication IS causing my phone to drain the battery 2x faster than normal. If my phone is NOT connected to WiFi, then it gets really hot, indicating a TON of cellular communication that never ends. Putting the phone to talk WiFi alleviates that issue, as WiFi does not heat up the transmitter like cellular does.4. Actually talking on the phone via Frames does sound good, but only if you are in a quiet environment. When I am at work I cannot make/receive phone calls reliably as I cannot hear the person on the other end due to the standard area background noise I am in. I actually have to leave the area to a quieter location to conduct my calls. My callers have reported that they can hear way too much from my background AND my lips moving, and its very disconcerting to them. On the Flip side, if I am in a quiet area near other people, they can clearly hear my caller due to the open ear system just throwing out audio.5. Adding people to my VIP works, but I am still forced to press a button just to hear SMS or notifications, this should be settable to always read or at least allow me to say 'accept'. (again, LESS hands free)6. I need to add nose pads to keep the Frames in place, which should be easy to do, however I have to keep replacing the pads every three days as they refuse to stick to the acetate frames for very long. I have to setup an auto-subscription to the pads as I am using up 10 pairs a month!
