We've seen a few iterations of smart glasses come and go, never to heard from again. But all is not lost. Thanks to today's deal at Amazon, you can grab some stylish glasses frames that come with incredibly useful audio and Alexa features.

As of Feb. 1, the Echo Frames (prescription ready) are just $209.99 at Amazon, down from the normal price of $269.99. That's a 22% discount or a savings of $60. Note that the frames come with demo lenses and you'll need to take them to an optician to get your prescription lenses added to the frames.

For anyone who doesn't love using headphones or earbuds, listen up. One of the coolest functions of the Echo Frames is the built-in smart audio. From the Echo Frames, you can cruise along while playing your favorite playlist, catching up on podcasts, or listening to that ever-growing list of audiobooks. The speakers in the Echo Frames are designed to direct the sound into your ears, and your ears only — minimizing the sound that could leak out to others around you. The frames do all of this without blocking your ears, so you can still take in and communicate with the world around you.

In addition the streaming audio from the Echo Frames, you can also take calls from the glasses for a hands-free experience. With continuous media playback, the glasses stay charged for up to six hours but that extends to about 14 hours with moderate usage throughout the day. It takes about 2.5 hours to recharge the frames. Removing and folding the Echo Frames automatically turns them off.

In terms of comfort, the glasses are designed with lightweight material and are both sweat and water resistant. Amazon mentions your vision insurance provider might offer a reimbursement for the Echo Frames, which is something worth checking in on if you have vision insurance.

Today's deal means you'll be spending less to give your glasses a major boost in functionality with the Echo Frames.
