I have owned all 3 generations of the Echo Frames. I have enjoyed the convince of them very much. The first 2 Generations had great features, and ease of use. I was excited to see what they would do with the 3rd installment. Unfortunately, Gen 3 is a huge disappointment. The only good thing about them is the battery and sound are better, the other handy features that made Generation 1 and 2 a cinch to use have been removed for some dumb reason.
The new charger is a joke, the glasses have to be put on the charger in a very precise way and balance just right, or they do not charge.
You can no longer silence notifications.
The Gen 3 will auto take over you calls, for instance, if you want to use your phone to make a call, as soon as the person on the other end picks up, the call will auto switch to the Echo Frames, and there is no options to shut this off.
The volume control only works if the Echo Frames are playing sound.
It almost seems like Amazon wanted to make these as inconvenient as possible to use. Honestly, it's better to just connect them to your phone as just headphones and not bother with the Echo features.
