Amazon Echo Frames are shipped from and sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC. They are eye-glasses that enables a person to have access to Alexa when ever, and where ever they are.

According to the information:

Meet Echo Frames – All-day glasses with hands-free access to Alexa.
Just ask Alexa – Make calls, set reminders, add to your to-do lists, listen to podcasts, or control your smart home from anywhere.
Designed for all-day wear – Echo Frames are lightweight and compatible with most prescription lenses.
VIP Filter – Customize which notifications to receive from the contacts and apps that matter most to you.
Thoughtful design – Amazon open-ear technology directs sound to your ears and minimizes what others can hear. And with no camera or display, you stay in the moment.
Does even more – Supports access to Google Assistant from a compatible device.
Designed for privacy – Microphones are designed to respond to the voice of the person wearing the frames and turn off with the double-press of a button.

However, these glasses do have their limitations, such as:

Echo Frames are not currently compatible with iOS smartphones.
Echo Frames require a compatible Android smartphone and the Alexa app for connectivity, and use your existing smartphone data plan. Carrier charges may apply.
Echo Frames do not include prescription lenses.
Battery life is optimized for everyday Alexa usage. Long periods of playback, like music streaming, will drain the battery more quickly.
