Easyclip EC408 vs. Similar Frames: Which Is Right for You?
If you're considering the Easyclip EC408, you're likely drawn to its magnetic clip-on convenience and semi-rimless design. Here's how it compares to other options in our collection.
EC408 vs. Other Easyclip Models (EC517, EC469)
All Easyclip frames share the same patented magnetic clip-on technology with neodymium magnets that are ten times stronger than standard magnets. The EC408, EC517, and EC469 are all priced identically ($69.22–$135.37) and offer the same two-in-one functionality. The main difference is frame style: the EC408 features a semi-rimless rectangular design at 53-18-140mm, while the EC517 and EC469 may offer different shapes, rim styles, or sizing. If you prefer the clean, professional look of a half-rim rectangle, the EC408 is your best bet. If you want to explore other shapes within the Easyclip system, the EC517 or EC469 are worth comparing side-by-side.
EC408 vs. Flexon WASHINGTON 600
The Flexon WASHINGTON 600 ($116.31) offers a different approach to durability: memory metal construction that bends and returns to its original shape. Both frames feature half-rim rectangular designs and spring hinges, but the Flexon doesn't include magnetic clip-ons. If instant sun protection and the convenience of one frame for indoor and outdoor use are priorities, the EC408 is the better value. If you prefer to invest in separate prescription sunglasses and want the peace of mind that comes with virtually indestructible memory metal, the Flexon is worth the premium.
Why Choose the EC408?
The EC408 stands out for its combination of affordability, magnetic clip-on convenience, and lightweight semi-rimless construction. It's ideal for drivers and commuters who need sun protection that works behind the wheel (unlike transition lenses), and it eliminates the need to carry a second pair of prescription sunglasses. At $69.22–$135.37, it delivers exceptional value for a two-in-one eyewear solution.
