I'm supprised Apple and Oakley didn't team up to create some new iPod adaptor.



OAKLEY THUMP™ is the world's first digital music eyewear. No more wires. Just high-performance optics forged with an integrated, state-of-the-art digital audio engine. Listen to music virtually anywhere. Change the way you see and hear the world. OAKLEY THUMP comes in seven color combinations and two types: a 128 MB version and a 256 MB version with polarized lenses.

OAKLEY THUMP is the ultimate addition to your digital music collection. A High-Speed USB connection lets you transfer music quickly and easily. Load the songs you want to hear now, and free yourself from digging through your entire song library so you can focus on whatever you're doing, whether it's hanging out at the beach or boosting in a halfpipe.



Lose the Ball and Chain
Your ears are on your head, so why should your music system hang on your waist? Oakley's digital music eyewear delivers over 60 tracks or about 4 hours of head-thumping music directly to your brain without cables or wires. Your favorite tunes are played from something you're already wearing, and OAKLEY THUMP weighs only 1.8 ounces (52 grams) - lighter than an empty CD case. Forget about bulky equipment dangling from your body and shackling your every move. Cut the cord and take OAKLEY THUMP places where tethered music players get in the way.

Durable, solid-state memory means skip-free music in environments where music players with moving parts wouldn't stand a chance. And with no hard disk to spin up and drain power, the internal rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery offers up to six hours of continuous song play.

Advanced Cranial Hardware
Our engineers applied the same tech fanaticism that's behind the most coveted eyewear on the planet. The result: patented optics meets head-thumping sound.
We optimized the audio engine to give ultra-clean playback of compressed digital music files, even at low bit rates. That means you can pack more song files into the memory without sacrificing audio quality. And when you're pounding decibels up to the frequency limits of human hearing, the custom Mylar speakers make weaker MP3 players sound...well, weak.

Still kinda ugly like most of Oakley wear. But the idea is REALLY cool.

You will look like a mook if you want to listen to music inside or at night or even while it's overcast. I predict this will be a gigantic flop.
