Thumping it up – Oakley MP3 shades

If plugging a music player in your ears AND balancing a pair of shades on your nose is burning too many precious face calories, then Oakley’s new MP3-fused shades might just be for you.The new Oakley Thumps manage to pass themselves off as a sleek-looking pair of shades, while the fold-away earphones provide the tunes. Admittedly, MP3-fused specs have moved a notch up the social acceptability ladder from looking like Dog the Bounty Hunter’s, but they’re perhaps still a few rungs away from style icon.They come in pointless 256MB and slightly more usable 512MB and 1GB flavours and will stay thumping away for a solid six hours of bounty-hunting.Go get ’em Dog.
