Digital Music Eyewear From Oakley

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the listen-to-them-frames dept.

Mecha-A writes "Am I the only one that finds this insanely awesome? Oakley is marketing a new line of digital music eyewear in time for the holidays. $400-$500 is an obscene lot for a small USB MP3 player, but the coolness factor is way up there. Questions: Is a brand name like Oakley going to get this idea off the ground? Who's going to be first to market this same thing except with a 'now playing' HUD on the sunglasses?"

    I'm holding off until they come out with a hat that's got a built in subwoofer

    The geek factor will go way up after you break your brand new Oakley MP3 player shades and tape them together across the bridge...

      But a REAL geek will build his/her own. You only need three things. 1, 2, 3.

    Notice how both guys in the pictures have false teeth?
    Maybe they got their heads kicked in for wearing rather geeky mp3 players.

    I thought Oakley was all about thermonuclear protection stickers for cars?

    I think both of those guys modeling should have spent the $400 on a dentist instead.

    Why don't they just sell a product instead of a lifestyle ?

    If you hadn't already said you weren't American, this question would have given it away.

    what if you want to listen to music at night?

    Only if you're listening to Corey Hart.

  10. The worst of both by twelveinchbrain · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is both:
    1) an MP3 player that you can't listen to without wearing sunglasses

    2) a pair of sunglasses that you can't wear in extreme conditions.

    This is about as useful as a champagne glass with a built-in knife.
