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...

    This is very similar or the same as the eyewear that Lance Armstrong wore this year in the tour de France. His was only 128MB though.

    Now if my glasses break, I lose my MP3 layer. And if my MP3 player breaks, I get a bulky pair of glasses. Convergence is Awesome!
