You can't fault Oakley for perseverence. A couple of years ago, Tech Digest awarded the sunglasses company the coveted 'Chav Gadget of 2005' award for its Thump MP3 sunglasses. But since then, Oakley has been refining the design, to the point where its new Thump Pro pair look like something Bono might wear. Look, that is progress, honest. We like to jog wearing our Thumps. It makes jogging through Central Park that much more enjoyable!
The glasses, which come in 1GB, 512MB and 256MB versions, have the digital player built into the frame, so there's no dangling wires to get in your way. A single charge gives you six hours of music (enough for even the most freakishly-fit fitness-freak), and support for MP3, AAC, WMA and Audible file formats.
