Oakley O Rokr Pro Audio Sunglasses - 2008

I was dubious about picking these up, as a pair of wireless headphones I had wouldn't work unless I had the ipod on my arm.
Not the case with the Oakley set up.
So nice to tuck the Ipod in a safe place!
Calls come in crystal clear, and the voice dial mode works flawlessly!
Highly recommend!

I owned a pair of ORoker Bluetooth Sunglasses before this pair and really loved them. I unfortunately lost them and purchased the PRO model to replace them. The styling is much better. Less boxy and bulky and they have a softer more stylish look. Great improvement on the articulating arms which connect the earbuds to the ears. These are longer and much more comfortable. The only negative I can think of is that the volume is not as high as the older model. I even compared them to an ORoker Thump model, and noticed the same result. Volume could be higher at the high end. Difficult to hear the music in traffic or noisy surrounding.

I made the mistake of buying these as a replacement for my Oakley Thump Pro glasses. My thump pro's are on their second trip back to Oakley to get fixed because they just stop working. For some reason I thought an upgrade would make it all better.

I decided to upgrade so I could stream direct from my ipod. The reviews said that the O Rokr pro would stream music even if my ipod was in my backpack.
Here is what they really did:
1. Music and phone calls were choppy and the only way to fix it was to wear my ipod on my arm and put my phone on my hip. I bought the best bluetooth transmitter I could find and it still wouldn't allow me to store my ipod in my backpack.
2. The music control buttons stopped working after a couple of weeks. So much for skipping songs.
3. They have now completely stopped working I can't even get them to turn on. So I am now faced with dealing with Oakley again, which at best is difficult.

I plan to return these and get a pair of bluetooth headphones. This is way too expensive of a toy to have this many problems with.

It's nice not having to worry about trying to fit an earpiece under sunglasses, especially when wearing a hat. The only complaint I have is the quality of the speakers could have been much better. They crackle on certain high frequencies (symbols and high hats) which get's annoying at times. Phone convos are crystal clear and the mic is set deep enough into the frames to actually reduce alot of the wind noise. If you can see yourself using these for anything hit the buy button now. I can't wait for snowboarding season!
