Oakley THUMP MP3 Sunglasses 256MB - 2006

The Oakley THUMP 256MB Sunglasses are the non-polarized version of the world's first digital music eyewear. There are no wires, just high-performance optics forged with an integrated MP3 player. A High Speed USB connection lets you transfer music quickly and easily. Load the songs you want to hear now, and free yourself from digging through your entire song library so you can focus on kicking ass on the hill, on the bike, or in the skate park. The THUMP delivers over 60 tracks, and the internal rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery offers up to six hours of continuous song play. The integrated speakers float by your ears, and you can adjust them in three directions to balance music with outside noise. You can flip them up to grab a phone call or listen to a conversation, then flip them back down and not miss a beat. The patented Oakley lenses flip up from the frame so you can head indoors and keep the music flowing. Oakley XYZ Optics gives you distortion-free vision, even at the sides of raked-back lens contours. Plutonite lens material blocks 100% of all UV, and Iridium lens coatings optimize vision in any light. When it comes to impact resistance, the 1.8oz THUMP exceeds ANSI Industrial Standards. USB cable included, PC and Mac compatible.

Bottom Line: Put on your shades and turn up the tunes.

I ordered the glasses late Wednesday afternoon and they were here on Friday morning. I received super fast service and a great product. I will definately be coming back to backcountry.com again.
The Oakley Thumps are awesome!

Oakley's luke warm customer service...

By:
September 18, 2006

The Thumps are a cool concept, but if you scratch or damage the lenses, fuhhgetaboutit! Oakley makes owner replaceable lenses for every pair of sunglasses they sell EXCEPT the Thump. You have to send the WHOLE unit in for an undisclosed amount to replace the lenses and you don't even get the option to upgrade lens colors/types like polarized, iridium etc,. Buy the Thump 2 instead if you must have these. Less aggravation, and you don't feel like you have just been ripped off and wasted your hard earned money. This site, however, is still wonderful, as ever.

I love my thumps

By:
January 15, 2007

I recieved my Thump mp3 sunglasses 256mb for Christmas. I love them so much. I love being able to just put one ear plug down so I can hear traffic when I run on the streets. I can't wait to use them in the Carlsbad Marathon next week. I can't tell you how happy I am to not have to mess with wires any more! Everyone should have a pair.

Great gear -- great value!!

By:
August 21, 2006

I'd heard about these on a running forum and had to check them out. I wanted something to occupy my time during long runs (training for a Marathon). I'd tried several different mp3 player and headphone combinations, but the player was either unwieldy and the strap cut into my arm, or the wires from the phones would get tangled up, or the earbuds would get wet and fall out.

These are comfortable, light, and stay on through strenuous running. The flip-up feature is great for when I hit shady areas. And this site certainly gave me the best price I found by shopping around!

I showed these off at a family gathering and virtually everyone was impressed with the sound and wanted one.

Best sport mp3 hands down

By:
August 24, 2006

I've been using the Thump for about four weeks now. They have performed perfectly both as sunglasses and as player. I've used them on 20 to 80mile bicycle rides at speeds of 54+ mph. One ride down a mountain there was a very strong rain and the player never missed a beat. The glasses, however, did fog up a bit. It is very convenient that they can be lifted up without taking them off. I've also used them for mowing the lawn (I use a reel mower, so I work up quite a sweat!). I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for a player that won't get in the way while doing outdoor activities.

Totally awesome shades!!! Never thought I would have sunglasses like these at the great sale price I got them for! They hold more songs than I can listen too and the sound is excellent.

Thumps are great for biking

By: Backcountry.com Employee

The Oakley Thump's rule for biking and specifically road biking. It's the only MP3 player that I have seen that allows you to tilt the speakers away from your ears so you can hear both music and road noise. It's key so that you can listen to music and not die.
