It's just plain awkward to wear traditional ear buds and sunglasses at the same time. You certainly shouldn't have to choose between protecting your eyes from the sun and listening to music – especially if you're exercising outdoors. Now you don't have to give up your favorite music for protective eye gear. The Split THUMP from Oakley cleverly combines both, in what Oakley promises will soon become your favorite pair of sunglasses.
For some, the name Oakley may be synonymous with 80's pop culture. However, this immensely popular brand of sunglasses has also made a name for itself in more recent decades. Their newest Split THUMP design is all about today and meeting the needs of portable music player lovers of all ages. The MP3 player is actually built into the sunglasses. Not only do you have one less thing to worry about carrying, you don't have to untangle wires connected to earbuds. And when you know that you don't want music, you can easily remove the speakers that are inconspicuously designed into the sunglasses.
Also hidden are the control buttons, which are built into the Oakley logo on the sides of the glasses. The quality of your listening experience is fueled by the clarity of a 75MHz Digital Signal Processor, 18-bit Sigma Delta DAC and Custom Mylar speakers. And while you're enjoying up to seven hours of continuous playtime, don't forget that the sweat resistant frame can withstand even the most rigorous of workouts. Last but certainly not least, a feature that can't be forgotten is the patented technology behind Oakley's lens.
Oakley's sunglasses don't just help keep the sun from bothering your eyes. They offer a whole new viewing experience of the world around you. The sharpness of images is obvious as soon as you slip your Oakley's on your face. Another cool feature is the way in which you can customize the lens tint to your surroundings. You can choose from a full spectrum of colors to keep you seeing at an optimal level, no matter what your environment is. Oakley's patented High Definition Optics (HDO) goes above and beyond the standards of the American National Standards Institute for sunglass lens, including 100% UV filtering.
The Split THUMP is available from Oakley.com for $299 plus shipping and handling. Included with your Split THUMP glasses are a MicroClear bag for lens cleaning and storage, Quick Reference Icon Cling, USB Cable and removable speakers with their own MicroClear speaker bag. A variety of accessories are also available including a wall charger with international adaptors, car charger and carrying cases.
