Slightly off the subject perhaps, but a plea for people to think about the ethics of buying fashionclothing. Please try and consider, for example, the cloth the clothes are manufactured from, the human rights of the employees where they’re manufactured and the green credentials of the clothes retailer. And endeavour to share, rather than discarding. Thanks!!!!

i have a thump 1 512mb, ordered from states, thou its cheaper their, one of my earpiece is now busted, the ear piece is also annoying. but wearing it is the cool part, coz you dont see that regulary on streets, and another thing is its oakley…… btw, the thump 1 and 2 is bad for sweat, thus making the earpiece damaged by the sweat! so buy the thump pro…..

You just can’t get the best of both worlds.

If you’re into music, always having to wear a pair of oakleys when you want to listen to music might not be practical.

If you’re into wearing fashionable shades (that’s why you got Oakleys in the first place), wearing a heavy and bulky pair wouldn’t do it.

Just like marc, I’d rather buy an ipod shuffle and a pair of Oakleys not only because of the price, but also because of the practicality of having a full-fledged MP3 player and a pair of coooool Oakleys.

an oakley with an HUD… seems probable… I’m waiting for the polarized Gascan to come out on the 4th… yummy.

Might be cheaper to get Oakleys and an iPod separately hehe

plus “dog the bounty hunter” wears it, so unless if you really want to go ghetto redneck and sport a mullet, go ahead and score a thump.

An announcement was made for version 2 of the thump… but it still looks pro-mullet…

I have frequently read that the Thump is too heavy for a pair of shades and that you could never get the ear-pieces to stay comfortably in your ear.
Oakley is apparently already working on improving on their old design with Thump 2.0.
