I recently purchased the Split Thump Polarized 1GB. I like the glasses having purchased an original pair of "Thump" years ago. I like the glasses and the mp3 player great combination. I wear them when I am out walking in the park, on the beach or have the top down on my car rather than having my radio playing loudly. Oakley has made significant strides with these glasses. Also putting the play and volume controls in the big "O" was a great idea too..excellent. Love it. I give 3.5 - 4 stars overall. It is still nichy though. What I want to see is a pair similar to split thump but not as thick, at least 4GB -6GB, Polarized lens, only the 1GB are polarized both full feature bluetooth and MP3 on the one pair of glasses, bluetooth mp3, phone etc and MP3 player standalone. Also most of the electronics should be in the frame of the glasses rather than appearing or adding 1/2 inch protuding thickness on the sides. The glasses should look rather close or exactly like regular Oakley sunglasses broader market appeal. Overall they are very nice glasses. Good job Oakley but the job is far from complete there are a few more levels to go. Keep up the good work. RW
