THUMP PRO Polished White/1GB/Positive Red Iridium XL (05-198)

THUMP PRO Polished White/1GB/Positive Red Iridium XL (05-198)

h2. THUMP PRO MP3 Sunglasses We took the premium sound, patented optics and all-day comfort of THUMP 2 and engineered them in a completely new architecture. This sport design is even more lightweight, and it adds the durability of sweat resistance and the convenience of interchangeable lenses. THUMP PRO launches a new era in sport training. Coaches and trainers know that athletes have one-track minds — at any given moment, the human brain is focused on a single thing. Divert attention from the burn of exertion and your training will find a whole new level. That's why we invented THUMP PRO, digital music eyewear in a sport design that fuels your training session with the music that moves you. Whether you're running, biking or pushing your potential with any kind of workout, THUMP PRO sunglasses will help you find your limits and just as easily ignore them. Athletes have endured the “ball and chain” of portable players for a quarter of a century. Cords dangle. Wires tangle. The base unit knocks around. The speakers jam into the ears and completely block out the environment with an all-or-nothing design. Oakley solved all these problems. THUMP PRO combines three decades of Oakley optical innovation with the convenience and performance of cutting-edge audio. This isn't just a state-of-the-art song player or a world-class optical instrument. This is a training tool that brings out the athlete in you. Its crystal clear sound bathes the brain in music that lets you endure the burn and take your training to the next level. MEDIA The ability to store up to 240 songs on the 1 GB version, 120 songs on the 512 MB version, or 60 songs on the 256 MB version. Supported storage of data files along with song files. Compatibility with iTunes®, Windows Media Player®, WinAMP® and other popular music jukebox programs that use AAC, MP3, WMA or even Audible® file format. Included Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable for transferring song files from Mac® or Windows® PC AUDIO 75MHz DSP with 18-bit Sigma Delta DAC for premium audio fidelity. Custom Mylar® speakers with six directions of movement Fully adjustable fit that lets you control the balance of music and environment. OPTICS HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) offers unbeatable clarity, backed by patented innovations that serve the world's best athletes. Impact resistant PLUTONITE® lens material filters out 100% of all UV, and the rimless design means there's nothing to block your downward view. That's a critical advantage in activities like running and cycling. Lens contours that maximize protection against sun, wind and side impact. Materials and geometries that meet or exceed all ANSI Z87.1 standards for optical clarity and impact resistance. Adapt to any sport environment with user-changeable accessory lenses. FRAME 5 control buttons, intuitively placed for fast easy access Sweat resistant frame features UNOBTAINIUM® components that actually increase grip with perspiration. You no longer have to worry about your music player moving when you do. Durable and lightweight O MATTER® frame material for an overall weight that's about half as much as ordinary players. BATTERY Up to 6 hours of playback time on a single charge, enough to power you through your most grueling training session. Charge Time 3.0 hours. Fast charge (80% capacity) in 1.5 hours Three-color indicator light to show battery level.

(Un)wired for sound
Date: August 15, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, Great sound quality, Ample storage, Good battery life

If music be the food of love, the Thumps must be the knife and fork. To get sound into your ears without wires, whilst wearing your favourite brand of eyewear, is no mean feat. Oakley, with this system, have created a unit which allows you to train to your preferred brand of audio motivation without the worry of strangling yourself with your headphone cord when you check back to see who's eating your dust.

Sound quality is as good as can be expected from such small speakers, and all controls are easy to use and what you'd expect from a good MP3 player. Adjustability is infinite, and the ability to switch lenses makes use in low light conditions less a problem than a joy.

There are two drawbacks, and I must admit I'm splitting hairs. Firstly, although my head isn't particularly small, I find I need the earpieces in even when not listening to music, otherwise they slide down my nose due to the weight all being towards the front, and secondly, there isn't an 'XLJ' style lens available.

thump pro on motorcycle
Date: July 12, 2009
Pros: Great sound quality, Ample storage, Good battery life
Cons: transition lenses would be nice

I two oakley thump pros . An older pair 512mb and most recent purchase 1g model. I purchased the 1g model when my old pair started getting distortion in right speaker, they had some age on them and I figured it was time for a new pair. I decided on the same style as before , I only use them riding on the motorcycle, and ordered extra set of clear lenses for night time riding. They work far better than other music devices Ive tried on the motorcycle, earbud cords always pick up wind noise, not an issue with the oakley thump pros , they work well until fifty mph or so , mind you my bike offers minimal wind protection, with a windscreen , they work well even at highway speeds.
The speakers adjust in multitude of positions for excellent sound. I found that the recording quality of mp3 and bitrate greatly affects sound , ie if they dont seem loud and clear , its because I have poor quality mp3 recording , well worth the money, dont let your friends try em , its hard to get them back.
