Cons: Fogs up, Not enough storage

Power on : "THUMP thump!"

Yep, finally... finally I decided to bought a Thump 2.
I've had the opportunity to buy the limited edition (500 ex supposed to be made) Thump 2 Pacha. Pacha is a nightclub group. The Pacha edition is preloaded with a mix from Wally Lopez, one of the DJ playing at Pacha Ibiza's nightclub.
Well, I don't really care about this and replaced immediately the music with one of my choice (At now, this is Apocalyptica).
The Pacha edition is not only noticeable by the music preloaded. There's also some nice additions : Red icons, cherries (Pacha's logo) etched on the lens, and a pair of Yellow replacement lens (with the cherries etched on lens too).

Back to the e-sunglasses themselves :
The Thump 2 are based on Gascan design. Being known that these last ones are not really my cup of tea, it's strange that I really like the look of the Thump 2, but I do.
The coverage is not the best one in the whole Oakley line, but is still correct.
Despite the fact that the stems are a bit short for my big head, the 3 flexion point speaker's "arms" are long enough to be very well placed in my ears, so no problem with this. The bad side is that once they are in place, I can't pull the glasses a bit to get a better ventilation, so my brows touch the frame and some fog appear quite quickly if I use them for sport are simply rapid walk.
With respect to the speakers themselves, they have a great sound quality for semi internal ones. They are lacking a bit of bass, but that's a global defect for that type of speakers.
The music control is really easy and once you get used with the different commands, it's just natural and you don't need to think about which button you have to push to get the good action, you just do it.
512 Mo will allow you to bring a few hours of music in your sunglasses (still find it to be unbelievable) and you should not be annoyed with battery life as far as you keep your USB cable with you ; That's what I do so I'm never cut by battery power. I've still not been able to estimate how long you can play music without charging the battery, but sure long enough for my daily home-work-home way walking so that's what I wanted them to do and after a week of use, I still don't see the red light on the battery indicator.

Power off "THUMP thump !" ... (buy a pair and you'll see what I mean ^_^)
