Comments:
Review Verdict: For a whopping $495, you should get something a little sturdier and more comfortable. And we thought the Thump would be much louder than it is.

QuickTake:
Pros: Lenses provide excellent UV protection. Easy to use.

Review: Oakley Thump 2
Comments:
If you're looking for the latest gadget with lots of features and technical capabilities, Oakley's Thump 2 is bare-bones. But in terms of highly portable players for active people, the Thump 2 is hard to top.
Review Verdict: The Thump 2 is by far the best sports-focused audio player I've used, for one simple reason: no cords. The player itself is built into the Thump 2's body, and each earpiece features a fully adjustable earbud; controls are embedded in the temples. The more

QuickTake:
Pros: Best sports-oriented mp3 player yet; supports wide variety of audio formats, including Apple's AAC; easy to use out of the box; very convenient; great sunglasses; Mac and Windows compatible; no fussing with batteries (charges via USB).
Cons: So-so earbuds with mediocre bass; tiny buttons hard to press in combinations (or with gloves on); EQ settings ineffective; no iTunes integration; no support for iTunes Music Store files.
