10. Oakley Thump: If you've overdone it with the eggnog, a $500 pair of sunglasses with a built-in MP3 player might seem a divine combination. It's not. The poorly fitting earbuds chafe, the glasses feel flimsy, and the style is dated. And what happens if you want to rock out at night? Unless you're buying for Bono, pick up an iPod shuffle and a pair of Revos for half the price.
Looks like they gave a bunch to the pros in Kona...still looked lame, especially the pair that Natascha was wearing. Yikes! I like the recommendation in the article---get a real MP3 player and a pair of Revo's for less than half the price and you've got a great setup.

"Oakley" always seems to pick the scabs on this forum. I love the idea of device convergence, but I thought the sunglassess/MP3 player was a stretch.
