Oakley Thump MP3 Sunglasses
Among the hottest, and slightly oddest, devices to hit the market in a long time are these Oakley sunglasses that sport a built-in MP3 player.

The Thump features “sonic expansion speakers” — little headphone buds that swing towards or away from your ears. And the lenses flip up, for when you want music inside the house. The Thump comes in 128MB and 256MB flavours and costs $549.99 and $699.99 respectively at RadioShack.
