Oakley Thump Sunglasses, 256MB, Matte Black (05150C)

Customer Review: Missed concept?
Do not own, nor have I used them yet (hence the middle-of-road review). That said: Is it just me, or did someone at Oakley completely miss the point? They should NOT have jammed another limited-purpose MP3 player into a place it didn't belong. Instead, on seeing the ads & marketting, I was hoping they'd have made nothing more/less than a Bluetooth headset integrated with their shades, paired with a small transmitter to attach to whatever MP3 device people already had. Throw your Zen or iPod into your pocket/armband/whatever, and then go. That way, Oakley would have stayed above the format/platform bickering and brought a truly innovative product to market that ALL MP3 listeners could benefit from. Hard-drive jukeboxes, flash-based USB-keys, PSP's and GameBoys, ANYTHING with a headphone jack could have been serviced by this product...
Customer Review: Oakley Error
If cool points are where it's at for you, this is your chance. Coolest thing on the market today, no one else has them and a clever design. Three stars for cool. No points for cost. Too high and here's why. The speaker quality is poor. Buy an iPod mini and a pair of Bang & Olufsen earbuds for about the same price and you have much more music storage and sound quality that respects the $500 price range. Oakley must be kidding, people who pay that much for personal sound devices know good sound. These headphones are a little tinny and thin. Another problem is the earbud adjustment. When you do get them adjusted, to where they sound and feel right, don't move your head. They will click out of place allowing outside noise to intrude and lessen your listening experience. A flexible cord with more ear friendly earbuds would have overcome this oversight. Even changable headphones, which allow you to use your own would be great. Last challenge are the lenses. Oakley makes a great lens. I have been using them for years and have always enjoyed their product. One of their strong selling features is interchangability. Well, not on these. Perhaps in the future. So don't ride or run in the shadows. You'll lose your visual acumen for awhile.

Another popular fashion house would be the house of Chanel which is more commonly known as simply Chanel. It was founded in Paris, France by Coco Chanel. According to the report written by Forbes, Gerard Wertheimer and Alain Wertheimer now privately hold House of Chanel as joint owners. They are the grandchildren of Pierre Wertheimer, the early Chanel partner.

Chanel revolutionized haute couture fashion through replacing the traditional and conventional corseted silhouette with comfortable and simple suits along with long and lean dresses. It introduced its signature cardigan jacket back in 1925.

Chanel had many other major successes which have radically changed the fashion industry. This includes the popular "Chanel suit", which was made up of a knee-length skirt along with a trim and boxy jacket that were traditionally made using woven wool and black sewing trim with gold buttons. It was also worn traditionally with large costume-pearl necklaces. Wealthy women from all over the world would flock to her boutique on 31 Rue Cambon just so they would be able to commission couture outfits. The House of Chanel later on became synonymous with wealth, elegance and elitism. It was also considered to be the ultimate sign of the French high class.

When Coco Chanel's perfume, No. 5, achieved phenomenal success, her fashions became even more popular and began to be purchased by London's and Paris' society's high flyers.

Chanel is also famous for its quilted fabric that had a "secret" quilting pattern which was sewn at the back so that the material would be kept strong. This was actually inspired by jackets of jockeys. The material has been used for clothing as well as for accessories. The Chanel brand is now being headed by Karl Lagerfeld, a German-born designer. He also designs for the Fendi house, as well as for his namesake label.
