Introducing OAKLEY THUMP,
the world’s first digital audio eyewear. The revolutionary design
seamlessly integrates a music player and earphones right into the frame.
That means no more wires. Just high performance optics forged with a
state-of-the-art digital audio engine. Listen to music virtually
anywhere. OAKLEY THUMP will change the way you see and hear the world.
Your ears are on your head, so why should your music
system hang on your waist? OAKLEY THUMP shatters the block-and-cord
design that hasn’t changed since portable players were invented 25 years
ago. It gives the wearer complete freedom to enjoy music during
activities where tethered players with cords and separate base units can
be
cumbersome, or even dangerous.
Oakley went a step further and engineered the
earphones and lenses with flip-up mechanisms so they can be disengaged
and re-engaged instantly. That makes it practical to carry on a
conversation, grab a call, or listen to music indoors. All this
technology weighs less than 1.9 ounces, so you get all-day comfort.
State-of-the-art fidelity. The integrated electronics
feature a 75MHz Digital Signal Processor, custom engineered to get
premium sound out of compressed MP3 and WMA song files. An 18-bit Sigma
Delta DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is optimized for acoustically
pure
audio with a signal-to noise ratio of greater than 87dB. Sound
processing includes anti-pop algorithms and short-circuit protection for
extra clarity. Mylar sonic expansion speakers pump out a full range of
frequency response, up to the 20 kHz limit of human hearing. All that
adds up to true-sounding audio with stunning fidelity.
Advanced cranial hardware. OAKLEY THUMP lets you
control the mix of music vs. environment. The speakers are mounted on
miniature extendible booms for precise positioning, and they pivot away
so you can listen to a conversation or grab a call. They flip back down
instantly so you won’t miss a beat. No more fighting with wires or
shoving things into your ears.
Optical overkill. All this technology is integrated
into world-class eyewear sculpture. Patented XYZ Optics maximizes visual
clarity, even at the sides of raked-back lens contours. Plutonite lens
material blocks 100% of all UV and harmful blue light, and polarization
and Iridium lens coatings cut glare and optimize vision.
Control at your fingertips. No more digging into your
pocket or fumbling with a wired remote to find a button. All controls
blend seamlessly into the frame geometry, and we put them where you can
find them instantly.
Six-hour battery life. A specially designed lithium
ion polymer cell minimizes weight and provides up to six hours of
continuous music. For the ultimate in convenience, charging can be done
through the USB cable or an optional external charger.
(Optional
accessories include a Car Charger and a World Wall Charger with four
adapter plugs for international travel).
Compatibility. Right out of the box, OAKLEY THUMP
works with most Mac and Windows PCs. No set-up required. No software to
install. Pick either platform — or both. And use whatever music jukebox
program you want. MusicMatch, Windows Media Player, whatever. OAKLEY
THUMP is the world’s first cross-platform, plug-and-play digital music
eyewear.
Lighting file transfer. OAKLEY THUMP comes with a USB
2.0 cable for connecting to your computer. USB 2.0 is optimized for
speed, so copying a full 120- song jam takes no time at all. And it
couldn’t be simpler. When you connect OAKLEY THUMP to your computer, it
shows up on your desktop. All you do is move song files — MP3, WMA or
WAV format — with a simple drag and drop.
Digital cargo. Use OAKLEY THUMP to store and transport
computer files. While you’re playing your favorite tunes, you can haul
virtually any kind of data. Transfer the files to another computer with
the fast USB connection. Or use OAKLEY THUMP to backup critical files
from work and keep them safe in your brainframe.
