Hey Guys,
Just wanted to thank you all for your great posts and your passion for Oakley and especially your passion for the electronics category. I just wanted to let you all know that your comments don't go unnoticed. Keep the posts coming. I use them to help develop the next ones.

Now, for a few great tips and some things to note that most miss:

1. OVERDRIVE: Did you know that you can instantly call up your favorite song when you need that extra boost of energy? It will instantly jump your favorite song, play it once, and then go right back to where you were in your playlist. Read the Overdrive section in the manual for how to set it up and use it.

2. Shuffle Mode: Did you notice that the shuffle mode is a randomized ordered playlist? You can move forward and back within it. Also when you go to exit shuffle mode, it returns to the song you were listening to when you put it into shuffle mode. Oh and #1 (abov) also works. Love attention to details.

3. Playlists: YOU CAN CREATE PLAYLISTS!!! Just create different folders on the TPro and organize your music into them. Then to navigate your playlists, when it's on, just "pause" the device. Now the volume buttons jump between folders.

Now for a few hidden features (only I knew these, until now):

1. Song Repeat: Press and hold the FF and the Vol + Buttons at the same time. 1x = 1 Song, 2x = All Songs, 3x = Turn Repeat Off.

2. Playlist Repeat: Press and hold the RR and Vol - Buttons at the same time. 1x = Repeat all songs in current folder, 2x = Turn Repeat Off.

(I always add hidden features so look for them. There are more, but those were the easy ones.)

these are great you can change the lenses they are small and sleek. if you could hide the ear booms you would never know that it had a mp3 player built in. i fly a lot and i can put them on and never have to worry about wires. you can change the lenses out depending on the time of day on the plane or on the ground for that matter and they still look good. the batterys last for the long flights. the only thing is that you can not see the song title like trditional mp3 players. i know that is because it is because of design constraints but if they could come up with some thing that would be cool.

the unobtainium on the nose peices the ear stems are great i has a very secure fit better then the other thumps.

These are so sick! Probbly my favorite Oakley product until...One of the speakers stopped working :( Call Oakley and no more support available for this product or any electronic out there. Crap.

I received mine as a Christmas gift. They worked great although the fit was a little off, the speakers were stiff and made the glasses initially sit crooked. Took some time but that work itself out as the ear pieces loosened up. Everything was going good until the right speaker developed a rattle when the "hearbeat" played upon power up or down. Music sounded ok so I am guessing it has to do with low bass tones. My wife purchased them online @ Oakley and I now have to fork out an extra $25 to get them fixed (not replaced). I only used them 4 times. I love the glasses but I am frustrated with Oakley's customer service (or lack of it). Becareful if you buy them online. I suggest a local retailer where you can return them if you experience any problems.

Also - cleaning them. I asked Amy @ Oakley's technical support and she said use soap and water to remove any sweat.??? As I recall water and electronics do not mix so I am not sure what is the best procedure. I can see it now, I clean them as directed and if I need a repair, they claim water damage and deny warranty service! Any advice would be appreciated.

I am currently emailing Oakley about my situation but I am not sure if it will do any good. Anyone have a name of someone @ Oakley in customer service who I can write too?

The fit and the sound are awesome. I love these really and have used them a lot and find that they fit very securely in all situations including working out in them. The one small problem I have is that I don't find the lens coverage in the bottom to be very great. Although this is easily fixable by throwing in a pair of HJ XLJ lenses. It would be killer to see a Thump Array done sometime with some other lens options for different conditions.

First of all, the Thump Pro wears a lot more comfortable than Thump 2. It has a better fit, which convinces me it's suitable for running. They say it's watterproof; I believe them, since I haven't tried it in the rain or taking a shower.
Musical quality is superb. The speaker-things perfectly adjustable to the ear. Seems to be easier than Thump 2.
One minor remark: it should be available with XL lenses, like Half Jacket, because I seem to have a litle light leakage from underneath the bottom of the lens. No major problem running, but could be a problem on the slopes.

It was about time that Oakley makes an electronic eyewear that is less excentric so that people who always wear black/black whiskers could start considering. This one fits much more different faces. I'm also glad they made it almost waterproof (almost being important in this sentence), I actualy worn them under big BIG rain, and they never stopped playing. Plus, this is the first electronic that is really 100% sports oriented, with the REAL 3 point fit and Unobtanium® (not only on earstems).

Cons:
- non replacable Unobtanium® on the earstems
- They where talking about spacing the buttons so that it would be easier to use... not spaced enough!

Suggestion: There should be, on the right side, only two buttons on top (fwd and rwd) and the play button should be under the same branch... think about it, when you want to push a button, you need to put your thumb under the branch to be able to press the ones on top anyway!

Thump I had no real major qualms with. Thump 2 the only problem was it fit like a Gascan, which doesn't fit me, but it was still a solid product. On Thump Pro, and I hate to go against the higher rated reviews, but I just don't see a solid product.

Keep in mind I am not talking about the sound quality, or the amount of songs it can hold. I am talking about the shell, the physical product itself. I go to try them on, open the stems and the wire cover that runs the inside of the frame gives a pop. And does eveytime I open and close them.

I try the range on the booms and I can see the plastic separating near its seems if you move a piece even slightly too far. And the lack of a ball joint at the top most connection to the frame on the main arm really limits it's true range.

Even the stems themselves feel very weak and hollow. Just testing the flex of the frame for larger heads a lens popped out. There I noticed it's actually held in by a tiny hooked edge.

Based on these few issues I have to go low here. I am not saying it doesn;t look good, or sound good, but I just don't see this being the best they can offer.
