The audio headphones' market is an extremely
complex one, undergoing continuous changes, and one of the latest trends in this field are the sunglasses with included headphones, manufactured by an increasing number of companies. Among all these manufacturers, two of the most important are Oakley and Motorola, who have joined forces and developed the O ROKR, a device that will surely appeal to quite a lot of people.

The gadget consists of a pair of high-quality glasses, which have been fitted with several electronic components (headphones, Bluetooth technology, etc.), thus allow them to be used for listening to the songs from a mobile phone including Bluetooth technology or a portable music player endowed with a Bluetooth adapter. For more technological details, check out the list of technical specs presented below:

The O ROKR has what it takes to become quite a hit, even more so since it will be marketed by such an important company as Motorola. And considering just how fashionable these products are becoming...anything's possible.
