Does anyone actually wear these things? The FCC has outed the Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth sunglasses on their web-site. Seriously, the Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth headphone sunglasses look similar to the Oakley Thumps there were such a fantastic flop. Motorola’s joint venture with Oakley to develop sunglasses with built-in headphones seems to be more of a whimsical exercise in design than a real seller. But, to the O ROKR’s credit, the awkward MP3 player that bulged out from the side of the Oakley Thump is been replaced with a more sleek Bluetooth module.
The O ROKR Pro’s are designed to work with a Bluetooth connection to stream music from your handset, and supports AVRCP for controlling your music from the sunglasses. The shades also double as a wireless headset, so that’s a definite plus. Up-time is claimed to be 5 hours after a full charge.
Pricing and availability is not yet known. We’ll keep you updated.
