    Check out these natty pair of mp3 sunglasses

    1gb MP3 Sunglasses - Price: £49.99 + £3.95 shipping from iwantoneofthose.com
    1gb MP3 Sunglasses

    These 1GB wireless MP3 Sunglasses effortlessly bring sunshine and music together. Unlike previous versions, the earphones themselves are super-adjustable and very comfortable, and the sound quality is excellent. The player’s controls are situated on the arms of the glasses, the lenses are blue tinted and will filter out 100% of harmful UVB and UVA rays. They come with a semi-rigid sunglasses case and a USB cord so you can hook them up to your computer for downloading your tunes. You can charge them up from the mains or the cigarette lighter in your car, and a full charge will give about four to five hours of play. Rather cool looking we reckon, so now you can kick back in the sun, or get on your bike with no wires in sight, and listen to all your favourite tunes. Excellent.
