I have a fond little memory of being a kid and saving up box tops so that I could send them in to the PO Box for some company in New Jersey. The advertisement that caught my young attention read something along the lines of “Amaze your friends with these Spectacular X-Ray Glasses”. I was so excited when I had the required amount of box tops and quickly got them in the mail. Boy was I excited and I certainly could not wait to “Amaze” my friends. Needless to say, I was equally disappointed when the “x-ray” glasses arrived and they were little more than cheap plastic junk.
Well, to my knowledge the powers that be have not yet invented x-ray glasses. However, as I have grown, my generation and I have been privileged to witness an explosion in technology. In my opinion, one of the coolest gadgets that have come out of the last decade or so are the MP3 sunglasses. While they certainly do not give us the ability to see through walls or clothes or anything else, MP3 sunglasses do take the potential of polarized lenses to a whole new level.
MP3 sunglasses are simply the merging of the latest sunglasses fashions from the industry’s leading manufacturers such as Oakley and all the downloads in your MP3 collection. MP3 sunglasses are convenient and comfortable. Built in ear buds provide easy listening capability and can be hooked out of the way when not in use. I can’t help but think of James Bond or remember some kind of character out of a science fiction movie when I see a pair of MP3 sunglasses.
Now to talk about another sneaky little bonus that can be incorporated in a pair of MP3 sunglasses. How about having the ability to snap photos or even shoot actual video from a camera disguised in the frames of you MP3 sunglasses! Now who is thinking James Bond, huh? The camera stores video in AVI format on the built in GB of memory allowing for approximately four hours of video. The controls are located on the frame of the sunglasses with some models or can be controlled remotely with other designs. The battery is rechargeable usually with a life of 1.5 hours for video and closer to 3 hours for MP3 play or photos.
I could go on and on about how cool these MP3 sunglasses featuring camera and video capability are. Sunglasses are sometimes worn to display an appearance of stealth or disguise but with these neat little gadgets the stealth and disguise is built right in to the sunglasses themselves. There are so many styles and different designs of MP3 sunglasses and camera sunglasses so make sure you take time to shop around and find the right model for your needs or sneaky little fetish before you scoop up the first pair you lay eyes on.
While I will admit that these sunglasses with built in cameras are not quite as amazing as having a pair of X-ray glasses that Actually worked would have been, I highly recommend that you take the leap into the age of technological phenomena and get your hands on a pair. Chances are someone else has had you in the lens of their camera without you even knowing it so you had better level the playing field. In addition to rocking out without wires or capturing images you can also get MP3 sunglasses with Bluetooth enabled technology included.
