That's nifty, but tell me. Do you have to put them on upside down to remove the wax from your left ear?

Er, I guess... the right ear. I had an Escher attack looking at the picture.

I think you have to take a test to determine whether you're cool enough to buy a set of these things. The presence of earwax is an automatic disqualification; people cool enough for RazrWires don't have earwax.

But, they might have Escher prints.

I prefer havingmy cell phone and sunglasses separate thank you very much.

but....

This way I could loose both of them on the top of my head.

Well, Shannon...you're in luck! This is just a headset. You can still lose your cell phone separately! ;-)

Joe Cool invented them, you know... Snoopy's cousin. Abbye cudda ole ya.

Cudda TOLE ya. Dropped my T. I hate it when that happens.

At the risk of being a bucket of cold water, anything looks cool if you get the "right" model or the "right" pose/ lighting for it. It might look smooth in the catalog but completely wrong in the real world.

I know a guy who has a set of Oakley "Thumps" which look almost identical. He's a nice guy, so I don't have the heart to tell him how absolutely stupid he looks wearing them.

On the flip side, Oakley's "headset sunglasses" are a perfect costume element for a sci-fi film.

This won't be the first time Oakley introduced something "made for the movies".

Anybody else remember their appropriately named "Medusa"?

Looks great in the catalog!

Looks even better in the ads.

Real world? On real people? It's instant comedy.

Surely you're not suggesting that Medusa was made for anyone other than "on-screen" characters?

Those headset sunglasses you refer to -- I think I know what you're talking about -- were, indeed, a marketing faux pas. I talked to a couple of retailers in Colorado and New Mexico who pretty much said that they couldn't give those things away, even to the money-tossing Texans that frequented their cycling/skiing stores.

Without trying to get too serious about the RazrWire, the functionality is really more the point than the style. Keeping an earpiece in place during anything more physical than sitting at a desk is a challenge and mounting one on eyeglasses seems to be a good alternative. Sure, there are plenty of downsides, but I enjoy watching the evolution of "wearable electronics" design.
