Motorola and Oakley have partnered up to produce the Motorola Razrwire Bluetooth Eyewear, a Bluetooth headset in the style of a pair of Oakley sunglasses. Aimed at those with a desire for high style and greater mobility, it's clearly inspired by the Oakley Thump, Oakley's MP3 player sunglasses, and the sleek Motorola Razr. Unlike the Thump, however, the Razrwire Bluetooth Eyewear comes in two parts: a pair of semirimless UV-resistant Oakley sunglasses and a Bluetooth headset that clamps on the side frame. You can wear the sunglasses without the headset but not vice versa.

The Motorola Razrwire Bluetooth sunglasses come in three frame/lens-color combinations, including Platinum/Gold Iridium, Pewter/Black Iridium, and Mercury/Gray. There's also an optional lens adapter for those who need prescription lenses. The Bluetooth headset consists of a rectangular body (2 by 0.6 by 0.4 inches) and a flexible earpiece that can swivel around to fit your ear.

The style of the Motorola Razrwire Bluetooth glasses might not fit everyone's tastes, and the sight of the headset hanging off the glasses just seems silly. Regardless, the headset actually feels pretty comfortable when rested against the ear. Many people have complained about how uncomfortable it is to wear both a Bluetooth headset and glasses at the same time, and this could be a good solution for that.

  Summary: The closest Oakley equivalent I could find to the RAZRWIRE is the Half Wire XL, and the RAZRWIRE's retail price is $75 more, which is a bargain considering how good the headset is. For a little more, you get good sunglasses and a great headset. Since ...
