As with previous Thumps, the Pros don't impress with their 6.4-hour battery life, but that's still plenty of time for most of the activities they're made for. A notable exception is a day on the slopes; this reviewer had the Thump 2s peter out at the end of a full day of boarding. Still, there's no denying the usefulness of having eye protection and music playback combined into one lightweight device when faced with a day on the snow.
Audio quality isn't stellar. Hip-hop tracks sounded a bit bright and lacking in depth for our tastes, but rock tracks sounded quite good. The low end is lacking overall, but you can get some bass if you really shove the earbuds in. The high end, however, was crystal clear and detailed across genres. All in all, music seemed to be lacking a bit in warmth, but in the final analysis was passable for the convenience of having an MP3 player integrated into a pair of sunglasses.
