Motorola News: Oakley-Motorola RAZRwire

Oakley-Motorola RAZRwire

What does a RAZRwire sound like to you? A cable that connects a certain popular RAZR phone to your computer? I recently bought a pair of Oakley sunglasses called the RAZRwire. It looks good, feels great, and is sure to turn heads when you’re spotted wearing them. For Oakley fans, it lacks the usual O markings on the hinges, and doesn’t have Oakley branded across the bridge, but it does have Oakley engraved at the bottom of the left lens.

It costs a hefty S$498 (with the bluetooth add-on) and S$398 (without the bluetooth, branded a NBT model), but the frame is made of O-luminium, a material 40% lighter than titanium. It comes with spring-loaded hinges, and doesn’t feel too tight, or too loose. Plus the unique Unobtainium grips on the ends of the arms keeps it on your face.

The bluetooth module is the only thing made by Motorola, and clips on to either arm, and has an earpiece that can pivot to plug into your ear. It meets bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 standards, and according to reviews, is louder than the usual Motorola bluetooth headsets. Only thing about it is that it only fits on the RAZRwire, and can only be used with the RAZRwire, not by itself, so you can only use it during the day. At night, you would look weird wearing sunglasses. :)
