Abstract: Audio eyeglasses comprise: a frame assembly having left and right temples and a front; a lens assembly secured to the frame assembly; and an audio unit disposed in the frame assembly. The audio unit comprises: (i) mass storage means for storing a plurality of digital audio files and selectively outputting at least one of said digital audio files; (ii) a playback unit adapted to receive said at least one digital audio file from said mass storage means and convert it to an electrical audio output signal; and (iii) control means for enabling said user to select said at least one audio file for output and control the playback thereof by said playback unit. At least one, and preferably two, audio transducers are attached to the frame assembly and proximate an ear of the user. The transducers are operably connected to the audio unit to receive the electrical audio output signal and convert it to a sound wave transmitted to the user's ears. Further provided is a personal audio system incorporating the audio eyeglasses and a docking station adapted to receive the eyeglasses and be connected to a computer for download of digital audio files.
