There’s a new crop of solar-powered wireless headphones on the market, tech site The Verge reports.
Why it matters: Headphones that get topped off by the sun’s rays could end the days of running out of juice while you’re out and about enjoying some tunes or making calls.
For example: There’s the Adidas RPT-2 Sol ($230), the Urbanista Los Angeles ($199), and the Blue Tiger Solare Headset ($220).
All currently only available in the US.
- On the Adidas cans, solar cell material built into the headband doubles their wireless playback time compared to a similar non-solar model, from 40 hours to 80.
Sounds like a great idea until you factor in the weather in the UK, so they will probably get topped up during the odd heatwave and spend the rest of their time down the back of the sofa!
Great effort but no cigar…
