Solar-Powered Earbuds Are Constantly Juiced Up As Long As There’s Light
By Alexa Heah, 11 Aug 2022
You can soon imagine yourself in a musical as the tunes won’t stop.
In April 2021, Urbanista first unveiled its Los Angeles headphones that didn’t just offer the usual noise-canceling features but would also never run out of juice, as they have a solar panel to recharge the battery during the daytime.
Now, the same company is back with the world’s first self-charging true wireless earphones with a solar-powered case. The Phoenix will once again offer virtually unlimited playtime using its breakthrough Powerfoyle solar cell material.
Similar to the Los Angeles, the Phoenix’s charging case continuously recharges its battery whenever it’s exposed to light—be it sunlight in the open, or even fluorescent tubes at home. No worries if you’re taking it out for a spin at night, as its impressive 32-hour playtime guarantees you’ll never be caught without your favorite tunes.
In addition to its endless battery life, the “weightless” earphones come with intuitive touch controls and an intelligent voice assistant that allows you to enjoy the best playlists and podcasts hands-free. Its noise-reducing microphones also make for crystal-clear calls even if you’re on a busy street.
And if you often find yourself annoyed by your smartphone not being able to pick up a gadget’s Bluetooth signal, the earphones comprise a new multipoint connectivity feature that ensures you’ll be able to effortlessly connect it to Spotify or Apple Music without the fuss.
Intrigued? As per Input, the Urbanista Phoenix is scheduled to be released by the end of the year with an expected retail price of US$149.
