Don’t you just hate it when your headphones die right in the middle of your favorite song? Urbanista promises to solve the issue by enslaving tiny photons from the Sun and making them charge your headphones.
It’s a really cool idea, actually. People use wireless headphones mostly on the move, which means running around in broad daylight most of the time. The Urbanista Los Angeles headphones model uses a special type of solar cells called Powerfoyle.
Powerfoyle was developed by a Swedish company named Exeger and is very lightweight and flexible, meaning it can be used in a wide range of gadgets. According to Wired, an hour spent outside is enough to charge the headphones for 3 hours of continuous playback.
Urbanista Los Angeles will cost £169 (around $200) but there’s no information on availability and also no official release date at the moment.
