Adidas Unveils Solar-Powered Headphones That Have Infinite Battery Life
Solar-powered headphones made by Adidas? Sign us up! The sports company announced the RPT-02 SOL on Tuesday, marking the first batch of such headphones that charge on their own (well, of course, they need sunlight).
The headphones cost $230 (Rs. 18,322) and run on Exeger's Powerfoyle solar cells. According to The Verge, these cells can provide about 80 hours of "reserve" battery life, even in a room with no sunlight.
It seems unlikely that Adidas' headphones have noise cancellation, but the experimental pair comes with IPX4 water resistance, a microphone, and a USB-C port for backup charging. Wouldn't it be nice to just take your pair of wireless headphones without worrying about low charge? Yep, it's a dream!
Adidas borrows from the future
Another company called Urbanista released earbuds that also use Powerfoyle's tech to remain charged naturally. The Urbanista Phoenix may be the world's first true wireless earbuds that come with noise cancelling capabilities, all supported by solar-powered charging.

Exeger's Powerfoyle technology uses a thin plastic film that essentially turns light to keep the batteries always charged. Unlimited playtime? Yep, it's happening.
While current generation of earbuds and headphones do not need to charged everyday and are supported by fast charging capabilities, the ability to never plug in a wire into your earbuds or headphones again sounds like a dream come true.
