How about charging your headphones with solar energy? This is the promise of these Phoenixes, signed Urbanista.
The charging box is in fact equipped with small solar panels, capable of absorbing light and transforming it into energy.
A solar recharge for these Urbanista Phoenix
Last summer, Urbanista formalized its solar-powered headphones. A helmet equipped on the surface of its headband with a new generation Powerfoyle photovoltaic panel, designed by the company Exeger Powerfoyle. It is able to exploit all forms of light, not just that of the sun. Today, the firm is doing it again, by adapting solar charging to small wireless headphones, the Phoenix.
Just like the headphones, the Phoenix headphones benefit from this same Powerfoyle technology. However, and this is rather logical, the solar sensors are not integrated into the headphones themselves, but are on the charging box provided. ” Phoenix’s unique case continuously recharges whenever exposed to light, whether outdoors or indoors “, explains Urbanista.

Urbanista explains that its Phoenix headphones have an 8-hour battery life. However, with the charging case, you can count on a total battery life of around 32 hours, which should increase by around an hour for every hour spent in direct sunlight. Interesting then. Obviously, in addition to solar energy, the charging box can be powered via a good old USB-C socket.
On the audio side, the Phoenix headphones have an active noise cancellation system, a transparency mode to hear the world around you, and it is also possible to connect to two devices simultaneously. In terms of colors, they will be available in pink and black.
These Phoenix headphones signed Urbanista should be available during the last quarter of this year 2022. The selling price should be around 149 euros.
