Andrew Anderson founder of OnBeat headphones has recently launched a Kickstarter Project to fund its new headphone idea: “Solar headphones that will recharge your phone while you are using them”.
The headset features a flexible solar panel on the headband which captures sun light and stores this energy in 2 Lithium batteries capable of storing 1000 mAh being able to charge 80% of your iPhone 5. The headset features a smart system that will balance the weight of the headphone once energy is stored in them. Â The headphones can also be charged by USB from your computer.
Here are the full headset specifications:
- Audio driver unit size: 40mm
- Â Impedance: 32 +/- 10% Ohm
- Frequency response: 20hz to 20,000Khz
- Â Sensitivity: 100 +/- 3 dB
The solar specification
- High powered flexible solar panel (poly-crystalline silicone)
- 55cm3 active solar area
- Two Li-Ion batteries (1000mAh)
- Provide a full battery recharge for mobile phone
- 5.5v charge capacity
