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. The headphones can also be charged by USB from your computer.
Here are the full headset specifications:
- Audio driver unit size: 40mm
- Impedance: 32 +/- 10% Ohm
- Frequency response: 20hz to 20,000Khz
- 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
