If You Go Out Into The Sun
Written by Aqil Nasri
Have you ever wanted to listen to your wireless headphones all day long and not worry about battery life? Well, JBL might have a solution for you.
Introducing the Reflect Eternal headphones. It uses ‘Exeger Powerfoyle’ solar charging technology that helps the headphones charge while you are outdoors or indoors. The solar panel strip that handles the charge is placed on the headband. However, JBL still provides a backup USB Speed Charge in case users aren’t able to charge it through solar energy.
JBL has proudly claimed that wearing the headphones outdoors for about 2 and a half hours per day will net you “virtually unlimited playtime”. What’s even more impressive is the fact that you can still charge the headphone from indoor lighting, albeit at a much slower pace.
While the idea does impress me, I’m still a bit skeptical of the overall execution of the whole product, as currently, it’s not a finished product yet. JBL is currently crowdfunding the product over at Indiegogo. Although the campaign goal has been reached, none of the public had hands-on experience with the headphones yet.
Personally, I’d wait for the full release of these headphones before jumping on the train to the future. But, if you guys want to cop these bad boys early on, head on over to Indiegogo to snatch one before they get sold out! Also, let us know what you guys think about the JBL Reflect Eternal Headphones, do you think they are the future? Let us know!
