Set distance records with these solar-powered headphones / €230
Looking for Bluetooth headphones that keep on running long after you stop? Good news is here.
Times change. Opting for sustainable products used to require a degree of compromise. But not any more. In fact, products designed to be planet-friendly often end up performing better than the ones they are designed to replace. Like these sport headphones from Adidas. By rethinking the way Bluetooth headphones are powered, the sports brand’s flagship RPT-02 SOL model delivers far more than its old-school rivals.
The secret is Powerfoyle, a pliable material that converts natural and artificial light into battery life. The solar cell is flexed over the headband of the RPT-02 SOL, using photovoltaics to fuel a battery built for 80 hours of listening. But so long as you’re near a light source, there’s no need to keep count: unlimited performance is what you get.
The RPT-02 SOL also improves on the construction specs of standard headphones. Parts can be removed for easy washing, and the set’s plastic chassis has been optimised with 87% recycled material content. An IPX4 water-resistance rating means they’re sweat and splash-proof, while their twin 40mm dynamic drivers have enough grunt and finesse to push you through the pain barrier. Now there’s no excuse to stop.
