These Headphones Are Powered By Sunlight So You Never Need To Plug Them In

JBL is seeking to fund its new JBL Reflect Eternal headphones that will run on solar power on Indigogo.

These headphones look just like the Live series of JBL and they are the result of the collaboration between the company and Exeger, the firm behind Exeger Powerfoil, which can generate power from any kind of light, from sunlight to luminescence.

The catch here is obvious. You will need to expose the pair to sunlight for at least two and a half hours a day for it to work. According to the website of JBL, users will have 24 hours of using time for every one hour of absorbing sunlight.

Users can acquire the JBL Reflect Eternal in green and red at the price of $169 (around Rs. 11,983).

If these solar-power headphones make it to the market, they can be a real hit. Environmentalists will be pleased to know that there is another carbon-neutral product on the market. Commuters who have to spend a lot of time on the road can have a pair of headphones that does not need to be charged at the end of the day.

The question now is whether the JBL Reflect Eternal can work as advertised.

The fact that a brand like JBL has to go through Indigogo to fund its new product has raised some suspicion. It appears that the company is seeking a safe bet on these headphones.

Unfortunately, for those who are interested in putting money on this product, the brand name can do little in ensuring its success. There have been enough tragedies relating to crowdfunding to make us think twice before considering the idea of a small investment.

If you have confidence in this idea or just want to save Rs. 4,900 on these new headphones, you can place an order now for just Rs. 7,000 on Indiegogo.
