Jbl headset is the latest (JBL's upcoming solar headset can provide almost unlimited playback time)
In an interesting move, JBL began crowdfunding a new pair of headphones through automatic charging technology. Now that the list of crowdfunding has been posted on IndieGoGo, you can book for as little as $99. Delivery is expected in October 2020.
The company calls the headset JBL Reflex Eternal. It is a wireless headset driven by the next generation of green technology. It uses Exeger's groundbreaking charging material at the headband to convert natural and artificial light into free and sustainable energy to charge headphones.
JBL claims that wearing the headset outdoors for about 2.5 hours a day will give you almost unlimited playtime. It can even be recharged through indoor lighting, but it is slower than charging in the sun.
Because of green technology, what if you don't go out and your headphones won't charge too much? It can still provide you with about 24 hours of music playback. But you should note that it is also recharged by artificial light. It also supports USB speed charging if necessary. It only takes 15 minutes to recharge, which will give you 2 hours of extra playtime.
The JBL is a lightweight headset with excellent sound quality. Therefore, the focus is not limited to the cost of providing green technology. The music experience will be great. And a hands-free microphone. Context-aware and intercom technologies will improve the user experience.
This is still the prototype. As a result, the final product design may be different from the photos the company has released so far.
