Solar powered headphones
Desert safaris are nice and all, but what happens when your iPod runs out of batteries? Instead of running for the nearest sign of civilization in search of an outlet a portable music fix, go ahead and try these ugly things on for size. The Soltronix Headphone Radio is a solar powered, 80’s style headset that lets you dial in your favorite AM/FM radio stations without the added stress of having to find an external power source. The built-in solar panels recharge the unit’s internal Ni-MH battery, providing you with hours of renewable radio wave listening, grabbing 3 days worth of juice off of a single charge. There’s no support for MP3s or satellite radio, so you might still find yourself SOL in the middle of the desert. At the very least you could comfort yourself with a hefty dose of radio static. They’re available now for $49.95 from Scientifics Online.
