These Adidas over-ear headphones can draw energy from any light source

Charging cords could soon be a thing of the past. Adidas has just introduced a pair of wireless over-ear headphones that doesn’t require any electrical charging. Thanks to tech from Swedish company Exeger, the RPT-02 Sol headphones will charge under any light source, whether you’re working out under the sun or the gym’s fluorescents.

Powerfoyle panels, which are screen-printed onto the plastic, allow the headphones to absorb light from natural or artificial sources. Traditional solar panels require strong, direct sunlight, but the RPT-02 Sol has the ability to charge in a variety of settings and environments.
