Urbanista’s Malibu wireless speaker charges using the power of the sun

Bluetooth speakers are often designed to be used outdoors, but few actively draw on the elements to give them a boost. Urbanista’s new Malibu portable speaker is the latest addition to the company's line-up of light-powered products, becoming the world's first solar-powered speaker thanks to Exeger's Powerfoyle technology.

The waterproof Malibu self-charges whenever you expose it to either indoor or outdoor light, meaning you can keep your music topped up wherever you are (although it’s best to avoid dark caves and spooky dungeons).
