Looking like something out of HALO, Romanian Engineering student Shepeleff Stephen has come up with a unique concept for Bluetooth-enabled solar powered headphones that incorporate amorphous silicon solar cells into its flexible plastic headband. His concept ‘The Q-SOUND’ will allow any user to listen to music via any Bluetooth enabled digital device, as well as take calls from any Bluetooth enabled cell phone.
The Q-SOUND will contain two removable NiMH (image shows Lithium Ion) rechargeable batteries, with a capacity of 800mAh and operating voltage of 1.2V, are located within the headband, just above either earpiece, which keep the headphones charged for up to 40 hours. According to Shepeleff, an hour of sunlight should provide more than 2.67 hours of running time for the headphones when operating on maximum volume.
Shepeleff’s futuristic design for the Q-SOUND further extends the current trend of embedding flexible solar cells into clothing and portable electronic devices. Solar power is finally beginning to permeate through society. Great concept …

I am loving all of the everyday items being run on solar power. It seems like it is coming in a big wave. After all of the talk about it for so many years, it is finally happening on a very large scale.

I wonder how good they sound.
