You could listen to these solar-powered earbuds forever. But would you want to?
just over a year ago, they had their pros and cons. High on the list of “pros” was their remarkable Powerfoyle-assisted charging system. This solar cell material, the product of a company calledambient light. Which means the Los Angeles headphones rarely, if ever, need charging via mains power.
So, by way of an encore, Urbanista has managed to incorporate the technology into a pair of true wireless in-ear headphones. They’re called Phoenix , WIRED got to try them before anyone else, and they’re unarguably a world’s first. They might even be able to provide you with endless playtime. Of course, there’s a lot about the Urbanista Phoenix that is emphatically not a world’s first. They’re absolutely standard in many ways, in fact. The earbuds themselves are a slightly chunky 30 x 26 mm version of the “dangly stem” design popularized by Apple and shamelessly appropriated by numerous brands ever since. The faintly bulbous business end has space for a 10-mm dynamic driver, while the stem itself carries some branding and features a capacitive surface that allows some touch control.
An IPX4 rating against moisture is par for the course. Bluetooth 5.2 multipoint connectivity is superior, but compatibility with just SBC and AAC codecs most certainly is not. Active noise cancellation is always welcome , and eight hours’ worth of power stored in the earbuds is half-decent, too. Add in a control app with numerous EQ presets and noise-cancellation adjustment, and a couple of choices of finish , and so far the Urbanista Phoenix are competitive with most price-comparable rivals.
Although there’s obviously not as much of the solar cell material on the charging case for a pair of true wireless in-ear headphones as there is on the outside of the headband of the preceding over-ear model, the effect is no less impressive. Yes, the Phoenix headphones take longer in the sun to fully charge than their siblings, but fully charge they will.
