Headphone News

In these days of climate change, global warming and soaring electricity bills there’s never been more reasons to save power. And what better way than with a Soltronix solar powered FM radio?

Looking rather like a headphone radio I had in the 80’s (and suspiciosly like last years WIN23 solar powered headphones) the Soltronix set provide 19 hours of AM/FM radio when fully charged. Presumably on a sunny enough day they’ll go on for ever (an arctic summer, for example).

Available now for $49.95.

Just in case last weeks clip-on earbud/earring hybrid wasn’t crazy enough, N.Tech have gone one better by announcing two new bone-conducting headphones.

The NVP100 and NVP200 aren’t the first set of bone conducting headphones I’ve came across but they are the most purple. If you can get over the looks and are actually interested in using these, they work by vibrating the sound straight into your auditory nerve via the skull. Surely that should be enough to put anyone off?

Once again, I doubt these will see the light outside of Korea.
