RPT-02 Sol Promises to Revolutionize the Headphone Market and Costs US$240

The major multinational Adidas announced its latest release that will be available for sale next week: the RPT-02 Sol. It is a groundbreaking headphone that charges with solar energy and was developed in partnership with the Swedish company Exeger. Many believed that the project being developed would never come to fruition. However, the announcement of the launch excited the brand’s biggest fans.

The start of sales is set for next Tuesday (23) and will cost the modest sum of US$240. Converted to Brazilian Reais, the price is around R$1,2 thousand, which is not surreal considering the prices of other headphones in the market that do not have the same functionality and also cost close to that.

Adidas Sustainable Product is Versatile and Allows Charging with Solar and Artificial Energy

Of course, Adidas thinks of everything. Thus, the team responsible for developing the product, in partnership with the Swedish company Exeger, brought the dual charging capability of the headphone: solar energy and artificial energy. This way, you can enjoy the versatility of using the headphone whenever you want, not restricted to solar energy alone.

The most interesting part is that the structure of the headphone allows for charging with artificial light indoors. This is possible thanks to a strip embedded in the top of the product that captures light and converts it into power for the functions of the sustainable product.

Adidas Partnership with Exeger Brought the Powerfoyle Revolution to the Market: A Solar Strip for Headphones

The partnership between Adidas and Exeger has borne many fruits. The main one is the Powerfoyle, which is a solar strip that can be attached to the top of the headphones and can capture light and convert it into power. The arrival of this new headphone to the market will open doors to encourage other companies to adopt innovation and greater sustainability.

This strip allows the capture of artificial light and solar energy and is considered the strongest in the world. Adidas claims that the device’s autonomy can last up to 80 hours of continuous use. In other words, if you love to practice sports, you will fall in love with this groundbreaking and innovative headphone.

To check the charging status, Adidas programmed a light indicator on the headset that enables monitoring. This way, you only charge what is necessary and avoid battery fatigue.

The material was also designed to withstand water. That is, splashes, sweat, and rain will not prevent you from listening to your favorite music. Additionally, the company has installed some physical controls to facilitate the daily lives of those who practice outdoor sports.

The Solar-Powered Headphone Project Was Old and Finally Took Shape, Exciting Many Adidas Fans

The RPT-02 model is an old dream of Adidas that has been in development. Many brand enthusiasts did not believe it would really come true. But that moment has arrived, and sales will finally start next week.

The project has been planned for over two years. However, it was only in July 2022 that Adidas went public to reveal the new headphone that was in production. The company highlights the great potential of the sustainable product, as consumers demand a brand stance in favor of the environment.

In addition to using solar energy, the sustainable product was made with recycled polyester and also contains little metal in its composition. It is the first step for the audio equipment industry to start rethinking its products.

Keep an eye on the official Adidas website for the sales opening on Tuesday.
