Swedish lifestyle audio company Urbanista has launched Urbanista Phoenix, what it describes as the world’s first true wireless, active noise cancelling earphones powered by light.
Following a successful partnership with Exeger to launch the Urbanista Los Angeles headphones, Phoenix takes the company’s Powerfoyle technology to a new level. With this patented solar cell material, the earphones’ streamlined charging case continuously recharges when exposed to all forms of outdoor or indoor light, meaning that the earphones will provide endless playtime when placed back in their case for charging and continuously exposed to light.
Phoenix also features advanced hybrid active noise cancelling technology and noise reduction microphones that filter out ambient sounds.
Meanwhile, users can always easily connect the earphones to a Bluetooth device of choice with the new multipoint connectivity feature, allowing Phoenix to connect to two devices simultaneously.
Urbanista Phoenix is also compatible with the Urbanista mobile companion app, designed to put users in complete control of their audio experience. The app provides deep customisation options, including EQ controls and information on how to get the most out of the product’s playtime, including visual indications of solar charge levels and usage, and the option to customise the earphones controls and voice assistant.
